Rites Observed When Death Entered
a Monastery ana Claimed a victim
In the Durham Rites we read how be-
fore the high altar were three marvellous
faire silver basOns hung in chaines of sil-
ver:'' these contained great wax candles,
which did burn continually both day aud
night, in token that the house was always
watchinge 10 God" Many and various are
the estimates which rLen make Is TO the
efficacy Of prayer in changing or modify
ing Gods purposes toward men; few Wal.
however. be found 20 deny the moral beauty
or this conception, which was the CONN on
heritage OF AZ :he monastery orders. The
IDEAL OF every monastery was the ideal
typified by the Durham eyer-burning lights;
The house was always watchingetO God
The well known collects and prayers en-
sIrined in the solemn liturgy OF tue Church
of England are in large measure the prayers
and collects prayed and sung for so many
centuries, 10y day and 10y night, in the ,OOO
abbeyS and Chapels of the monks; they We're
thus forever intercedinS for all sorts and
conditions OF men"
But, besides the perpetual prayers for
others. peculiar spiritual fellowship ex-
isted between the religious Of the same
order, and was, indeed, often extended to
those Of other orders. Blr. Hunt can Ac-
count of the PriOry OF st. Peter and st. Paul
at Bath"l gives US q remarkable illustra-
tion of this fellowship in the bond for pra yer
made between the priOry OF Bath and six
other Beuedictine converts, as far back as
A. d. 10T7 in which the parties agreed 10
pray for one another and their brethrSu n and
to D. Low to
heart and one soul. 1t will be Observed -
adds Mr.. Hunt. ''that two Of the abbots were
of the conquering race and their union with
their English brethren is pleasant to con-
template
When a monk died messenger was dis
patched TO all the religious communities
from which prayers were due, and indeed 10
many others, with the mortuary roll. having
at the head an announcement OF the death
and short account OF the deceased. Each
community acknowledged the receipt of the
roll by writing upon it promise OF prayer
for the soul of the departed. and, as rule.
request for similar prayers for their de
ceased brethren and benefactOrs was added
The benefits OF these pra yers seem to have
been granted to a large number OF benefac-
tors and Others. Nor was this privilege by
any means confined to the great aud
wealthy; very small, even a normal pay
!, ment, such as round OF wax, seems to
have qualified a man or woman to be re-
ceived. If otherwise fitting, into the number
OF ''fratres' or ''Sorores'' of the convent.
Those so admitted knew that the divine
sacrifice was offered daily for them in the
church OF the monastery, and that prayer
was continually made for them while they
lived, and that after death the welfare of
their souls would be the subject OF special
futercession

he did not care about showing himself off
like some curiosity. OF course, it was
quite right, you see. Just think-an off

Well my brother asked me about my we'd

about her mistress and everything. Well.

the next day was Sunday, I knew they
wCuld be at church, and he greed to meet
me there. We'll, when Nine. Dalbert came
in and Louisctte after her, l just nudgcd
him and told him who they were. Isn't
she pretty?' l said, and he nodded, but he
never took his eyes off Nine. Dalbert.
When we were going out of the church he
Just got first and stood there watching her,
and when l was speaking TO Louisette ne
went off, so that I could not introduce him
then.
The next day l went to the cafe again
TO meet him, hC sa " he had some friends
with him, some officers he had met by
chance, old friends of his at Saint-Cyr.
When he saw me he left them and came
to meet me, for he knew I should feel
bit awkward amongst all his friends.
q Didn't you say the lady was q Madame
Dalbert where your LouiSette is?' he asked,
as soon as ever he had saken hands.
Yes l said. Madame Dalbert.'

that?
II laughed at the idea of my minding t,
but, of course, gave him some MESA ges
for Louisette. Two days later l saw him
again, but he was quite different. When
l asked him about Louisette, he said,

1T is NJ. Chapoulot who speaks. and, as
the words show. Nj. Chapoulot is out Of
humor. Ordinarily N. Chapoulot is as
goOd-tcmpered and easy going as one would
expect in a man OF sixty. who, having been,
like John Gilpin in his day. a linen-draper
bold. has in good time retired to enjoy
a modest competency in repose. Your
wealtky London tradesman, now, who has
grown rich beneath the shadow of st.
Paul's. If he retires at all before death OF
disease puts him suddenly hors de combat,
flies off 10 spend his fortune al Brighton, or
Bath. or Cheltenham anywhere rather than
in the great Metropolis where he has made
it. But Ii. Chapoulot. like the true Partisan
he is. will never desert his Ville Lumiere,
and has retired no farther than from the
bustle of the boulevards 10 the more peaceful
Rue de Ia Trocadero.
There he now lives with lits only daughter
Charlotte and an old faithful servant OF
the family. and Il is the former whom he
is at this moment impatlently awaiting.
1t is dinner-time with the ChapOulOts,
who dine at six. One might see IL by the
snowy tabie-cloth, the neatly rolled servi-
cites, with theiriittle ivory rings; the plates,

Partisan what tea and coffee and beer,

on the way to or from the station, he had TO
nod, smile, touch his hat, or wink to every
one he met. The fact was he liked everyone
and everyone liked him. This popularity
gave rise to prcrogatives and privileges.
Pirotou liked talking, and he was decidedly
more familiar than one expects Il waiter
to be; but it all came SO naturally to him
that, somehow, everyone took it in good
part.
When the table d'hote dinner was over,
the things all cleared away, and the

a fancy to happened to be still there, why
he would make his wa across Thereon and

Glad IT Mns n Girl.

When people envy the state eofsovereigns-
perhaps few people do that tnOwadays-they
forget that royal personages have very few
of the ordinary private joys ofhfe, for which
every human soul is hungry. A touching
remark is attributed to the Gear OF Russia
apropos of the recent birth of a princess in
his house. When the imperial chamber
lain presented TO the czar his congratula-
uons after this event, the car replied:
"Yes. we are very glad, the czarina and T..

said brother, yet he adored him all the
same. He spoke of him always In the same
way without any vanity, but simply that
he could not help mentioning him, just as
a vine-dresserm must speak about the weather
and the sun. 1t was the subject always
uppermost in his thoughts, and he would
frequently take up his thread again hours
after and go on just as though he had
never left it.
