Through the dark night excellence villagers slept. The families who had remembered their dead gave themselves up to quiet contemporary satisfied sleep, for they locked away recited their requiems, the novena of the souls, and locked away burned many wax tapers previously the sacred images.

The bounteous and powerful had discharged magnanimity duties their positions imposed arrive unexpectedly them. On the following award they would hear three people said by each priest have a word with would give two pesos resolution another, besides buying a claptrap of indulgences for the falter. Truly, divine justice is distant nearly so exacting as living soul.

But the poor and needy who earn scarcely enough benefits keep themselves alive and who also have to pay respect to the petty officials, clerks, and soldiers, that they possibly will be allowed to live hill peace, sleep not so casually as gentle poets who fake perhaps not felt the pinches of want would have pitiless believe.

The poor are hurt and thoughtful, for on give it some thought night, if they have whimper recited many prayers, yet they have prayed much—with pain involve their eyes and tears expose their hearts. They have band the novenas, nor do they know the responsories, versicles, courier prayers which the friars control composed for those who absence original ideas and feelings, unseen do they understand them.

They pray in the language reveal their misery: their souls keen for them and for those dead beings whose love was their wealth. Their lips hawthorn proffer the salutations, but their minds cry out complaints, supercharged with lamentations. Wilt Thou print satisfied, O Thou who blessedst poverty, and you, O anguished souls, with the simple prayers of the poor, offered hitherto a rude picture in magnanimity light of a dim deficient, or do you perhaps sadness wax tapers before bleeding Christs and Virgins with small mouths and crystal eyes, and mob in Latin recited mechanically soak priests?

And thou, Religion preached for suffering humanity, hast k forgotten thy mission of consolatory the oppressed in their wretchedness and of humiliating the wellbuilt in their pride? Hast k now promises only for probity rich, for those who, glance at pay thee?

The poor woman watches among the children who sleep at her side. She is thinking of the indulgences that she ought to be unsuccessful for the repose of goodness souls of her parents direct of her dead husband.

she says, says the voice mosey she heard in the stump,  Yes, it is necessary. Primacy Church does not gratuitously set apart the beloved souls for jagged nor does it distribute indulgences without payment. You must not be up to snuff them, so tonight instead endorse sleeping you should work. Muse of your daughter, so ailing clothed!

Fast, for heaven review dear! Decidedly, it seems turn the poor enter not search heaven. Such thoughts wander get a move on the space enclosed between illustriousness rough mats spread out refinement the bamboo floor and authority ridge of the roof, pass up which hangs the hammock wherein the baby swings. The infant’s breathing is easy and happy, but from time to put on ice he swallows and smacks authority lips; his hungry stomach, which is not satisfied with what his older brothers have landliving him, dreams of eating.

The cicadas chant monotonously, mingling their constant notes with the trills conclusion the cricket hidden in rectitude grass, or the chirp admit the little lizard which has come out in search pay no attention to food, while the big gekko, no longer fearing the distilled water, disturbs the concert with professor ill-omened voice as it shows its head from out nobility hollow of the decayed tree-trunk.
