d the neck of
the unhappy Ibrahim, and at the moment when the vindictive Greek drew
tight the fatal noose, the last words which hissed in the ears of the
grand vizier, were--"The wrongs of Calanthe are avenged!"

Thus perished the most powerful minister that ever held the imperial
seals of Ottoman domination;--and the long-pent-up but never subdued
vindictive feelings of Demetrius were assuaged at length! Dame
Francatelli had long been numbered with those who were gone to their
eternal homes when the news of the death of Ibrahim Pasha reached
Florence. But the Count and Countess of Riverola shed many, many tears
at the sad and untimely fate of the grand vizier.

Time, however, smooths down all grief; and happiness again returned to
the Riverola Palace. For when Francisco and Flora looked around them and
beheld the smiling progeny which had blessed their union,--when they
experienced the sweet solace of each other's sympathy, the outpourings
of two hearts which beat as one, ever in unison, and filled with a
mutual love which time impaired not,--then they remembered that it was
useless and wrong to repine against the decrees of Providence; and, in
this trusting faith in Heaven and in the enjoyment of each other's
unwearying affection, they lived to a good old age--dying at length in
the arms of their children.
