FATHER PHIL'S COLLECTION
SAMUEIj lovek.
FatliRf Blake wes' mora familiarly
known by tho name ef Father Thil.
By either title, or in whatever capaci
ty, the worthy father hail great irfltl
ence over big parish, and there vaa a
free-and-easy way with him, even in
doing the most solemn duties, which
agreed wonderfully willi the careless
spirit of Paddy ; etifl" and starched
formality being repugnant to the very
uature of Irishmen. With all his in
trinsic worth,.Father: Phil was, at the
earner time, a strange man" in exterior
manners ; for1, with an abundance of
real piety, bo had an abruptness of de
liveryt nd an odd way of mixing up
an occasional remark to- hi congre
gation in the midst of the celebration
of the mai,rwhich might 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 foe tho se
vere Father Doniinick. .
On the Sunday in question Father
Phil intended delivering an address to
his fleck from the altar, urging them
to the necessity of bestirring them
selves in the repairs of the chapel,
which was in a very dilapidated con
dition, and at one end let ia the rain
through its wornout thatch. A sub
scription was necessary ; and to raise
this among a very impoverished peo
ple was no easy matter. The weather
happened to be unfavorable, which was
the most favorable to Father Phil's
purpose, for the rain dropped its ar
guments through tho roof upon ihe
kneeling people below, in ' the most
convincing manner ; and as they en
deavored to get out of the wet, they
pressed round the altar as much as
they could, fur which they wero re
proved very smartly by Lis reverence
in the very midst of the masa. These
interruptions occurred sometimes in
the tuost serious places, producing . a
ludicrous eflect,' of which, the worthy
father was quite unconscious, in bis
great anxiety to make the people re
pair the chapel.
A big woman was elbowing her way
towards the rails of the nltar, 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 5umP
over the rails of the altar, I think. Go
along . out o'that, there's pleanty 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
perceived some fresh offender.
"Orate, 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 Casy, down there, and
kneel in the rain it's a pity you
haven't a dacent woman's cloak under
you, indeed! Orate, Fratres!"
Then would the , service proceed
again till the shuffling of feet edging
out of tho rain would disturb him,
and, casting a backward glance, be
would say- ,
"I hear you there can't you be
quiet, and not be disturbin' ray.', mass,
you haythensf"
Again he proceeded, till the crying
of a child interrupted him., lie look
ed around quickly-- .
"You'd better ' kill the child, I
think, tramplin' on him, Lavery. Go
ot4 o'that your conduct is scanda
lous T 'Domitnw Vvbmlm!,,
Again La, lurnid to, pray, and after
some time he made an interval in the
service to address bis 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
example to those who had not.
"Here it is," said Father Phil," here
it is, and no denying it down in black
and white; but if they who give aro
down in black, how much blacker are
those who have not given at all I Ibit
I hope they will be ashamed of them
selves when I howld up those to hon
or who have contributed to tho up
holding of the house of God. And isn't
it ashamed o'yourselves you ought to
be, to lave 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? aren't you wet to tho
skin a'most every Sunday ? Oh, God
is good to you 1 to put you in mind of
your duty, givin' you euch bitter
cowlds that you are eoughin' and
sneezin' ererv Sunday to that degree
that you eaa't hear the blessed mass
for a comfort and a benefit to you;
ad so you'll go on sneezia' until you
put a good thatch on tho place, and
prevent the appearance of the evi
dence from Heaven against you every
Suuday, which is condemning you be
fore your faces, and behind your bucks
too, for don't I see this minuit a stream
o'wuther, that might turn a mill, run
ning down Micky McAvoy's back,

shirt?" . " -..
Hero a laugh ensued at lha expense
of Micky McAvoy; who certainly was
under a very heavy drip from the im
perfect roof. " - , r
. "And is it laughing you arc, you
hnythem ?" sid Father Phil, repryv-
in'ythe merriment which ho himself
had purposely created, that he might
reprove ii. "Laughing is it you are,
at your backsliding? and insensibility
to tho honor ot Ood Iftuclunc be
cause when you come here to bo feav
ed, yon are lost entirely with tho wet:
aud how, I ask you, arc my words' of
comiort to cater your hearts when the
rain is pouring fown your backs, 'at
tho same time ? Suro 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,
ana. I will inundate you with piety !
' 'Mttvho it's Father T)ominiek " vnn
would like to have coming amoug you'
wno wouia grina your nearts to - pow
dher with his heavy words." (Here a
low murmur of dissent1 ran through
the throng.) "Hal ha 1 so you wouldn't
like it, I 6ee-rvery well, very . well,
take care, then, if I find you insensi
ble to my moderate reproofs, you hard
hearted baythens, you male-facthofs
and cruel persecutors, that won't put
your hands in your pockets because
your mild and quiet fool of a pasthor
has no tongue in his bead 1 I say, your
mild, quiet, poor fool of a pasthor,(for
I know my own faults partly, Godt
torgive me 1; and i can t spake to you
as you deserve, you hard-living vaga
bonds, that are a3 insenisble to your
duties as you aro to the weather. :j 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 rafihers grins in your face
to no purpose you chate the house
of God but take care, maybe you
vrou't ahato the Divil so aisy." (Here
there was a sensation.) "Hat ha!
that makes you open your : ears',' does
, it ? More shame for you ; you ought
to despise that dirty enemy of man,1
depend on something better bvilt I sea
I must call you to a sense of your sit
uation with the bottomless pit nnflher
you, and no roof over you. Oh dear!
dear! dear! I'm ashamed of you '
throth, if. I had time and sthraw
enough, I'd rather- thatch, the placo
myself than loso my time falking to
you ; sure the place is more like a sta
ble than a chapel. ' Oh, think of that !
the houso.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 nhvays jike one.
"AiuLnow I,will read you the list
of subscribers, fend it will mako you
ashamed when you hear the names of
several good and worthy Protestants
in the parish, nd out of it too, wbq
have given more than the Cathelics."
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, w'lich wero
not unfrequently answered by tho per
sons so noticed, from the body of the
chapel ; and laughter was"1 often the
consequence of theso rejoinders, which
Jb ather 1 nil never permitted to pass
without a retort. Nor must all this be
considered in the least irreverent. A
certain period is allowed between two
particular portions of, the mass; when
the priest may address bis congrega
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",
fights, etc., are his themes. Then they
listen only with reverence. Hut when
the subscription for such an object as
that already mentioned is under dis
cussion, the 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
subscription list for the repairs and
enlargement of Ballysloughgutthery
chapel:
Mickey Hickey, 7s 6d. "He might
as well have made it ten shillings ; but
half a leaf is better tbau no bread."
"Plaze your reverence, says Mick,
from the body of tho chapel, "sun
seven and sixpence is moro than the
half of teu shillings." (A laugh.)
"Oh how witty yon are! Faith, if
you knew your prayers as well as your
arithmetic, it would bo better for you,
Micky."
Here the father turned the laugh
against Mick.
Billy Riley, 5. -id. "Of course he
means to subperibe again." John
Dwyer, 15s. "That is something like!
I'll be bound ho's keeping back tho
odd five shillin's for a brush full '
paint for the alther ; it's as black as a
crow, iustead of boing as a dove."
He then hurried over rapidly some
smalllmbscribers, as follows: Peter
Hefleritian, 1. 8J.; James Murphy, 2i.
Ci.; (two and six); Mat Doi,ovan, la.
3.; Luke D.innely, 3,.; Jack Quigtey,

"Long lifo to him." cried a voice in
tho chapel.
"Amen 1" said Father Phil; "I'm
not ashamed to be clurk to so
prayer." ' ' ' -

Nicholas Fagan, 2i. G1; Young
Nicholas Fagan, fis. "Young Nick is

Lridget Murphy, 10-v "You ought to
be ashamed o' yourself, Simon ; a lone
wniow woman gives more than you.
Simon answers, "I have n large fam
ily, sir, and she has no childers."
Judo M'oylan,5iJ. "Very good, Judy;
the women arc behaving like gintle
mcn ; they'll have their reward in the
next world." Pat Finuerty, Ss. 4d. "I
am not sure if it ia Ss. Ad. or 3., for
the figure is blotted, but -i believe it is
8s. Ad." ...
"It was threo and fourpiuco I gave,
your riverence," said Pal from tho
crowd.
"Well, Pat, as I said eight and four
pence, you must not let me go back o'
my word, bo 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 Rome one, and called out
"RaGerty! Raflerty! RarTerty ! where

ligan, of Rotindtown, 1. "And here
I must remark that ' the people of
Roundtown haven't been backward in.
Coining forward on this occasion. I
have a list from Roundtown I will

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

(Hero the laugh was louder.)
A voice, when the laugh bad sub
sided, exolainitd, "I'll make it ten

"Who's that?" said Father Phil.
"Hennessy, your riverence."
"Very well, Mark. I suppose Mat

"We will, your riverence."
