ing out the old Hempfeld road, past
green fields, high hill g. some barren
from the drouth, others covered to
their summit with green forest trees,
past some lovely landscape views, here
q modern cottage nesting in an or
chard, and q sh, 1T distance on the cool
creek whose amber waters scarcely
cover its rocky bed, where cattle stand
in groups under the trees, the water up
to their knees, and barefoored urchins
chased each other throwing pebbles
to see the 81 lash, and trying to catch
minnows in STRAW hats, we came to the
station. Here the cars enptied !
and with umbrellas raised the pro-
cession starts for Mt de Chan
tai, which is situated on the hill short
distance from the station. The walk ls
good, but narrow, and we hear many
laug ching remarks as the people joSt
each other. When we at length come
into the grounds We find people every
where. Every walk see ms covered,
the steps are full and the halls OF the
building crowded. We pass, eIbowing
our way as best we can, along the
broad entrance hall, up fl ght OF
wide, comfortable stairs, through long
corridor and into the reception room
Here q sister meets us, who kindly con-
ducts US upon the stage, from which
we have q tu view OF the audience as
sembled. The room, which ia larle,
capable OF seating several hundred per-
sons, was literally lacked. The gay
flowers on the ladies bonnets
aud the gorgeous colors OF their
ians constantly in motion, made
it look like come immense flower gar
den in the tropics. Finding seat in
the front OF the audience, we have
good view of the stage, which, with lts
curtains and iuishiDgs would do credit
10 many opera houses, and briggs up
many thoughts. The drop curtain pres
ents q scene like unto the hol y land near
Jerusalem. Ia the distance towers d
high mountain whose summit ls enclr-
ced with the hazy light peculiar to
mountain distances, while in the fore
ground are lower hills covered with
verdure and one large, live, forest tree
stands at one side like sentinel over
the whole. Directly in front OF this
sit seversl OF the nuns. their sweet, pale
aces, quiet. gliding movements, and
som re, quaint dress, forming marked
contrast TO the eager, youthful faces,
lively manners and gay dress
OF the pupils who are seated. \
directly in front OF the stage. The
Sisters look like spirits OF the past, tired
OF the vain strivings OF the world, keep
ing watch and ward over the restless,
ardent, spirit OF the present
At about ten o'clock the exercises
