Accordingly, one morning, Antonia
and GineVra were seen In the streets of
Florence. Ginevra was leaning on her
husbands arm, his sister accompanying
them, and a servant following They
encountered friends, whose amazement
rendered them almost speechless But
GineyTa, whenever she saw she was rec
ognized, paused and courteously addressed
her former acguaintances. She told them
that her husband had not only hastily
buried her alive, without the proper in
vestigatiou, but that when she sought his
door and that of her father, after resusci-
tation, she had been rejected by both ;
and 1T was not the fault of husband, faith
er, physician, or priest that she was not
in reality dead, for dead she must shortly
have been but for him who stood beside
her, who opened his door and his heart
to receive her, whether she came in flesh
or spirit-and therefore it was to him her
life belonged, and to him it had been con-
secrated.
Francesca Agolanti soon heard of his
wife's temperance, of her defaut words
and her new marriage. Finding that the
tale was true, he made an appeal to the
| courts of justice, to induce them to restore
Ginevra to him, her rightful husband
Gineyra and 'Antonia were summoned
| to appear before the Ecclesiastical Court,
! over which the Archbishop presided
The excitement ran high throughout
Florence, and the Court was surrounded
by an indignant populace, who denounced
Agolanti and Bernardo, and openly de-
clared their sympathy for Antonio and
Ginevra. Before the tribunal, GiLevra
told her tale braVely aud with great feel
| ing, and made known her determination
to resist her former husbands efforts to
reclaim her, after he had twice placed her
life in peril,-had shut her up in the
grave, and had closed his doors against
her; adding that if she should be separa-
ted from Antonio, she woald take refuge
from Agolanti 10 a convent
The cause was ably argued on both
sides. But the judges, in those times,
hardly dared to gainsay the outspoken
verdict of the many mortified public, which
was apt to decide for them what was JUS
tice, and TO enforce that justice, when
not summarilY dealt out, by riot and
bloodshed.
The decision given will seem almost
incredible in our days. The marriage
between Agolanti and Ginevra was de-
clayed null and void, through her sup
posed death and actual burial and the
court decided that she was free to form
other ties according to her good pleasure,
aud that the ties she had contracted were
legal !; and that she was now the lawful
wife of Antonio Rondinelii

Buriea 1.-Two.

There is an antique street in Florence
which bears the title of Via della Morta
Street Of the Dead The original name
Of Wa della Campanile was changed to
Via della Norta TO commemorate the re-
susciiation of the beautiful Ginovra, who,
having escaped from the tomb, wandered
through the streets by night, seeking that
shelter which the terrors of superstition
denied her.
The story of Ginevra, even more thrill
ling and romantic than that Of Romeo and
Juliet, can hardly be called a tradition or
legeud. II is, beyond question, a true
history, and has been chroniciod by yari-
Gus reliable Italian historians.
Toward the close of the fourteenth
century, the young Antouia Rondinelli
became enamored of Gineyra Almiera, a
lady of high lineage. Count Bernardo,
the father of Ginevra, a stern, hard,
graspiug man, was al variance with the
Rondinelli family. The youthful Gil
Devra warmly responded to the passion
character had kindled (; and, notwithstan-
ding the division between the families,
the trusting lovers basked in the delicious
hope that they would be one day linked
together in closest ties.
Antonio sought Bernardo, and, in spite
of a frigid and frownipg reception, boldly
avowed his affection for Ginevra, and
prayed that the discord between their
houses might be melted into harmony by
her fair hand clasped before the altar in
his The father repulsed HIM rudely,
aud forbade all intercourse between the
lovers Then Gineyra, gaining courage
through her dismay, Went to her, father
and implored him to hear her, told him
of her love for Antonia, and besought him
not to separate them. Her father turued
an obdurate ear to her pleadings, and
drove her from his presence. GiDevra
mourned and pined TO: her banished lover
without attempting to disguise her sor
row. Count Bernardo augured from this
open grief that she cherished hope that
he would be moved to revoke the sentence
OF separation. To dispel such an Illusion,
he determined to give her in marriage
without delay. ss7 s5 =
francesca Agolauti was one of the most
opulent men in Florence. From certain
facts related by historians, however, it
may be inferred he was as miserly as he
was wealthy. He, too, sought the hand
of Ginevra but she, far from listening to
