Above its rocky bed;
AS if the deep was stirred beneath
n giants viewless tread
All night the hurricane went on,
And all along the shore
The smothered cry of shipwrecked men
Blent with the oceans roar
The gray-haircd man had scarcely known
So wild night before.
Morn rose upon tossing sea,
The tempest's work was done;
And freely over land and wave
Shone out the blessed SUN
But where was she-that merchant bark,
Where had the good ship gone:
Men gathered on the shore to watch
The billow's heavy swell,
Hoping, yet fearing much, some frail
Memorial might tell
The fate of that disastrous ship
Of friends they loved SO well.
None came--thc pillows smoothcd away
And all was strangely calm,
AS if the very sea had felt
"A necromancer's CHARM
And not trace was left behind,
VI violence and harm
The twilight came with sky of gold
And curtaining of night
And then sudden cry rang out,
"A ship-the ship in sight,
Aud lo!-tall masts grew visible
Ga: l,,h
Near and more near the ship came on,
With all her broad sails spread
The night grew thick, but phantom light
Around her path was shcd
And the gazers shuddcred as on she came,
For against the wind she sped.
They saw by the dim and baeful glare
Around that voyager thrown,
The upright forms Of the well known crew,
AS pale and fixed as stone
And they called to them, but no sound came
back,
Save the echoed cry alone.
The fearful stranger youth was there,
And clasped in his embrace,
The pale and passing sorrowful
Gazed wildly in his facet
Like one who had been wakened from
The silent burial place.
a shuddcr ran along the crowd
And holy man knelt there,
On the wet sca-sand, and offered up
A faint and trembling prayer,
That God would shield his people from
The Spirits of the air!
And lo!-the vision passed away
The Spectro-Ship-th crew
The stranger and his paIid bride
Departed from their view;
And nought was left upon the waves,
Beneath the arching blue.
1t passed away-that vision strange
Forever from their sight;
Yet, long shall Naumkcag's annals tell
The story of that night
The phantom-bark-th ghostly crew,
The pale, encircling light.

THE SPECTRE SHIP OF SALEM.
BY J. G.. WHITTIER.

beautiful girl-pale and sorrowfnl, how
ever-whom no one knew, and who hclt
communion with no one. This excited
the alprm of some of the credulous people
of Salem: they supposed them to be de
mons or "prestigious spirits, and they
endeavored to dissuade their friends from
entering the ship-but, nevertheless,
goodly number of passengers went OF
board the fatal ship. The remainder 0
the story is told in the following lines
The morning light is breaking forth
All over the dark blue sea
And the waves are changed-they are ricl
with gold
AS the morning waves should be;
And the rising winds are wandering out,
On their seaward pnions free.
The bark is ready-the sails are set,
And the boat rocks on the shore
Say why do the passengers linger yet,
Is not the farewell o'er'
Do those who enter that gallant ship
Go forth, to return no more,
A wailing rose by the watcr-sidc,
A young, fair girl was there
With face as pale as the face of death
When its coffin-lid is bare;-
And an eye as strangely beautiful
AS star in the upper air.
She leaned on youthful strangers arm.
A tall and silent one
Who stood in the very midst of the crowd,
Yet uttered "A word to none:
He gazed on the sea and waiting ship
But he gazed on them alone!
The fair girl leaned on the strangers arm,
- And she wept as one in fear;
But he needed not the plaintve moan,
And the dropping of the tear;
His eye was fixed on the stirring sea,
Cold, darkly and severc!-
The boat was filled-the shore was left
The farewell word was said
But the vast crowd fingered still behind
With an ovcr-powering dread;
They feared that stranger and his bride,
So pale, and like the dead
And many said that an evil pair
Among their friends had gone,-
A demon with his human prey,
From the quiet graveyard drawn;
And a prayer was heard that the innocent
Might escape the Evil One.
Away-the good ship sped away,
Out on the broad high sea-
The sun upon her path before
Behind, the steady breeze
And there was nought in sea or sky
Of fearful auguries.
The day passed on-the sunlight fell
All slantwise from the west,
And then the heavy clouds of storm
Sat on the oceans breast;
And every swelling bilIow mourned,
Like living thing distressed.
Tne sun went down among the clouds,
Tingng with sudden gold,
The pall-like shadow OF the storm,
On every mighty foId;-
And then the lghtnng's eye looked forth,
And the red thunder rolled
The storm came down upon the sea,
In its surprising dread,
Rousng the white and broken surge
