articulate sounds to the sensitive
and understanding ear of Oluz,
the sea prophet. The roaring bill
lows thunder in prophetic tones,
and ocean storms mutter of com
ing events. Volcanoes. errupting
with their molten masses the bed
o. the great deep, light up with
their lurid fires the glance of
Oluz. the sea prophet, into the
dark future, and disclOses TO his
vision its hidden secrets.
Oluz, the sea prophet, dwells,
in his coral halls beneath the sea
in the dominiOns of OK, who gov
ems the liquid realm of the beau
tiful archipelago. The mornings
first beams penetrate the liquid
deep, and greet the windows of
his coral halls with gorgeous sple
dor, opening to his view the trea-
sure1S of coming time. The walls
of his halls are hung with rich
est tapestry, by magic fingers
woven, with talismanic figures
embroidered in their texture, sym
bOlic of unborn years.
A voice came to O1uz, the sea-
prophet, I'm his coral halls, from
bounding wave saying:
Come, Oluz, from thy halls to
the surface of the sea, and look
on the tragic end Of the ill-starr.
ed Unisca, daughter of 10.
Oluz Obeyed the voice, escend-
ed from his halls, and saw the
one eyed bearing the mutilited
half of Unisca's body to her faith
er's palace
Follow him Oluz, said the voice
follow ObO to the palace of 10.
and, when it is proposed to de-
molish the airy halls, say thou
to Or, King of the liquid realms
of that beautiful archipelago.
Touch not the airy hall but
close it's entrances, and seal all
the doors thereof, isolate it from
thy palace, but destroy it not
for time shall come when it will
be the bridal chamber of two be-
ings of the upper, or atmospheric
world. There two beings Of diff
erent continents, separated by the
wide waters over whose pillows
no vessell rides, born and rear
IN different hemispheres, thou
sands of leagues apart, shall meet
i'll the shadOwy world of dreams,
and exchange tokens of love. But
in the actual waking world. they
shall never meet until they are
brought together In the airy halls
where their nuptials shall be &c
ebrated. From TINS pair shall
men who shall dwell in great
vessels on the deep, and from age
to age, shall venture farther and
farther from the shore until the
distant continents shall be con-
nected by lines of ships
Go thou also. Oluz the sea pro-
phet to Or, King of the liquil
realm of the beautiful adchpie-
lago.
Spare the airy hall, and the
crel islander shall not escape the
punishment due his perfidy and
his lust of gold.
And Oluz followed the one
eyed Obo with the mutilated Tn
isca, to the palaces of Or, King
of the liquid realm, of the beau
tiful archipelago, and 0beyed the
voice that came to him from the
in all things as he had
been commanded.
And Oluz, the sea prophet, be-
gan to munnur, and utter com
plants, saying:
What i it to our race, that
the airy hall should be preserved
the sea for the benefit
Of beings of the human racee. Or|
what care we If two beings Of
the upper, Or atmoepheEic, world
should live thousands Of leagues,
apart on different continents sep
arated by wide waters, ard, with
out aver having seems each other
should meet and lov each in the
