of the Talmud, is devoted to the de-
scription of its observance-the kind
of oil or wick that may be used, the
manner of lighting the candles and
the blessing to be pronounced over
them. 1t was compared to the per-
petual light that burned in the Tenn
pie, and when the housewife lights
her candles, spreads out her fingers
in front of her eyes, not to look at
the light before pronouncing the
blessing, and then recites her bless
ing with some additional prayer, she
may indeed be regarded as holy as
the priest who lit the lamp in the
Temple, she, the minister of the
home, the present temple of the
Jew. Her face, wrinkled perhaps by
poverty and suffering, now beaming
with peculiar light reflected from
the burning tapers without, and
from perfect faith and hope with
in, her hands shrivelled and shrunk-
en-, now stretched over the heads Of
her children in blessing, she indeed
appears to us with all the glory and
holiness that surrounded the priest
of antiquity.
We are accustomed to hear the
praises of The Jewish home, to boast
of the purity of the Jewish family
life. But the Jewish home without
Jewish ceremonies cannot exist. The
Jewish family life is such because
of the observance of these customs.
when the Jewish woman had to hide
herself In an inner chamber or in
an obscure corner to light her Sab
bath candles. There were times when
the seven-branched candelabra was
the cause of throwing families into
the dingy prisons of the inquisition
and often delivering them to tho
flames of the autos-de-fe. With
trembling hands and frightened
look the Jewish housewife woulc

would pronounce her blessing and
recite her prayer. But light then

THE SABBATH CANDLES.
(By Julius III. Greenstone.)

Poet, painter and novelist have at
tempted to represent the beauty of
the Jewish home on a Friday night.
Its charms have been expressed in
verse, its magnificence has been put
on canvas, it's powers have been de-
scribed by authors-all endeavoring
to give to the outside world faint
glimpse of the inner glory of this
noble institution. 1t has appealed
to the pious and to the infdel, its
charms brought back man prodi-
gal son to the paternal roof, many a
hayward Israelite to the fold of his
religion. The Sabbath eve, with it's
serenity and solemnity, with its cere-
monies and romatic surroundings,
with it's background of centuries of
glorious traditions, has a foremost
place among the institutions of Jul
daism. 1t is certainly one of the
most potent elements in the long
range of influences that preservd the
purity of the Jewish home. 1t has
been the poetry of Jewish life, the
strength of the Jewish family life,
the glory of the Jewish religion.
Nothing is more beautiful, moth
ing more inspiring in the ceremonies
connected with this institution than
the candles with which the pious
housewife ushers in this sacred day
of rest. 1t is not a Biblical com
mandment, and still has been observ-
ed with anxious care and loving de-
votion throughout all the centuries
of trial and persecution. The Rab-
bis, with their deep insight into the
human heart, with their lofty poetic
sentiments, with their tender affec.
ton for their beloved faith, intro
ducd this custom and appointed the
Jewish woman, the guardian angel
of the home, to fulfill it. So i'm.
portant was this custom considered
to be, that almost a whole chapter

picket fence. and 1 remember that on
each post Of the fence a candle had been
placed and when lighted made an attac-
tive illumination. Mr. Head was an en-
thusiastc Lincoln man and by reason OF
his prominence in the campaign the pa
rade came out Of its way to pass up Wash

I'm 1864, when Lincoln was renominated
for President, ho received S,155 votes in
Delaware. but the electoral vote of the
State that year was given to Mcclellan,
the Democratic candidate, who received
about COO majority in the state.
Possibly no man IN the State was closer
TO Lincoln than the late Judge George p.
Fisher Fisher had been elected to Con-
gress at the election OF 1860, and that
brought him into the lower house at the
beginning Of the war. Fisher was man
OF fno ability, extremely attractive in ap-
pcarance and altogether the sort OF man
to win the confidence Of the President.
Fisher failed Of reelection IN 1862 and
President Lincoln expressed himself as
greatly disappointed at the result. Short

Fisher. Lincoln appointed him one OF the
Associate Judges OF the sureme Court OF

delegations l went to see him for different
purposes. such as getting the soldiers
home to vote or having the soldiers
brought to the Wilmington Hospital which
was situated at Ninth and Tatnall streets.
Among the stories which We're told in
those days about the geniality of the
President was that at one time commit
tee of four prominent Delaware Republic
cans made a visit TO President Lincoln
for some purpose which l have forgotten,
and after they had stated their business
to him and were about to leave, the Presi-

smile said Gentlemen, I notice you all

fact that all these four gentlemen were

call who they were.
We all remember the anxious times dur

and how he was loved and his untimely
death and his funeral. and now he is ele-
waited as one Of the greatest men that eevr
lived on the face OF the earth.

heard that Mayor Busse in a jovial mo-
ment had told a number of reporters
that if they wanted to pull off a bout
and stand sponsors for 1t he would have
no objection. The promoters heard of
this and concluded that at last the lid
was about to be pried open. They sent

had not secured positive promise from
the mayor himself, he had been told by
