De had been tliere for tnree veare, uut oe fore that.in New York. we had occupied i djolnfni; eludios in theRembrandt, and be wag nnxioua for newa of many of the craft, We were both on our way to diti- ner, and Klndiy enough decided t ) dine together. Afler we had finlshtddt'PBertnnd were eniojinK our coflee and cigari,Drownell askcd : 'What haa become of Almy ? Tbere never was a more .plendid .prcimen of blonde bcauiy ihon that fellnw.

I nns neither sleeuy nor lomJy, as luni? nfier .nidnieht I eatbefurethecuen tire, holdmg in my bnnd a vnlumeof old Pertian nuutriHns. Amnne thrso was ono whicli I read and re read ; Kor I remember atonplng by the way, To walch a potter thumplns hla vet clay. An 1 wlth Ita all obliterated tongue Itmurmured, "Oenily, brothrr, gently, prayl" I was 80 furcibly siruck by this idea uf the atrange tvolution whereby the Just of thogu wfit harf cranibi- W.ck-U earlh ccnluries ngo mighl now be sery ing daily uses or decorating tbe ehelves of our rnbimt', that. rising, I look from b- lilnil the glus doora that ptoiect sucn reaaurea a emall cup or Mcxlcan potiery which I had been Irreaiatibly imp.lled to purchate a few daya betore. As I held it, n curious thrill ran through me, like the touch of awoman's macnelic hand. and there eeemed to come from it a little fluttenng. I was eo startled that the cup ftll from my hand, and, as it broke into a dozen frncmenlp. I beard whit aounded like the echo of a low moan. For a moment I was incanable of thought or action. Then thete rame over me the conBcions ne8 of a presence; and, rainlng my eyes from the ohattered cup, I saw Ihe love licnt vleion concelvablo'. Tbe form was that of a yourg girl in Ihe flret perfection of womanhnod. Warm rolor stiowed tnrougn ner onve skin; from her head to her little feet ripnled a raasa of dueky nair; ano a new faeclnalion po.seseed me as I met the look from her eolt darK eyes. Her mctureinue drers conslsted or a pale-blue cotton ekirt (deeply bordered wlth the brilliant plumage of tropical birdr) and a sleeveless white oyerdrea. This was rickly embroidered In gold and held in place by a curiously-wrougbt glrdle of tbe eame precloUB metal. Uer aiius, neck, and ankK's were bung with ornaments, ana on ner neaa restea a lit tle golden diadem thickly etudded with precious etonei. Straoee tbouizh I realizsd the incident of this presenco to be, it produced no fear. An indescrlble rtellght nilea me, and tnemory eeemed to be atruggling witli the barrier of a thousand years; for. Uko the climpse of a vaniehed dream, tbe Pretence eeemed dimly fa miliar. Whenever I bave read of spirilual inanifeetation In which I never putany faith, by Ihe way it has always eeemed to me iliticulous that an audlble voice thould be attributed to an intanglble form. ao, in tbe confuaed coneclous ness of a mlnd parlly under the influ ence of another wlll, I found amid the mental chaos of the moment a satisfac tmn that here tbe unlties were to be nre- eerved, as it were. For as the queetlon, ' who and wnai can you oet was formed in my mlod, tne answer wat borne in upon me: "Tbe spirit of an Az leo girl, part of whose mortal clay lies in the fragments at your feet." And durlnz tho bour or more tbat the vislon stayed with me, not a sound was heard in the room but tbe crackling of tbe tire upon tbe hearth and the rattle of wintry winds oulside Ihe wlndow-panes. In tbe nolfeleae voice of a soul speak tne- to a soul. Zuli told me ber atory. And as ecenes were deacribed and inci- dents narraled. tbere was ever witbin me tbat fruitlesi groping of memory to graap somewbere ln tne past, a dimly remembered ezlstence. "Four bundred yeare bave parsed away," sald the voiceless Zuli, "since for one sbort month I wandered wllh my Indian lover through the cool shadows of the cypress groves at noonday, and lloated on the rippling waves of Tezco, wben nlebt above us was aeepest Diue and sll ver sbten of etara.

Shepaused; and aa ber dark eyes locked with tender steadfastness Into tnlne, I felt again the curious thrill that had passed oytr mo wben I toucbed the now broken cup.

Again I met tbe trembling radiance ol her eyes; and far away ia uorae foritotiencentury,on some forgotten ahore, I seemed to stand witb that moonlit lake before me. I heard the plashing fountaios and distant mu elc. and the falnt ecttasy of a passlon dead eeemed to oiingle witb tbe perfume ol tropical llowers for a moment, and then, as if it were a flish from some un rememhered dream, the scene yanlshed away. Zuli continued : "Afler tbat imagine wbat jjy it was to us wben tbe priests proclatraed tnat 1 was to ne naceu e bride ! and I blesped my beauty, which before bad been but little prized by me. "All this tlme my lover was uncon scious of the fate that awaited hlm. Immediate deatb would have been the puniahment of any one who imformed him of it.

And as the priests Lpproached, with one luat uassionate kisa I unclaiiped his arms from about mo nnd declared to them that 1 had revelcd their eacrcd eecret. Stde by side we were lid to the lake. Once more we wero rocked together utinn ita tremblimr breast. und then, leavinc it behind us, we began the as- cent of tbe pyramid.

A rolline countrv. where tbe hills were eometimes crowned with ranple forests, in autumnal splonJor ot coiotb, some time cultivated to and over thelr rldgee, yellow corn-fields glowing wlth vast neaps of orange-colored pumpklns, pas ture land. in which good oattle were feeding leiuiely, brusli lots crimsnn with sumacb -xcent where rlch blue aBters made spots of the earth to looks like spots or the ek-y. But ita beauty had not caused it to be thickly inbablted, bad not even kept the population here,wblch bad once found homes in the valley. For as my horse walked elowly un the hill road we approached ahouae, wbicb ata little di tance off looked pictureaque and pretty, but as we eame nearer wa found to bave only the bsauty of a ruin. It was a deserted fsrin house one nf tbnse houses to which I have so rften refer red ln theae iettera when describmg journeys along New England roads. There is aotnetiinre beauty in ruin. Nature occaaiooally takes bold of the works of men'e hauds and shapes.decnr atea tbem to be very beautiful. This old houae bad been a low atory and a- balf tenement, painted red, Ihe red had faded and been washed Into a score of tints, which only old tapestries and embroideries can match. Wild cherry busbes, growing close around it, were trylng to match tbem, and in trylng made witb their leaves very delicate and verv turnrisim; variations and contraets There was a epot of brilliant color which caugut my eye long oerore l reacnea the house, and when I eame upto it I diecovered that u young maple bad sprung up in the shattered door-Blep, and filled the dnorway with its foliase, moatly of a like color with the houae, only there was a bunch of leaves at the top, all us golden aa gold. I sball not pauae to repeat my often repeated dfBcriplion of a deserted farm bouee in New England. Tbey are all in the most prominent featurea, gener ally resembling each other in many minute details. F.ir the life in them waa very much the same, and the life in the houae gives specido character to the surroundings. Tbe worn Bpot on tbe little piuzza of the kitchen end, or L, is again anu again viaiuie, tne epui. wuere the farmer sat down daily for a little wbile when he took ihe very short- rest wbich tbe farmercan ufford lo give bim self in daylight. The marks on the in side of the window seat are almost al vaB there, made by the broken mugs and teapots and the cans and boxes in which his wife kept ber flowera growiiiB when froit drove them Indi ora for the winter.

Why bo many people uuke tbe mia take of expojiiug to flnd that betler counlry by goingotf on railways? There is nowlifru on earth n better country than this norlhern New England coun try. When we get a reasonable amount of common senae into iegtalaiurea und law-makers, when they got to realizing what a good countiy tnis la, and now good it can always be if they will pre eerve the glory of their forests from the axe, and the purify of their etrcams from tbeaawmill, it will be safe for any one tn- make e. home ln it for tbe time he must epend among tho things that are uncertain, You bave undoubledly noticed the fact that Vermont and New Ilarupshlre are becoming very wide awake to Ibe truths which I bave for eo many yeara written abour, the extensivo abandon ment of farms and thegradual decrease of the beat element in the population. The people aro inquiring into the cauae, with a vtew to tlnd a cure for the dis eate. It is a dlaeasc, and it ia a diseas wbich alTecte tbe community and tbe State by affVctiog individuals. The inroriDtion on that graveatone suggests the explanatlon of the diaeaae. Tboee old people who are never going to travel on ln searcn or new nomea in the far west were contenttd and hapny enough in the red fa m houee, looking ror a better counlry oeyond au seas, au nosiibilities of travel in ihefUab. Ltler generationt were not contented. Life was hard, and tbey tbougnt to nnd a place where it would be easler. They went to a large town, to a city, to tbe west. It ia beyond a doubt that they went to less happlnesa, harder labor, witb smallei reward. Not one ln ten bettered his condition by tbe golng. If you had known the personal hietory of as many country families wbo have moved away from the old places as I have known, you would understand why I am so ready to atUrm that the great body of New England emigrants wbo have gone away from these farms bave done worse than tbey would have done bad tbey remalned tn tne old nomea. Is it probable that tha effotts now made to turn the tide ot etnigration and lead it into instead of out of New Hamp- shire and Vermont will eucceed ? Why not ? The land is fruitful and beautiful, The climate is wbolesomo aud enjiyable. What ia there to keep peop'o awuy t iNotning, excepi tnat vague idea, which is universally deceptive, that tbe better country. here one may grow rich witb eaae, may live well witb out much labor, llea far off nt the end of a railwuy or a ateamer journey, There are some cbaracterlstlca oi American families in which they differ greatly from people of other countries. One of tbese is in their idea. ot what form the necesaariea ot comfortable life. That which goei to tho dally suppirt of a humble famliy in Amerlca would aup- port ln luxury ten faminea in tne same aocial poaltion In old oouutries. Tbere are a bundred consideratlons wbich an American has in selecting a home wbich no Euronean would ston to think of. J do not flnd fault with these, but they are to be regarded In aeeklng tbe caujes or depopulation of portions of country. Contentment wllh a moderate enough ia not nn American cbaracterlBtio. It ceases in a few years to characterize Europeans who come over here to eettle. The "enough" includes too many things wbich are not neceasitiea. Look at a practlcal illustration : Thpre are great numbers of American families wbu aie in what are called reduced circumstan ces. Men, women, rometlmes husbands and wives, have but small incomes. They have a bard time to get food and clolh lng in tbe poaitlon and with the sur roundlngs to which they have been ac customed. They suffer, tbeir lives are full of struggliog anxiety, nains, too often debts. They are untltted tor work, and work, it they were able to do it Is not easy to get. Thousands of theae per Bons cling to life in the clty, where rents are hlgb. where food lscosily, where tbe requirementa of dreas seem to demand much expense. Now at the same time you have the broad country, eapecially New Hampshire and Vermont, witb these facts : The average expenie ot liv Ing of a family is not (500 a year. And this furnishea betler and more abundant food, better and moro clotblng, better evervthing that men and women need, than can be found any where elae in tbe world. You can bire a house fora bun dred dollars a year in Ibe counlry whicb is more roomv and comfortable iban any house you can hlre tor a thousand dollars any where witliln many mllea of llad Ison Square, You can get belttr board the year rnund In couDtry places at (2, t and 5 a week than you can get in a city for f ia, fior f io. But it you suEKi'st to the persons strug gting on small Incomes in cny life tbat they go to the far-in country villaget of New England to live and be happy, tbey ebrlnk witb apprehensions they cannot deflno from wbat seems mlaerable exile. I am not the one to mako light of tboee dceirc?, 'attca, h'blts of llfc which form 1880. the cnmforls and ahapo the pleaaurcs of all of us. No one c in be happy for auy one elso. But if the people wbo cling to life in citiea and expensive towns could be pereuaded to coneider with common aenae the queetion whether after all life in the country, wlth ita abundant enjoy menti and employtnents, and its small expense, is not tbo life they ought to adopt, it ia probable that we ehould ece a beginninz of the reoeopling of aban- doned farros, and a new growth of a vul- uable population. A new generatton might grow upto love home well enough to live and die in it. It is not at all prcbable tbat tbe New England States willrerall to tbeir hoinea the same people, or call to them tbe same klnd of people, wbo bave left them, A new age has begun for all the eaetern country. Wealth bas increased in citits. Ibe custom of bavinir a country as well as a city home is largely nn theincreaae. Uelore many years all parts or tbe coun try which are l.eulthy and attractive will draw purchaaers of lund fnr country homes. Where n few wlll srek auch homes in fesbionuble localilies for so'.l - ety pleaeures, hundreda wlll seek tjiem in more ecuDom'cal andquiet as cnjoyH- bie places. More and more famniea w u go inlo tbe country for the wlmle jear More and more m-n will relire from ac tive buainens nn small fortunea, insteud ot remaining it in to increase them, with tne nundred to one chances or comiogio grief and loslng all. People of moderate meane, and people of wealth too, will learn how mucb nobler is a race ot children brought up in the country than a race brought up in the clty. And, tn bring tbla to a cIobp, the man who can count on an income of $800 a year while he has a family to aupport a"tl care for, will bo wiae enough to go where he can buy a bundred acres ot land for ten or twenty dollars an acre, and live like a prince, on his own estate, from its nro duce, with un outside income of six" or seven hundred. But even there he must work. The better country than the city is beyond doubt the free land ot fields and forests. But work and wearineas we muat bave forever on tbis sotl of earlb, nor will there be work withoul weannesa any where unlil he ahall reach the better country fnr away, which tbe inhabitanta ot tbe old red farm houae de sired and I hore found."

Weathersfield is one of the waklng towns of this Stale. Already it bas voted to exempt any manufucturing t-n-terpriee from taxalion tor live years.

Two soapstone ledges are being worked, but not to thelr full capaclty, The etone is among the best in the world for mak ing stovea, wash-tubs and sinks. Tbe town needs capitai. it it couia be oo tiined a veritable boam would take place. Some excitement has been caused at Windsor by tbe diacovery of a fine grained green granite at tbe base of the Ascutney mountain. Gray, pink.green. all three coiors of granite are found in tbla mountain, wtiicn is iJ.ittU teet nign, and conicoaed of eolid gramto and gneiss lt such a deposit extsted near Fort Payne, Ala., an excitement would be caused wbich would culminate a stock company witb eufficient capitai to work tbe property to good advantage. But Ascutney is in Vermont, andislikely to atay tbere. In this it differes from the capitai which leaves al the earlieat opportunitv, Tbese Weaterncre and Southerners are provlng themaelves much wiaer in their day aud generation than we are ot Naw England. Wbile New Englandra are putttng fortb every tffori to build up the waete places in ibeae States, snd lo bring bnck to New England thoae who have wandered away from her green hilla, the wily Weateruer or the sbrewd S lutherner comes ln and offeres tbe New England editor a ride and away be goes.

Theeo artlcleaare carefully written and treat the subject in hand exbaustively. Very hum drum and ordinary of necessity are tbe artl cles written by the same pen on Ver mont, for the tine dlnners and euppere, the receptione and the beautiful rides tbrough the country in Pullman cars cannot be worked in, As we said at the begtnning lheae Westerners and South erners are wily fellows and are out wit ting the New Englandora every time. The owners of tbe marl bed two miles south of Williamstown have commenced to build a double lime kiln.and will burn enough lime to test the yalue of their purchase. Samples of mortar made 40 years ago from lime burned thero are as bard as a rock, and ring wben struck with any metallc subetance. Tbe ownera of tbe bed are wealthy, and tbis induitry promises to be a valuable one for tbe town, The marl Is found in what was known as Lime Pond, and is about 1000 feet above aea-leve 1. Some time in tbe thlrties, Jnsiah White, a mill owner, npened a trencb In the bar rier of the pond tn increase his mill prlv ilege. and by ao dolng cnued the waters of the pond to tun away. In the greater part of tbe bed Is found a fine-grained psste, consisting malnly of comminuted fragments of ehella that have been ac cumulatlng there for ngca.

Every fair-mlnded woman mnst ad- mlt tbe iustice of the chanre made againat ber sex, in tbo Sunday School Tima, to tbe effect that 'the average woman is not so courteous as the average man." One rcaaon given for this is becanse men are trained from boybond to pay defer cnce to woman, who thus become accus tomed to rccelving constant attentlon, and a habit of overlooklng tbe rigbti of otners is aevoioped. une count tn the gencral indictmont, however, is too se vere. So fnr as our own ob'erration goes, women rarely fail to express thanks when a seat i3 proffered tbem ln a publio conveyanco. Tho nrticle closes as follows : If tw n men. walkinir abreast on astrcet crossinsr, meet a man walking in tho op poslte direction, on of tbem wiUinstlno tivelv droo behind thn nthnr In nrder tn allo w the third to paas them on the cross- ing. ii two women De waiKing thus, ihey will move right along together when tbey meet a man, even thnngh he must step off tbe crossing into the mud on eithersldeofit, because of theirwalk ing abreast. There are exceptions to this rule ; but this is the rule. Men walking together on a sidowalk gener ally havo it in mind tn irive a fair ahftm oftho walktopsssers.'ofeither sex, in tne opposite uirection. Vomen are not UEeiy to be so tnougbtrul on tbis point. In a crowded market-bouse, or other business establishment, many a woman will push ln before a customer at a coun ter or a stall, and make known her wnnts as pressing. wbetbcr the customer whose rights have preccdence of hers is a man or woman wben a man would have no thought of crowding himself forward. antl ano her out. in that way. The woman's habit of having the first place inlluences her, as the man s habit of conceding it inlluences hlm. Any street-car conduetor, in any city, would testify that women are less prorcpt and considerate in seeing to it that room is made for as many sittersas can bo accommodated in the car than men are ; that is, tbat women are not so ready to aid in providing seats for men. And that same conduetor will tell you that he has far less troubled wlth a car full of men than with a car full of wom en, at a time when all tho cars' are crowded. In auy scramble for seats ln a publio car, a courteous man is bound to give precedenco to a woman. But when a man ha paid for, and is occupylng, a seat In n car whether it beaparlorcar, an ordinary passenger car, or a street car he is not bound to vacate that seat in favor of a woman who aiterwards cntcrs the car. The duty of providing a seat for other passengers rests on tne railroad company rather than on the passengers whohavo already taken seats. As a matter of spccial courtesy, howev er, many a man is always ready to riso and proffer his seat to any woman who may cnter a car where tho seats are all occupied. A woman who accepts such a courtesy has a duty t'o acknowledge it as a courtesy, and to return her thanks lor it Yet, as a matter of fact, many a woman never thinks of sayinga wordof thanks in recognition of such a courtesy as this. If a man were to be given a seat by a younger man, it would be a rare hing if he did not give hearty thanks for it. If u woman nttcmpts to get on or off a crowdi-d strci't c.ir n tiiiin standing on h. i lii'ioiin ol'the ear is quite lik ly to . p off .iinl !t:trul iu the street some-tiitu-s iu Mia raln in order to make room for L . For this itct of courtesy, ns for every other, specifio thanks rre due from the woman to the man. Yet such things are larely eiven by a wo man, although it would be a strango thing if a man were to fail of thanking another man who ehowed this courtesy to' ard him. Similar illustrations of this truth might be multiplied. But enough has been said to call the attcntion ofpar ents to tho duty ol training their daugh ters, as daughtcrs, to courtesy j for tne hopo of tbe correction of such an evil is in the bringing up of a new generation in a better way than that of the present ono. Girls ought to be trained o cour tesy in every dircrtion ; to be watchful ly considerate of one another, and defer ential toward tbeir seniors ; to be prorupt to riso and give their seats, when occasion calls for it, to women or to elderly or infirm men ; and to be ex plicit in their thanks for every courtesy of any sort which is proffered to them by any person whatsoover. There aro girls wbo aro thus trained, and whogivo evidenco of it continually. When such training i3 niurc gcneral, there will be less reason than now for complalningof any lack of courtesy among women. NEW S AND NOTE8.
