Living in a villnge in the province of Kwangtnng wore two brothers. “ Broth er,” said the younger, one day, "you are 40 years of nge; why don’t you mnrry ?

They arc greatly petted, and do not quarrel and cry so much as children our own country, and are always good-natured, contented and happy.

Iu our told to each silent wnteher a widely- difforent tale. Tho young man with glowing eyes be hold beneath him all his hopes nnd de sires reached and fulfilled. All that ho worked to possess awaited him in the sunken city, peopled with the shadows of those ho loved, rieh with the wealth lie longed for, teeming with the fruition of his proudest hopes. His life and its completion lay there ; if ho would but take tho stop and reach it; and what should hold him back ? And tho other man, older iu work and disappointment than iu years, saw be neath him in the sunken city all the past joys of his life return. Those whom he had loved and lost walked through the deserted streets, and his bygouo youth, rich with tho hopes now dead, shone al luringly before his eyes. One down ward plunge, nnd he could rogain it all. With a start both men rose in the lit tle boat ready to leap into the wavos, when suddenly with a faint, echoing sound the mtuuo of the bells broke and died into silence, and the glories be neath grew dim and indistinct before their straining eyes. Tower nnd turret end gilded roof melted softly away into nothingness, and they Rnw only the lap ping wnters growing gray and misty in the approaching gloom. With a shudder the young man drew back from tho edge of the boat. "It is over,” bo said, “ the spell is past and night is coming on. We must return tc the slioro without delay, and in the real world and following out my own life I will gain all that I have seen shadowed forth to-day. My pnth lies beforo me and I am eager to tread it. Let us hasten back.” But tho other did not heed him. His eyes were fixed upon the water. Be ncath lay hidden the golden vision of the past and lie oould never hope to re produce it on earth. An overwhelming yenrning seized him. All that ho valued lay in the sunken city and he would join them thero. There was a faint cry, a sudden plunge, and tho young man sat alono within the boat ns the twilight darkened into night.

The cider mill challenged tho boy's attention in tho fall, when apples wero brought by tlio cart-lond and dumped iu lingo piles on the ground, then carried in largo baskets to tlio hojqier, to be con verted into pomace. Tho sternly old horse turned the creaking mill. When tho pomace was put into form and pressed the sweet juice ran ont into tnbs that invito sampling. Cups and glasses wero a barbarism; the only proper instrument for tasting and test ing was the long, bright straw. No cherry cobbler was ever ao delicious as that now cider. It was good sport to x.nt bens’ eggs, in obscure manger cor- rs, or high liay-mowB, or in the tall, binding grass ; to see tho swarming bees settle on a limb of tho near peoch tree, aud watcli tho process of hiving them ; to ride on high loads of fragrant hay ; to trap the sly woodchuck, and see his grit as a prisonor ; to follow the harvesters afield, and stack the clean oat-sheaves iu " shooks," and to see the same oats fly from under the alternating flails. About tho liest fun of all was in the huskings on the great bam floor. Here wero at once activity and repose, indi vidual excellence and social enjoyment. Every man has his stories to toll. The gray-haired grandfather recounted his »rly exploits, and told how his nimble feet used to trip those of heavier and stronger wrestlers. "Stand up a min ute,” he would say to his host hired man ; and, taking him by the collar and elbow, bo would illustrate his youthful " science,” and send his man tottering across the floor.

Lazily floating in a small boat were two men, one gray-haired and spent and worn, with a far-off look in his tired eyes; tlio other young and strong and happy -with the ignorant happinesB of youth. Tho day was drawing to a close and the sunset gilded the smooth waters on which the boat rocked gently, while both men sat absorbed in thought and hardly eouscious of each other’s pres ence. Suddenly the younger started. " Hark ! ” said he; “ what far-off bolls are those that can be heard at this dis tance from the shoro ?” The other listened. Soft and clear and strangely sweet they rang, now dy ing into silence, now pealing forth anew over the wnters. Spellbound they listened as the sounds swept by them on the evening wind. " They are the bolls of the sunken city, ’ said the gray-haired man at last, "and it must lie beneath us now. In silent awe they both leant from the boat and looked long and earnestly into tho quiot waters. Clear and green tlioy lay, bathed in tho radiance of the set ting sun, and, as they watched, it seemed to both that the rays of light were re flected back from gleaming roofs beneath Intently they gazed, and gradually irn folded before their eyes lay stately tow ers and minarets, vast marble halls and strangcly-gildod domes nnd steeples, Between them surged fathoms of crystal water, but underneath all was still and fair and beautiful and shrouded in mystery no man could penetrate. The sunken city lay revealed in this brief hour of sunset to the rapt watchers overhead.
