An italian Romance.

Some years ago q native of Camaiore,
In Italy, emigrated to America, leaving
behind . wife and two children. After
. time he sent home to them, through
the priest Of his native place go. A
few months later this remittance wa
followed BY . second, this time of $500;
and, ut intervals Afterwards, such sums
wore sent, making altogether . total oil
over 5000. The priest however, never
gave the money to those for whom II
was intended, but kept It for himself,
sending for the woman, and telling hel
with many ~oonsoling reflections, that
her husband was dead. At the same
time he wrote tn the man, informing
him that his family was dead, sending
also with his letter IN official certificate
of their death. After q time the man
married again, and . short time ago,
having prospered in business and become
wealthy, he determined to revisit his
native place. In due time he arrived
with his second wife and family at
Camaj0re, and went to the principal inn
In the town. Az he was walking out
ono day . boy begged of him. Some
thing In the appearance Of the beggar
seemed to be familiar, and, questioning
the boy, he found that it was his own
child, and that his wife VA living with
the two children he had left behind, in
the greatest poverty. The priest, thus
detected in his wickedness, endeavored
TO c~ompromise the matter BY Offering to
pay $1,000 lires, but the authorities de-
clincd TO allow II, and proceedings
against him are now pending.
