As the crimson curtain was drawn apart, an organ sounded, and a far-away choir sent into the hush the Ave Verum of Mozart, low-breathed and solemn. It was not Munich, Fastidiosus.

BRANCHING LARKSPUR. The petals bruised yield a fine blue pigment, and with alum make a permanent blue ink. FRAXINUS excelsior. MANNA. The bark immersed in water gives a blue colour. GALIUM boreale. CROSS-LEAVED BEDSTRAW. The roots yield a beautiful red, if treated as madder. GALIUM verum. YELLOW BEDSTRAW. The flowers treated with alum produce a fine yellow on woollen. The roots, a good red.

Verbum caro, panem verum Verbo carnem efficit .... They were nearer still, until now even at his feet there slid along the ground the shadow of a monstrous bird, pale and undefined, as between the wan sun and himself moved out the vast shape that a moment ago hung above the Hill.... Then again it backed across and waited ... Et si census deficit Ad formandum cor sincerum Sola fides sufficit ....

I have been surprized that Horace should cavil at this art in Homer; but indeed he contradicts himself in the very next line: Indignor quandoque bonus dormitat Homerus; Verum opere in longo fas est obrepere somnum. I grieve if e'er great Homer chance to sleep, Yet slumbers on long works have right to creep.

Sed hoc non est verisimile nec verum, sicut probatum constat per experientiam multorum.

It was the Verum icon, or true impression of our Saviour's face, taken at the very moment of His most mortal agony for us. Received as it was without a grain of doubt, imagine how it moved every Christian heart. The people threw themselves on their faces when the priest raised it on high; and cries of pity were in every mouth, and tears in almost every eye.

"Verum est pro te, it's thrue for you," says his Riv'rence, forgetting the idyim ov the Latin phwraseology in a manner. "Prava est tua Latinitas, domine," says the Pope, finding fault like wid his etymology.
