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

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

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."
