The Curfew Bell of the Past and tho
Present-Sonle Decidedly Queer Riv-
ers Those DON'T DAVIS,

III few places i'll our country there
has been u partial return to the ancient
custom of the curfew. Tho young folk,
who arc now tho ones principally af-
fected by this, may be interested in
what an English writer has to say on
the curfew bell i'll that country, where
Ill the oldcn timo its ringing regulated
the outgoings and incomings of old as
well as young:
Although the custom has nearly been
dropped there are still IL few places
where tho curfew bell is rung twice
daily. Ono of these is Sandwich, in
Kent. Lately it has been proposed to
discontinue tae morning curfcw, which
has for centuries been rung there be-
tween the hours of and .. 1t is re-
garded us 4 nuisance by the inhabitants.
Some years ago list was made of
the places Thcrc the curfew was rung.
ana people rcckoncd up more than GO,
but the number now is much less. In
1870 the newspapers told us that i'll one
town at loast-namely, ;Stratford- on
Avon-tho old custom, which had been
given up, was rcstoretl-and curfcw rung
again, the bell being that which was
used ut Sllakespcarc's funeral
Some have supposed that the curfew
was not known i'll England till William
the Conqueror became king, and that it
was plan of his to vcx the Anglo-Sax
ons, but there is no doubt that the ring
ing of this bell was custom practiced
long before tho Normans settled here.
Indeed the reason for rule of the sort
Is quite evident when we recollect that
Ill the oldcn time all the houses were
built OF wood and that they had no
chlnneys, the smoke coming out through
holo i'll the roof. All King William
dld WAS to be moro strict in obliyiny
the people To obey the law The ringing
OF tho curfcw bell ut O'Clock in the
evening meant that all fires and lights
were to be put out, and so everybody
went home TO bed. Then the morllin:,
curfew, runS about i, gave leave to
light fires. This seems rather early to
begin the day, but in summer, if not
also III winter, our ancestors did get III
at or before D.
Why was this bell called the curfew:
think we may he almost sure thar it
took the name from an article which
people used tn put out Il fire suddenly.
In Il few collections of old household
articles there may still be seen this
cover or treplate, the curfew, properly
couvrc feu Cover fire., which was made
OF copper. We should now call it a sort
OF cXtinguisher. 1t was about 10 inches
high and IL inches round Having
raked all the nElberS into the middle of
the hearth (for of course they had no
grates) the folk popped the curfew over
them. and the fire soon died out

the Constitution, and aspersed the
courts, and vilified the nations flag;
a faction which set up what is called
it's conscience against the most august
of constituted authorities and the
most sacred of convenanted obliga-
tions; which lightly doffed aside all
laws, human or divine, and called
for a new Bible and a new God; a
faction which had launched against
the South the most ferocious and the
most fearless of its fanatical free
booters-a man of iron nerve and
bloody hand, who became at last
their chosen divinity, and whose
name and fame united to inspire the
battlesong of their marauding armies.

liberty-loving and law-abiding people.

dom, for civil privileges and social
order, for liberty linked with law.
