MONASTIC LIFE.
A uowpot'deiit of the London Spectator
Writes kfl follows: .
The interesting cconnt, In a reoent Spec
tator, cf a Tint to tbj Urantto CUartrense hai
recalled to my mind an InoMeut long pant,
which made an impression ou ma, that I can
never forget. I bad the slog-ilar good for
tune, more especially for a Protestant and a
Woman, ot meeting and couverlug with a
monk of La Trappe-, theu ont on a ininsioa
from hid convent, and I could not bat specu
late on the "inner li e" of one living under
eiich abnormal uouditionn, who, nevertheless,
appeared to me to be aotnated by mnuh the
Fame fteltuga and motived aa ordinary
mortals.
My host on this oociion was a man of con
siderable note, th spiritual director of a lare
rural district in Normandy, ami oue of thoe
truly binoere and estimable Roman Catuollo
prlfbtB of whom little is known in Ejglanl.
At the time 1 speak of thirty years ago ha
was a venerable silver-haired euro, nearly
eighty years of age, but with all the vivaoity
ot youth; a man of courtly mauuers, united
with the greatest simplicity aud kindueaa.
Jo countenance lie strongly resembled the par
tialis ot 1'Viuelou, and there wa a resetnblauoa
in character alHO, as regarded fervid pie'.y aud
unbounded charity. At the time of the Fienoh
Revolution of 1783 ha wa3 private secretary
to the Archbitihop of 1'aris, and he steadily
rented all the personal etlorts aud flatteries
ef Talleyrand, who wished him to take the
Oath of allegiance to the Constitution, aud wa
consequently obliged to fly for his life. After
many narrow escapes he got safe to Kaglaul,
and, teeiug faither than his emigrant oom-
E anions (who expected but a very brief exile),
e no sooner lauded than he set to work ia
eariifMt to learn Uoglidh, aud established him
self as a teacher of languages near Baruet. lie
was soon on friendly U-rins with the Pretestaut
clergjman of the place, with Mr. 13yng, the
member, and with other neighboring families,
and was universally esteemed au l beloved.
Among his friends was Mr. Salomons, who
Invited him to dinner, "if he would not objeot
to eat with a Jew, who said a prayer and
washed hands before meat." The Abbj
replied that he was always glad to wash
Lis hands, aud that as to the prayer, he would
Bay his own while they reoited theirs ; and so
the Jew aud the: Catholic sat down cordially
together; but though freely associatiug with,
Protestant or Jew, the Abbu held firmly to his
own fV.lth. Gratitude for kinduess received
in England during ten years of exile induced
him, after his return to France, to seek out
the few Engli-h who came into his neighbor
hood, and thus I became acquainted with him.
Oiten Lad 1 bard his Hertfordshire friends
Speak of him with warm regard, aud wheu he
Bent to offer his Kervioes, ou hearing that an
English family had taken a chateau near St.
D6.-ir (wbere he had been long cure), great
Was Lis delight on fimliug amongst them
one who knew his old friends,
and we were soon on intimate
terms. Liberal as he was, he naturally de
sired that we should embrace what he held to
he the trne faith, and he exerted himself to
show ns all that was best and most interesting
In the Roman Catholic system. II introduced
us to many clever priests and nuns cloistered
as well as hospital sisters for beiug arch
deacon of the diooes" aud director of all the
convents, he could take us into the interiors,
where few Protestants are admitted. (I may
add that he was no great advocate for conven
tual life; its narrowness was displeasing to
him though he honored those who had "a
trne vocation;" and he once owned to ma
that nothing was so irksome to him as hearing
the confessions of nuns, who had little to con
fess but petty jealousies.) lie once took its to
Bee the ordination of fifty priests in Bvyeux
Cathedral a grand spectacle and I re
member the fervor with which he de
scribed that part of the ceremony
where the candidates take the one step for
ward which seals their fata for life. Many
have drawn back at that decisive moment,
"and those not the worst either," said my
good old friend, who deserves ever grateful
remembrance from one who, though in his
eyes a heretic, was treated by him as a daugh
ter, aud honored by his friendship. A tew
years later, he dictated, on his death-bed, a
letter to me which be signed with his own
trembling hand, "Ton ami pour la vie et pour
ViterniU."
To return to the monk of La Trappe. Ai a
epecial favor, two of our party were invited to
meet him at dinuer, bat the illness of my in
tended companion obliged me to go alone. I
was quite at home at the preshyttre (where
my little nephew was boarding), and although
the position of one lady at table with
twelve priests and a monk of La Trappe
Was somewhat a novel one, yet such
thoroughly Christian gentlemen were my host
and his guests that I felt not the slightest em
barrassment. As the place of honor, I was
seated next the monk, who conversed most
agreeably, with a sort of quiet oheerfalness,
sometimes directing his conversation to me,
sometimes to the company generally. His
language was the most choice and beautiful I
ever heard in common discourse, and he was
evidently a man of great cultivation and re
finement, lie was fiuely formed, in the prime
of life, and apparently in perleet health of
body and mind; with a noble head and a coun
tenance full of intelligence and feeling, lie
had been a professor at Bordeaux, and was
remarkable for eloquence and ability. What
induced him to become a Trappist was not
known to the curC, who always ad
dressed him with profound respect as
"mou pore," which sounded rather odd
from a man twice his age. 11a had
often been sent ont by the superior of his
convent on the affairs of the community, asone
of it ablest members; and on the preseut occa
sions he was returuiag from I'iris, whra he
had been to scilicit funds for rebuilding thiir
church after a fire. While in the world he
was not required to kee up tha ascetic habits
of the order.
He told me that he had known many of my
nation at Bordeaux, aud that it was pleasant
to hear his own language spoken with an
English aocent. tie related with much grace
several anecdotes of the treatment which hit
community had met with during the Revolu
tion, aLd something having been raid of the
abundance of game in a place named, he
mentioned having been formerly a keen
Sportman. "Do you not sometimes long for a
shot now f" atked oue of the young vicaires.
'1 did for some time after I entered the con
Vent," he replied, "but that has long been a
tbii g of the past with me." Wheu asked
Which he preferred, his life at La Trappe or In
the world "La Trappe, a thousand times,"
was his answer. A day iu the world, he said,
was as long as a mouth at La Trappe, and ha
longed to get back to his quiet life. I ven
tured to ak if he did not tied the monotony
irksome f lly no means, was the reply; prayer
and meditation filled many honrs happily, aud
they had no time to be dull. Toey were con
stantly employed, and when not engaged in
devotion he had such eoutinual hard labor in
the garden and fields that when he laid down
his head (on the bare ground) at night he was
asleep directly.
The case of this monk may have been ex
ceptional, and his contentment throws bat a
iaiiit light upon the ordinary state of moaaatlo
inner life, In which such mental resources a
his muftt be rare. The hiph estliu V.ion in
which he was held, bath within and buyon I
the convent, may also hava tended to excite
self-complacent feelings. At the request of
our host, "mon pcre" related how he hvl
been suddenly called upon to preach before a
distinguished andience at Paris; he would
fain have been excused, saving he feared that
without preparation he should not do justica
to the cause. "Nay, say rather that you are
afraid of not doing justice to your own repu
tation, " was the reply. Before ha en
tered the pulpit, they gave him a cap
of s'rong enllee, and the effect wat
marvellous; his tongue was loosed, and
thoughts and words flowed without diifljulty.
The audieiioe wore more than satisfied, and he
evidently enjoyed his sucoess. 11a was cer
tainly not dead to social feeling, though he
had been for years immured in his convent.
There was no gloom or formalism about him,
and no visible appearance of a'natinim, but
he whs evidently possessed with fervid reli
gious feeling. He asked permission of ths
euro to present me with a pamphlet entitled
"La Trappe Mieux Conuu," which contains
an account of the inouastery, one of the two
convents which Napoleon allowed to remaiu,
saying that thtre were some minds which
needed a retreat where they could live aloue.
This reverend pire would have said, live
with Uod. He was regarded with ex
traordinary reverence by all the guest-t, who
were the w irking clergy in the small town
and neighboring villages, useful mn in
their generation, but they evidently con
sidered his "vocation" as far superior to their
own. In his ca?e there seemed to be no peni
tence for past crime, no special disgust with
the world but the real love of a contempla
tive life, ooupled with that view of religion
which makes a merit of renouncing every in
dulgence iu this world by way of preparation
for a better. How far the satisfaction which
he derived from monastio life was for his
truest spiritual advantage is a problem that
must remain unsolved
Tho French Prince Imperial.
From the Multgard Illustrated Paper,
The Prince is neither too tall nor too short
for his age, and the sort of embonpoint which he
possessed a few years ago disappears more and
more, and his figure seems to grow as slender
and elegant as was that of the Emperor in hit
early youth. Ue looks by far more like his
mother than his father, and only those who
have opportunities of seeing him every day
find gradually that at certain moments he bears
an astonishing resemblance to his father, too.
When his faoeis cairn, the Prince is strikingly
like the Empress; but when he is excited,
aud even when he merely laughs, his re
semblance to the Emperor is undeniable; and
he laughs often, the young rogue; ha is tha
merriest child that cau be imagined; iu all
things and persons surroundiug him he finds
subjects of mirth fur his imperturbable good
humor. Prominent traits of h;s character
if we can speak of character at such au early
age are the following: A kind of haughty
modesty, if I may so call it; tor example, he
never enters into discussion with older per
sons, while he is passionately addioted to doing
so with his playmates, Conneau, Espinasse,
eto. A simple "no," without giving any
reason for it, is his only opposition to older
persons, and no one, neither the Empress nor
his tutor, General Erossard, are then able to
change his stubborn mind by prayers or
threats. In that event, when the case is of
some importance, is re-enacted for tha
hundredth time a scene only too well
known at the Tuilcries. The Empe
ror enters, approaches his son kindly,
brushes the hair from his forehead, and asks
why he does not want to do what he has been
ordered to do. The boy makes no reply.
The Emperor (.repeats his question three, nay
ten, times. No answer. At last the Emperor
says, "I want you to do it," or "You must
do it." And, as if the boy had merely been
waiting for these words, he jumps up, kisses
his father's hand, and rushes from tue room,
in order to obey. When his play-fellows then
tease him for having yielded after all, he re
plies, proudly, 11 V 'Empereur a ordonne." Is it
firmness, or mere petulance f It is difficult to
say what it is, but it seems to be the former,
for it has been noticed that, after obeying his
father in this manner without resistance, ha
has withdrawn into soma corner - and
wept bitterly. Once he had culled a
femme tie ihamhe of the Empress "une
mule enlcte'e," and was compelled to ask
her pardon: he did so very gracefully, but
cried lor half an hour afterward. It must ba
somewhat singular to the imperial parents
that their only child makes such a great dis
tinction between them; toward tha Empress
he is a son a naughty son, disobeying her
nine times out of ten, and thinking ha oau
easily pacify her by a single kiss; bat his
father he treats above all as tha Emperor,
whom be looks upon as the greatest monarch
of all times. His former tutor, Manier, said
to him one day: "A monarch must, above all,
learn the difficult art of forgetting and forgiv
ing; wrongs which he has suffered must at
once fade from his memory." "And tha
wrongs which hava been inllioted on his
father, too ?" asked the boy, who was then
only nine years old. The Prince is not
Very bright, he learn only with con
siderable difficulty; the more praiseworthy
is his application, owing to which he is
not behind in any brauch of his studies, ex
cept, incredible as it may seem, orthography.
What trouble orthography has already caused
to the heir-apparent of the imperial throne
can hardly be imagined. He writes tolerably
gcd compositions; but, despite all tha pains
he has taken, he has never yet suooeeded iu
writing a quarto page without some orthogra
phical blunders. When the Prince of Uohen
zollein, to whom the boy is much attached,
afaked the Emperor about the progress made
by his son iu knowledge, tha Kuiperor re
plied in his characteristic way: ''Satisfactory,
but mediocre." It is singular that the Prince
excels in no single biancu of his studies; he is
tolerable in all, and Coniean.his young school
mate, far outstrip him in every respect; Ex
ercise is bis favorite occupation; he is very
courageous, knows no danger, and will one day
be au excellent horseman and a still butter
swordsman. Ait.regards his health, it is now
again excellent, and, despite the newspaper
reports, never was seriously impaired. It
was i. mere table to say that he behaved with
Stoical courage at the operation on his leg; on
the contrary, Le eoreamed at the top of his
lungs. Nothing could have been more rid'eu
lous than to describe a boy's conduct, wheu
undergoing a very painful operation, as that
of a Spartan. It hurt him fearfully, and he
toreamed duly. Wuon he presented the graud
cordon of the Legion of Honor to Nclaton, his
surgeon, be added of his own accord, and iu
a gentle voic e, to the words he had been told
to litter "It is the ribbon worn by the Euane-
ror himself.." In short, the Prince Imperial
in not a bright, precocious child, such as all
parents might wish to have.
