WHEN O'CoNNELL RECEIVED
COMMUNION.

The piety of the great leader of the
Irish people. Daniel O'Connell, was one
of the most striking phases of his many
sided character. The Very Rev. Canon
O'Rourke P. P. in his book. THE His
tory of the Irish Famine" says Of the
Liberator that he was fervently devoted
to the holy practices of the Catholic
Church: and the same author gives this
picture of OConnell when approaching
the Holy Tahle:
1T was a sight not to be forgotten
to see him attend Mass and receive
Holy Communion in Clarendon street.
When he was at home, his habit was to
walk from Merrion Square to that, his
favorite chapel, to o'clock Mass. On
these occasions he usually wore very
ample cloak, the collar Of which con-
ceaIed the lower half Of his face. Thus
enveloped. he entered the sanctuary
with an expression of recollection so
profound that it might have been a
Trappist who had entered. SO it was
during the hour he remained; he seemed
perfectly unconscious of any human
creature being In the place, except the
priest at the altar before him. He sell
dom used a prayer-book, and his eyes
were never once raised during the whole
time. Buried in his great cloak. he
moved noiselessly out. as he had en-
tered-a bright example, very model
to the whole congregation.
