FATHER PHIL'S COLLECTION
SAMUEL LOYKK.
Fatlir Blake wrb more familiarlv
known by tho name f Father Phil.
By either title, or io whatever capaci
ty, tho worthy father had great influ
ence over his parish, and there vas a
free-arid -curt way with him, eveu in
doing the most solemn duties, which
ngreed wonderfully wilh the careless
spirit of Faddy ; stiff and starchad
formality being repugnant to tho very
nature of Irishmen. With all his in
trinsic worth,. Father Fhil was, at tho
earner time, a strange man in exterior
manners; foi, with an abundance of
real piety, bo had an abruptness of de
livery, and an odd way of mixing up
au occasional remark t his congre
gation in the raidt of the celebration
of the ma?vwhich raigh well startle
a stranger" but this very want of for
mality made him beloved by the peo
ple, and they would do ten times as
much for Father Phil as for tho se
vere Father Dominick.
On the Sunday in quetion Father
Phil intended delivering an address to
his fleck from the altar, urging them
to tba necessity of bestirriDg them
selves in the repairs of tho chapel,
which wna in a very dilapidated con
dition, and at one end let in the rain
through its wornout thatch. A sub
scription was necessary ; and to raise
this among a very impoverished peo-
f)le was no easy matter. Th weather
lappencd to be unfavorable, which was
the most favorable to Father Phil's
purpose, for the rain dropped its ar
guments through tho roof upon the
kneeling people below, in the most
convincing manner ; aud as they en
deavored to gt-t out of the wet, they
pressed round the altar as much as
they could, iur which they wero re
proved very smartly by his reverence
in the very midst of the masa. Theuo
interruptions occurred sometimes in
the most serious places, producing . a
ludicrous effect,' of which the worlhy
father was quite unconscious, in his
great anxiety to make the people re
pair the chapel.
A big woman was elbowing her way
towards the rails of tho altar, and
Father Phil, casting a side-long glance
at her, sent her to the right-about,
while ho interrupted his appeal to
Heaven to address her thus:
. "Agnus Dei You'd better jump
over the rails of the altar, I think. Go
along out o'that, there's pleauty o'room
iu the chapel below there "
Then he would turn to the altar,
and proceed with tho service, till,
turning again to the congregation, he
porceived some fresh offender.
"Orute, Fratres! Will you mind
what I say to you, and go along out
of that ; there's room below there.
True for you, Sirs. Finn it's a shame
for him to bo tramplin on you. Go
along, Darby Uasy, down there, and
kneel in the rain it's a pity you
haven't a dacent woman's cloak under
you, inaeeu i urate, rratrca:
lhcu would the service proceed
ngain till tho shuffling of feet edging
out of tho rain would disturb lnm,
and, casting a backward glance, he
would say
I hear you there can t you ba
quiet, and not be disturbin' my mass,
you haythens?"
Aain bo proceeded, till tho crying
of a child interrupted him. lie look
ed around quickly--
"You'd better kill the child, 1
think, tramplin' on him, Lavery. Go
u4 o'that your conduct is scanda
lous I Dominun Volnmim "
Again Le, turned to. pray, and after
some timo be made an interval in the
service to address his congregation on
the subject of the repairs, and produc
ed a paper containing the names of
subscribers to that pious work who
had already contributed, by way of
cxamplo to those who had not.
"Here it is, said Father Phil," here
it is, and no deuying it down in black
and white ; but if they who give aro
down in black, how much blacker aro
those who have not given at all I out
I hope they will be ashamed of them
selves when I howld up those to hon
or who have contributed to tlio up
holding of the house of God. And isn.'t
it ashamed o'yourselves you ought to
be, to laye His house in such a condi
tion? and doesn't it rain every Sun
day, as if He wished to remiud you
of your duty ? areu't you wet to tho
skin a'most every Sunday ? Oh, God
is good to you I to put you in mind of
ai si n t tr rriiiin' rti cnsii Kit f Pi
cowlds that you are eoughin and
sneezin' everv Sunday to that degreo
that vou eant hear the blessed mass
for a comfort and a benefit to you
and so you'll go on 6neezin until you
put a good thatch on the place, aim
prevent the appearance of the evi
dence from Heaven against you every
Suuday, which is condemning you ba
fore your facts, and behind yourbr.cks
too, for don t 1 sea this minnit a stream
o'wather, that might turn a mill, run
nmg down Micky AlcAvoy a back,
between the collar of hi coat and his
"MAY 2, 187T.
shirt?" . '
Hero a laugh ensued at the expense
of Micky McAvoy; who certainly was
under a very heavy drip from the "im
perfect roof.
, "And is it laughing you arc, you
hnythens?" said Father Phil, reprov
ing t'.o merriment which ho himself
had purposelr created, flint he mi'jht
reprove it. "Laughing is it you are,
at your backsliding and insensibility
to tho honor of (Jod laughing be
cause when you come here to bo sav
ed, yon are lost entirely with tho wet;
aud how, I ask you, arc my words of
comfort to enter your baarts when the
rain is pouring down your backs, 'at
tho same time ? Sure I have no chance
of turning your hearts while you are
under rain that might turn a mill
but onco put a good roof on tho houso,
and I will inupdate you with piety I
'Maybe it's Father Dominick you
would like to have coming anioug you'
who would grind your hearts to pow
dher with his heavy words." (Here a
low murmur of dissent ran through
th throng.) "Ila I ha 1 so you wouldn't
like it, I see very well, very well,
take care, then, if I And you insensi
ble to my moderate reproofs, you hard
hearted baythens, you rnale-facthors
and cruel persecutors, that won't put
your hands in your pockets because
your mild and quiet fool of a pasthor
has no tongue ih his head 1 I say, your
mild, quiet, poor fool of a pasthor,(for
I know my own faults partly, Godi
forgive me !) aud 1 can t spake to you
as you deserve, you hard-living vaga
bonds, that are as insenisble to your
duties as you aro to the weather. I
wish it was sugar or salt that you
were made of, and then the rain
might melt you if I couldn't ; but no,,
the naked ratihers grins in your laco
to no purpose you chata the house
of God but take care, maybe you
vrou't shato the Divil so aisy." (Ilere
there was a sensation.) "Ha I ha !
that makes you open your ears,' does
it ? More shame for you ; you oiigbt
to despise that dirty enemy of man,'
depend on something better but I sea
I must call you to a sense of your sit
uation with the bottomless pit nndher
you, and no roof over you. Oh dear!
dear! dear! I'm ashamed of you -'
throth, if. I had time and gthraw
enough, I'd rather . thatch . the place
myself than lose my lima .' talking to
you ; sure the pUce is more like a sta
ble thau a chapel. Oh, think of that !
the house- of God to be like a stable
for though our Redeemer was born,
in a stable, that is no reason why you
are to keep his house always ..like one.
"And.now I will read you the list
of subscribers, and it will mako you
ashamed when you hear the names of
several good and worthy Protestants
in the parish, snd out of it too, who
have .given more than the Catholics."
He then proceeded to read the fol
lowing list, which he interlarded co
piously with observations of his own ;
making viva voce margiual notes, as it
were, upon the subscribers, wiich were
not unfrcquently answered by tho per
. ii. .1.1.,. . p . i .
sons s noticed, from me oouy oi me
chapel ; and laughter was' often the
consequence of theso rejoinders, which
lather 1 nil never peinnuea io pass
without a retort. Nor must all this be
considered in the least irrevereut. A
certain period is allowed between two
particular portions otrthe -mass; when
the priest may address bis congrega1
tion on any public matter of interest,
an approaching fair, or the -like,- in
which exhortations to propriety of con
duct, or warnings against faction?',
fisbts. etc., are his themes, lhen they
listen only with reverence. Hut when
the subscription ior sucn an oojeci as
that already mentioned is under dis
cussion, tho flock consider themselves ,
entitled to "put in a word" iu case of
necessity. This preliminary hint is
given to the reader, that he may better
enter into the spirit of Father Phil's
m . . . I. I .
subscription list for th repairs and
enlargement of Ballysloughgutthery
chapel :
Mickey llickey, tsm. "lie migtit
as well have made it ten shillings; but
half a laf is better thau no bread."
"Plaze your reverence," says Mick,
from the body of tho chapel, "sure
soven and sixpence is mora than the
half of teu shillings." (A laugh.)
"Oh bow witty you are ! Faith, if
you knew your prayers as well as your
arithmetic, it would bo better for you,
Micky."
Hera the father turued ths laugh
against Mick.
Billy Iv'tley, 8. Ad. "Of conrse he
means to subeeribe again." John
Dwyer, 15$. "That is something like!
I'll be bouud hu's keeping back the
odd five shillin's for a brush full e'
paint for the alther ; it's as black as a
crow, iustaad of beinj; as a dove."
He then hurried over rapidly soma
small'Subscribers, as follows: Peter
Hefferiuan, 1. 8J.; James Murphy, 2t.
Gd. (two and six); M:it Donovan, Is.
3;.; Luke D.uinely, 3..; Jack Quigley,

of the parish two pounds."
"Long lifo to him," cried a voico in
tho chapel.
"Amen !" said Father Phil; "I'm
not ashamed to be clerk to so good a
prayer."
Nicholas Fagarj, 2i. C,1 .; Young
Nicholas Fagan, fw. "Young Nick is

Doyle, 7. Gd- Owny Dovle. fA.

Well

Bridget Murphy, 10. "You "ought to
be ashamed o' yourself, Simon ; a loue
w'dow woman gives moro thau you."
Simon answers, "1 have a largo fam
ily, t-ir, and she has no childcts."
Judo Moylan,Ci. "Very good, Judy;
the women lire behaving like gintle-,
men ; they'll have their reward in tlio
next world." Pat Finuerty, 8. Ad. "I
am not sure if it is Ss. Ad. or 3s., for
tho figure is blotted, but 1 believe it is
is. Ad."
"It was threo and fourpinco I gave,
your riverence," said Pat from the
crowd.
"Well, Pat, as I said t ight and four
pence, you must not let me go buck o'
my word, so bring mo five shillings
next week." :
"Sure, you wouldn't have mo pay
for a blot, sir?"
. "Yis, I would; that's the rule of
backgammon, you know, Pat. When
I hit tho mark you pay for it."
Here his reverence turned round, as
if looking for nome one, and called out
"ItaDerty! Pvafferty! Bafferty ! where
are you, Uafl'erty?" An old gray
headed man appeared, bearing a large
plate, and Father Phil continued
"There now, be active. I'm sending
him among you, good people,(and such
ns cannot give ns much as you would
like to be read among your neighbors,
givo-whilt little you can toward the
repairs, and I will continue to rend
out the names by way of encourage
ment to'you, aud the next name I see
is that cf bquira Lgan. Long life to
him !"
fequiio Fgan, 5. "Squire Kgan

the Protectants will make you ashamed
of yourselves 'ifyou donTt take care."
Mrs. Flannegaii, 2. Not her own par

of lloundtown, 1. "And hero

have a list from lloundtown I will

at a great pace, jumbling the towu niul
tbo pounds and the people in a most
extraordinary manner: "James Milli

Daly of Tioundtown, one pound ; Sam
Fiunegfin, of Roundtown, ono pound ;

Mark llennessy. Off. (uyo and

low laugh ran through the chaptd.)
"Do you hear that, Matthew, Mark,

(Hero tho laugh was louder.)
A voice, vvhon the laugh had sub
sided, exolu' iied, 'I'll mako it ton

"Who's that?" said Father Phil.
"irennt:;sy, your riverence."
"Very well, Mark. I supposo Mat

"We will, your rivsrenee."
"Ha! I thought you made a mis

penthcr." "I gave you ten, plaza your river-
ence," shouted Jemmy "and by the
samo token you may remember it was
on tho Nativity of the blessed Vwrgin,
sir, I ijavo you tho second five shil
lin's." "So you did, Jemmy," cried Father
Phil ; "I put a UtlU cross before it to
remind me, ami 1 forgot it afther; and
indeed myself doesu't know what I did
with that five shilling!."
Here a pallid woman, who was kneel
ing near the rails of tbo alter, uttered
an impassioned blessing, ond exclaim
ed, "Oh, that was the very fivo shil
lings, I'm sure, you gave to mo that
very day, ti buy some litlio comforts
for my poor husband who . was dying
in the fever !" aud the poor woman
burst into loud sobs as she spoke.
A deep thrill of emotion run through
tho flock as this accidental proof of
their poor pastor's beneficence burst
upon them; -and as an r.li'ectionate
murmur began to rise above the silenco
which the eaiotiou produced, tho burly
Father Philip blushed liko ;i girl at
this publication of his chariYy, and
even at the foot of that alter whore ho
stood, felt somethiug )iko. shame in bo
ing discovered iu tho commission of
that virtue so highly commended by
the Providence to whose worship that
alter was raited. He uttered a hasty
Whisht,, whisht!" and waved, with
his outstretched hatidc', liis flock into
silence.
In an instant ono of those sudden
changes so common to an Irish Assem
bly, and scarcely credible to a stran-
hushed, the grotesque of tho. subscrip
tion list had passed away and was ior
gottcn, and that same man and that
same multitude stood in altered rela
tions they were agaiu a reverent
flock, and he once more a Bnlemu pas
tor ; the natural play of his nation's
mirthful sarcasm win absorbed in a
moment in the pacrednesB of his office ;.
and, with a solemnity befitting the
highest occasion, he placed bis hands
together before his, breast, and, raising
his eyes to heaven, he poured forth his
sweet voice, with a' tone of the deepest
devotiou.'in that reverential . cull for
prayer, "Omie retires I"
The sound of a multitude gently
'kneeling dowu followed, like tho soft
breaking of a quiet sea en a sandy
beach ; and when Father Philip turu
ed to tha alter to pray, his pent-up
feelings found vent in tears, and v.hilo
he prayed ho wept.

O ruh-r .: Ireland ! why have you
