FRIDAY.. -DECEMBER 10, 1875. Our Halloween. "Can't we have some kind of a good time on Halloween do something to remember this one particular night, for T'e shall never all be together again something on the soul-harrowing, blood creeping order, such as bellts the alght?" We were, a merry party of school- girls, most of whom were already begin ning to aspire to the dignity of young Jadyhood; but Just where the dignity came in I fail to remember, for a madder, merrier set never waked the echoes in lam. oiu scuooi ouuaing 01 ju , or :made the staid towns-people hold up their bauds in horror at their wild pranks. The time was close at hand when our band would be broken up. and so we wanted a remembrance of this last Hal Joween. Flan after plan was brought up, discussed, and rejected. We were about giving up, as no two seemed to agree, when Belle Brown arose in her majesty (and she was a regal-looking ginj ana saiu: "I'll ten you, girls: all come up to our house, and we'll try hav ing a supper. You know you are bound to see your future husbands if you give mem someming to eat. JNot a not sup per, you know, but a real nice, cold one: and if the spirits of our future spouses don't appear and devour everything, we can eat the supper ourselves and man age to nave a little run anyhow." Now, Belle's father was a widower, and she his precious, only child; conse quently, she ruled the house, the pood and most fond father giving up to her wildest schemes with a gentle sigh of resignation that was touching to behold, especially, when we all knew Belie got ner jove ior iun ana tier great ingenuity lor getting into ana out ot scrapes from mac same miner. Now, the rest of us made unourminds frequently to have certain doings and gatherings at home, but the making up ofourmtuds and getting the heads of tue nouse to maue up theirs in the same direction were two entirely different things. Bo most of our plans for what we called a regular "train," were very apt to come to an untimely death. But when Belle arose In her might and grasped her scepter, we knew the thing was Douna 10 go, wnaiever it mignt be, jiow we aia envy tnat eiri her un bounded power over her father and that old deaf house-keeper, who could n't hear ub if we pulled the whole bouse down about her ears ! I don't think we meant anything very bad by It, but I don't be lieve mere ever was any one so afflicted whose affliction was the subject of so much secret rejoicing and congratula tion. You see, most of us were apt to be brought up rather suddenly in our mad career by the persuasive remark of one nigu in nousenoia power "I will not nave It. This noise mustbestopped; It's enough to wake the Seven SleeD- ere." Few of utr had much sympathy ior tue aDove-racnuonea seven Bleep- ers, and would a little rather have waked them than not. If sleen and death are so near akin, I think we were waKing tnem in good old Irish style. Belle, as mistress of ceremonies and hostess, arranged the plan for our frolic. It was to be kept a profound secret from Itl i .1 .. . a ... an out me iniuaiea. we were to as semble at her house, have as much fun as we could In the early part of the evening in story-telling and earaes, and whatever else the gentleman who lives in a place wuicn snail be nameless could find for "idle hands to do." A table was to be set with a plate for everv eirl present. Our future husbands were ex pected, If they behaved as all well-bred spirits were said to, on that night, to enter as the clock struck twelve, and seat themselves, each one at the plate of mai, particular iair one wno was to rep resent all of hope, joy, truth, faith, and an me omer virtues ior nis especial edi licatlon the rest of his natural life. If any were to die unmarried, that seat would be left a miserable blank. I remember that we SDent som f Imo discussing whether we should put our names on tne piaies representing us. Some thought the spirits couldn't amount to much If they couldn't find their right places without such distinct pointing out. It was decided, after much talking, to use the names, as ona oi me gins saia, "to prevent all mis takes and future heart-aches." The eventful evening came, and t merry party we were. We tried all the projects we could think of, even to uobbing ror apples In a basin of water. As it grew later," we grew quieter. It was a dismal night; the wind howled and moaned as though all the spirits of me air were aoroaa. Tne old trees around the bouse tossed their branches in the wild air, and moaned with loud complaining, our table was most temptingly set forth with many a dainty. We looked at It with longlne cjeo, auu 11. uuu cerutimy oeen arranged more to the substantial tastes of us mnr. tals than the airy sort of fare that we are taugnt to oeiieve specters prefer. I should think the poor, cold, half-starved things would be glad of any excuse to Set a good solid meal. The house sat rather high, with along terraced walk to the front gate. It was an old-fashioned brick, with a wide hall running tnrougn tne entire center, and large rooms on each side. On one side was the family sitting-room, with the dining-room directly back. Here we aeiu ourcourc As the time wore on, our talk grew strongly tinctured with th mine mot- ural. All the ghost stories we had ever xiearo orreaa (ana wnat school-girl has not a store of them) were aired, to the shivering delight ot the greater number, although some of the braver ones did pooh-pooh them, and sav. "stuff- and nonsense." We knew they only did it w squeal wave. Ana uo, goodness! how the courage was slowly but surely wu.u uuu ay uui uuger euas l The household were all wrapped in the slumbers of the just. As the night wuic uu, cverj.uiug grew 80 still, all sounds of life seemed to have ceased Nothing to be heard but the sighing and sobbing of the wind throuch thn tract around the house, and occasionally a louder shriek that sent little shivers of lear creeping over ns. But we only huddled the closer together, feeling there was comfort in numbers and nearness. We began to grow exceedingly nervous mm eijr 4uiet,jorvno "Witching hour" was almost come. Directly the old clock in the hall peeled out, the twelve sirokes falllne with a clear ring that cut on the still air. I think wtj all held our breath till the last faint echo died, when one of the girls convulsively grasped my hand, saying, "What's that? Listen." And we did listen. I know that more strained, solemn silence was ever .ept. bbarpupon the midnight air came the steady tramp, tramp of footsteps. Through the gate, up the walk, and slowly around the house they went. Another time steadily around, and yet .another. The mystic circle of three is then complete, and as we listened with blanched faces and dilated eyes, the steps came upon the front porch, the hall door flew open with a crash, and tramp came the feet toward the dining joom. The door was flung wldo open, and, "angels and ministers of grace de- lena us I" may I never gaze on such a hideous band again J Two or three of the girls had quietly gone off in a gentle little faint in one corner. If the rest of us didn't faint, it was simply because we couldn't, for it would have been the easiest way to shut out that horrid vision. This band of demons, specters, gob lins, or auytbing else you please, Bled slowly around the table, led by one who had something like the head of a horse with the body of a man. There were ghastly, grinniug skulls, sheeted dead, and every horror one could think of. That we were not all turned to Idiots by fright was a mercy. Some of the girls were In hysterics, somescreaming,some shivering with fear. The faiuters bad decidedly the beat of it, as they were blissfully unconscious of the whole scene. This band of brothers paid litte atten tion to the uproar of the frightened gins, out cuose tneir seats, and deliber ately Degan an attacK upon wnat we had expected and rather hoped would lau to our lot. The first to recover herself was Belle, "I say, girls, those chosts eat uncom mouly like men, and seem to have very human appetites. Stop that awful noise over there," said Belle to some of the screamers, "and help me attack these creatures, ana see wnetber they are not genuine nesu ana dioou, alter all." Belle, with most praiseworthy cour age, made for the iudlvidual demon who had selected her card. She threw con siderable more strength than elegance into tne manner in which she relieved that particular goblin of his outer wrap pings, and lo 1 he stood revealed, i most promising young doctor of the town. The sight of so well known face gave some of the rest couraee. and tbe gentlemen soon stood shorn of their ghostly toggery, and proved to be a set of young fellows whom we had always considered nice, quiet young men. By this time, having taken much louger to write than to occur, tbe faint era consented to sit up, look interest ingly pale, and altogether do the wilted lily business. I'm not sure that we didn't all look pale, but would not like to be positive about the interesting part. In vain we besought' the youths to ten us now tney learned oi our irolic. Tortures wouldn't wring It from them, me evening ended pleasantly enough but we bad all been so thoroughly frightened I don't think we would ever care to repeat the experiment. We were never able to discover who be trayed us, but always bad a sly sus picion of Belle's fun-loving father. most oi tue actors in tuat scene are widely scattered. Many dead. Brieht queenly Belle had one of the saddest of lives, short as it was. But she rests quietly enough now, and but few know the story of her short, sad life. Some of the party are haDDy wives and mothers although I never heard of anv of them marrying the one that chose her on that eventlul night. Most of us parted soou after, never to meet again. But where- ever the broad earth may hold them, I am sure tuej must sometimes give I thought to our mad frolic on "Hal loween." "Stop MyPaper." Whata shock hungry, careworn print ers ana publishers receive, as. with startled eyes, they gaze upon the above message ior tne nrst time ! Starvation, disgrace, destruction and a pauper's uuriui, iikb -uuuquo s gnost, loom up be fore their vision; and, in their agony, they would flee to the offended mortal and cry for pardon, if not for themselves, at least for wife and children. Darenta. and other dependents upon their sup port. Upon second thought, they try to con sole tnemseives oy an accurate calcula tion of the extent of the damage result ing from the loss of this subscriber. Jor a weekly, there are fiftv-two num hers in a year, and two quires of paper will cost about fifty cents. The poor ujuuh spirits uegiu to revive, ana nis moral courage is braced np to meet this Eecuniary disaster.

The Lair of Xcwspapers. 1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to continue their subscriptions. 2. If any subscribers order the discontinuance of their newspapers, the publisher may con tinue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 3. ICsubsciibers neglect or refuse to take their newspapers from the offices to which they are directed, the law holds them responsible until they have settled the bills, and ordered them discontinued. 4. If subscribers remove to other places with out informing the publisher, and the newspa pers are sent to the former direction, they are held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that refusing to take newspapers from the office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of Intentional fraud. 6. The postmaster who neglects to give the legal notice of the neglect ot a person to take from the office the newspapers addressed to him, Is liable to the publisher for the subscrip tion price.
