PENANCE OF DESCRIBING THE CROss ON TH: g FiA"s
WITH THE TONGUE.—Our readers will

the Plymouth Journal) that this was one of the
oimnepoosfedtbhyeitrhefooliSshistveriestiomfs: Alnercthye'" at EH ad uqber
of the Bulwark there is an extract given from the kg of
moire of an ex-Capuchin," in which he thus sp eat of
this penance :—"Perhaps the most cruel chastists" menthe
all in ordinary use is that of making the cross ug Pan Der
ground with the tongue. I have seen this penag rjCO
formed through the length and breadth of the r 0'9°,00
—a large hall, capable of seating two hundred Per-ills.
at tables placed in single rows by the side of th e ifes,
The tongue must leave a trace along the entire surf Toro
so that the cross is clearly visible. The natural n wiraocl
of the tongue being exhausted, it is at last lacers tee Ape
made one mass of sores. The track begins to aeoe
with blood, but the cross must be completed • ite •
blood flows copiously, but there is no pity, no re°P-af:
and long before the task is completed the misers blf
ferer presents an appearance calculated to rouse Ode bf
dignatien of every spectator not altogether bruta
fanaticism."
