ering. Many Scotch lss,e, signing for a
swain in years gone by, nay, probably with
ip recent years, has cast about her TO
ascertain, il possible, whom her liege
lord and master was to be.
A very ancient custom which prevailed when
Hallowee EN- practices were most in vogue WAS
the lighting of bonfire at nightisll-one OF
the remains Of Druidcal or probably Scandi-
na'ian worship in kindling sacred fires at
certain seasons OF the year.
In connection with customs peculiar to
this season, one in particular may be men,
toned which at one time, in the western
islands of Scotland, WAS almost universally
to VS. that a short time previous to the
hour OF midnight on Halloween the
maiden, desirous of seeing her future
husband, would proceed at that
uncanny hour to the nearest burn or creek,
and after laying part OF her linen in the
water, would then return and hanging the
wet garment before the fire would watch for
the apparition of her future husband. II the
fairies were propitious, as they were stated to
be upon many occasions, the maidens watch
WAS rewarded with success. The customs
that still linger among us are now regarded
chiefly on account of their past associations.
This evening IN many ali American home
there will be an only too briei revival of
them, and shouts Of merriment and joy will
be heard round many Springfield fresde.
