Jil?inuw!*",.'; r.> .. . . r .. :, u'. ! ; --?. ? CRAY MONK. One af tornojn, late in September, many y.-ai:? ago, I found myself .wauuering over one of tko moun? tains of the. Bernese O borland, with? out any conception as to the road I should take to reach my he'el in the valley beneath. It was a strange "predicament to be in. I was entirely alone, unaccompanied even.by a dog; bot. I waa not dismayed, although it was beginning to grow dusk. I wandered on, never meeting with any human being. It. gradually be? came darker, and tho huge forms of ^he snow mountains looked larger and more sharply defined against the Say evening sky. The giant --- om was at my back, with its glaciers, looking cold and grim, and very indistinct, while tho top of the mountain was lost in' the rapidly increasing volumes of mist and vapor. I was descending a water-course supposed to be dry; but it was hot really so, the mountain torrents hav? ing already begr?n, to swell; in pome ?laces it was impassable. Evidently had lost the path. I turned and looked around me in some bewilder? ment. The prospect was not ex? hilarating. To descend into the valley seemed a perilous venture, if not an impossible feat, at that late hour; and to spend the night in this Alpine solitude, sounded better in perspective than it was in reality. Soddenly, some feet above me, I discovered through tho gloom a glim? mering light, then another, and a third appeared. These lights seem? ed to me to proceed from some large building, cf which I oould not perceive the faintest outline. I lost no moro time in mere surmises, but sprang up toward the friendly bea? cons. They seemed to recede as I advanoed; the ascent became more toilsome, rugged and steep, the path winding painfully, as is the way of these acclivities in Switzerland. At length I reached; after another hard climb, an old postern-door, almost "hoked up with weeds and rubbish. Here I paused again, to discover what I could in the dim light. It appeared to be the hack-entrance to some large building. I struok at the door loudly with my staff, bat met with no other response than the deep baying of a St. Bernard dog. This ?roved to me that I had found some abitntion, and I resolved to try and discover its main entrance. Accord? ingly, I skirted a low deep wall sunk in a fosae. and tr? mv rrr^t joy, ?pc~ turning the corner, ? came in front of the building. It was evidently a monastery, surrounded by its wall and fosse, long, low, irregularly shaped, the great proportion of it hidden in trees. I summoned up oourage to mount a few moss-eaten stone steps, and fve the large bell as strong a pull as could. It resounded with a so? lemn peal, startling the air with its vibrations. I had to wait some little time before I heard the heavy door unbarred. It gave way with a clang, and there appeared the tall figure of a monk, habited in a gray dress, with a large white cross upon his breast. I told bim him my tale in French. He understood me, thou li ho re? plied in Italian, and his words were P?W|11lrt|lllll? | -| I ll I i| m Ithoaeo&elftnl ? ?Kit^ that, whoever I might be, I could reoeive traveler waa ever turned away from those doors. I thanked kim in the best Italian finger, for I was chilled to the very bones, and waa,-.moreover, both 1 hungry and thirsty. MT oonduotor ran the whole length of the building, : as I could not see the other end of it ? By the dismal light of a lamp, hong from, the coiling by a ohain, I disco? vered that several doom wera- ranged ! on either side this passage, and on our way, ? we passed ; openings reveal? ing ?ignia or stone stairs. However, I. had not time for any extended or acourate observations, and we passed these, till my ghostly oonduotor ushered me into a good sized, plainly-furnished apartment, made cheorful by a lance wood fire, that blazed, crackled arid sparkled in the capacious chimney. The fur nil . o consisted of deal settles, and a long table of the" same material, stretching almost the whole length pf the room. Bound this table were seated about seven ' or eight monks, habited in gray, the white cross standing ont conspicuously upon the breast of each. AU lose upon my entrance, and I was welcomed by the Prior, with a grave and dignified courtesy almost kingly in its bearing. He invited me to warm myself at the fire, while my supper was preparing, in so kind and friendly a manner, that I felt at once thoroughly at ease. We soon sat down to supper, a plen? tiful meal, consisting of but two dishes-boiled maccaroni and stewed chamois, or goafs flesh, washed down by a flask of pure chabalis, a wine evidently brought out for my special use, as none of the monks partook of it. The brethren ate but very sparingly; neither did they overdo otherwise, I judged, by their lean and meagre countenances. The Prior was the only one who entered into conversation with me. I found him a man of remarkable powers of mind, and possessing erudition; in? deed, he seemed to mo to be well ac? quainted with almost every branch of ancient and modern learning. I find it difficult to describe the outward physique of Father Paul, for such was the Prior's cognomen, though it made the most profound impression upon me. Even at this distance of time, I can distinctly re? call every lineament of that noble countenance, stamped with dignity and goodness in every line. The ex? pression of the face was in general melancholy, even sad; but at times a smile of rare beauty, almost feminine in its tenderness, illumined his pole features, like a ray of sunshine. His oyes, of a deep, dark blue, lighted upi when interested in any subject, with an almost unearthly radiance. The contour of the nose, chin and mouth was perfect; while the broad and massive brow displayed the splendor of his intellect and his rare gifts. When my eyes met his seri? ous yet kindly glanee, I felt at once that I could trust him; and, upon the other hand, he seemed to have some secret, yet powerful, attraction to? wards me. Upon a future day, 1 learned the reason of this. After a few hours spent in conver? sation, Father Paul conduoted me tc my dormitory. Before I retired, I had felt s strange shiver run through my frame, and began to fear that my exposure to the chill night air, even thougt for a comparatively short time, had given me a severe cold. My fenn were not groundless. I passed : restless night, slept fitfully, and nn dreams were a weird, fantastic jumbh of my evening's adventure. I wa: haunted by the countenance of Fa ther Paul, whose benign and striking aspect had so impressed me. I wok? quite early in the morning, ere da; dawn, and heard the monks perform ing their orisons in solemn an< sepulchral tones, which rose abovi the roar of the wind; it had been ai awful night, and the storm had no entirely ceased. A few days before, when upon on of my mountaineering expeditions I had slipped down and bruised m; shoulder. The injured part no\ gave me such pain, that I was quit unable to rise from my bed. Thu it seemed I must remain at the mo nostery for at least some days. I fel considerable uneasiness. How wouli the brethren like such an imposi tion upon their hospitality? Thes thought.s wearied me, but they wer soon all dispelled, when Father P?v entered my apartment, surprised a my non-appearance to partake of th breakfast ho had himself provide for me. He quickly saw the state c the case, and proved himself a phys: cian as well as a learned monk; pr< scribed for me, enjoined rest an quiet, applied a soothing lotion t my sprained shoulder, and cheere mv somewhat drooping spirits, b telling me I was not the first wai farer who had been nursed au tended by the Gray Monks. Coi siderably re-assured by his kine ness, my pain alleviated by his renn dies, I sOon sank into a refreshin sleep. When I woke, the autum sun was high in the heavens. I tho end of a week, I began slowly 1 recover, but was told by Father Pa health tras quite re-eatabliahod. Upon tiie morning of the eighth dey, though I waa still weak; I re? quested Father Paul to fulfill his promise to ^ow me orar the mo naatery. ^H^w?jM)^?y^tod re son, I w?l ?M?WiWlBpfifSt conduct yon to the lfBnSryy-^here I spend many hours every day. It contains many things of interest. You will see that in this monastery, we have not been behind-hand in learning or AJ?faEa^ihe library' a large and well-fnrniahed chamber; in this re? spect a striking contrast to the rest of the rooms in the monastery. The shelves wera well stored with books upon nearlv every subject, and con? tained a collection of the rarest and costliest manuscripts in several an? cient languages. Splendidly em? blazoned and illuminated missals, gorgeously bound, and clasped vo? lumes, met my delighted gaze. The good Father enjoyed my surprise and rapture over these rare works of art, and the time passed delightfully. At length I became wearied, and Father Paul, leading me to the deep embrasure of the windows, quietly seated me, and told me to look at the fair prospect without. I did so, and involuntarily started back. I had not before seen how strikingly the monastery was situated. It was built tipon the verge of a precipice. . .From this window, I gazed in Lo a descent of several hundred feet Below, almost invisible, like a thread of liquid silver, rolled what was in reality an impetuous mountain tor? rent, which, ' when swollen by the winter rains, rushed at head-long speed down the valley, carrying all before it. Beyond, rose the giant Alpine peaks, npon this clear day, dazzling and bright with the sun's rays reflected upon their glaciers and snow-fields. I gazed long in deep admiration, searching into the depths of the valley, until my head became dizzy, and I felt mortified that my entire recovery was so long delayed. The good Father drew down the blind to hide the bright glare of tho noon-tide sun; and seating himself beside me, engaged me in conversa? tion, and drew out of me the few particulars of my short life. He sighed deeply two or three times at its conclusion, and a spasm of pain contracted his features, while he gazed earnestly into my face, ex? claiming: "You are so like-so like." I was much surprised, and Father Paul, making an effort to recover himself, said sadly: "I owe yon an explanation, my son, of my strange remark. You shall have it; but it must be a brief one, for it is a sub? ject upon which I cannot trust my? self to speak. You are the living image of my dear young brother, long since dead! He was the only tie that bound me to tho world, and when I lost him, I took the vows of a monk. Never since then have I left these walls. Understand, now, the secret of my sudden love for you. My life will die out when you leave this monastery; yet, go you must, as soon as you are able; for it is against our rules to detain any one here, uuless ho has need of our services."!
