All Saints Day.

Tuesday next, the 1st day Of November,
is a festival common TO the Roman,
Anglican and Lutheran branches OF the
Catholic Church. 1t is some times called
An-Hallows and Hallowmas and the fes-
tival was instituted about the year OF
our Lord Go. on the LIST Of May, in MEM
Dry Of the martyrs, and celebrated since
S34 on the LIST of November as a general
commemoration of all the saints
1t was found that the number of saints
had increased to such an extent that II
was impossible to dedicate a feast day
to each So il was deemed expedient TO
make an annual aggregate commemora-
ton of all such as had not special days
for themselves.
In the Eastern churches this festival
had been observed since the fourth CEN
fury. but in the West it was instituted,
as stated, by Pope Boniface ~. on the
occasion Of the dedication of the Pan
theon to the worship Of the true God,
under the invocation Of the Virgin Mary
and all the saints. This building was a
temple. built by Marcus Agrippa, Is b. C.,
I'm honor OF Jupiter the Avenger and all
he gods. The feast became general in
the ninth century.
The day after An-Saints day is called
AU-Souls' day, and is set apart by the
Catholic Church for the commemoration
Of all the faithful departed, for whom
the Mass Of Requiem is said and the
office Of the dead recited. In Germany
the pcople. Catholic and Protestant, visit
the cemeteries and strew flowers on the
graves Of their friends. There viii be
spccial services i'm the Catholic, Episco-
pal and Lutheran churches on the day.

DleDlN'S GHOST.

Dear wife, last midnight whilst read

I've come TO visit thee,
For arr Frognall Dibdin's ghostl"
Says D.bdin's ghost TO me.
/ babe him welcome, and VIC twain

The various things that appertain
To bibliomaniac arts.
"Sipce you are fresh from t'other side,
Pray tell me of that host
That treasured books before they died."
Says 10 Dibdin's ghost.
'"They'ye entered into perfect rest,
For in the life they've won
There are no auctions TO modest,
No creditors 80 dun;
Their heavenly rapture has no bound'
Beside that jasper sea-
1t is q joy unk nown to Lowndes!"
Says Dibdin's ghost TO me.
Much re joced to hear him speak
OF biblio-bliss above,
For am one OF those who seek
What bibliomaniacs love.
"But tell me for long to hear
What doth concern me most
Are wives admitted TO that sphere?"
Says to Dibdin's ghost
"The women folk are few up there,
For 'twere not fair. you know,
That they our heavenly JOY should share
Who vex US here belowl
The few are those who have been kind
To husbands such as We
They knew our fads and didn't mind"
Says Dibdin's ghost TO me.
"But what Of those who scod at us
When we would read in bed2
Or, wanting victuals, make q fuss
II we buy books instead?
And what OF those who've busted not
Our motley pride and boastl
Shall they profane that sacred spoty"
Says to Dibdin's ghost.
"Oh, mol They tread that other path
Which leads where torments roll,
And worms-yes. bookworms-vent Their
wrath
Upon the guilty SOUL
Untouched Of bibliomaniac grace
That saveth such "a we,

Says Dibdin's ghost TO me.

Whist things I've heard you say.
She'll let me read the books by night
She's let me buy by day.
