MS. FOUND IN 4 BOTTLE
By EDGAR ALLAN POE.
Qui ma plus qu'un moment 6 vivre Ma plus rien dissimuler.

-Quinault-Atys.
 Of my country and of my family I have little to say. III usage and length of years have driven me from the one and estranged me from the other. He reditary wealth afforded me an educa- ton of no common order, and conten- plative turn of mind enabled me to methodize the stories which early study diligently garnered up. Beyond all things, the works of the German moral ists gave me great delight, not from my i'll advised admiration of their elo- uuent madness, but from the ease with which my habits of rigid thought en- abled me to detect their falsities.
 have often been reproached with the aridity of my genius, deficiency of inn agination has been imputed to me as 8 crime, and the Pyrrhonism of my opln- ions has at all times rendered me note rious. Indeed strong relish for physical philosophy has, Il fear, tinctured my mind with common error of this age-Imean the habit of referring occurrences, even the least susceptible of such reference, to the principles of that science. Upon the whole, no person could be less liable than myself to be led away from the severe precincts of truth by the ignes fatui of superstition. I have thought proper to premise thus much, lest the ln- credible tale have to tell should be con- sidered rather the raving of crude inn agination than the positive experience of a mind to which the reveries of fancy have been dead letter and 8 nullity.

and to the left, and we are whirling dig zily in immense concentric circles round and round the borders of gigantic amphitheater, the summit of whose walls is lost in the darkness and in the distance. But little time will be left me to ponder upon my destiny. The cir cles rapidly grow snall-we are plung- ing madly within the grasp of the whirl- poland amid roaring and below ing and laundering of ocean and tenn pest the ship is quiyering-O God! and going down!

and fro about her rigging. But what mainly inspired us with horror and as-' tonishnent was that she bore up under press of sail in the very teeth of that supernatural. sea and of that ungovern- able hurricane. When we first discov- cred her, her bows were alone to be seen as she rose slowly from the dim and hor- rible gulf beyond her. For moment of intense terror she paused upon the giddy pinnacle, as if in contemplation of her own sublimity, then trembled and tottered and-came down.
 At this instant know not what sud den self possession came over my spirit. Staggering as far aft as could, await ed fearlessly the ruin that was to over whelm. Our own vessel was at length ceasing from her struggles and sinking with her head to the sea. The shock. of the descending mass struck her conse- quently in that portion of her frame which was nearly under water, and the inevitable result was to hurl me with ir- resistible violence upon the rigging of the stranger.
 AS I fell the ship hove in stays and went about, and to the confusion eilsu- ing I attributed my escape from the no- tice of the crew. With little difficulty made my way unperceived to the main hatchway, which was partially open, and soon found an opportunity of secreting myself in the hold. Why did so can hardly tell An indefinite sense of awe, which at first sight of the nayi. ..ators of the ship had taken hold of my mind, was perhaps the principle of my conceal ment. was unwilling to trust myself with race of people who had offered to the cursory glance I had taken so many points of vague novelty, doubt and ap- prehension. l therefore thought proper to contrive a hiding place in the hold. This did by moving a small portion of | the shifting boards in such manner as | to afford me 8 convenient retreat between the huge timbers of the ship.
 l I had scarcely completed my work when a footstep in the hold forced me to make use of it. A man passed by my place of concealment with feeble and unsteady gait I could not see his face, but had an opportunity of observing his general appearance. There was about it an evidence of great age and infr1nity. | HIS huOCS UOGCC1CO pCACtUu d lOtA Oi years, and his entire frame quivered un- der the burden He muttered to himself in low, broken tone some words of a language which I could not understand and groped in corner among 8 pile of singular looking instruments and de cayed charts of navigation. His manner was wild mixture of the peevishness of second childhood aud the solemn dignity of god. He at length went on deck, and I saw him no more.
 A feeling for which have no name has taken possession of my soul-a sen sation which Will admit of no analysis, to which the lessons of bygone time are in adequate, and for which fear futurity itself will offer me no key. To mind constituted like my own the latter con- sideration is an evil. I shall never-l know that I shall never-be satisfied with regard to the nature of my concep- tions Yet it is not wonderful that these conceptions are indefinite, since they have their origin in sources so utterly novel. A new sense, 8 new entity, if added to my soul.

 When look around me, I feel ashamed of my former apprehensions. If trem- b1ed at the blast which has hitherto at tended us, shall I not stand aghast at a warning of wind and ocean; to convey any idea of which the words tornado and simoom are trivial and ineffective? All in the immediate vicinity of the ship is the biackTess of eternal night and a chaos of .foa1nless water, but, about a league on either side of us may be seen, irldistinctly and at intervals, stupendous ra1hparts of ice towering away into the desolate sky and looking like the walls of the universe. e.,, ;..-; ..s s.4 .s.;
 As I imagined, the ship proves to be in a current--if that appellation can properly be given to tide which, howl ing and shrieking by the white ice, thun- 'ders on to thessouthward with velocity like the headlong dashing of cataract
 To conceive the horror of my sensa- tions is, l presume, utterly impossible. Yet curiosity to penetrate the -mYs- teries of these awful regions predomi- mates even over my despair and will reconcile me to the most hideous aspect of death. It is evident that we are hrir- rying onward to some exciting knowl- edge-some never-to-be-imparted secret, whose attainment is destruction. Per haps this current leads us to the south ern pole itself It must be confessed that supposition apparently so wild has every probability in it's favor,

It is long since I first trod the deck of this terrible ship, and the rays of my destiny are, think gathering to focus. Incomprehensible men! Wrapped up in meditations of kind which I cannot divine, they pass me by unnoticed. Con cealment is utter folly on my part, for the people will not see.

 An incident has occurred which has given me new room for meditation. Are such things the operation of ungoverned chance? had ventured upon deck and thrown myself down without attracting any notice among q pile of ratlin stuff and old sails in the bottom of the yawl. While musing upon the singulmity of my fate, I unwittingly daubed with a tar brush the edges of a neatly folded studding sail which lay near me on a barrel. The studding sail is, now bent upon the ship. and the thoughtless touches of the brush are spread out into the word Discovery" s1 <. -r have made many observations lately upon the structure of the vessel.
