FATHER BOYLR'S PRESBYTERIAN BELL

The good stories attributed to the late
Father Boyle are constantly being added
to, and in Washington, where he was
widely known and beloved, they are col
lected, treasured up and repeated, for it
is certain that, while they were powerful
to bring out healthy laugh, he never
gave utterance to a pleasant conceit that
carried with it the slightest sting.
Some years ago the chapel, which
Father Boyle was instrumental in build
ing in the southeastern part of the city,
bought of the Presbyterian church nearby
large bell, which had been discarded on
account of a flaw in its construction that
created painfully harsh and discordant
sound. The bell was sent to foundry,
where several inches of the lower rim
was cut off. 1t was then returned and
put in place i'll the chapel. The tones
were now exceedingly soft and sweet
and the bell source of much pride to
the congregation and pleasure to the
neighborhood. One day the pastor of
the Presbyterian church, meeting Father
Boyle, said to him:
Father Boyle, was passing the
chapel recently and was struck by the
rich, mellow tones of your bell. think
never before heard anything so clear
and chimelike. l quite envied you its
possession. Where did you get it,"
THAT is the bell, =" replied the father,
that we bought of your congregation.
SIS it possible?" said the pastor. 81
can scarcely credit it. What in the world
did you do with it to bring about such a
marvellous changer"
"Blissed it. blissed it, returned Father
Boyle, in rich brogue and with a sly,
mischievous expression on his handsome,
happy countenance. "Blissed it and got
the Presbyterian divil out of it, and
nothing else, assure you," and with
hearty laughter that brought the hearts
of the two preachers closer together they
went their several WAYS.

MY PREFERENCE.

I'd ruther be at sea a-hoatin' straddle o.
rail
Than to be a pompous keeper of my fell
low-men in Jail;
I'd ruther be the poorest pauper in the
whole shebang
Than to be mighty judge and sentence
criminals to hang;
I'd ruther be a drowned rat without nc
tail at all
Than to be the pig-head leader of the
stylish german ball;
I'd ruther be a drunken fool an ask
where am at
Than to be a stranded, broken-down,
played-out aristocrat;
I'd ruther be one-eyed dunghill rooster
any time
Than to be a cussed miser, going hungry
for dime;
I'd ruther be the thief that died with
Jesus on the cross
Than to be the one that nailed him there,
made of human dross;
I'd ruther be drafted, measley, NANCY,
mongrel pup
Than to be a lawful robber, holdin' help
less people up;
I'd ruther be the weakest, lowest fallen
man in town
Than to be the snake-like Pharisee that
kicks him when he's down;
I'd ruther be stone bruise on pickan-
inny's heel
Than to be Shiny, soulless, sordid, selfish
human eel;
I'd ruther be tollgate keeper on the
road to hell
Than to be the wretch that led a trustin'
woman when she fell;
I'd ruther have all rank disease combined
at once in me
Than to be a man afflicted with the moral
leprosy.

IRISH SCHOLARS ABROAD.

An interesting meeting was held at the
Society of Arts Rooms, London, when
the Rev. Edmund Hogan, S. j., delivered
a lecture, under the auspices of the Irish
Literary Society, on "Irish Scholars
Abroad"
Rev. DR.. William Barry, d. D., pre-
sided, and he introduced the reverend
lecturer as one who had made an especial
study of his subject.
Father Hogan, in the course of his
lecture, said that from the time of St.
Patrick to the time of Henry H. Ireland
had been the nursery of Jealous mission
aries, who had spread the faith through
many wide district of the continent of
Europe, where the names of Irish saints
and martyrs are still held in reverence.
To those missionaries also was due the
conversion of Scotland and of a large
portion of Saxon Britain. ireland, said
the lecturer, drew attention to herself by
what her children did in large numbers,
not at home but abroad. This foreign
work was an achievement of the noblest
kind, the records of which have been
preserved to us by continental writers of
early times, showing how generations of
scholars and generations of apostles
rose up in Ireland and went forth in the
world to impart a knowledge of the bet
ter life to come.
II was thus till the end of the sixteenth
century, at the end OF which Irishmen
had reached a high level of culture.
Among those who were celebrated at the
time were eighty-fve men, who were
mostly clergymen of the orders of Fran
ciscans, Dominicans and Augustinians
He placed before the meeting the
names of men who were not in the ma
tional category of biography, but whom
he presented as scholars abroad, as dis
tinguished in their paths as were Dr.
Conan Doyle's "Wild Geese" The rev.
erend lecturer then went on to describe
particularly the work on the European
continent of missionaries and scholars of
Irish birth.
He said that i'll our day it seems to be
the ambition of Balfour to promote the
education of Irish Catholics by indirect
endowment as in the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries his ancestors, the Cecils,
promoted the education of Catholics by
direct endowment He then dealt at
length with the theological writings and
philosophical, critical and scientific eff
forts of men of Irish blood who had
labored through the long years when it
was dangerous for any Irishman to ac-
knowledge himself as such.

Let others sing of unconquered Rome,
Fierce, naughty proud and free!
A nobler theme-my own dear home
Tyrconnell's land for me!
My own dear homel My own sweet

May blessings ever flow
On every cot and cherished spot,
From Foyle to Assaroe
On ev'ry rugged mountain side,
And wild, romantic glen,
On placid lake, on wood, on brake,
On bog, on marsh, on fen;
On ev'ry lettering stream that purls,
On every noble river
On ev'ry vale, on ev'ry dale,
Peace reigns supreme forever.
May God in His great bounty bless
Yea, bless them doubly DER
Each well-known scene, from Lagan

To Sulig's bounding shorel
For is 1t not noble land,
This native land of mine,
The land of true and good men, too,
OF noble Malls liner
Land of the dauntless warrior bold,
Or scholar, saint, aud sage!
The wise in peace, in war the ferce
The light of olden age!
Oh, had but one dying wish,
Then this I'd choose of all
