' GOOD FATHER MATHEW.
How He Mode Things Plenum For an
Amateur Band.
Justin McCarthy tells an anecdote of
Father Mathew which well illustrates
the kindly churncler of that good man:
“I can remember well how in lite fur’
off dnys of Fnther Mnthew's temper-
ance movement every tenuiernnee fliiFi'l-
cintion prided itself upon its hand. Fo-
ther Mathew encouraged this artistic
feeling. and was very patient with the
defeats of execution which occasionally
followed even the most musical inten-
tions.
“lie was entertained once at n ten
tnceiingin usmnll enuntrytown. There
won it band, and the bond struck’ up for
his griititicntimt on air from one of
Moore's nwlodit-s. Father Mathew made
every expression of delight.
“There was n pause, and then the
band begun again—the some air. An-
other pause. and still the some familiar
tnnc. (hie of the guests, to whom no
particular reflection had iwcurrcd. sug-
gested in an ill starred moment that
Father Mathew should be allowed to
select his own favorite air for the next
performance.
“The good father had. however, long
since grasped the Whole manning of the
situation. He rose and smiled his sweet,
winning smile. and declared that he
liked sotnnch the air they had jugt been
listening to that for his part hd would
prefer to hear that and nothing but that
for the whole evening. ‘
"Di-or Father Mathew! How he won
the hearts of that orchestral How he
softened ntvuy all dilllculties and re-
lieved all distressed minds! The band
was made up of very young men; it
had been practicing but a short time. ‘
and rose to the performance of only one '
single nir. Father Mathew had guessed
this almost from the first. and made
things pleasant for every one. "
