South Amboy, June 1:-While
no formal action has been taken in
the matter, 1t is believed that the
common council will grant permits
sion for the parties Interested In
Morgan Heights to connect with the
South Amboy water mains. This is
a plain business proposition, and If
the Morgan people are willing to lay
the pipes. or induce Perth Amboy to
do so, South Amboy would do well to
permit the connection, supplying the
zion in rates on account OF the in
crease in consumption. Further than
sthis 1t would not seem advisable to
do anything more at the present
time

THE CHRISTMAS PRAYER.

On stockings filled, beside the fire,
On ropes of green and holly red,
The moon her radiant light had shed
It fills the room with mellowed rays,
And seems holy light therein.
And l, my Christmas tasks all done,
In this deep silence, kneeling pray
That heaven, too, its blessings may
Add to the gifts of human hands,
The peace, good will to all mankind.
The peace that quiets human grief,
The heaven-sent due to cool our woe;
And on this Christmas Day to show
The kind good will of each to each
And helping hands to those in need.
Dear Lord, pray most fervently
That thus our home heaven will be;
No gift SO dear will be to me.
ask as breaks the Christmas dawn
That Christ will truly dwell with us.

The Elks hall never presented a

1T is VERY AWKWARD.

This has reference to the Interna-
tional and Great Northern passenger
depot arrangement. When there is a
crush of people coming and going
and transferring, as at present, the
arrangement of tracks, trains, ETC., is
about as awkward as one would en-
counter anywhere. Take the four par
allel tracks. for instance, that are
adjacent to and close to the depot
and then place thereon three or four

After the charity windows at the
Herald had been practically cleaned
out yesterday by the Organized Chair
ties committee, and the presents re-
moved, they rapidly filled again, and
this morning there was more on hand
than when the committee began work
Most of the contributions were by
comparatively few families, but they
have been sufficient, we are sure, to
take care of all the present needs.

passenger trains, all CHOPPED up, with
switch engines bunting cars about
and playing tag in and out over these
tracks; the general mix-up is exceed
ingly puzzling to the travelling public.
Then make up these trains, with
eight or ten cars to the train, and
vestibules closed, SO people have to
chase around them, and you have a
situation that is common at the depot
here. This morning the south-bound
train, on the track furthest from the
depot, had to be stopped twice as it
was endeavoring to leave the yards,
and wait for parties who were chasing
around both ends of the Intervening
trains. And it is very common thing
for people to be, left at the depot.
Add to this general awkwardness the
fact that there are no train signs to
guide the traveller, and you have
situation that is perplexing.
And, too this awkward situation is
frequently intensified when bad
weather prevails. Often these travel
ers have to pilot themselves, around
these trains in a hard rain. Train
sheds would remedy this
There is no other station on the In
ternational and Great Northern road,
perhaps, where more people get on
and off trains, being the meeting
point of the three divisions of the
road, where people, and not cars, are
from one train to the
other.
