Tide and Time.

Contrary perhaps to the idea com.
monty held, the tide" in christmas
tide" and "Yuletide" has no allusion
whatever to the ocean. 1t dates from
the period when tide" was merely a
synonym for time" Thus In the
familiar old proyerb. Time and tide
wait for no man." the first two nouns
express exactly the same idea. They
are repeated merely for emphasis, as
Is the case in other old fashioned allit-
erative phrases, like bag and bag
gage" "kith and kim" rack and ruin y
youths COMPANION.
