A Night at the Normal. The Visit ol’ Two Venturesome Youth* to the llo*ertc<l Ufiitiding on a New Year’ll live, It bus long boon an accepted notion that the turn of the night of New Year’s Eve is a favorite time for goblins and witches to bo about for another peep at the world. They reckon not that hundreds of watch parties are being held all over the land. Indeed, the very danger of discovery seems to enhance the pleasure they find in these yearly midnight revels. Yet they seldom arc discovered. So noiselessly they flit obout, so quickly they vanish from sight that the probability of discovery is exceedingly small. On this account very little can be learned of them definitely; but this much seems assured, that they delight to visit places which have once been frequented by human beings. They seem to care little for solitary places unless these places have once been the abode of man. Old ruined castles and towers are their favorite resorts. .But in this country, which has few buildings that have reached a state of ivy-covered ruin, these elfs of the night must be content with any building which has been deserted, be it for ever so short a time. Tom Quincy and Albert King had been students at our Normal in days when it flourished. They had returned to Hope for a few days’ holiday visit, being drawn, so rumor had it, by the attractions of two of Hope’s charming maidens. Be that as it may, the boys were enjoying their vacation to the full when New Year’s Eve came. There was to be a watch party at the beautiful home of Miss Southey. The boys had spent a pleasant evening. The hours had sped in story-telling, riddle-working and such plays as delight young folks. At last the conversation turned to the subject of ghosts. Each speaker strove to excel all others until the hair stood on end at the recital of some of the facts. Tom and Albert were among the gayest. There was no story of adventure with these strange visitors but they could overmatch it from their own reading. Or, if necessary, their fertile imagination supplied one made to order. Finally the much-looked-for hour arrived. The clock hands indicated that the old year had given place to the new. New Year’s greetings were passed from member to member of the party, and in a short time they dispersed. Our two boys went to their room and retired to dream of home and mother, and of the home of their own which they proposed to have some day. They were about half asleep when Albert proposed to Tom that they get up and go over to the old Normal building just to try their luck with ghosts. Tom agreed to this, since he was always ready for an adventure. Quickly dressing, they fairly ran down the familiar street they had so often trod as students. But as they approached the grounds their pace slackened. What if they should actually encounter some uncanny spectres! What would they do? Sure enough us they climbed over the steps leading up to the building they could discover a faint glow of light issuing from the windows. They stopped short and their hearts leaped to their throats. They could almost hear them beating. Yet neither liked to give up the attempt they had made. With bated breath they made their way up the walk toward the familiar entrance. Shadows of airy creatures flitted across the glow of light. The boys thought their experience was becoming a lit-1 tic too real for comfort. Neither had 1 spoken a word, but each in breath-1 less silence watched the scene of ap- 1 parent revelry within. As if to break the spell Albert! drew his Watch from his pocket. It [ was just one o’clock. As he looked j the door of the Normal opened and i from the opening there rushed a ’ throng of airy beings, each bent on! a season of mirth. The boys paused.-1

We WisH All a Happy and Prosperous New year. I j Your Friends, L S. Fisfiel & Bro. * * * * *» * * *» * * The spirits, if such they were, surrounded them with no apparent consciousness of the boys’ presence. There on the snowy ground they performed the witch dance and prepared to take their flight. Just then they seemed to recognize the boys’ presence. They again circled about them and each gave them a sharp pinch on the arm. Albert felt his arm growing sore under the continued pinching. The sweat rose to his forehead as he felt the uncanny touch of the strange creatures. , He turned to run, but one of them seized his arm and held it fast. Another approached from the other side, but Albert struck a telling blow at him, when suddenly he awoke to the fact that he was sitting bold upright in bed struggling to free himself from the grasp of one who was anxiously inquiring what was the matter. In his right knuckles he had a strange feeling of pain, caused by a blow dealt the tall bed-post before he awaked. Wiping the sweat from his brow he lay down again to sleep. But he no longer has any desire for an experience with the ghost world. AMONG THE CHURCHES. MORAVIAN.
