OLD LIGHTS OF LONDON.


Candlesticks of Iron Used in Illuminating
the streets.
The history of lighting the city is
subject of much interest. In remote
times the city must have presented a
very curious aspect; there was no
method of street lighting at all; the
narrow, unpaved streets were deserted
when darkness fell except by thieves,
who found in the want of artificial il
Elimination splendid confrere to help
them in their nocturnal undertakings
Notwithstanding the ringing of the
curfew bell and the order that all lights
and fires were to be extinguished when
its sound was heard it was soon found
that a city could not conclude all it's
business at o'clock in the summer, or
when darkness came over the city in
the winter. Kindly disposed citizens
as early as the fourteenth century be.
gan to hang outside their doors a COM
mon candle made of rushes and coarse
grease and these gave a faint glimmer
on moonless nights. We find that in
the year l416, in the reign of Henry ",
the citizens were called upon as duty
to light the streets, and although some
obeyed the injunction, the duty was in
adequately performed. 1t was the GUS
tom then for ancient watchmen to car
ry lanterns containing burning candles
placed on the top of long pole, thus
lighting in some small way the streets
over which they perambulated. 1t was
in the reign of Queen Elizabeth that
the fear of Spanish invasion drew at.
tention to the dangerous condition of
the streets at night. The darkness
might hide foul conspirators; conse-
quently an order in council commanded
every householder to do his part in the
lighting of the city on pain of death by
the common hangman. This order
seems to have excited some attention,
for at the present day there are to be
seen in the museum underneath the
Guildhall library several of the candle.
sticks said to have been used at this
period for street illumination. The
candlestick consists of rude bar OF
iron, having at it's back rack and a
catch by which the socket holding the
candle can be raised or lowered. - The

SOME DAY.
When the purple shadows hover
In the twilight gray and still,

When the purple shadows hover
In the twilight gray and still,
And the wing of night is resting
Softly on the distant hill;
When the bells Of sunset Ginning
Echo with eternal calm,
Like the last grand chord harmonious
OF life's closing evening psalm,
Then the toilworn millions sleep.
When the hush Of sleeping myriads
Rhymes with the sound OF spheres,
And the tread OF passing moments
Marks the end Of weary years;
When the solemn tide is cbbing
Softly from the pebbly shore,
And the ships go out OF harbor
To come back again no more.
Then We cease to sigh or weep.
When some day we weigh life's anchor,
Slowly drift out on the tide,
Death our pilot. and our haven
Over on the other side;
When the white miSts leave the waters
And we hear the signal bell,
When the morning dawns before US,
Where no midnight ever fell,
Then, be owed, all will be we'll

We have made up our minds that the
obstacles in life do not go on wings, but
have either two legs or four. The only
ghosts that glide across the room
are those of the murdered hours
of the past. When the door

we send for the locksmith to put on a
