Next Thursday, October 31st will be All
Souls Day. more commonly called Hal
low-'een. which popular superstition has
given peculiar character; no other day in
the year has such strange and varied GUS
toms. attached to it, and the charms and
spells of that night so big with prophesy to
the Scottish peasantry, are relied upon by
the youths and maidens of our own land
who would pry into the future, and
''monie lads and lassies' fates are that
night decided. IF you want to know howit
is done, read Burns poem on Halloween"
and then join party of young folks next
Thursday night. Disembodied spirits, witches
fairies and devils are abroad that night
and the general belief is that the latter
take the form of the small boy, whose
pranks on that occasion are too we'll and
sadly known by the inhabitants to need
mentioning. The ideal Halloween is eel
ebrated at-an old fashioned country house,
and the memory of the jolly parties, the
hearth's bright glow, the rosy-cheeked
apples and shiny brown chestnuts, say
nothing of the divinations and incanta-
ions are among the pleasant "reminiscences
of an earlier day. The tricks played then
however are the same that are played to-
day, and diving in tub of water for an
apple that must be seized with the teeth;
roasting chestnuts that alternately crack
and sputter and burn steadily and quietly;
pulling stalks of kale; the saucers before
the "hearth-stone ranged" and many more
spells just as sure will be tried on this Hol
Iow-e'en, as they've been before. Persons
born on hallow' cen are able to see super
natural things, and many strange sight is
revealed to them at the witching hour O.
