tod Doimnicau mar liocco ís said to have once been preaching in the market-place at Naples. " This day," said he, " I will see if you truly repent your sins." Thereupon he conimenced a penitential discourso that made the hair o' tho hardhoarted multitudo stand upright ; and when they were all on their knees, gnashing their teeth, beatiug their breasts and putting on all imaginable signa of contrition, he suddenly cried, " Now, you who truly repont of your sins hold up your hands." .ïhero was not oao presont who did not iinmediately stretch out his anus. " Holy Archangol Michael," then exclaimed Rocco, " Thou wbo ' with thy adamantino sword standest by tho judgment-seat of God, hew off every hand that has been raised hypooritically." Instan tly evory hand dropped, and Eocco poured forth a fresh invective against tho ' sinfulness and perversity of his audience.
