"Harper's Round Table, October 29, 1895" by Various is a periodical publication that reflects the cultural and societal interests of the late 19th century. This particular issue includes various stories and articles aimed at a young audience, featuring themes of adventure, morality, and education. One of the central narratives is "English Eliza," a Halloween story that touches on the superstitions and traditions associated with the holiday, exploring youthful bravery and fears in the face of ghost tales. The opening portion unfolds in an old New England neighborhood where a bound boy named Obed shares a house with a bound girl named English Eliza. As Halloween approaches, local legends and ghost stories fuel Obed's fears, particularly the tales told by the adults around the fire. Eliza, possessing a resolute spirit, expresses disbelief in ghosts, hoping to reassure Obed. When a sudden emergency arises, Obed's terror about traversing a graveyard on Halloween night threatens to overwhelm him, but Eliza volunteers to accompany him, showcasing her courage. This sets the stage for a night filled with mystery and potential adventure, promising young readers an engaging blend of supernatural folklore and themes of friendship.
