the palatine.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.
leagues north, as fly the gull arid auk,
Point Judith watches witn eye of hawk;
Xeagaes ,s&nth;thy beacon flames, Mantauk
Doneiy ane wind-shorn; wood-forsaken,
With never a .tree for Spring to waken,
Por tryst of lovers or farewells taken,
Circled by waters that never freeze,-
Beaten by billow and swept by breeze,
lieth the island of Manisees,
Setat the mouth of the Sound to hold
The coast-lights up on its turret old,
Yellow with moss and sea-fog mould.
Dreary the land when gust and sleet
At its doors and Windows howl and beat,
And Winter laugbts at its fires of peat!
But in Summer time, when pool and pond,
Held in the laps of valleys load,
Are blue as the glimpses of sea beyond;
When the hills.are sweet with the brier-rose,
And, hid in the warm, soft dells, unclose
flowers the mainland rarely knows;
When boats to their morning fishing go,
And, held to the wind and slanting low,
Whitening and darkening the small' sails
«how, — ~
Then is that lonely island fair;
And the pale health-seeker findeth there
The wine of life in its pleasant air.
No greener valleys the sun invite,
On smoother beaches no sea-birds light,
Noblne waves shatter to foam more white
There, circling ever their narrow range,
Quaint tradition and legend strange
Ifive on unchallenged,and know no change.
Old wives spinning-their webs of tow,
Or rocking wierdly to and fro
In and out of the peat’s dull glow,
And old men mending their nets of twine,
Talk together of dream and sign,
Talk of the lost ship Palatine,—
The ship that a hundred years before,
Freighted deep with its goodly store,
In the gales of the equinox went ashore.
The eager islanders one by one
Counted the shots of her Bignal gun,
And heard the crash when shenrove right
on!
Into the teeth of death she sped,
(May God forgive the hands that fed
The false lights over the rocky Head!)
O men and brothers ! what sights were
there!
"White, up-turned faces, hands stretched in
prayer!
Where waves had pity, could ye not spare ?
Down swooped the wreckers, like birds of
„ . p re y.
Tearing the heart of the ship away,
And the dead had never a word to say.
And then, with ghastly shimmer and shine
Over the rocks and the seething brine,
They burned the wreck of the Palatine.
In their cruel hearts, as they homeward
sped,
“The sea and the rock are dumb,” they said;
“There’ll be no reckoning with the dead.”
But the year went round, and when once
more
And along their foam-white curves of shore,
They heard the line-storm rave and roar,
Behold! again, with shimmer and shine,
Over the rocks and seething brine,
The flaming wreck of the Palatine!
So, haply in fitter words than these,
Mending their nets on their patient knees
They tell the legend at Manisees.
Nor looks nor tones a doubt betray,
‘lt Is known to us all,” they quietly say;
“We toohave seen it in our day.”
Jg there, then, no death for a word once
?
Was never a deed but left its token
Written on tables never broken ?
Do the elements subtle reflections give ?
Do pictures of all the ages live
On Nature’s infinite negative,
Whence, half in sport, in malice halt;
Bhe shows at times, with shudder or laugh
Phantom and shadows in Photograph?
Tor still on many a moonless night,
Prom Kingston Head and from Mon tank
' - light •
The spectre kindles and burns in sight.
Now low and dim, now clear and higher,
Leaps up the terrible Ghost of Fire,
Then, slowly sinking, the flames expire.
And the wise SOund'skippers, though Bkies
be fine,
Neef their sails when they see the sign
Of the blazing Ghost of the Palatine!

THE PARIS EXPOSITION AND THE
GREAT EASTERN.
iOorrespondence of the Philadelphia Eve. Bulletin.]
Pams, Friday, Nov. 30,1866.—At the risk
*f being charged with sending coals to New
castle, I must call your attention to the pro
spectus of the Great Eastern Steamship
Company, which has just been issued here,
invtiing subscriptions at the banking pre
mises of Messrs. Blacque Bros., 12 Rue de
Grammont. You have, doubtless, ere this
heard of,the of freighting the great
ship to carry passengers between France
and the United States; and I can
not but suppose that the project
ors of the enterprise will take every
care to make it known to the American
public, upon whose patronage their success
must so wholly depend. Still, French
people are so proverbially behindhand in
all that relates to publicity, and (amidst the
grandest schemes, such as the Isthmus o f
Suez, for instance,) so often forget or omit
to do what is most practical and useful, that
I think it expedient togiveyousome.details
on the subject. The enterprise, too, is alto
gether French, and proves creditably the
advance which the commercial men. of this
country are making in maritime specu
lation. The idea of hiring the
Great Eastern for the year of the Exhibition
asduetothe initiative of M. Jules Despecher,
an enteprising citizen of Nantes, who as
sumed possession of the vessel as far back
as the lOthof the present month, since which
lime some six hundred workmen have been
engaged upon her at Liverpool. The so
ciety, however, was only legally founded,
it statutes signed and the necessary formal!-
Ges accomplished in Paris, three days ago,
*n the pth inst., so that the enterprise is, as
yet, quite a novelty. Its success, of course, is
' of the enormous
inflnxof visitors from America to be ex
-I?the? the 6Surse of next year,
and the total inadequacy of the existing
means of transport to meet the'demand
Thejatter arerpkonedaa adequate* bring
io Europe, dnring the Exhibition, not more

than 20,000 persons. The Grdat Eastern is.
supposed capable of transporting, in seven
trips, some 20,000 more. But our American
guests are freely talked of here, not by tens
or even twenties of thousands, bptbj) hun
dreds of thousandsi not to say" a million!
Of course, vast numbers of them are
here already; but still, it would
seem, that ‘far more will desire
to come at once than are likely to find com
fortable or safe accommodation. To a con
siderable portion then, at least, of these the
advent of the Great Eastern upon the scene
may proves welcome event; though I doubt
whether eventhe “big ship” will bring with
her that “absence of sea sickness, unknown
on board of her,” which is boasted of with
landsmen-like facility by the projectors of
the enterprise in their prospectus. ,The
vessel is to be fitted for the accommodation
of 3,000 passengers, all of. the first class:
but the calculation of the receipts
necessary to make the undertaking
“pay” is based upon the comparatively
moderate supposition that one thousand
persons on each voyage will avail them
selves of her services. Should her first
trips prove safe and pleasant, the above
average may, I should think, be fairly
counted on. The recent performances of
the Great Eastern have already gone a good
way toward obliterating the recolleotion of
her previous misadventures and bad luck
(except, perhaps, in the minds of those who
were unfortunate enough to be on board of
her on the latter occasion); and there is at
least one practical answer which can be
made to those who continue to think ill of
and distrust the Great Eastern as a sea
boat, mid that is, that in spite of -all the in
numerable perils to which She has been ex
posed, she has never been lost yet!
The price of the passage out and home
again is fixed at one thousand francs. The
point of landing will be either Brest or Cher
bourg, as may be hereafter determined
The observations which I recently made on
these two ports will have already given your
readers an idea of their comparative ad
vantages, both as regards risk and distance
It appears that a sum of one million two
hundred and one thousand two hundred and
fifty francs is required to refit the Great
Britain, but of this the English Telegraph
Construction and Maintenance Company
provide five hundred thousand francs. The
house of Forrester <St Co., at Liverpool; has
undertaken the repairs, and is to have the
vessel ready for sea 1 , with new boilers, by
the sth of March." The Great Eastern
will then proceed direct to New
York, and make her first trip
to France early in April. May good luck
attend her and all who come with her to
visit us. The arrivals of the monster and
the discharge of her living cargoes of thou
sands of human beings on our shores, will
certainly not be the least of the wonders
which await us in the year of grace 1867..
Still the same silence of the Jtfonileur on
Mexican affairs, although every one has
long since made up his mind as to what
must happen, if it has not taken place al
ready. The only question which still re
mains in doubt is with respect to the posi
tion in which French Mexican bondholders
will be left. It is generally believed that
their interest will be provided for by an un
derstanding between France, the United
States, and the government which succeeds
Maximilian, and on tfiis supposition Mexi
can securities have advanced sligfitly in the
market.
Mb. Home’s Accession of Fortune.
—Writing from London to the Man
chester Guardian, Mr. Tom Taylorsays:
—‘ ‘Some increduality has been expressed
as to the authenticity of the rumor lately
prevalent regarding the strange acces
sion of fortune to the well-known apostle
of spiritualism in this country, Mr.
Home. But I have reason to think that
the facts of the case are undeniable.
Some months ago the ‘Wise Man of
Manifestations,’ as some folks term him,
‘the Wizard of Table-rapping,’ as the
unbelievers call him, issued a circular
inviting the contributions of the faithful
to found a Spiritualist Lyceum, wherein
the principles of the faith were to be
systematically taught, and where he was
to be the presiding spirit. Amongst
other communications m reply came one
of modest amount from a lady, with
an intimation she would be glad to be
favored with an interview. The inter
view took place, and resulted in a fur
ther donation of £5O. The lady was said
to have explained that she was possessed
of an ample fortune, but that being, as
she conceived, neglected by her relatives
and early friends, she had resolved to
makense of it for the advancement of
some philanthropic object: and that, be
ing impressed with the happiness and
holiness of the religion of table turning
she only desired to be satisfied as to how
she might suitably promote that object.
What thereupon took place I do not pre
tend to recount or explain; bat one of
the results has been the transfer of Con
sols worth £24,000 from the name of the
munificent widow to that of her new
acquaintance, Mr. Home, in trust, it is
to be presumed, for the promotion of the
cause at his discretion.”
The New Orleans Bee advocates a break
ing up of the large plantations ‘ of the State
into small farms for the encouragement of
immigration.
