TIE CHIMES RING ANTIOCH"

Tho hallowed morning breaks in skies all

Each pinnacle is tipped with fame, and all
the circling hills,
Az waiting i'm the Heavenly courts my heart
with rapture thrills; .-
By angel wings upborne into diviner, purer
over my tranquil spirit steals benson of
prayer.
Then upon mine car there falls one grandly
solemn tone
BY some angelic choristcr on silver trumpet
As warder on the jasper towers the universe

Calling across the spaces vast: "Joy, day
Ger night prevails!'
~Joy, ioy! the countless hosts repeat as
They woke Judea's hills and wales with

notes slowly fall
One after one, long, resonant, down from
the shining wall
"Joy, jOy!' the burden of the strain. your
sun has risen, rejoice!
Your King has come, oh, waiting ones. Sing,
sing with heart and yOicCI'
Then in each heart sweet echoes wake, and
all their tongues employ
While hills and valleys, waves and floods ere

"Captain, win you allow a man who
Is travelling and fundless to cross the
ferry?" asked a nomad of the faretaker
of the Federal street ferry in Camden.
Such requests are common and general
" meet with the same answer:
"No, travel to Trenton and cross on
the bridge"
al will not travel up to Trenton, but
I'm going to cross this ferry and right
through this gate, with your permission
without a cent, in just one hour and
twenty minutes" replied the tramp,
haughtily. Il want to call your attcn-
ton to the fact that it is just seven
O'clock" added the wanderer.
An officer of the company put the
man away from the gate. The boats
leave every ten minutes, and as each
one departed the rover would step mp
TO the gate and in the presence of the
collector make a memorandum in a
small book. The eighth boat had left
when the tramp boldly stepped up to
the collector and handed him one Of
the official legislative hand-books of
New jersey, and under the head Of ex-
tracts from laws regulating steam ferry
companies pointed to a paragraph. The
collector read: "And be it further en-
acted that any traveller or wayfarer who
shall make application for free trans.
mission on such boats and who public
ally AYERS that he or she is destitute and
without means. shall be freely carried
on any of the boats herein provided for,
after the said boat or boats have made
an eighth trip across such river follow
ing such application"
The collector was astonished, and the
man passed on to the boat. When she
had left tho he turned to a man
near him, who had witnessed part of
the maneuver, and said: 81 tell you
typo can't be beat. That is an ex-
tract from the New York law that l set
up and took a proof of on fine paper.
Do you see how nicely it is pasted in
there? "-PhiialLelphid NelOS.

THE MISTLETOE.
Its Use at Christmas Time-The Many
Virtues Attributed to 1t in Oiden Days.

Its Use at Christmas Time-The Many
Virtues Attributed to 1t in Olden Days.
The custom of decoration by green
plants and flowers in all sorts of festi-
walls is as old as history, and of course
the use of evergreens at Christmas
needs no explanation, nor is the c"s-
tom any less Christian because it is of
immemorial use among pagan nations.
The misletoe, however, had unique
place. The Celtic peoples and the
Druids held it in the same veneration
that the Romans did. 1t was used by
the Romans in religious ceremonies,
and it may have been the golden
bough'' of the internal regions. The
DruidS gathered it against the festival
of the winter solstice with great So
lemnity. the Prince of the Druids cut
ting it himself with golden sickle. 1t
was used as a charm against evil spirits,
and excellent medical properties are
ascribed to it. 1t was supposed to pos
sess the power to preserve from poison,
and the mystic property of giving fer
tility. kissing under the mistletoe"
may have had reference to this ancient
belief. There was tradition that the
maid who was not kissed under a
bough of mistletoe at Christmas would
not be married during the following
wear. There was once notion that its
heather origin should exclude it from
the Christmas decorations; but this
found no favor with the young people
at any period. On the contrary,
they took good care that it should
be hung, and that it should have plenty
of berries, for the ceremony under it
was not duly performed if berry was
not plucked off with each kiss, and
consequently the supply of berries de-
termined the number of kisses. 1t did
not need the Roman use of the plant to
recommend such preventive of the
state of old-maidism. Some trace the
use of green bush decoration to the
original branches of vervain among
the Romans. With Romans and DruidS
the vervain was panacea for every i'll,
and they believed, above all, that 1T

is gathered from the hawthorn, the old
apple-tree, the lime and the fir, and
from. other trees. OF late years this
parasite has been scarcer than formerly,
and efforts have been made to propa-
gate il. This is done by cl aiming off
the bark under any joint of young
tree with the moistened thumb, and
then pressing the glutinous berry on
the cleaned place till it adheres to the
bark; it will begin to show growth in
about fifteen months. 1t is an obvious
suggestion that in sections of the coun-
try where the statistics show falling
off in marriages this plant ought not to

last evening that was in many respects
highly entertaining. For the Humpty-
Dumpty pantomime IL was Just about the
same as last year. But the "Noyelties OF
the Season" were all very good, and many
Of them excellent.
Notable amongst the special les were the
musical solos and duets between Messrs.
Dewitt and kirwan. Unlike the usual clap
trap OF sO-callcd versatile musical ''artists y
who play on a variety Of known and uu-
known instruments in very ordinary and
unmusical manner, these gentlemen eX-
hbited an astonishing degree Of excellence
in execution on cornet, flute, plccalo, and
other Instruments.
The horizontal.bar performance OF Mr.
Frank Lorbcry was simply wonderful
while as acrobatS the LeOnhardt brother
gave finished exhibition OF remarkable
muscular powers. Miss Myers is unsur
passed in her "luggling on the slack wire,
and altogether the entertainment is wei
