Peppino does not answer.

priest The Holy Virgin cannot for

thy sin"

Speak, Peppino; was it thy neigh

The shepherd shakes his head with
proud disdain.
To aid him in the difficult task the
aged priest winds his arm kindly
around the sturdy shoulders of the man
at his feet. Speak, he urges again,
was it the knife, Peppino?"
Peppino mods his head.
"Who was thy victim, my son?"
The shepherd whispers: Count Luz

An expression of horror passes over
the priests pale face. Count Ludo-
vico Porziano, for whose slayer the
Carabinieri have been hunting the
mountains for the last three ycars?"

Peppino smiles crimly, as he reveals
his handsome teeth behind a black
mustache. He seems proud to have
confessed a secret which the arm OF

Hear me then, reverend father, She
was a lovely child, scarcely seventeen
years of age. Sweet and tender, and
as pure as the Madonna Siguor, her
eyes We're as clear as the light Of the
moon, and her soul as white as the
mountain SHOWS. She had promised to
be my wife, Her father was a peasant
of the Campagna, who lived at Formel-

pasture | saw her standing near the
fountain, with her long, black hair
twisted into a simple knot, and red
kerchief wound around her white fore
head. A bunch of asph odelos blossoms,
of which the lasses of the Campagna
are so fond, was pinned to her crimson
breast-cloth. She smiled at me, rever-
end father, as | walked by, all, such n
sweet and coy smilel
There came a day, when the count
rode by Marianita's humble hut on his
return from the chase. He saw her

to his blase eye, and, alighting from

The wan ana aged Winter lay;
with lean hands folded blear eyes sealed,
His scant and matted locks close prest
Against his sunken temples, and
His rigid limbs composed TO rest
The pine trees rocked their slender forms
And blent their moaning notes oerhead;
The north wind howled about the tomb
And mourned and mocked the noble dead;
wreath of faded, withered how'rs-
Beneath the fallen leaves half hid,
And bathed in natures icy tears
Reposed upon his coffin lid.
But 10. the golden sunlight stopped
And kissed the gricving pines above;
The gentle south wind wandered by
And whispered of undying love
1t touched the sleeper clammy brow,
Caressed him with its balmy breath,
Until he stirred his pulseless limbs
And struggled with the bonds OF death
II cast aside the withered fow'rs
That rested on the dreamer's tomb,
And wound about his breathing form
A wreath of fresh and fragrant bloom;
Rebuked the bowling polar wind
And sent it to the dis tant north,
Swung wide the portal OF the grave
And jocund, edorous Spring came forthl
The seasons resurrection And
The enew-triumphant DER the mold
And dank decay of natures tomb
Is brighter, better than the old.
The newborn year ilt emblem is
or all that happy state will bring,
When walked from life's brief troubled dreei
We know one fair, eternal spring

Morse's Amendment.

Washington, d. c., March D.
The Judiciary committee of the
house of representatives met in the
committee room at noon today for
the purt ose Of listening to argu-
ments on the resolution of Repre-
sentative Morse, of Massachusetts,
proposing an am endment to the
pr Gamble of the constitution of the
United States, acknowledging the
supreme authority of the ust
government of Almighty God in all
the affairs of men and nations"
This question has been before CON
gress at intervals ever since the con
stitution was adopted. OF late the
pressure from those who believe
that such an amendment should be
made to the constitution has been so
great that it could not be ignored.
The proposition is antagonized by
representative of various societies
of free thinkers, atheists and agnos-
tics, and it will be supported ten
times more strongly by representa-
tives of the various religious
denominations. The hearings will
occupy several weeks.
