Nuns Who Never See Even a Priest.

The Via Merulina Convent, in
Rome, will.remain in the possess
ion of the nuns until the death of
the last of them, when the propere
ty will go to the city. The sixteen
remaining nuns, who are called the
Sepulte Vive, are still in the mons
astery, where they once received a
visit from the Princess of Wales.
These nuns, some of them ladies of
noble families, observe a very
strict rule. Once entering the
convent, they never leave it alive.
They never see men, not even the
priest who says mass in the chapel.
The altar is screened off, and they
can just sec the elevation of TIE
Host, Through a small aperture
they recaive holy communion
Iron gratings and linen veil guard
the small openings through which
they make confession. They new
er undress or repose, but spend
half the night in prayer, and keep,
except in extreme cases of illness, a
perpetual absence from heat. They
make almost everything they use.
even to shoes and medicines. II
one Of these nuns dies, the an
nouncement is not made to the nun
herself, but in general terms it is
said that one Of them has lost by
death a father or a mother, as the
case may be.

How | laughed when | saw it, SO
quaint did it seem,
The old-fasbioned clothes they look
ed SO queer,
But my smiles turned to sadness
when in outlines l did trace
An old. fashioned photograph of my
mother, so dear.
CHORUS. How well l remember
that dear loving face,
The sweet tender voice again I
hear,
And [ see with affection, in that
old and dusty frame,
An oldfashioned photograph of
mother SO dear.
How my mind wanders back to
that sunny long ago,
When / knelt by her side and in
wispers soft and low,
How sic taught me to pray, and l
lisped tiny prayer,
That God would protect us all from
sorrow and care,
And off through rights stiffness,
I'd wake from a dream
To see a fond mother watching
near,
And the same soft expression from
her loving eyes did beam,
That shines in the photograph of
mother, so dear.
