When all the votes have been placed in the chatice
the senior scrutator mixes them together The
junior then takes each vote from the chalicc and
drops it into another similar receptoclc.
Then comes the scrutiny itself. The three tcru-

altar. that they may he seen by all present The
first OF them takes voting paper from the chalice,
3nd, leaving the seals which senl down the name
folds, and reads the name OF the person In

It to the second scruatof, who also takes note Or
the person voted for, and passes 1t on to third,
who declares the vote in loud voice; and each
Cardinal, Us the vote is declared, marks it on
register before him. When all the registers arc
ed on file by the junior scrutator. The two ends
Of the thread are then tied together. and the whole
placed apart on the great table Then comes the last
operation Of the scrutiny, which has three divisions
in case an election has been accomplished, which
are. first the counting OF the votes; second, the

Who called aloud to the baby,
And sang a aweet, loving uir.
The baby, her soft eyes nOw open.
Raised slowly her dear little head,
To hear his sweet son. in the morning
OF how the cold Winter had Ged. :

Her life had begun to unfold;
