Apparition of Mr. Philip Weld and St. Stanislaus Kostka. On the 16th April 1846, as the late James Weld of Archer's Lodge, near Southampton, Esq., and his daughter, Miss Catherine Weld, were walking on the platform by the side of Southampton water, they saw a skiff pulled to shore, out of which stepped two gentlemen. They stood on the platform for a moment or two, when Miss Weld immediately recognised one of them as her brother Philip, who was at St. Edmund's College in Hertfordshire; the other, who appeared to be young also, was dressed as a priest. Both of them left the platform and went up the High Street, followed by Mr. and Miss Weld, who every now and then lost sight of them, as the street was crowded with people, it being market day. However, Mr. and Miss Weld went straight home, and, on entering their own grounds, they saw the two strangers standing under an oak-tree. "Oh, papa! look there", said the young lady, "there is Philip." "Mr. Weld replied, "It is Philip, indeed, but he has the look of an angel", not suspecting that he was dead, though greatly wondering what brought him there. They went forward to embrace him, but, before they could reach him, Philip smiled sweetly on them, and then both he A Castin.

All of a sudden he awoke, and felt as though he was compelled to lock towards one of the windows, where he saw two men, one of whom entered the apartment, the other remaining outside. The one who came into the room came and stood at the foot of the bed, whom the nobleman immediately recognised as a soldier who had been his servant many years ago in the army. He was delighted to see him again, and asked him as to his state, and how he was able to come and see him, and to tell his companion to come in with him. The soldier replied that it was impossible, as he only had permission to come and see his old master. Both he and his friend, he said, were on their way to do their penance in a certain place; for, my Lord, he said, you are aware of the sins that most of us committed when we were in the army, and we are bound to do penance in the identical localities in which we committed the sins. The nobleman then asked him about the king of Castile, and if he was happy. The soldier replied that he had not seen him for a long time, as his majesty had ascended to a higher and happier region, which he hoped eventually to reach himself. After a long conversation, he joined his friend. and both vanished.1 "The sin thou art about May peradventure 'scape the eye of man; For all thy pondered plan."2 "When ocean-waves of wealth around thee roll, Nor warp thro' care the freedom of thy soul. And drives from side to side and wildly rocks. The soul in safety through the seas of life." Translated from the Greek Anthology.2 1 I gave a black letter copy of the Court of Heaven to the College of St. Beuno's in Tegeingl. If the Jesuit Fathers there would publish the chapter on "Purgatory", I think that it would do a great deal of good. 2 By A. J. Butler, M.A., Oxford. London: C. Kegan Paul and Co. |
