The fleet of yachts lay at anchor off Newport, swinging idly to and fro in the gentle wind. It was a peaceful, lazy way of tnking life, appealing to the higher senses iu all externals, and promoting placid thought. Nothing to worry, no social or business cares, it was an Arcadia rcplcto with all modern con-1 . Bired. So Tom Armstrong thought to|" himself, as he lay nt full length in a canvas chair and smoked after his din-; ner. The 6un was setting far beyond the land in a blaze of golden glory, and' every yacht reflected some color of tho sunset. Yachts on every side of him lay rolling in a passing swell, and his own yacht rocked gently from side to side. A little while after the sun sank from sight tho moon came up over the oceAn, and lights began to dot tho shadowy fleet. There was a new activity among the people about, aud presently a quartet on one of tho yaehts began to sing. Then row boats put off from each of tho yachts, and before long a line of boats encircled tho yacht where the singers were stationed. Tho party was a college gleo club, and tho young men, appreciating the applause which came' .from the audience, went on one song, fiftek another, while the half circle of row' boaiti tossed iu tho water. Tom Armstroug.wuis among the assemblage of row boats, he and his guest having rowed out from thh yacht, and tho effect was one that appealed directly to him. His oars rested on the guuwale, and ho paid no heed to the fact that Iris boat was slowly drifting toward its neighbor. '.'Hullo, there'" said some one, suddenly," almost in his ear. .Tom started, and saw that ho was hcriAncr (lnwn imoti tlin lwinf ? "' olr??^o? ? -I? ?? touching it. He put forth his hand to catch the stranger boat and prevent them colliding, but as he did so his fingers touched another baud that was outstretched. It was only a second beforo both hands were withdrawn, but in that time Armstrong's boat had gently bumped against the other. i ' .'4,I beg your pardon!" he said, raising liis cap hurriedly and reaching for the oars. 44It was very catcless In me." lie looked toward the occupants of the boat as he spoke, and quick as a flash the thought darted through his mind that his carelessness was a blessing, for looking at him was the prettiest girl imaginable. It wns her hand that he had touched and drawn awny from so quickly. It was not more than a glance that he gave, but he could have picked her out again in any throng. He rowed away very slowly, and stopped as soon as be could. He could just see the form and outline of the other boat, and could count the occupants. There were two ladies and two men, and Tom wondered who in the world they were and what relation they were to the girl; he seemed to be wonderfully interested in her, considering the time he bad seen her. The songs had been going on all the time, but Tom had paid little attention to them. The college boys had about exhausted their stock of new songs and chanced upon some of the old favorites. When they sang 44 Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party" the occupants of the surrounding boats took up the chorus, and Tom was certain that he could distinguish tho voice of the pretty girl when they sang 4>And 'twas from Aunt Dinah's quilting l>arty 1 was seeing Nelly homo." With this idoa (for it was all imagination on his part, no doubt) he called loudly for an encore, and sat still, trying again to distinguish her voice in the ltri it-!- _ 1 ovumi ui uinuir. >v lien mis was none the singers were evidently getting tired, for they started "Good-night, Ladies," mid the people, acting upon the gentle hint, began to move off in all directions, looking, in the pale moonlight, like a lot of gigantic water spiders. At least that was what Tom's guest and friend, Will Townes, suggested; but Tom sneered nt tho idea, and seemed to get really angry over it. He lost sight of tfja jpfcrtfijulhr boat that the girl was fn, so lie Went directly to his yacht Asquam, bemtvtnlrtb \hi?' hard fate that he had been tumble to fipd out which her yacht waki so 'that he might And an opportunity xo meet nor. . if- .< Tom went on deck very early the next morning, and he was no sooner there than a voice hailed him. "Ahoy, Asquam!" It was from the yacht Phyllis that had come to anchor a few lengths from him the night before. "Hullo!" he answered. The gentleman who stood on the other boat put up his hands to his mouth, aod i . **. called, slowly: 'Don't you want to go \ outside to-day and have a little brusht There's a beautiful breeze." ^ Tom hesitated a inomont, and looked at the sky. He wanted very much to j find the girl that had taken his fancy the night before, but as he looked around at the fifty or sixty yachts he realized ^ the hopelessness of his task. 'AH right," ho replied; I'll go. j When shall we start?" ( 'Right away, if you are willing,"shouted the other. "By-the-way, you ] don't appear to recognize me. My name , is Quincy." , 'Why, oh yes! It's such atimeeince , I saw you I had forgotten it for tho naot \ ment," answered Tom, as he recognise^ , a friend of his elder brother. "How arf) ! you?" , "Fine!" called back tho other. "Thit is rather a distant greeting, but we'll seq , more of you, I hope. By-thc-way, Arm- j strong," ho added, as a second flgurq T came up from behind him, "let mo in- r tro<lucc my niece, Miss Quincy, Mr, t Armstrong." Ami Tom was face to face J with the girl whom he had seen in tho B boat on tho previous evening. "Tho yacht's namod after her." t Tom. bowed low, Tor a minuted he could not reply, and then ho made some com- s mon place remark, wondering if tho girl ' remomborcd him. c That all happened in July; and through the summer wherever tho Phyllis went, 1 there was the Asquam to be found also. 1 Whenovcr Miss Quincy needed an escort, Tom Armstrong was011 band; and when- c ever the young man indulged in any of his day-dreams, there was Miss Quincy to be found. Her uncle, who was older than Tom, was very glad to havo pleas uui cumpuuy ior mc gin, ana sne tuci not i seem to object particularly. Id fact, sho was not nn impulsive girl, and gave no e signs when her dislike was not deep, neither showed she nny deep interest when she wished to hide her feelings. Tom, as it might bo imagined, grew more and more dovotcd day by day. Ho was very ephemeral in his tastes, but he 1 was free to confess that ho was more ( deeply interested with Phyllis Quincy than he had ever been before in any 1 other girl. He, of course, regarded her i through glosses of rose, but an outside observer would have acknowledged her ^ to be a girl of much sweetness and ( strength of character; and she was beautiful as well. Not above medium height, ? with brown hair, nnd dark eyes of wondrous depth, it wa9 no wonder that the } young man was so deeply smitten. As for Tom Armstrong, ho was ono or those fortunato individuals who are blessed with a great talent in art nnd music, and yet so well off in worldly goods that he did no more than gain n mediocre success ' in the various lines?a mere dabbler, in 1 truth. But yachting seasons have an end, ' and when the two yachts sailed into New York Bay, and the parties went their < different ways, there was much regret on J both sides. They had lots of mutual frieuds, however, iu the city, nnd ] they met at outside cutcrtainments < so frequently that it seemed strango ? they had never met before in their lives, though it must be confessed that j their meetings were not altogether 1 chanco. Miss Phyllis lived with licr i uncle, and Tom was soon at homo there. ( Months passed by, but brought no deft- ^ nite results, for Tom, who could not bo < tcrmod faint-hearted, was not sure of winning his suit, however sure ho was of i himself, and he dared not risk his hopes ] by a premature confession. They were , seen together in society a great deal, and | sbarped-tongued gossip had them en- j gaged, but Tom had to visit his family , in Boston during the Christmas holidays, and society kindly broke tho engagement during his absence. "Has It been ten weeks or ten days since I went away?" asked Tom, upon his return shortly after New Year's. "It depends altogether how you rock&n time," she had answered, quickly. Phyllis had been glad, indeed, to see him again, but ho could gather no idea of her feelings toward him, and he was terribly slow about proposing, so con- ' trary to his usual reckless way of going 1 at things. It was an evening in March. Tho 1 great logs blazed in tho open fire-place 1 and filled the room where Tom sat with J a rosy gleam. Ho was in his library at * home, and ho watched the great black flhAHfltOB fVtof VACn on/1 fnll n?t ?V?? ?? ? ?WW ,vsv OU? IVill nzj tuu II11 Hi flams shot suddenly to life vid as quickly died. That evening ho was more thau ever conscious of that love which had entered into his life, something higher and purer than he had ever dreamed beforo. Imagination had never pictured such a perfect state, and yet it was so imperfect in its semblance to a dream.. He searched his heart honestly and tried to banish the dream, striving all the while to retain the ideal. It seemed as though two forces of his nature were alert as he reviewed the past. He had no assurance that she loved him, and yet that evening had waked a feeling of reality in him, and he felt as though he had received her whispered "yes." One of the great logs in the fireplaco fell asunder, sending forth a pull of smoke, which floated out into the room, and as he gazed at it ho suddenly started. The red glow of the fire lit up the room with strange effect as it spread wider and wider until it formed a thin veil, and pictured through it he saw a wonderful sight. He saw a musi c-room, one that he recognized,and seated before the piano lightly runniug her linger over the keys was Phyllis. Stopping, she looked in his direction, and her bcauti- , ful eyes wore filled with sadness, and I the quiver of her mouth told of deep ; reeling. He felt her eyes look into hi* for a moment, and then turning to tho piano sho began softly to (ring. He listened attentively, and as sho touched tho keys the music sounded softly through J the room, and be caught the words she . sang. The melody was new and strange, | but full of a gentleness and sweetness, I while the words sounded as though ' heard in a dream?the tender words which Mrs. Browning wrote: " Unless you can think, when the song is done, None other is sweet in the rhythm; Unless yon can test, sImm left by one, That all men else go with him; Unless yop can know, when upraised by his breath, That your beauty itself wants proving; , Unless you pan swear?'For life, for ! death' Oh, fear to call it loving P' For life?for death 1 there was something so sweet in tho deep minor strain in which they suug. There was no printed page bofore her, and she saag with her eyes halt closed, while the accompaniment was an inspiration. "Unless you can muse in a crowd all day On the absent face that fixed you; Unless you can love as the angola may. With the breath of heaven betwixt you; Jul mi faith Is fast, Jill ess you can dlt^Hbt dream to past? Oh, never call it ( The picture sloWxifaded, and Tom f tawed,his head. jS^Jid not think of it as a delusion, it Was real to him. c Suddenly starting u|i he lit the gas, rod drawing outabox o/colors, sketched j iwlftly on a paper before him. It was [he picture that bit bad seen. Dim, un- a defined, he drew1 |he background, the f piano, and with a flnr steady strokes he c barely outlined thejfweet face so dear to lim.

' le placed the picture in her hands j yithouta word, and going over to tho j >iano, ran oyer tho music that he had tcard accompanying tho song. When 1 10 turned tho girl was standing gazing ; it the picture in wonder. "PhylliB," ho said, at her side, "is it ;rue?" Sho turned to him with a wondorfullj i wcet smile. "Too," she hesitated^ 'how?how did you find it out? Hv.r * :ould you liavo heard it?" ' "Ah," answered he, laughing, "sorati j ihvo Baid that 'love is blind,' but love c ms second-sight, my Phyllis."

Tho Iroquois and Hurons believed in a country for the souls of the dead, which they called tho "country of ancestors." This country lies to the west, from which direction their traditions told them they had migrated. Spirits must go there after death by a very long and painful journey; climb many mountains and cross many rivers; and, just as the longsought haven appears in the distance, the spirit must cross a long, narrow bridge and fight with a monster dog which stands guard at the west end. Weak souls are not equal to this task, and mauy of them are pushed over the narrow odges of the bridge into the rushing waters be|o#^o be swept through dark canyons /wad over immense preci- pices for ever. This road, aooording to the ideas of the two tribes mentioned above, is all on earth; but several of the Indian tribes consider the light band across the heavens which the astronomers call the "Milky Way" to be the nath of the soul. The main body of the stars in this milky path they suppose to be human souls on their journey to heaven; the smaller one to be the souls of dogs and other pet animals which are accom jroujiijg iuuii lutuicii iu iua iRua OI bliss. It is curious and interesting to note that the British Columbian tribe of the Shanakons have a soul belief which is an almost exact counterpart of that cherished by the old Israelites. They believe that every being has its doable or shadow, a thin, pale figure, seldom or never seen by mortal eyes, which after death descends to an abode beneath the earth and there leads a sad and gloomy existence. The Israelites called this ulaco Shooli*he Bhs'nakons know it as "Eotea." r- ^' rUftlli Home Arizona and old Mexican tribes bclievo that the spirit is carried to the moon by a coal-black, monkey-faced owl > that upon arriving there it is met by its thousands of ancestors, who oome within-long train of white donkeys; that the s)*(rit is then escorted to a large cavern in Ihsicentrs of the moon, where joy reigns supWmi^afU&t.
