I" Yes, | promise" she answered solemnly.
Two days after that John Eversleigh died,
and Alice Was alone in the woIld.
She did exactly as her father had made
her premise to. She wrote to Basil sher-
wood, and then she published the confession
Of the dying man. 1t seemed a hard thing
to do to tile dead, as lie said but he had
wished it, and she felt that his wishes ought
to be respected; and she felt, too, that it was
no more than right that it should be done.
Justice to Basil Sherwood deihahded that.
She was sitting alone one day, thinking
Of riiany things. Of what she was thinking
most she could not have told. But Basil
Sherwood was interviewer with her reverie.
In years gone by she had never ceased to
think of him as the only man she had ever
loved, or ever could love. He was the one
man iii tile world 10 her
There was a ring at the door she heard
step in the hall, and some one entered the
room. She supposed it was the servant
coming to announce a visitor, and did not
look up.
"Alce," low voice said and it was
strangely sweet and tender.
She sprung up with glad, eager cry, her
soul in her face.
"Oh, Basil Basil" she cried, and wds
folded to the brgast Of her lover; And, after
those long years of waiting, two faithful
hearts were reunited; to be parted never
more until death comes between theri

Out of the sweet old legends
Beckons fair white handj
And silvery, bell-like voices
Tell of an unknown landj
Where magic roses blossom
In the evenings golden light
And the air is laden With fragrance
From the lilies silver-white.
The trees, with their waving branches,
Murmur fairy song,
And the brooltlet merrily dances
As it ripples and gurgles along.
And tender, enchanting love-songs
Float on the balmy breeze,
And the hearts unspeakable longing
By their music is set at ease.
Would that my steps could reach it,
That happy, howery strand!
For all my earthly afilictions
Would cease in that fairy land.
Oft, in my dreams l see it,
In its glamour bright and fair,
But with daylights earliest glimmer
1t vanishes into air.

"And so you love my daughter?"
John Evtrsleigh, the, merchant prince,
leaned back in his chair, and looked long
and sternly at Basil Sherwood.
"Yes, sir, l do" the young man answered
frankly. 81 am aware that there is vast
difference in our positions, socially, at pre-
sent, as the world looks at it, But YOU
were poor boy once, and think you will
not say that you were not as well qualified
to hold the position you hold now, socially,
as you were after you became wealthy. I
do not wish to be considered eeOtistical nor
conceited, because | am not. But am not
afraid to say, as believe every young man
ought to, if he can say it truly, that, save in
the one item of wealth, am on level with
your daughter. l do not consider that l am
aspiring beyond what am justified in do
ing, and do not consider that she is stoop-
ing at all when she tells me that she loves
me-"
"Then she has told you that she loves
you?"
John Eversleigh's tone was cold and hard.
His face was colder and harder than his
tone.
Eyes, sir, she has" answered Sherwood.
ut is with her permission that | have told
you this. have received an offer of posi-
ton in large exporting house in India. If
| have your permission to marry your
daughter, I shail. rot accept it. If you do
not consent, shall CO.
"You had better notify the parties making
the Offer that you accept it as soon as posi-
ble," ANSWERED Mr.. Eversleigh, with scorn-
full curl of his lip.
"You don't mean"-began Sherwood,
turning pale.
~ do mean just this" cried Eversltigh,
purple with rage. "I mean that you are an
impudent puppy, sir, and that if it wasn't
for compromising my dignity, I'd give you
a good horsewhipping, Love my daughters
indeed! l know what you're after. It's
plain to see that you aspire to becoming a
rich man, and you intend to take a short
road to wealth by marrying woman who
has money. Leave my house this minute,
sir, and if l hear of your insulting my
daughter any more by youraudacious atten-
tions, I will horsewhip you! Remember
thatw
The old man seized the bell rope and pull
led it violently.
81 want to say few words before I 60"
began Sherwood, pale to the lips with anger
and disappointment. But Eversleigh would
not listen to a word.
A servant answered the bell.
"show this young man to the door," he
said, motioning toward Sherwood. "If he
presents himself here in future he is not
to be admitted on any pretense whatever.
You understand, Willam.?'
"Yes, sir" answered William, with a grin
at Sherwood.
The young man turned without a word
and walked out of the house. He dared not
trust himself to say anything, for his tenn
per was up to fever heat.
"And so that ends my dream" he said,
bitterly, when he had reached the street.
"Of course she would not marry me against
his wishes. l shall go to India and try to
forget. But shall not succeed in doing it..
l can never forget her."

One morning, about month later, there
was wild excitement in the city.
The bank of which John Eversleigh was
President had been broken open and rob

Suspicion pointed to but one person, and
that was Basil Sherwood.
He had been head clerk in the bank, and
knew all about the place. lie had stood
high in the confidence of the officers and
had had every chance to get at the money,
if disposed to do so.
lie had been seen in the city at dark. He

tanned that he did not sail on any vessel

The City of Richmond Public Schools
I'm hanger.

HE
Your correspondent who styles himself
Zone Single Voter" stated, no doubt unin-
tentionally, in the Dispatch OF the I'd OF
March, that the city OF Richmond was ex-
cepted from the provisions OF bill now
before the Legislature. The facts are these:
A bill was passed in the House OF Delegates
(passed hastily possibly which depriUes the
school boards OF cities or towns OF over 800
inhabitants of the power to demand OF the
city or town councils, and who shall have
no power to withhold the sum or sums re-
ported by the city or town school boards
and declared to be necessary for the proper
maintenance and growth OF the public
schools OF the city or town; provided, that
the council shall not be required to appro-
pirate sum greater than double the amount
received from school funds OF the State
during the same scholastic year.
The bill was reconsidered in the Senate,
and would have passed that body, too. had
it not been for the lynX-eyed, watchful SEN
ators, representing cities and towns other
than the city Of Richmond, who succeeded,
in the interests OF their constituents, to
amend the bill, excluding all cities and
towns from this obnoxious provision, Rich-
7nond, solitary and alone, excepted. The
bill rs amended is returned to, and is now
before, the House Of Delegates. Members
friendly to the cause OF public education
ought to reject it. Neither the citizens OF
Richmond nor their representatives in the
City Council have asked for or expressed
any wish for special legislation in changing
the school laws to provide system OF pub
lie free schools in the cities and towns OF
the Commonwealth, approved March 31st,
1871, which have been in successful opera
ton to this day. ONE WHO KNOWS.

The RESUMPTION Act.

The repeal OF the resumption act was
considered to be companion Of the silver
bill; but so quiet has Congress been that
we begin to think that some cause has rem
dered the prospect Of the passage OF such
bill less hopeful, or that the desire to pass
it is diminished. Certainly, the remonetlza-
ton OF silver increases the ability of the
country to maintain specie-payments, and
dininishes the anxiety of businessmen with
regard TO it. We think it likely that with
the preparation already made for resump-
ton, reinforced by the liberal silver coinage
ordered by Congress, resumption may take
place with hardly a ripple in financial mat.
tiers. The disposition Of Congress seems
highly favorable to such financial measures
as promise to give facilities and public ac-
commodation that will be auxiliary to a
healthy condition of credit and assist in re-
storing confidence to remarkably vigorous
condition.
We think there will be no very Jealous
attempt to repeal the resumption act. The
Senate will hardly concur in such meas
ure, and il it does the President will more
than probably put his veto nnnn it.

Peace between Russia and Turkey.

FeaCS OeCW0Su fCuSSld duo ulhSy.
The terms OF peace were signed by Rus
STA and Turkey on Saturday last. They will
pass under the criticism and Judgment Of
the prospective conference OF the Powers,
and may undergo notifications, and we
suppose will. But we are disinclined to
think that any serious disagreement, pro-
yokiue a new phase OF hostilities, will occur
at the conference. The detriment to English
influence in Europe from the usso.Turkish
war cannot possibly, we think, be repaired
by any warlike demonstration on the CONT
nent to which England may be party. She
understands her condition pretty well, and
will not embroil herself in European strug-
gle even il she can divide the European
Powers and procure for herself one or more
allies. She is wise enough TO know that
the past history Of her action with refer
ence to continental affairs is pregnant with
facts well calculated to excite in continental
diplomacy much jealousy towards her, and
that it cannot be safe to press her fortunes
in the continental courts. She has strong
positions along the Mediterranean, which
are not at oil pleasant to the continental
Powers, and with these she should rest con-
tent. and not attempt to command also the
inlets on the eastern shore Of the Mediter-
ranean to the detriment OF Russia and Ger
many. IL she shall be content as she should
be, il she be as wise as the world believes
her to be, there will be no trouble. She
