rHE MAELsTROM WHIRLPOOL.

| HE MALLS NUN WIAAhLA OOAs
The following interesting account of the
celebrated Whirlpool, on the coast of
| Norway, was communicated in a letter
from Captain Doane, in 1928, to the late
Hon. A. B. Woodward, Judge of Middle
Florida, and has been found among many
other curious papers he left on file:
This wonderful phenomenon, that has
excited the wonder and establishment of
the new world, I have seen. There are
few of my countrymen who have had the
opportunity in consequence of the situa-
ton of it being remote from any port of
commerce. Its latitude and longitude |
do not exactly recollect. It's situated
between two islands belonging to a group
off the coast of Norway, called the Lovin-
staff Islands. Between Drontheim (being
the most northern port of commerce) and
the north cape, ] suppose the latitude to
be-about 90 north; but will NOT be cer-
tain. l had occasion some years to navi-
gate ship from the north cape to Dron-
theim, nearly all the way between the
islands or rocks and the main. On in
curing of my Norway pilot about the
practIcability of running near the whirl-
pool, he told me that with good breeze
1t could be approached near enough for
examination without danger /: | at once de-
termined to satisfy myself. We began to
near it about 10 A. M. in the month of
September, with fine trading wind at
north west. Two good seamen were
placed at the helm-the mate on the
quarter deck, and all hands at their sta
tions for working ship, and the pilot
standing on the bowsprit, between the
night heads. went ON the maintop-sail
yard with good glass. had been seat
ed but few moments, when my ship en-
tered the dish Of the whirlpool-the We
locity of the water altered her course three
points towards the centre, although she
was going eight knots through the water.
This alarmed me extremely. For a mo-
ment, thought that destruction was inev-
liable, She however, answered her helm
sweetly, and we ran along the edge-the
waves foaming round us in every form,
while she was dancing gaily over them.
The sensations | experienced are difficult
to describe. Imagine to yourself an inn
mense circle running round, of diameter,
OF one and half miles, the velocity in
creaslng as it approximated towards the
centre, and gradually changing its dark
blue colour 10 withdrawing, tumbling,.
and rushing to its yortex-very much con-
cave, as much SO as the water in a funnel
when half run out. The noise, too, hiss
ing, roaring agfdi 5dasPbiieseured rne most
awful, grand, and solemn sight, ever ex-
perienced. We were near it about eigh-
teen minutes, and in sight Of it two hours.
1t is evidently subteranean passage, that
leads-the Lord knows where. From its
magnitude, should not doubt, that in
slant destruction would be fate of a dozen
of our largest ships, were they drawn in
at the same moment. The pilot says, that
several vessels have been sucked down,
and that whales have also been destroy
ed: the first think probable enough, but
rather doubt the latter. | have thus,
sir, given you lame but true account.

RESURRECTION ANEcpoTE.

Last week, at village near Hall,
spirited young labouring man was return
ing from visit to his sweetheart about
twelve o'clock at night, when, in passing
the churh-yard, he saw horse and cart
without driver, standing near the gate.
Susrecting it belonged TO resurrection
men, who were labouringin their vocation
in the church-yard, he concealed himself,
to watch, and soon saw two men carry
corpse from the church-yard, which they
put upright in the cart, wrapping it up in
great coat, and placing hat on the
head, evidently to give it the appearance
of a living person. This ceremony per-
formed, they returned to fill up the grave;
the intrepid observer of their proceedings
lost no time in taking the body out OF the
cart, and placing ii on the darkest side
of the road where it could not be discoy-
cred, and taking possession of the vacant
place himself, wrapped up in the same
coat and the same hat on his head. The
robbers of the dead soon returned and
Jumped into the cart perfectly satisfied
with their success, when one of them, for
the purpose of adjusting the situation Of
their prize, took hold of his hand, as he
supposed, and Immediately exclaimed, in
terrified accents, !" Oh John, he's warm"
" I'll warm you" replied the fancied
corpse, in solemn sound, at the same time
slowly raising himself in the cart. One
of the Mortified resurrectionists sprang
from the cart and fled with the utmost
speed of fright; the other who had touch
ed the warm hand Of the late tenant Of
the grave, fell ON his knees to supplicate
mercy ; but probably encouraged by the
the success of his companion, after a mo-
ment ofincoherent prayer for forgiveness,
summoned resolution, leaped from the
cart and fled. The ingenious captor re-
mains in undisputed possession of the
cart and horse, as the reward Of his
achievement; the body has, Of course
been archaeological paper.

FEEDING CATTLE WITH TURNIps. A

FEEDING CATTLE WITH TURNIps. A.
merican writer's on agriculture have often
expressed their opinions that the culture
of roots for feeding cattle, was less adyi-
sable in this country than in England,
because our winters were SO severe that
they could not be drawn in the winter,
and fed out in the fields where they grow ;
as they may be in England. But an Eng
lish cultivator, whose observations are
published in the appendix to Plymley's
Survey of Shropshire" says " | think it
much more advantageous to carry all the
turnips to cattle in stalls than to feed them
out Oh the land, because they furnish
much more food and manure" lib.

All was unutterable astonishment; but
Lewis Brabant was the most astonished
Of the two modestly declared that now
tor the first time in his life, he was con-
WINGED of the possibility of the dead
holding conversation with the living and
admitted that, in truth, he had been en-
ployed In redeeming christian slaves from
the Turks.
The mind of the old miser was dis
tracted with a thousand contending pas
sions. He was suspicious without ap-
parent cause; filial duty prompted him to
rescue his father from the abode of mise
~: but ten thousand crowns was large
sum even for such purpose. AT length
ne adjourned till the next day to meet in
another place. He required time to exa-
anime into this mysterious affair, and he
wished, as he said, to give his father an
opportunity of trying whether he could
not bargain for smaller sum.
They accordingly met the next day,
and agreeably to Cornu on an open COM
mon in the vicinity of Lyons, where
there was neither house, nor wall, nor
tree, nor bush that could conceal a
confederate. No sooner, however, had
they met than the old misers ears were
again assailed with the same hideous and
sepulchral cries, upbraiding him for hav-
ing suffered his father to remain for TWEEN
ty-four hours longer in the torments Of
dcnouncing that. unless the
demand OF the ten thousand crowns was
instantly complied with, the sum would be
doubled and the miser himself would be
condemned to the same doleful regions,
and to an increased degree of torture.
Cornu moved a few PAGES forward, but
was assailed with still louder shrieks: he
advanced again, and now instead of hear
ing his fathers voice alone, he was assail-
ed with the dreadful outcry of the whole
Cornu family for the last two or three
generations, all suffering in purgatory,
and all included in the general contract
Of ten thousand crowns; all beseeching
him to have mercy on them, and to have
mercy on himself Cornu could not re-
slst the threats and outcres Of so many, |
paid the ten thousand crowns
INTO the hands Of Lewis Brabant, and felt
some pleasure that by postponing the pay

able to rescue the whole family of Cornus
or the same sum of money, as was at
irst demanded for his father alone. The |

money, returned to Paris, married his in
