SHRIFT OF THE RAFT. The terrible storm which ravaged the coast of Norway on the 12th of October, 1717, was remembered in that country iong after the hand of time and the induatry of man had ob- literated the marks of its fury. As sudden as it was tremendous, it arose after soveral weeks of settled weather, and having wrought more bayoe in a few hours than ordinary tempests effect in days, it sabsided with corresponding rapidity, leaving upon the minds of the peas- 0 witnessed its terrors a singular im- pression with regard to its origin. For years, the herdsmen of that rugged land, and the sailors of that dangerous sea, believed that the dreadful storm, which had swept away sheep and ehepherd amid the ruin of house and fold, and had dashed the largest craft upon the rocks that received the ehattercd fishing boots, was caused by a sudden exer- tion among the demona of the Pole, who, for- biddeu by the mandate of Heaven to enter earth while it shall move in its appointed or- bit, are perpetually laboring to disturb its charmed circle, that they may rush in to lavoc by land and by eea Strange tales are told of the events of that fatal doy, and of the night which ensued; and the following legend, relating to one of the voysgers who suffered in the storm, bears some evidence of the feeling with which the Norwegians regarded so terrible a visitation— a feoling with which is mingled some vague reccliection of the time when Norway itself was one of the most unfortunate of the stakes inthe game played by the great continental powers. The tempest was rapidly subsiding as dusk drew on, but the cessation of the violent tur- moil brought no comfort to the ecanty crew of tho ill fated ship Drontheim, which had sailed from the port of that name on the preceding day, and inet the wrath of the storm in full career. She had been bound for France; but at the time we speak of, she was a naked and helpless bull, drifting whither the caprice of the wind, which seemed to blow from all joints of the compass at once, choose to hurry er. She was now making her rapid but in- voluntary course northwards; but to the few human beings who yet clung to her decks, the state of her shattered sides, through which the water was forcing its way at twenty wounds, left it a matter ot hideous con-ern where they mig't meet the certain fate which awaited | “ty did not desert himeveninthatheur ranheee hag aed MA inetped them.

Her emalier boats had long since been osrried away by a burst of the storin, which, hurling three or four monster waves across her deck, had swept every moveablo thing from her surface, in- cluding more than one-third Of the wretched crew In the next moment, one of terrified maduess, the survivors had crowded the boat, which hardly touched the foaming billows ero it was swamped, and went €own with every soul it bere Not adozen men remained on the fated vessel, when the sudden and horri ble chenge in motion which announced the foundering of a ship, took place. She ceased to make way—the violent agitation which had for hours rendered it nearly impossible to stand upon her deck was exchanged for a sudden lurch, followed by asecond and third; and then tho hideous roar of the waters rushing in on every hand, told the frantic crew that all hope was over. Amid the loud and agitated Prayers of a few, aud the blasphemous ravings of the rest, the waves of the Northern Sea closed over the Drontheim for ever.
