JOHN ANDERSON, MY JO This exquisite ballad, constructed by Robert Burns, out of a different and somewhat exceptionable lyric, has always left something to be wished for and regretted: it is not complete. But who would ven ture to add to a song of Burns? As Burns left it, it runs thus: John Anderson, my jo, John, When we were first acquent, Your locks were like the raven, Your bonnie brow was brent; But now your brow is bald, John, Your locks are like the snow; But bleedings on your frosty pow, John Anderson, my jo. John Anderson. my jo, John, We clam the bill thegither; And mony a canty day, John, We've had wi' one anither ; Now we mann totter down, John, But hand in hand we'll go, And sleep thegither at the foot, John Anderson, my jo. Fine as this is, it does not quite satisfy a contem plative mind , when une' has gone eo far, he looks and longs for something more—something beyond the foot of the hill. Many a reader of Burns must have felt this, and it is quite probable that many have attempted to supply the deficiency, but we know of only one success in so hazardous an exper iment. This is the added verse John Anderson, my jo, John, When we have slept thogither, The sloop that a' mann sleep, John, We'll wake wi' one anithor ; And input better world, John, Nao4iorrow shall wo know ; Nor foar we ear shall part again, John Anderson, my Jo. Sitnplo, touching, ,true—nothing wanting, and nothing to spare; precisely harmonizing with the original stanzas, and improving thorn by the fact of completing thum. The poetical aohlovoinent is at tributed to Mr Charles Gould, a gentleman whose life has boon chiefly devoted to the successful comb'. nation of Jig Iv es—but not Ilguree of rhetoric. The verse was written some years ago, but it has not hitherth found its way into print ; yet it well deserves to be incorporated with the original song in any fu ture edition of Burns' Poems, and we hope some publisher will not on this suggestion CARL BLUVEN, And The Strange Mariner. On that wild part of the coast of Nor way that stretches between Bergen and Stravanger, there once lived a fisherman called Carl tiluven. Carl was one of the poorest of all the fishermen that dwelt on the shore. He had scarcely the means of buying materials wherewith to mend his net, which was scarcely in a condition to hold the fish in it; still less was he iu a condition to make himself master of a new boat, which he stood greatly in need of ; for it was so battered and worn, that while other fishermen ventured out into the open sea, Carl was obliged to content himself with picking up what he could among the rocks and creeks that lay along the coast. Notwithstanding his poverty, Carl was on the eve of marriage. His bride was the daughter of a wood-cutter in the neigh boring forest, who contrived, partly with his hatchet, and partly with his gun, to eke out his livelihood ; so that the march was pretty equal on both sides. But Carl was in a sad dilemma on one account; he had nothing to present to the minister on his marriage,'—not a keg of butter, nor a pot of sausages, nor a quarter of a sheep, not even a barrel of dried fish ; and as he had been accustomed to boast to his father in=law of his thriving trade, he knew not in what way to keep up appearances. In short, the evening before his wedding day arrived, and Carl was still unprovided. So dejected had Carl been all day, that he had never stirred out of his hut; and it was approaching nightfall. The wind had risen, and the hollow bellowing of the waves, as they rolled in among the huge caverned rocks, sounded dismally in Carl's ear, for he knew he dared not launch his leaky boat in such a sea; and yet, if he caught no fish, there would be nothing for supper when he should bring his wife home. Carl rose, clapped his hat on his head, with the air of a man who is resolved to do something, and walked out upon the shore. Nothing could be more dismal than the prospect around Carl's but ; no more desolate and dreary home than Carl's could a man bring his bride to. Great black round-headed rocks, partly covered with sea-weed, were thickly strewn along the coast for many miles; these, when the tide was out, were left dry, and when it flowed, their dark heads now seen, now hidden, as the broad-backed waves rolled over them, seemed like the tumbling mon sters of the deep. When Carl left his hut, the rising tide had half covered the rocks ; and the waves, rushing through the narrow channels, broke in terrific violence on the shore, leaving . a wide restless bed of foam, as they retreated down he sloping beach.— The sun, too, was just disappearing be neath the waves, and threw a bright and almost unnatural blaze upon the desolate coast. Carl wandered along, uncertain what to do. He might as well have swaniperl his boat at once, as to have dr awn it out of the creek where it lay secure ; so, after wading in and out among the chan nels, in the hope of picking up sonic fish that might. not have been able to.find their way back with the wave that had thrown them on shore, he at length sat down upon a shelving rook, and looked out upon the sea, towards the great whirlpool called the Maelstrom, of which so many fearful things I were recorded. "What riches are buried there," said Carl to himself, half aloud. "Let me see —within my time three great ships have been sucked down ; and if the world be, as they say, thousands of years old, what a mine of wealth must the bottom of the Maelstrom be ! What casks of butter and hams—to say nothing of gold and silver— and here am I, Carl Bluven, to be married to-morrow, and not a keg for the minister. If I had ut one cask from the bottom of the Maelstrom I would"— But Carl did not finish the sentence. Like all the fishermen of that coast Carl had his super ' stitions and his beliefs ; and he looked round him rather uneasily, for he well knew that all in the Maelstrom belonged to Kahlbrannar, the tall old mariner of the *The fees paid to the clergy in Norway, at births, Marriages, and burials, are ninny§ paid in kind. whirlpool ;t and after having had the har dihood to entertain so bold a wish, Carl felt more uncomfortable that he cared to own; and seeing the night gathering in, and the tide rising to his feet, while the spray dashed in his face, he was just about to return to his solitary hut, when a high crested wave, rushing through the channel beside him, bore a cask along with it, and threw it among the gi eat stones that lay between the rocks. As parts of wrecks had often been thrown upon this dangerous coast, Carl was not greatly surprised ; and the circum stance having greatly allayed the supersti tious fears that were beginning to rise, he had soon his hands upon the cask, getting it out from among tee rocks in the best way he was able, till, having reached the sand, he rolled it easily up to the door of of his dwelling, and having shut the door, and lighted his lamp, he fell to work in opening the cask to see what it contained. It proved to be the very thing he wanted ; a cask of as fine butter as ever came out of Bergen, and as fresh a if had been churned a month ago. "This is better," said Carl, "than a cask from the bottom of the Maelstrom." Next morning, betimes, Carl Bluven was on his way to his wedding, rolling the cask before him, with the larger half of the butter in it for his marriage fee. With such a present as this Carl was well re ceived by the minister, as well as by his father-in-law, and by Uldewalla the bride, who, with the crown upon her head, the Norwegian emblem of purity, became the wife of the fisherman ; and he, after spend ing a day or two in feasting with his new relations, returned with Uldewalla to his hut on the sea shore, carrying back with him a reasonable supply of sausages, and brandiwine, and Liannnel Orsk cheese, and such like „dainties as the dowry of his wife. For some little while all went well with Carl. What with the provisions he had brought home, and the remains of his but ter, the now married couple did not fare . , amiss, even although the fisherman rarely drew a net; for Curl wished to enjoy his honeymoon, and not he wading and splash- Lug among the sea-green waves, when he might he looking into the blue eyes of &walla. At length, however, the sausage puts stood empty, and even the Gamine' Orsk cheese was reduced to a shell ; as for the butter, Carl and his wife had found it so good, that the cask had been empty lung since. Carl left his hut, taking his net and his oars over his shoulders, leaving Uldewalla picking cloud-berries, and unmooring his boat, paddled out of the creek and began throwing his nets ; but not a fish could he take ; still he continued to try his fortune in and out among the creeks till the sun set, and dusk began to creep over the shore. The tide had retired, so that Carl's boat was i left dry a long way within water mark, and he had to walk a dreary mile or more, over the shingle and sand, among the black dripping rocks that lay between him and his own dwelling. But there was no help for it ; so, mooring the boat the best way he could, he turned towards the coast, in somewhat of a dejected mood at his want of success. As Carl turned away, he noticed at a little distance, elose to the water, a small boat, that well tie knew belonged to no fisherman of that coast ; it was the very least boat he had ever seen, such as no fisherman of Bergenhuns, could keep afloat on such a sea ; and the build of it, too, was the queerest he had ever beheld.— But Carl, seeing from the solitary light that shone in the window of his hut, that Uldewalla expected him, kept his direct course homeward, resolved next day to re turn and examine the boat, which he had no doubt had been thrown ashore from some foreign wreck. But Carl had soon still greater cause for wonder ; raising his eyes from the pools of water, in which he hoped to find some floundering fish, he observed a tail figure advancing from the shore, in the direction of the little boat he had seen, and nearly in the same line he was pursu ing. Now Carl was no coward ; yet he would rather have avoided this rencontre. He knew well that no fisherman would walk out among the rocks towards the sea at the fall of night ; and besides, Carl I " You know," said he, "I am but a poor knew all the fishermen within six leagues, fisherman ; you ask me what I would give and this was none of them ; but he dis- 1 for all I see here ; and you know I have dained to turn out of his way, which, in- nothing to give." deed, he could only have done by wading " There you're wrong again," said Kahl through some deep channels that lay on brannar ; " sit down upon that chest of either side of him ; and so he continued gold, friend, and listen to what I am going to walk straight on, his wonder, however, to propose.

Carl thought more of the tily towards the sea. Carl remained for dream than he cared to tell his wife; he some time rooted to the spot, looking after could not help fancying that all he had him through the deepening dusk, which, seen in his dream was real ; and having however, just enabled Carl to see him reach already substantial proof of Kahlbrannar's the little boat, and push off through the good disposition towards him, he saw noth surf—but further he was unable to follow ing incredible in the idea, that he might him• r become all that riches could make him.

Carl guessed where it came from ; and roll ing the cask to his own door, he was soon busy staving it, and drawing out, one after another, some of the choicest white pud dings, (a favorite article of the Norwegian kitchen,) and dried hams, that ever left the harbor of Bergen. " Here's to Kahlbran nar's health," said Carl, after supper, ta king his cup of corn brandy in his hand, and offering to hobernob with his wife. But Uldeqvalla shook her head and refused to hobernob, or to drink, and Carl fancied, and no doubt it was but fancy, that he heard a strange laugh outside the hut, and that, as he raised his eyes, he saw the face of the tall may iner draw back from the window. Carl, however, tossed off his cup, ra , her proud of the friendship of Kahl bran n ar. Carl Bluven had a singular dream that night. He thought that, looking out of the door of his hut, he saw the little boat he had noticed that evening, lying beyond the rocks at low tide, and that he walked out to examine it; and being curious to know whether he could steer so very small a boat, he stept into it: and leaning for ward, hoisted the li tle sail at the bow, the only one it had ; and when he turned round'' to take the helm : he saw the tall mariner sitting as steersman. Away shot the boat, Carl nothing daunted at the , cOmpany he was in, or the frailty of the vessel, for the helmsman steered with wonderful dexterity and the boat flew along like a sea-bird skimming the waves. Not a word was spo ken, till after a while the steersman point ing forward, said : " There she is, as I told you, the Frou, of Drontheim, bearing right upon the Maelstrom, as my name is Kahl brannar ; she'll be down to the hot tout be fore us," Carl now looked out ahead, and saw a fearful sight ; the sea, a league iiross, Was like a boiling caldron, whirling nnuid and round and round, and gradually, as it were, shelving down in the c°.intre, where appeared a huge hole, round which the water wheel d with an awful swirl, strong enough to suck in all the fleets that over sailed the sews. A gallant th'ree-inast;iil ship was within the whirlpool ; she no longer answered the helm, but flew round and round the caldron, gradually nearinr , its centre, which she soon reached, and, stern foremost, rushed down the gulf that swallowed her up. But notwithstanding the Maelstrom, and the horrors of this spectacle, Carl did not yet awake from his dream. The little boat, piloted by the tall mariner, flew directly across the whirlpool to the centre—down, down they sank, and the next moment Carl found himself walk ing with hts companiorAp❑ the ribbed se sand at the bottom 9Ff the Maelstrom. What a sight wet the eyes of Carl ! Moun tains of wealth ; piles of all that ships have carried or nations trafficked in from the beginning of time ; wrecks of a thousand vessels, great and small, scattered here and there, and the white bones of the mar iner* thicker strewn than gravestones in a church-yard. But what mainly attracted the eyes of Carl, was the gold and silver that lay about as plentiful as pebble-stones all bright and fresh, though ever so old ; for Carl could see upon some of ihe coins which he p eked up, the name of Cluff Kyr ree, the first King of Norway. " Now," said Kahlbrannar, after Carl has feasted his eyes awhile upon all he saw, " what would you give, Carl Bluven, to be master of all this ?" " Faith," said Carl, " it's of little use lying here ; but save and except the silver and gold, that which has lain in the salt water so long can be worth little." " There you're wrong," said Kahlbran nar, taking up a large pebble-stone, and beating out the end of a cask, out of which rolled as fine fresh sausages as ever were beaten, grafed, and mixed by any Frou of Bergenhuus ; " just taste them, friend : and besides, have you forgotten the casks I sent ?", Carl tasted and found them much to his liking. Uldeawlla, feeling uneasy in her mind, rose and looked through the small window, and saw her husband, in the grey of the morn ing, walk out among the black rocks (for the tide was back) and, although her eye was unable to follow all his turnings out and in among the channels, she could see him afterwards standing close to the low water line, and another taller of stature standing by him. Uldewalla's eyes filled with tears : and when she wiped away the dimness, she could preceive neither her husband nor' his companion. Carl, however, was not long absent ; a terrific storm soon after arose, and in the midst of it he arrived, rolling a huge cask up to the door. " It is singular," said Uldewalla, " that fortune should so often throw prizes. in your way, Carl ; for my part, I would rather eac, some fish of my own catching, than the stores of poor shipwrecked mari ners." But Carl laughed, and jested, and drank, and feasted, and was right merry ; and swore that fishing was a poor trade ; and that he thought of leaving it, and set ting up for merchant in Bergen. Ulde walla thought he was making merry in his cups, and that he only jested ; but she was mistaken. Next day Carl told her he was discontented with his manner of living —that he was resolved to be a rich man, and that the very next morning they should depart for Bergen. Uldewalla was not sorry to leave the neighborhood, for more reasons than one; and besides, being a dutiful wife, she offered no opposition to her husband's will. The same evening Carl walked out along the coast for the last time, that he might consider all that had passed, and all that was to come ; and as he slowly passed he thus summed up the articles of his agree ment : " It's a good bargain I've made, anyhow," said he ; "I may never have a daughter at all ; and if I have, 'tis seven teen or eighteen good years before Kahl hranner can say aught about the matter ; and lung before that time, who knows what may happen, or what plan I may hit upon to slide out of the bargain l" But Carl knew little of him with whom ho lied to deal, or ho w uld scarcely have talked about slid out of his bargain.. We'll, next morning saw Carl and Ulu walla on their way to Bergen. Uldewalla proposed that they should take their pro visions with them, and such little articles us they possessed ; but Carl said there was no occasion for such strict economy, as he had a well stored warehouse and everything comfortable at Bergen ; and, although Uldewalla wondered at all her husband told her, she resolved to say nothing more about it just then ; and so Carl and his wife followed the path through the skirts of the forest, sometimes diving into the deep solitudes of the old pines, and sometimes emerging upon the seashore, until towards night they reached the side of a great Fiord (an arm of the sea,) that ran many, many leagues inward ; and Ul dewalla looked up in her husband's face, as if to .1.1: Low they were to get over.— But Carl pointed to asmall creek just before them, where lay the very least boat, and the queerest shaped, that Uldewalla had ever seen ; and Carl helped her into it and paddled her over. Uldewalla wished her husband to moor the boat, that the owner might find it again ; but Carl, with a significant look said, " Trust him for find ing it ;" and so the boat drifted from the Fiord towards the sea ; and Carl and his wife pursuing their journey, arrived the same afternoon at Bergen. Carl led Uldewalla to a good house, fac ing the harbor, where, as he said, every thing was prepared for their reception. A neighbor who had lived hard by brought the key, telling them that a good fire was I lighted, for a tall gentlemen, who engaged I the house, had ordered everything to be got ready that evening, and adding : "The quantity of goods brought into the ware house this day is the wonder of all Ber gen. They've been carried in as fast as boats could land them and boatmen carry them ; and the boatmen, they say, were all as like to each other as one cask they car ried was to another." Never, indeed, was a warehouse better stored than was Carl I3luveu's. Casks of butter, casks of reindeer hams, casks of foreign spirits, jars of grated meat and jars of spotted fish, all ready for sale or for export, were piled in rows one above another ; and besides all, there was a gran ary filled with as flue Dantzic corn as ever was seen in the Bergen market. Carl drove all before him ; and as everything that he sold was allowed to be prime, and as all that he bou_ lit was paid for in gold counted down, he was soon looked upon as a most considerable merchant, and the most moneyed man in Bergenhuus. It is true, indeed, that Carl had some detrac tors. Some wondered where he come from, and others where he got his money ; and to all who did much business with Carl, it was a matter of surprise that all his pay ments were made in old coin, or strange coin, and not the current money of the country. But prosperity always raises up enemies, and there are whisperers in Ber gen as well as elsewhere. And Carl's gold coin was, good gold, and none the worse for its age ; and his payments were punc tual ; and so he soon rose above these cal umnies. To Uldewalla, all this time, it was a mighty agreeable change. In place of be- ; ing a poor fisherwoman's wife, clad in the ' course stuff of Stavanger, she was the - H frou of the richest merchant in Bergen huus ; with her silks from France, and muslins from England. and her furs the richest that could be bought in the Ham burg markets. And in good time Uldewalla became the mother of a girl so beautiful that she was the admiration of her parents and the won ' der of all Bergen. About the time of this event a cloud might have been seen upon Carl's brow ; but it wore off, and he was as fond and happy a father as any in all Bergenhuus ; and as Uldewalla never gave him but this one, he was the prouder of the one he had. Well might any one be proud of the little Carintha. The purest of hearts was mirrored in the most beautiful of faces.— But there was a seriousness in the depth of her large, mild blue eyes, that was re marked by all who looked upon her ; and in the gentle and courteous speech there was a sadness that never failed to reach the hearts of those upon whose ears her accents fell. And Carintha fell into great er beauty, and more and more won the affection of all who knew her ; and at length she reached the verge of woman hood, and grew more lovely still, every day disolosing stew ohms, or adding another grace to those that had accompa nied her from her infancy. For the first fifteen years after Carintha was born, Carl was not only a thriving but a right merry merchant. His dealings grew more extensive; and in respect of wealth, he distanced all competition. Carl enjoyed himself also : lie had his five meals every day ; sour black bread was never seen in his house ; he had his wheaten bread, and his dainty rye bread sprinkled with caraway seeds ; and his soup with spiced balls in it ; and his white puddings, and his black puddings, and his coffee, aye, and his wine and cognac ; and he bobber nobed with his neighbors, and sang Gamle I'Vorge, (the national song of Norway,) and, in short, enjoyed himself as the first mer chant in Bergen might. But as Carintha grew up,. Carl grew less merry ; and when she had passed her sixteenth summer, and when Uldewalla, some little time after this, spoke to her husband about settling Car intha in the world, any one, to have looked into Carl's face at that time, would see that something extraordinary was passing within. It was about a year after this that the son of the Governor of Bergenhuus, Hamel Von Srorgelven, cast his eyes upon Carin tha, and became enamored of her. She, on her part, did not rebuke his advances, except with that maidenly timity that is becoming; and all Bergen said there would , be a wedding. The governor liked the marriage, though Carintha was not a Fro keu (young lady of quality,) calculated the wealth that would pass into his family ; and as for Carl Bluven, rich as he was, he was elated at the thoughts of so high a connection; for Carintha having now pass ed her seventeenth year, and having beard nothing of a certain person, he began to treat all that had once passed as an old story ; and seeing his money bags about him, and his warehouses full of goods ' (goods as well as money all new and cur rent—for he had long ago parted with all his first stock, iu the way of trade)— there was nothing to remind him of his hut on the sea -coast, and what had hap pened there, and nothing but what might well breed oonfidenee in any man : so that when sitting in his substantial house, with his substantial dinner before him, and his substantial townsmen round him, he would have thought little matter of tossing a glass of corn brandy in Kahlbranner's face, if that individual had made so free as to intrude upon him. But the fancied security of the merchant was soon to be disturbed. It was the day before that upon which Carintha was to espouse Hamel Von Stor gelven. The affair engrossed all Bergen ; for k art Btuven was chief magistrate of the city, and never before were such prep arations witnessed in Bergenhuus. Carl, above all, was in high spirits ; for although the bargain he had once made would some times intrude upon his thoughts, he had taught himself the htibit of ge ting quickly rid of the recollection ; and, indeed, the multifarious business of the chief magis trate, and first merchant in Bergen, left him little leisure for entertaining the re membrance of old stories. It was a fine sunshiny day—the day, as has been said, before the celebration of Carintha's nuptials—and Carl Bluven was standing on the quay with the other mer chants looking at the cheerful sight of the ships passing in and out, and the bales of goods landing, and chatting about city matters, and trade, and such like topics— every one paying to Carl Bluven the def erence that was due to one that was on the eve of b ing allied to the governor—when suddenly all eyes were directed towards the harbor; Carl's eyes followed the rest, and sure enough, he saw something that might well create wonder in others, and something more iu him. " Where does it come from ?" said one. 64 What a singular build !" said another. " Never was such a boat seen in Bergen harbor," said a third. " And loo,k, at the helmsman," said a fourth ; " he is taller than the mast." The seamen who were aboard the ships hurried to the sides of their vessels, and looked down as the small boat glided by with the tall mariner at the helm ; the porters laid down their burdens, and stared with wondering eyes ; even the children gave over their play, to look at the strange boat and strange helmsman, As for Carl, he said nothing, but remained standing with the group of merchants. Meanwhile the boat touched the landing place, and the tall mariner stepped out and ascended the steps that led to the quay. Tlo.re was something in his appearance that nobody liked, and every one made way and stood back ; and he, with a singular sneer on his face, walked directly up to Carl Bluven, who had not fallen back like the rest, but manfully stood his ground, and was, there fore, a little apart from his companions.— No one could distinctly hear what passed between ihe tall old strange mariner and the chief magistrate, though it may be well believed that the conference ereated no small - wonder ; it was evident, however, that angry words passed between the two ; the .countenance of the mariner grew dark er and darker ; Carl's grew flashed and , angry ; and the bystanders thought they were about to proceed to extremities, when the mariner, darting a menacing scowl at ; his companion, turned away and descended into his boat, which he paddled out of the I harbor, while every one looked after it, and asked of his neighbor the same question as before, " Where does it come from'!" But no other but Carl Bluven could have an- swered that question " I served him right !" said the chief magistrate, as he walked homewards ; Ko ,, ax.42 i ta du c r urt s,„: " w ri ck A , U f 3 1, 1 ,t AN, TAN “ fulfil my bargain indeed !

RAIJOH, Ileondszy and Traikenrar. member the white bones he had seen laying at the bottom of the Maelstrom. It was Carintha's wedding day ; and a beautiful bride she went forth ; her eyes were blue, and deep, and lustrous, as the heavens that looked down upon her; her smile was like an early sunbeam upon one of her, own sweet vaileys ; her blush like the evening rose-tint upon her snowy mountain ; her bosom, tranquil, yet gently heaving, like the summer sea that girded her shores. Carintha went forth to her nuptials, having first recommended herself to God, who took her into his keeping ; and the ring was placed upon her finger, and she was wed ; and from that moment the danger that hung over her from her birth being forever gone by, the serious ness that all used to remark passed away forever from her countenance and from her speech. There is little doubt that if Carl Bluven had kept his promise to the strange mari ner, and decoyed Carintha into his power, God would have saved the child and pun ished the unnatural father by delivering him early into the hands of him with whom he had made so sinful a bargain; it would have -been more wicked still to fulfil it : and Carl's refusal to do this, as well as the good use which he made of his money, and the creditable way in which he dis charged the duties of chief magistrate, had, no doubt, weakened the power of Kahl brannar over him, and therefore, prevented the success of the many stratagems resort ed to for getting Carl into his power. And so for more than twenty years after the marriage of Carintha, Carl Bluven contin ued to enjoy his pr , sperity, and to exercise, at due intervals, the office of chief magis trate : and he saw his grand-children grow around him ; and at length buried his wife Uldewalla. But the penalty of the rash promise had yet to be paid. It chanced that Carl Bluven—who, by the way, was now Carl Von Bitiven, having long ago received that dignity—was bidden to a feast at the house of a rich citizen, who lived just on the opposite side of the harbor. Although it was nearly half a league round the harbor and across the dr twbridge, Carl walked round, rather than trust himself across in a boat ; n con veyance which, ever since his interview on the quay, he had studiously avoided. It was a great feast ; many bowls of bishop [a kind of mulled wine] were emptied, and many a national song roared in chorus ; so that Carl, as well as the rest of the guests, began to feel the effects of their potations. In the midst of their conviviality, and when it nearly approached midnight, the merri ment was suddenly interrupted by the hol low beat of the alarm drum ; and all hastily arising, and running to the window, which looked oat upon the harbor, Carl saw that his own warehouse was iu flames. Carl was not yet tired of being a rich man, and so with only some hasty expres-.ions of dis may, he hurried from the banquet, and ran at full speed towards the harbor. It was, as has been said, half a league round by the drawbridge ; the merchant saw his well-s ored warehouse within a stone's throw of him, burning away—the fumes of wine were in his head—and without further ,hought he leaped into a boat that lay just below, and pushed across. Scarcely had Carl Bluven done this, when he recollected his danger. Paddle as he would, the boat made no way ; what ex ertions the merchant made, and what were his thoughts, no one can tell. Some sea men were awoke by loud cries for help ; and some who jumped out of their ham mocks, told how they saw a boat drifting out of the harbor. Two or three days after this event, the Tellemarke, free trader, arrived in Bergen, from Iceland, and reported " that but for a strong northern breeze she would have been sucked into the Maelstrom ; that a little before sunset, when within two leagues of the whirlpool, a small boat was seen drifting empty ; and that soon after another, the smallest and strangest built boat that ever was seen, passed close under their bows to windward, paddling in the direction of the Maelstrom ; that two mar iners were in it ; he at the helm of an ex ceeding tall stature, and -ingular counte nance; that the other cried out for help ; upon which the ship lay to, and manned a boat wi.la four rowers, but that with all their exertions, they were unable to gain upon the little boat, which was worked by a single paddle ; and the boatmen, fearing that they might be drawn into the whirl pool, returned to the ship ; and that just at sunset, they could descry the small boat, by the help of their glasses, steering right across the Maelstrom, as if it had been a small pond." Of all which extraordinary facts, the master of the " Tellemarke" made a depo ition before the chief magis trate who filled the chair after Carl Bluven had disappeared in so miraculous a manner. i ) ETER D.
