In V.. a, , "11 Penseroso," Milton refers to this cus tom : "The bellman's drowsy charm. To bless the doors from nightly harm." Poets have oflien referred to the curfew, or cover-fire bell. Gray begins his beau tiful 4'Klegy" with The curlew UiiU the knell of parUng ay---Kinir William died, and the original ob ligations of the curfew were at laat moved, abou. the time of Henry I, r ' re in 1,100 ; but the custom of ringing an even ing bell is still kept up in England, with variations as to the hour. The 4-nine o' clock bell," familiar to most New England poople-which sends so many young peo ple home and to bed, and which in the ear ly history of our country wis almost as rigidly obeyed by all, both old and young, as the' old curfew, traces its origin direct ly to the cover-fire bell. In Longfellow's 4'Evangcliue" the custom is well describ ed : - "Anon the-hell from the belfry Rang out the hour of nine the village curfew and straightway Rose the guests and departed; and silence reigned in the household." But now the customs have changed ; nd though the bell still rings out on the evening air, jn tile country village and city street, it has lost its power, save as a tell-tale of passiag time. Let the old bells ring on ; we love their soothing sound ; or inlthe, words of Moore "Those eVeiiina bell'T tnose eveniug oeu Sow uYajqja '''lala'TBerr iiTc"reiTs, " Of youth and ho'me ; and that sweet time When last 1 heard it soothing chime !" 0ur Boyi and Girls.
