Curfew Bells.

MANY have heard of the "curfew bel" !"
but not all know its origin. Its history
runs back to the time of William the Con-
queror who ordered bell to be rung
about sundown in summer, and at 8 o'clock
in the evening in winter, at which time
fires and lights were to be put out, and
the people to remain within doors, and
penalties were imposed upon those who
neglected or refused TO comply with the
law. This was called the "curfew," a
word derived from the French cOuUre feu
cover fire-and so the appropriateness of
the name is readily seen. The old King
has been generally charged with institut-
ing this custom in order to impress upon
his subjects q sense of their abiect con-
dition. But, as the "curfew bell " was
rung in France long before Williams time,
as a safeguard against fires, it is not i'm
probable that he brought the custom with
him into England from the Continent, and
that he has been slandered as to his mo-
tives. AT any rate, he has sins enough to
answer for without this. In the sixteenth
century "bell-men" were added to the
night-watch in London They went
through the streets ringing their bells and
crying, "take care of fire and candle; be
kind to the poor, and pray for the dead.
1t was the bellman's duty, also, to bless
the sleepers as he passed their doors. In
" IL Penseroso Milton refers to this Gus.
tom:
1.-THE bellman's drowsy charm,
To bless the doors from nightly HARM
Poets have often referred to the curfew
or cover fire, bell Gray begins his beauti
full "Elegy" with
1.-THE curfew tolls the knell of parting day."
Longfellow, too, has pretty little poem
telling the story Of this bell with charming
simplicity:
Asolemnly mournfuny,
Dealing its dole,
The curfew bell
Is beginning TO toll.
"Cover the embers,
Put out the light;
| Toll comes with the morning,
And rest with the night.
Ozark grow the windows,
| And quenched is the fire;
Sound fades In silence,
All footsteps retire.
"No voice in the cAambers,
No sound in the hall;
Sleep and oblivion
Reign over ALL"
King William died, and the original OBJ
| legations of the curfew were at last re
moved about the time of Henry l.. in HOO
but the custom of ringing an evening bel
is still kept up in England, with variations
as to the hour. The "nine o'clock bell y
familiar to most New England people
which sends so many young people home
and to bed, and which in the early history
Of our country was almost as rigidly
obeyed by all, both old and young, as The
old curfew, traces its origin directly to the
cover-tire bell. In Longfellow's EVAN
geline," the custom is well described:
'ADon the bell from the belfry
| Rang out the hour of nine-the village curfew-
| and stTdi0htl0dy
Rose tie guests and departed; and silence reignet
in the household"
