Ike little Candle Burning in Night.

when there was not only no such
lighting, but not even a candle-stick
TO hold the candle.
In Scotland, very many years ago, a
little boy was employed to hold the
candle during the long evenings. This
boy was the "herdladdie" by day, and
in the night he would sit in the chin.
ney corner holding and occasionally
trimming the piece Of candle he held
IN his hand The candle was also pc
euliar. i was a bit of wood, cut from
a kind Of fir tree which is found inn
bedded in certain Scotch bogs. In
some parts OF Scotland they still use
this kind Of candle.
You will, no doubt, feel sorry for
the herd-laddie, who must have been
very tired working so hard day and
night. I wonder whether the candle
ever wobbled as the boys arm grew
weary? Poor laddiel The only relief
this living candle-stick had from his
work was when a beggar came to the
door and asked nights lodging.
Then, In return for his bod and board,
the beggar was expected to hold the
candle for the evening. In some
places in Scotland even yet a candle
stick is called "puir-man,9 meaning a
poor man, and this is the reason for
the odd term.
! dare say the boys Of Scotland are
mighty glad that wooden and metal
candle-sticks are now in use, and you,
! guess, are still gladder that we have
our bright gas and electric lights to
illumine our houses. ~ Philadelphia
