He had been away from his hills
about three months; and. do what one
would, for twenty days or a month he
could not be made to smile. lie had
bawled like an ass on his threshing-
floor, which, encircled by tomatoes and
pumpkins, was as big rs a city square;
and he had stamped about the farm
house, yelling MOI" He had spent
hours in his beloved chcstnut-grove, all
coiled together like hedgehog; while,
on the night before his departure, he
had been found in the stable, hugging
the COW closely and blubbering in her
ear.
At sight of such 4 lubbcr, brown as
4 tcnch, loose,jointed as an ape, and
rank enough to be scented a mile away,
his employers uttered a shrek. Malta
opened wide his mouth, his eyes, and
his nostrils, bit his hat-brim and stood
nodding yes and no. After week OF
forced ablutions, they regarded him
with less disfavor lie no longer smelt
bad. and his hair was less unruly,
while the two tears that kept ever
yelling up in his eyes made their azure
most beautifully transparent.
They put him into plaid salt, with
brass buttons and 4 slouch hat, whose
brim tapped out like the wings of an
nsc-harvcst-hy; and, hanging Il
basket on his arm and sending him on
trihing errands, they finally succeeded
in fetching a sorry sort of smile to his
phz. Malta scratched his pate, where
in all those little matters buzzed like a
swarm Of horse flies, opened the door,
and dashed like a streak down the
streets Of Florence.
For Il time he felt such q dizziness
that he b licvcd he was going mad.
Then lie began to look about him; he
stretched his arms and legs, and raised
his head; he gave a jauntier bend to
his broad hat. and even dared, now and
then, to pinch tie maid servants in the
market botwiXt benches loaded with
garden stuff and tables covered with
pluclcd fowls.

Mamma and he seemed TO see who could
make the most racket
Mamma was tall blonde. with whitish
eyes and skinny face; she had dwelt
there for Il half dozen years, making
stcws and pastry, and dreaming prob,
ably of somebody on her own account
The first day that Mamma and Mattia
met in the kitchen, they stood staring
at each other like 4 couple OF goats
making ready to butt. Yet, when
Malta had had six or seven washings
Mama slackened rope, while he drew
it in. The spry, pallid, lanky maid
put him in mind of his beloved tassci,

The lult # the age is mad endearor
To leap to heights that were made TO CHM:
By a burst of strength, of thought most clever,
We plan to foresta'l and outwit Time
We Scorn 20 wait for the thing worth hsvire:
We want high noon at The days dim dawi
We find no pleasure in toiiing and saving.
As our torefathers did in tie tli times gone
We force our roses, bef)re their season
To bloom ard blossom TO: us to wear;
And then we wonder ard a: k the reason
Why perfect buds so few and rare.
We crave the gain, but despise the getting;
We want wealtll-not as reward, but dover;
And the strength that is wasted is useless fiettrg
Would f, II IA forest or build tower.
TO coyet the prize, yet to shrink from the winning
To thirst for glory, yet fear 10 fight;
Why what can II lead to at last, but slnnlrg,
To mental languor and moral blight
Better the slow old W Y of striving,
And counting small gains when the year Is don't
Than to use our force and strength i'll contriv'n=
A,d to grasp for pleasure we have hot won.

come, fixed his eyes on his old silver
watch, and. rs the outer atmosphere
gradually 1arkcncd. his countcnance
became white with emotion. Then
Just the reverse occurred: for. us the
sky liyhtcncd towards morning again,
his face grew more gloomy. until the
broad daylight found him as dasky as
q cuckoo He had a crick in the neck
from constant watching out Of h"
window. an empty stomach, parchcd
lips, and hair all tousled from the
manifold scratchings that he had given
his head. Hitherto he had never
learned how to swear; but during this
night he discovered a collection of orig
inal oaths. Rest he could not think of,
and, uttering curse, he sailed from
the house
Away, away, he sped through the
streets, like 4 mailman. High and low
did he search, wherever there was 4
chance OF meeting Leprina and fling
ing in her face the fury that devoured
him.
"Can it be possiblc?" cried he. "After
so many promises
When evening was again come, ut
terly exhausted, with his tongue pro-
truding from his mouth, he reascended
to the room that had been an inferno
instead of Il paradise. No news of Le-
prina. Not soul had seen her.
Then Mattia thought of his old
mother, and of the little hoard of
quatfrini which would have been 4
fortune for her.
"Thicf!'' he cried. hoarsc with rage,
'thiel!' and there, where he had hoped
to kiss an angel. he abandoned himself
to weeping over the infamy Of the de-
mon.
a hand claspcd his. He jumped
up. with the tears streaming down to
his lips, and 4 face to have envohcd the
liveliest pity.
Before him stood Mama. Mama
he had despised; Mama, who had been
able to give him advice; Mamma, who
had kissed him on the forehead, who
had followed him, and who now was
gazing at him with those big white
eyes full Of Tenderness.
With heaving breast Mattia threw
himself on her neck in way to have
sent her sprawling on the floor.
Swaying to and fro, she let him
have it out The tears from his eyes
fell on her dress, and the black locks
of that great dolt mingled with her
blond ones; while sobs shook his chest
and his feet stamped on the floor as if
they would go through it.
She still suffered him to relieve his
feelings for 4 while. Then, giving
him a kick and finging him on the
bed, she giggled in his face: You plow-
boy.'
He ceased to weep, and, pulling Nam
M toward him, planted 4 huge smack
on her nose.
There was knock at the door.
Ere Malta could stir, Mamma had
opened it and rushed out like q wild
| beast
NJ ttia hetrd her gnash her teeth,
and then began such a battle of cuffs
and scratches as would have scared
the dead out of their graves.
But it did not last long.
Mamma presently returned, with her
face besmeared with blood, grasping
Matthias gift, which she had torn from
the ears Of Leprina.
Look" said she.
Bewildered and amazed, he took the
earrings, gazed at them, turned them
over, While one more tear, the last, of
rage and remorse dropped down. Then,
so very softly and gently, he put the
earrings in Nanna's ears, and said:
They are thine. ~. Y Home
