HALLOWEEN. = Tomorrow will be All
Saints day and this evening is Halloween.
The observance of the evening prior to All
Saints day was formerly in the nature of a
festival, and subsequently, when it began to
be observed in England, it was there called
"N Nut Crack night" It was attended with
various kinds of games and frolics. In Scot
land il took serious turn, through attempts
in various forms to ascertain the secrets OF
the future, which were engaged in with great
earnestness and devotion. In this country
the observance of Halloween cannot be said
to be serious nor religious. The principal
preparation for it is to secure gates and other
loose articles by placing them inside, out of
the cold and under secure lock and key until
the next day, lest by some accident from the
witch fraternity they should disappear.
