IL around the season Of
NaO the Coming Of Love as
,~ little Child there have
N1 sprung legends and be-
~ - liefs. like blossoms in

q gracious cline. which testify with
subtlety to the depth of the appeal of
the birth OF Christ. Here divinely
spiritual symbolism and there sweet
human tenderness and pathos appear.
and. blended, they evidence the world 8
belief that this was both Son of Man
and Son Of God.
An Irish legend tells that. on Christ
mas eve, the Christ Child wanders out
In the darkness and cold. and the
peasants still put lighted candles in
their windows to guide the sacred lit
tie feet. that they may not stumble on
their way to their homes. And In
Hungary the people go yet further In
their tenderness for the Child. they
spread feasts and leave their doors
open that He may enter at His will.
while throughout Christendom there is
q belief that no evil can touch any
child who Is born on Christmas eve.
The legend which tells how the very
hay which lined the manger In which
the Holy Babe was laid put forth liv-
ing red blossoms at midwinter at the
touch of the Babes body could only
have arisen from belief In the renewal
Of life through the Lord Of Life.

a trace of Christmas bounty and good
will. and he called to the sea. which.
as of old, obeyed his voice, and Been,
the city of sin, was buried deep. clean
out of sight, beneath the waves. But
ever at Christmas up from beneath the
covering waters comes the sweet call
ing of church bells buried in Been. 1t
Is legend which appears to tell in
parable that nothing which ever be-
longed to the Christ, and was dedi-
Gated to his service. is ever wholly lost
from him and alienated from service;
that ever and again something of their
inherent beauty and compelling sweet
ness rises from the depths through all
seeming ruin.

where there Is now but valley, there
was a village which, with every trace
OF life and habitation, had been swal-
lowed by an earthquake; but ever
since, at Christmas. the bells OF the
buried church are heard to ring as of
old.
A similar legend Is told Of Preston,
In Lancashire. and yet another and
more moving one comes from the
Netherlands. II is said that the city
OF Been was notorious for its black
and shameless sins. AZ well as re
nowned for its beauty and magnifi-
cence. To the Sodom of the middle
ages came our Savior on one ami

AE4NHolp Thorn.
T IL not so many centuries
ago since there was that holy
49, - M. A..u.. x.,IsoA

ago since there was that holy
Z thorn at Glastonbury which
blossomed every Christmas, and. SO
ran the legend, had done ever since
St. Joseph of Arimathea, having come
as apostle to Britain. and, landing at
Glastonbury, had stuck his staff Of dry
hawthorn into the soil, commanding 1t
to put forth leaves and blossoms. This
the staff straightway did, and thereby
was the king converted to the Chris
tian faith, the faith which preached
life from death.
The holy thorn Of Glastonbury flour
ished during the centuries until the
civil wars. During those it was up
rooted; but several persons had had
trees growing from cuttings from the
original tree, and those continued to
bloom at the Christensen, Just as
their parent, which had grown from
ST. Joseph's staff, had bloomed. And
about the middle of the 18th century
II was recorded In the Gentleman's
Magazine how the famous holy thorn
would not deign to recognize the new
btyIo CdiSuudTs WHICH udu lHtu COLlc
into force but would persist in bios
soming as Of old on old Christmas
day!
In those days the anniversary of the
advent Of the Babe had certainly
meant more to the common people
than merely time for feasting and
revelry, for giving and receiving; 1t
had been also a season for holy OBJ
servances, for they refused to go to
church on New Christmas day, the
holy thorn not being then in blossom.
So serious became the trouble that the
clergy found 1t prudent to announce
that Old Christmas day should also
be kept sacred as before. Only an
other story Of mems weak, supersti-
tious minds? True, perhaps; but they
are better who evidence some spiritual
weakness than those who wallow In
the wholly material. and when we
cease to be careful Of the cup and the
platter, We become not over careful of
their contents.

hour of the Babes birth
~ was the hour of midnight,
and legend adds that from then until
dawn cocks crow. In Ireland 1t Is
held that whose looks into mirror on
this eve will see the devil or Judas
Iscariot looking over his shoulder,
surely thought sufficient to drive the
hardest soul to thought Of the inno-
cent Babe.
Another legend tells that, on Christ
mas eve, Judas Iscariot is released
from that hell-"his own place"-and
is allowed to return to earth that he
may cool himself in icy waters.
Wild and improbable although such
and such legends appear on their
faces, they bear study and repay 1t,
for we then see that they are full of
subtle spiritual expression, as II were:
that they are parallels OF certain spir-
itual facts, and it will be iii for us
should the Christmas day ever dawn
on which such flowers of tender faith
and wonder shall appear to US no
more than dry curious specimens from
the dead roots of superstition.

BIG VAN SAVED
BY RUDDER PIN
Auto Escapes Running Off
of S. |. ferryboat.

Another automobile moving van came
near going off the back of the ferry
boat, Perth Amboy, into the Staten Is
land Sound this morning while the boat
was on its way to this city from Tot
tenville.
The van, in charge of a chauffeur,
and helper belonged to Cowperthwait
& Sons, furniture dealers, Of New York
city, and was loaded down with goods
to be delivered In this vicinity. The
big machine, which weighed several
tons, boarded the boat on the Totem
vile side on the 7;0s O'Clock trip for
this city. The van was stopped almost
in the middle of the gangway. The
two men, after the machine was stop
ped, jumped from the machine and
went into the cabin to get warm.
The ferry boat had just got outside
of the slip when the auto began to
move backward. Before it could be
stopped 1t crashed through the chain
and gate and caught on the rudder pin
which held it fast. This is the second
auto van that has been saved by the
rudder pin.
About month ago a five ton ma
chine was carried on the back of the
boat for several hours, while it made
trips back and forth between this city
and the island. After the van stuck
this morning, gang of twenty Hun
garians, going to work for Williams
and Peterson, contractors, of Totten-
vile, at Colonia, pulled the heavy van
back on the gangway.

The Hearing Yesterday.

NOpSNiui wi SppOAucHCe.J
Trenton, April 12:-Describing in
graphic language which had the
ring of truth in it, Captain James
Hughes, of New Brunswick, told how
he had made a fortune In the busi-
ness OF towing boats through the
Delaware and Raritan. Canal, and
then, how year by year his savings
had gradually dwindled away until
he had little left of the money he
had accumulated during the pros
porous days of twenty-odd years ago.
The Delaware and Raritan Canal
was at its best when Captain Hughes
made all of his money. The story
he told was narrated at the hearing
yesterday afternoon before the AS
sembly Committee on Corporations.
The hearing was conducted for the
purpose of hearing the arguments in
connection with the demand for a
reduction of the excessive tolls on
the canal between different points.
representatives from the Board of
Trade OF New Brunswick and South
River, and Representatives from va
rlous cities, particularly Trenton,
Perth Amboy and Bordentown, were
on hand to give the committee the
benefit of their knowledge of the
steady decrease In the trade of one
OF the most important waterways In
the country.
Captain Clark Speaks.
Captain w. G. Clark, the veteran
canal captain, and authority on the
history OF the canal, was on hand.
captain Clark has made a determined
hight In behalf of the cutting down
