in my arms and carried her still further into
the shade of the wood, and then fastened to
my regiment, secured detail of men, guided
them back and directed them to dig grave
on the spot where I had first seen her.
When this was done the bottom was covered
with blankets from the battle field, pillow
was formed of another, and still another
constituted the pail which wrapped around
her. We bore her form to the grave. The
men, believing my story that it was the body
of favored college mate, placed it carefully
in its resting place, and covered it with
branches before filling in the earth. When
they had exhausted all their skill in perfect
ing the mound, we left her to her last sleep,
where the sunshine and the trees would dis
pute the privilege of shedding light or shade
on her grave, and where, day after day, the
the birds would sing her requiem.
Within few hours after this I was under
the terrible artillery fire that your forces
hurled from the crest of Malvern Hill and
the gunboats on the James. Momentary
death seemed certain, and I am sure that
If then had persisted, my last thought on
earth would have been of that fair, girlish
face. From that time till we faced your
Sheridan at Five Forks, in camp and march,
in many night watch, on battlefield and
in prison-pen, many times and oft has that
face been present to me. Vainly have 1
questioned soldiers from every arm of your
service, every division and brigade, and, as
far as possible, every regiment of your army.
But still the mystery holds. l never expect
now to know more of her, and perhaps it is
as we'll, for, now, at least, know naught to
her reproach, and can believe of and in her
all I choose:"
captain" said I, II thank you heartily
for your story, but query, what does Mrs.
Captain say to all this?''
Nothing, for she knows nothing of it,
and if I should tell it to her as earnestly as

moro in love with a dead girl than am with
living wife. And she would be very
wrong-of course
And echoing with the Captain, "Who was
she?'' we parted for the day.

Rosewood.

1t has puzzled many to decide why the
dark wood, so highly valued for pianos,
and in these times so cleverly initiated,
should be called rosewood. Its color,
certainly, does not look like that of rose,
but when the tree is first cut, the fresh
wood possesses a strong, roselike fra
GRANGE; hence the name. There are a
half dozen OF more kinds of rosewood
trees found in South America and in the
East Indies and neighboring islands.
Sometimes the trees grow so large that
planks four feet broad and ten feet in
.length can be cut from them. These
broad planks are principally used to
make tops for piano-fortes. When
growing, the rosewood tree is remarkable
for its beauty; but such is it's value in
manufactures as an ornamental wood that
some of the forests where it once grew
abundantly, now have scarcely single
specimen. In Madras the government

THE WORLDS GREAT BANK.

Il Sketch Of the Bnpk of Englnnd---TAe
Manner IN Which its Fork is D0ne--Its
Bus, Their Issue and Rcde1epti0n---A
model for -i'nericon Banks.
The Bank of England was organized in
1894. For time, the business was done in
one room. Now 700 men are employed. No
bills are issued for less than 95. Bills never
go from the bank the second time. Smaller
notes are out about ffty-fve days. Notes
for FL 1000 are out on az average Of ten days.
Every customer can have hard or soft money
as he prefers. Sovereigns that come into
bank are all weighed before going into cir
culation again. We saw them moving down
the trough, every one that is deficient in
weight passing out at the side. These de-
hclent colns are melted up for recoinage. ALL
silver coins that are worn smooth are re-
coined in like manner. Every coin going
out of the bank has it's full weight and value.
The sovereigns are put up in bags of 10000
each; 100000 are weighed in day. Notes
that are paid at the bank are torn at one
corner, preserved five years and then de-
stroyed.
Gold and silver are in ordinary use for all
small business transactions. The writer
used only three bank bills during the four
months he has been in England. We think
we must have small bills. What should we
think if we had no paper money less than
$25? There are bills on Irish banks for 81,
but never saw any of them. The volume
of currency meets the wants of trade in
Eng land, since any customer can have paper
or gold, just as he prefers. The question of
the amount of paper money settles itself, as
hi n x1,1o IL.
bank. How would this do for cur green
gold or greenbacks just as individuals pre-
fer. What would our fnanciers say to such
a plan? It must be good safeguard against
counterfeiting and stealing. If man had
FL, 900 note, No. 1888, and his pocket is
picked, he can advertise it, offer reward
for it's return, give notice at the bank, and
reasonable time. Any man who offers that
note will be asked how he came by it, and
the thief might easily be detected. Why is
not that note as safe as registered bond?
Different rooms are for different purposes.
One is for the weighing of gold sovereigns,
another for the examination of silver coins,
and other for government business, selling
government stocks, paying public interest,
discounting to London merchants, paying
mercantile notes, findings. All printing Of
blank books, drafts, and checks is done in
the bank. Bank bills probably cost less
than mill each. The paper is not like our
bank bills, no better than the paper used
for bank checks. The advanced ideas of
our greenback friends leave England iar in
the rear. The idea that a government can
make money by stamping a piece of paper
has no couDtenance in the Bank of England.
Our English friends consider :e5 note as
good as five sovereigns in gold, because the
note will bring the gold wherever presented.
How carefully they guard the purity of coin
age! Every sovereign, every shilling that
goes out of the bank is genuine and of full
value. If one, by wearing, is weighed in
the balance and found wanting" it is re-
coined.

You will not slam the gate!
For though it is all very true,

To canvass orr affairs-until-

At least, not now. But by-and-by,
When in "our home" wait
Your coming, l shall always like
