Novel Halloween Sports.

Hallowe en- will soon be here. How to
spend the evening is the question. And
it Is answered in a thousand ways. 1t
ought to be according to tradition.
This is the way Virginia lady, now
living in Baltimore, says it ought to be
done; and in Virginia the night is OBJ
served more closely than elsewhere, prob
ably /:
The best place for such merry max
ing is an old fashioned attic, which ex-
tends the entire length of the house. The
room should be lighted by candles, some
burning in Jack-o' lanterns having as
grotesque and ghostly faces as 1t is posi-
bic to make. and others under bright
shades. Let the decorations consist Of
autumn leaves and festoons of nuts; and 1t
is really more enjoyable not to have the
refreshments served in the usual way; but,
instead, to have the fruit, nuts, candies
and cider arranged in fancy dishes every
where about the room, so that every one
can help himself at any time he wishes.
Remember that, for this evening, formal
ity is to be laid aside, and that the more
nonsense. the more fun. When apples
are eaten. save the seeds, SO that you can
try the 'apple-seed trick Of sticking an
appe-seed on each eyelid and naming each
seed The person whose name is given
to the seed that sticks the longest will
stick to you through life. Put three
candles at an open window, each candle
named for sweetheart, and then watch
and see which will puff out first, and show
fickleness, and which flicker and flicker
in the breeze, and yet burn brightly the
next moment, showing the one who will
ever remain faithful.
Instead of the Hallowe' en- custom Of
suspending an apple by string, hang
number of popcorn balls, as many as there
are guests, and at given signal let each
try to eat his corn without once touching
his hand to it. No one can imagine how
hard it is until he has made the attempt,
and no one can do it with a sober face.
As the guests bid the hostess adieu, let
her present them with five bay leaves,
with the request that before retiring they
pin them on their pillow, one on each cor
ner and one in the middle, giving some
name Of the opposite sex to every leaf
The one of whom the sleeper dreams IS the
destined wife or husband,

SEE MORNING BREAK.

Written for the Democratic Advocate
By c. sHIPLEY.
See morning break
The light streams forth as from Judea's hills
Awake my soul, awake
Mid scenes like this my breast with gadness thrills.
See morning break
The rosy dawn is mingling with the blue;
The birds their perch forsake
And trill their gladsome notes of joy anew.
o, mourning heart,
Your load of care lay for the time aside;
Bid gloom afar depart
1.-THE stream is caImest when it nears the tide
See morning break
Far Ger the blue waves of the placid bay
The cry of the corn crake
In shrillest note is heard as breaks the day.
o, glorious scene!
That makes earth beautiful and fills our souls
With joy and peace within,
As care with all its burden from us rolls.
Heart grieve no more
Soon will the morning break for thee and thine,
Upon fairer shore,
Amid the glorious scenes of bliss divine.
o, haste the time
That morn-the morn of peace-may break for me
Within that healthful cline,
Beyond the confines of the Jasper Sea.

in Clyde, Ohio. where he was accused OF
embezz!cment and lost his job.
In the Clewett suit against the House
Of the Good Shepherd his services were
brought into rcquisition by the plain
tiifs attorney who wanted to show that
no oath is binding on the conscicnces
OF Catholics when the interests OF the
church are involved. The evidence
given by Rudolph was, of course,
against the church. Several books en-
Catholic theology. embracing the works
OF Curry and Ligouri, were cited by the
cX-priest. The evidence was objected
to by the attorneys for the defense and
ruled out by the courl as being circle
want and imn,Aterial." Nctwithstand-
ing this. the attorney for the plaintiff
persisted in asking questions and the
witness continued to answer them In
View OF that fact, and for the instruc
tiol OF TIL. jury. the defense is justified
in placing Gil the stand recognized ALL
thofty on canon law to remove any
wrong impression that may remain on
the minds CT the jurors after hearing
Rudollh's testimony. The ex-priest is
not reliable witness on ecclesiastical
law. He is certainly prejudccd against
the church that cast him from her
bosom and has no qualms of conscience
in misrepresenting her doctrines. He
does not claim to he doctor of divin-
Of
tellectual force. even though he may
possess q smattering Of several Ian
guases. Considering all this, it may be
we'll to produce a competent Catholic
authority to expose the ignorance and
dishonesty OF such man as Rudolph
whose evidence may be taken into con-
sideration by the jury. From CHANGING
over the iurymen's names one cannot
discover whether there is a Catholic
among them. If they are devoid OF
prejudice against the church and bring
in Il verdict of acQuittal it will be a
splendid vindiratiOn of the House of
the Good Shepherd. IT, on the othsr
hand. there is Il man among them who
pelleNes on 'he Bare statement OF Butts
and Rudolph that Il Catholic witness
is not deserving of crcdence in matters
relating to tho church, it is advisable
that he lie disabus.d OF that erroneous
notion by opposite testimony.
AS far as the case has gene every
thing looks favorable for the defend
art. The plaintiff has frequently con-
lradcted what she testified to on the
first trial. Her attorney has been maIa
to apologize to the court, jury and de-
PENDANTS attorneys fer his reprehen-
sbIo method of conducting the case,
The case is closely watched by the pub-
lie and unless there are bigots on the
jury the verdict will be unanimous for
the institution. There is not the slight
est probability that the verdict will be
against it.
