We conclude by recommending the Orphanage of St. Brigid to the
charity, not only of Dublin, but of all Ireland. It is a national
institution. In a few years it has rendered great services to the
country at large and to religion by saving so large a number of
children from error and perversion; it is conducted on principles of
the strictest economy, so necessary in the depressed state to which
our population is reduced; and it is especially recommended by the way
it brings up the poor orphans, assimilating them to our healthy and
vigorous country people, and inspiring them with the same love for God
and fatherland which distinguishes the peasants of Ireland. St.
Brigid, the Mary of Ireland, will not fail to protect all who assist
her orphans.

NO. III.
_The Rule of St. Carthach, ob. 636.--Part II._
OF THE CONDUCT OF A MONK.
67. If you be a monk under government,
Cast all evil from your hands;
Abide in the rights of the Church
Without laxity, without fault,
68. Without quarrel, without negligence,
Without dislike to any one,
Without theft, without falsehood, without excess,
Without seeking a better place,
69. Without railing, without insubordination,
Without seeking for great renown,
Without murmur, without reproach to any one,
Without envy, without pride,
70. Without contention, without self-willedness,
Without competition, without anger,
Without persecution, without particular malice,
Without vehemence, without words,
71. Without languor, without despair,
Without sin, without folly,
Without deceit, without temerity,
Without merriment, without precipitance,
72. Without gadding, without haste,
Without intemperance--which defiles all--
Without inebriety, without jollity,
Without silly, vulgar talk;
73. Without rushing, without loitering,
With leave for every act;
Without paying evil for evil,
In a decayed body of clay;
74. With humility, with weakness,
Towards uncommon, towards common;
With devotion, with humbleness,
With enslavement to every one.
75. In voluntary nocturns,
Without obduracy, without guile,
Waiting for your rewards
At the relics of the saints.
76. With modesty, with meekness,
With constancy in obedience;
With purity, with faultlessness
In all acts, however trivial.
77. With patience, with purity,
With gentleness to every one;
With groaning, with praying
Unto Christ at all hours;
78. With inculcation of every truth,
With denunciation of every wickedness,
With perfect, frequent confessions
Under direction of a holy abbot;
