From â€" Cappoquin â€" in Waterford, there is a lonely five mile road that leads out of the world, up the slopes ol the Knockmeledown mountains, to the Trappist monastery of Mount It is a piace ol silence, strangely peaceiul and melancholy. The Trapâ€" pist ruile forbids all speech, except of praise or prayer, and all necessary communication is made by signs. This ruie is only suspended ir the case ol those attending on guests or â€"transacting business, but even the guests are expected to pracâ€" tice siltence, and indeed the atmosâ€" phere of the place is discouraging to speech. So, day in, day out, there is, save ior the bell and the offices, hardly a sound but of the dripping rain, the chirp of birds, the wind in the trees or {footsteps in the cloisâ€" ters. | p The fathers wear a white, the lay, brothers a brown habit, and in the long corridors and cloisters one sees them like ghosts pacing up and down with "iokied hands, avoiding â€" the glance and even the presence o the stranger. The hush of human voices dwells here like a presence, stifiing the wind, encouraging the soul. Hore ali day, however, mingle the sounds of labor and of praise, the . lowing of cattle with the booming of the chapel organ, the ring of the | smith‘s anvil with the Gregorian ; plainsong. From prime to compline the monastery bell is never for Jong : dumb, but is continuaily summoning : the abbot from his cell, the father from his meditations, the brother; from his work in the fields, the guest from the guesthouse, or ringing out ; ts message of the uplifted host j across th» empty â€" mountain â€" side, | where there are no ears to hear or . heads to be bowed, but only the idle cattlo and the indifferent birds.

They are exâ€" pocted to rise at 6 and to retire at 8 I fell upon an evil time, since not only was the week of my visit a solâ€" emn octave, but two out of the three days of my stay were {fast days and the diet was dry bread with milk or tea and fish at midâ€" day. But the morks are hospitality itâ€" solf. I was the only heretic at the guest table, and the lay brother, disâ€" covering this, produced bottled beer for my benefit. But the shadow of the church brooded overseven . our meals. In place of conversation a monk read aloud to us the sad and repressive doctrines of one of the fathors. and it was strange to hear is rough Irish voice admonishing us that ro earthly creature could ever satisfy our doesires the while we sat. contentediy enough, munching bread acd butter. On another day he read us the account of a certain plous abbey of Tours, but it remindâ€" ed me so irresistibly of Balzac that I fear I was but little edified. â€" The monks rise at 2 in the morning } all the year around, except on Sunâ€"| days and feast days, when they rise! an hour raclier. From that until 8 at might they are continually occuâ€" piod with the offices, as well as by their manual work, and their time is so Givided and apportioned that the hours and days seem to glide away casily enough. They eat nothing but broad and vegetables, and drink noâ€" thing but skim milk or water, and oven of their spare diet they have but two meals in their long day, and sometimes only one. They sleep in theoir habits, in tiny cubicles pariiâ€" tionad off in the great dormitory, and the furniture of these cublcles is simply a raised wooden piatform with a mattress laid upon it. A monk may live here for twenty years and never speak to the man boside whom he kneels in chapel or eats in the refectory. And he may dio here and be laid in the buryingâ€" ground among the rows of his brethâ€" ron who sleep there without a human soul â€" knowing what woere _ his thoughts, his incividualities, the litâ€" tle mental characteristics that enâ€" dear human boings to one another.

With it are sung "The Aoâ€" gelus" and the beautiful antiphon, "Salve Regisa," which, with its rollâ€" ing Gregorian melody, expresses all the simplicity and endurance of the faith that inspired it.
