FRENCH MONK LIFE.
Reminiscence of u Visit to the Monastery
of La Grande Chartreuse.

of La Grande Chartreuse.
Temple Bari
Accustomed as the Monastery of the
Grande Chatreuse is to receive the visits
OF strangers, there are some times as many
as two hundred in a single evening during
the summer. l had no need to say upon
what errand | had come, and l was at
once conducted by the ''frere-portier"-to
give him his proper It'll to the reception
room, where another lay brother took mo
in charge and told me that ! was welcome
to the monastery, bu. that the duration of
the visit was always limited to forty
eight hours. As ] was not intending to
remain more than one night, this reg ula-
ton did not in any way effect ne, and the
long drive had given mo such an appetite,
that l was not sorry to hear that supper
was about to be served. The little lug
gage which l had brought with me had
already been taken to the cell which was
assigned to me, thou III ''cell" is in truth
rather q misleading name to give to
what is in reality a very passabls bed
room. There was no carpet on the floor, it
is true; but when one has Travelled much,
ono learns to regard carpets as Injuries
which can easily be dispensed with, and
in other respects the rooms provided for
visitors contain every accommodation
which one requires. Looking round it as
l washed my hands before going down to
supper, ] found that it contained a good
bedstsad, a large table and an ample cup
board, inside which the lay-brother who
escorted me showed ma some plates COM
tanning biscuits, apples and r~aisins, to-
gether with bottles of yellow md green
CHI a~rtreuse, which, he added, "are at your
disposal, should you feel faint during the
night" One thing the bed room did not
contain, this being a lookiny.elass; and l
found that none of them are to be seen in
the NC astery, because they are supposed
to minister toward vanity. But a looking
glass, like a carpet, is not indispensable
70 comfort, especially when one has
reached an age at which regard for out
ward appearances should be waning, and
I vent down to supper with the feeling
that my lines were cast In pleasant
places.
