At the dead king from MOnZa, arrived
yesterday morning. Tie coffin was
placed on a gun-carrriage drawn by SIX
horses, and the procession set out from
the station, followed by the new king,
princes CT the house Of Savoy. royal
visitors, and representative Of foreign
powers. Preceding the royal remains
marched representatives of the mill
tary, civil, scientific, religious, and po-
litical organizations of Italy. Not a
word was heard from the people who
lined the way, and the grief shown in
their faces was grander tribute to
the memory Of the departed ruler than
all the splerd0r of the cOrtege.
A sudden movement of the crowd in
the Via NaZiOnale, as the kings car
riage in the funeral procession passed,
resulted in a panic, during which thir-
ty persons We're injured and several
were badly crushed. 1t was at first
thought by the officers that it was the
new kings life that was in danger,
and the Duke of AOsta and the Count
of Turin drew their swords, while the
cavalry drove back the crowd and in
closed the kings carriage in a square.

PAINLESS.

When August burned upon the years decline,
/ stepped within the whispers of a wood,
Whose whitest day. pricked back by darkest pine,
Made shimmering tumult where the thick stems
stood.
Some scent of whitening sap-a seething wine
Made incense of the balsam breathed drought,
Sweet as the sigh of summer in the south,
Athirst for autumn and the purple vine.
My feet pressed down the MOSES fbrous gray;
dry twig cracked upon a drier stone;
All parched views of lavender and brown
Died in the channels of the rocky way,
And in the famished covert l alone
Knew in what floods the thirst of life may
drown.
