WHERE THE SOUL?
Where is the soul? Go ask the sculptured stone That rises proudly o'er the silent tomb Qoaak the marble why it stands alone.
Unfailing witness oI man'sdoom.
Go ask the mourner in affliction's glow. While tho warm tear Is glistening Id her eye uo ask the grave, the slumbering dust below.
And echo to thy words shall still reply, Where Is the soul? Where is the soul? Not in the graved embrace,
Amid contagion's pestilential breath Go ask the worm in that dark, dismal place. If spirits lingur In those halls of death Go ask the clay where man's proud soul hath fled
Ask of the waving grass and clumsy sod Qo ask the coffin that contains the dead, A&d they shall answer that the soul's abode
Is with its God.
THE SUMMER PARTY.
We used to go to Mrs. Goodfellow's every summer when I was a child. That is how 1 happened to bo there when the summer party came up.
You may know or you may not know that school teachers are tfce wildest of all summer boarders.
You'd think them sage maiden huties in blue spectacles and brown veils, wouldn't you I Indeed, they are not.
This summer party came from New York, and they all taught school. Mrs. Goodfellow was enough in herself for propriety, but there were plenty of other folk there, especially an Ebglish lady—who thought it all "shocking."
Mrs. Goodfellow said that, according to American ideas, it was ali right. "I feel as if they were all my children," said she. "My own are all married and away, and it 'most broke my heart to liev 'em go," she said. "And heving young folks makes it seem like old times. I liko to see 'em kiting round and playing ball with a fish net—good exercise, poor dears—and I dunno as I don't lflte 'em best of all my boarders, they've got such nice appetites fer gingerbread and apple sarse, and milk and sweetmeats, and it's fun to see 'em sneak away to court, like my Liddy Jane and Ann Eliza used to. I hope I'll never get to feelin' as if I didn't 6ympethize with young folks, and want to *ee 'em serious and hato to hear 'em laugh, and not want 'em to sing and play onto the melodeon, and carry on. Seems to me I shill hope it's my time to go when it comes to that."
No wouder Mrs. Goodfellow, who acted up to her principles, was a general favorite. No wonder that when those young people asked each other, "Where shall we go?" the unanimous answer was, "To Mrs. Goodfellow's."
There they all were—Eveline Brown and Fannie Green, Kate Grey and Rose White, Alice Black and Gladys Jauue—not an agly girl among them. And there was Tom Hope and Dick Breeze and Harry Ashe and Rob Bunting and Will Roth and Charlie Garden, aud it was a jolly party, as one might expect, when every one of those youug men had vowed to offer his hand, heart and—no— I can't say fortune—his hand, heart and salary to one of those young ladies before vacation was over.
Tom Hope, who was a bright eyed, black haired, jolly young fellow, who had no idea of waiting for what he wanted, contrived to get Evelfee Browu into a forward car—they had all vowed to sit together—and ho should have been ashamed of himself, but he was not, and proposed going down.
Thero was no one to hear him except an old German, whom he felt sure could not understand English, so ho told her that he loved her, and that he thought it would be twice as jolly if they could begin that vacation as engaged folk, and he said there was no girl on earth as pretty as she was or as good, aud when »he said it was "sudden," hesaid, "Life is short."
Then he asked her if he might put th^ring he wore on his little finger on her first finger, and began to take off her glpvo, and when he had pulled it entirely off he put the ring on and kissed it, because it was, as he declared, necessary to that in order that it might stay on. Then he said: "Oh, Evviei" and she said, "Oh, Tom I"
And on that the old German who "could not speak English" held out his hand and said: "Shake! I gingratulates you, young peoples. Dot vos right. Dot vos vot I did myself. Ven you vos young dot vos do goot times, and I hope you get bo many blessings as I got myself. Dot over dere vos mine wife and/my nine children, and I dink dot vos goot for a man in sixteen years—nine boys unt girls."
Aud after all he meant so well that, though Ewie blushed, she could not feel angry. That is how Tom did it. As for Dick Breeze, he waited until they had had tea, and then took Fannie Green out rowing. "Tom and Ewie aro engaged," said lie. "It looks like it," said Fannie. "Let us be," said Dick. "You ought to ask ma and pa first," said Fannie. "Never heard of such a thing I" said Dick. "A pretty mess I'd be in if they accepted me and you did not!" "Perhaps they might forbid It," said Fannie. "S'poso I'd care if they did if you said yesf" said Young America. "Well, ma and pa do generally do as I tell them," said Fannie.
And that was the way he did it Harry Ashe and Kate Grey lost their way In tho woods, aud were found very hungry but happy.
She told us that since they thought they might be going to starve together they felt they could bear it if they were engaged.
When the mad bull chased Rose White aud Rob Bunting saved her, calling tho bull's attention to himself by waving a red handkerchief, and really was a good deal hurt, that affair was settled and Will Roth wrote a letter and carried it to tho postofflce, and it wns threo days coming, and Alice Black's answer wns a whole week getting to him. Still when it did come it was an acceptance, and everything would have been perfect for everybody at last if it had not boon fur Gladys Jauno.

Gladys was a flirt, aud we all said that the way she behaved to Charlie Garden was simply shameful.
She told me one day that she felt that in getting up this summer party tho boys had laid a trap for us, and that she, for one, would not fall into it. She would not return home engaged. She was not sure, she said, that she liked Charlie enough—at all events, she wanted her freedom—aud she got me to be with her all tho time.
I was only 14, but I felt for Charlie Gardon. Indeed I ilid, though bn once said—I beard him: "What do you see in that gawky little Barbara Prothero that you should always be going about arm in arm, or sitting somewhere embracing each other? I'm sure the child had rather be playing tag somewhere."
Oh, well, I had my time afterward bur that isn't in my story. I was in the way of hearing all tho girls of tho summer party said, for a good many of us had beds in the big garret, and they all declared it was a shame. Charles Garden was more in love than any one ever was before, aud something ought to be done.
One afternoon—it bad got pretty near school time again—I came out of the woods
with Gladys Jaune. She was laughing to think she had slipped away from Charlie, and left him to go to Lookofif hill by himself or to make an uncomfortable party of three for some of them, and suddenly we came upon the whole number sitting together In a row in the meadow, near the old well.
It was a great stone well, with a chain, and it was not used. There was a better one near the house—at least one with all the moddern arrangements.
There they all sat as solemn as owls. Gladys stood still and began to laugh. I laughed, too. "What's the matter?" she asked. "You'd better not ask, Gladys," said Rose White. "No, she'd better not," said the chorus. Then they groaned together. "You will have to know at last, Ml** Jaune," said Harry Ashe. "So we might as well tell you at once. Charlie Garden Is down the we!!." "That's not particularly bad news for me," said Gladys, not believing them.' "It's worse for him. He'll got wet." "It's true, Gladys," said Fannie Green.
And they all called out: "It is true." "It was because you left him in that way, I think," said Tom Hope. "Indeed, Miss Jaune, he caught hold of the b«4fclfcchaiu and went down." "Why, there Is the bucket on the grass," said she. "Yes," said Dick Breeze. "1 thought he had been down a good while and drew it up It's empty."
Gladys looked from one to the other "This is very amusing to you, no doubt," said she. "I want the truth." "He's down there, I assure you, Mian Jaune," said Will Roth. "What have you done? Why don't you help him out?" asked Gladys. "Mrs. Goodfellow has sent over to the Perkins' place to see if they are done with her ladder," said Will. "And when it comes" "When it comes," cried Gladys—"ohl" She ran to the well and bent over. "Mr. Garden." she called, "Mr. Garden!" "Doesn't he answer?" cried Rose. "Charlie, speak, Charlie—ohl Charlie 1"v gasps Gladys. "He is drowned or insensible." "May be he doesn't hear It's a very deep well," said Dick. "If he could go down on the bucket you other men can," said Gladys. "Why don't you—you, Charlie Roth—one of you? Ohl are yon men, to sit here like that?" "We won't let them go," cried the girls, each clinging to the arm of her sweetheart. Meanwhile Gladys danced about in an ecstasy of terror. "You are all cowards," she cried at last, adjusting the great bucket. "I atn going down myself." And actually she went. The ,chain creaked slowly. We all crept forward and crouched close beside tho well brink. "Charlie," she was calling, "Charliel" Then she gave a squeal.
When she got down some distance—awfully afraid of the water, but not yet coming to any—some one caught her by the hand. "What is that?" said she. "It is I," said a faint voice. "O, Charliel" she gasped. "You are not drowned? Are you hurt?" "Not too much to help you," said he. "Step out of the bucket. It is safe hero—a sort of.-, ledge. Don't stir. Let me hold you. Why did not some ofe the men come down for me? How did you happen to come'" "I—I was not cowardly enough to let you die without help," said Gladys. "There goes the bucket." "Yes," said Charlie, "I should have held it. Don't stir. The well is very deep, and I believe the water rises at sunset." "How horrible," said Gladys. "I don't think you will be left here," said Charlie. "Tho ladder will come down in tune for you." "Why not for both of us?" asked Gladys. "Too late for me," said Charlie. "But I: don't care. I had as soon die. You don't care for me. You wero noble. You came to save me, but you never woulc' have married me!" "O, Charlie," said Gladys, "how can you know? Perhaps I would "Say it again, Ofladys," sighed Charlie. "I am going." "Don't go, Charlie!" said Gladys. "Live forme!"
She was crying bitterly. "If I could live would you marry me?" sighed Charlie. "Let me rest my head on your arm. There, kiss me."
She did it. "I may have ouly a few moments to live," said Charlie, "but will you not lot mo feel that we are engaged for that brief time?" "Oh, yes, yes! I always liked you, Charlie I only meant to teaso you," said Gladys. "Oh, where are you hurt? What can I do? Yes, I am yours. Oh, Charlie, where is the pnin?" "In my heart," said Charlie. "Kiss me."
She kissed him. a a it be he a id A re we really engaged, Gladys? I have taken that ring from my watch chain, Gladys—my mother's, you know. Will you wear it?" "Yes," said Gladys. She was sobbing as b'ue s'-nped it upon her finger. "Don't die, Charlie," said she, "I will never tease you again I will never pretend I do not love you 1 It was all pretense. Live, Charlie, for my sake!" "All right, Gladys," said Charlie, and on the instant he jumped to his feet, embraced her twice, and kissed her twenty times. "This well is only ten feet deep, and has been dry fifteen years," said he. "Boys, let down the ladder she has accepted me!"
They had all been sitting^on the ladder to hide it, and now the brim of the well was filled with laughing faces, and shouts of laughter came down with the ladder. "Did you suppose," said Fannie Greeu, ns she held out her arms to Gladys, when she had jumped from the well brink to themeadow grass, "that you were to be the only one to go home without being engaged? And is it not nice, after all?"
Well, Gladys forgave them, and, on the whole, 1 think they have made the happiest married pair of all that summer party—I do indeed.—Mary Kyle Dallas in thu Fireside Companion.
