He works in the fields or in- doors until 11 o'clock, then he stops for a three hours’ rest, which generally in. cludes a refreshing nap. Work is resumed till 6 p. m., when supper is served. Then an hour of leisure, followe! by devo- tions, and at 8 o'clock he retires. His is a peaceful, silent with ample leisure for reflection. There is no truth whatever in the grossly exaggerated stories of austerities practised by the monks upon themselves. Though they have retired from the world, they are | not above human feelings and experiences, Their lives are calm and placid as a sum mer sea. For worldly comfort. they care but little, having renounced earthly pomp and vanities: but no one can look at the clear-skinned, bright-eyed faces of a majority of the Trappists and consider their substantial surroundings without the conviction that ‘there are many people worse off. Buried alive, to all intents and purposes, they still seem happy. despite closed lips and poor diet, and thick, coarse, hob-nailed shoes, their brown serge gowns and the rope of flagellation for personal use which they wear at their belts, Of the fifty brothers at New Mellary, fifteen are choristers and forty-five lay brothers, the superior Leing Father Al beric, a man of remarkable attainments and fine presence. Father David and Father Placid are hit aids, the first being the prior and the second the sub.prior and guest-master. Only from these two is the ban of silence removed at any time, as far as the outer world is concerned. They see all the visitors, transact all the business connected with the management of affairs. They also oversee to some extent the work of the others, although little oversight is needed as long ex- perience has made the monks almost per- ect in agriculture and gardening. © grounds surrounding the abbey are on- riched in summer with great beds of lants, and the magnificent sea of bloom, including almost every variety known to the con- nolsseur, would make the average agri- culturist snvious. At this season, how. ever, the grounds are denuded, the trees bare and leafless, and the whole as cheerless, except within the walls of the . monastery itse It surprised me somewhat, I confess, to learn that the ignorance of these plous men in everything that related to the world without was almost absolute. One of the founders of the abbey, Brother Kairan, I was assured, had not been out goes Lu iife side of the limits of the place for thirty. seven years, and in nll that time had not read a newspgper or conversed with a stranger, There are others, too, who are still ignorant of the fact that there ever wns a civil war, or that Lincoln or Gar. field ever existed. Besides New Mallary there is only one other 1 rappist Monustery in the United States——the Abbey of Gethsemane, hidden among the blue Kentucky hills, not far from a bamlet on the Lebanon branch of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, and distant forty-eight miles from Louisville, Gethsemane is in the heart of a district that has long been noted for its beautiful scenery. It is an offshoot of the Abbey of La Meileraye, in the Blue Grass State, as long ago as 1775, but it was not till many years afterward that a second band of the order came from France and founded the present me nastery, There are about 1,700 acres of land in the Geth- semane domain, which is completely shut Inthe centre is a flat three-story building, with two chapels and an inoer court, and here the peaceful, silent colony lead an existence similar in all respects to that of the monks at New Mellary. Father Father Edward, took monastic vows, one of the leading monks, now dead, was formerly a famous tenor in French opera, le sang in this country and taught music in Washing. ton, among his pupils being Miss Nellie Grant, now Mrs. Sartoris, Other mem bers known to visitors are Father Hila rius aad Brother Honorius; but like all Trappists, the great body of the monks hold neither converse nor inter course with the world, Their lives passed at work, at devotions and in meditation. Un the walls in the abbey is a famous painting by Vandyke of “Mary in Egypt,” which was presented to the abbey by friends in Europe many years ago, and is doubtless a priceless art treasure, Another is a Heubens, the subject being the *‘Stoning of St. Ste Fraoce before he ire one of phen.
