Bread Baking and Ghostly
Warnings.

It was in the clays ol' our grand- j
mothers, when there were brick ovens 1
in 1110 land, that Mr. Hubbard bought j
his house,?the haunted house ol K ,
very much against his wile's will. Ii
was a lonely house. It was next to a I
graveyard, which, though long unused, 1
was not very cheerful, and it had the
reputation ol a ghost. However, Mr.
Hubbard did not believe In ghosts,
was too cheerful to be depressed by
it' ? ? m 111 <r u ami mit/iiv 1111 /. 11.1 1 (.? 1...

lonely.
'Mother Hubbard,' ho said, when
his wile shook her head over the purchase,
4I got the house cheap, and its
a good one. You'll like it when you
get there. If you don't, why, then
talk.'
So the house was bought, and into
O 7
it the Hubbard family moved. There ;
was scarcely a chance lor a ghost to
show hi? lace in such a household of !
boys and girls. The rosy-faced master
of the house and his little wife had
ten of them. It was in view of the
eternal cry ol 'mother,' that the jolly
husband had dubbed his Martha Jane
'Mother Hubbard,' using it in jest at
first, and at last because of an old
habit. Hearing it, the rest of K
fell into the way of calling the motherly
soul Mother Iluhbard, so it was
more her name, by far, than her baptismal
Matrtha Jane.
Having once expostulated and
'spoken out her mind,' Mother Hubbard
gave up the point. She scrubbed
and scoured, tacked down carpets
and put up curtains, and owned that
the place was pretty; and, as not a
ghost appeared l'or a week, made up
her mind that there was 110 such inhabitant,
and even began not to mind
the tombstones. So the house was
got to rights at last, ami baking day
came about. In the press of business
1 v
they had had al-grcat deal baker's
bread, and were tired ot it. Mrs.
llubbard had never enjoyed sitting a
batch ot bread to Wse as she did that
which was to be eaten for the first
lime in the now House. 'For I can't
get up an appetite for stuff that nobody
knows who has had the making
of,' said Mother Hubbard; 'and all
puffy and alumy besides.' So into the
oven went the bread, and out it came
at the proper time, even and brown
and beautiful as loaves could be.
Mother Hubbard turned the loaves
. 1 1
upon tnoir sides as she drew them
forth, and they stood in the long
bread tray, glorious proofs of her
skill and of the excellence of the oven,
when Tommy Hubbard bouued in.
Tommy was lour, and at that ago one
prone to believe that anything will
bear its weight. Tommy, therefore,
anxious to inspect the new made bread,
swung himself off his leet by catching
the edge of the bread tray, and over
it came, loaves and Tommy and all.
All were dusted and in tho tray again
but one. That lay bottom upwards
under the table.

test. .Mr. Hubbard rushed in from
die garden, where lie was at work.
'What is the matter, mother?' he
>asped.
Mrs. Hubbard pointed to the butami
ol I lie loat lying in her lap. 'Look
diere, and ask me!' she said. 'It's
i warning. William, I'm going to be
,aken trom 'em all.' And as Mr. Hubjard
looked, he saw on the loat a
death's head and eross-boues,' as
dainly engraven as they possibly
;ould be.
'It's accident,' said Mr. Hubbard.
'Such queer cracks do come, you know.
uoiri I ret.'
Mother Hubbard was in a troubled
state ol mind. 'The stories about the
taunted house were true,' she said;
and the spirit* have marked the loal.
I'm afraid it is a warning.y And the i
oat was put aside, lor even Mr. Hubbard
d.d not dare to eat any ot' it.
Mrs. Hubbard got over her (right
it last, but the news ot the awlul
marked loaf spread through 11 ,
uid the people came to the Uuhbards
ill the week to look at it. It was a
leath's head and cross-bones certainly
. very one saw that at a glance; but
is to the meaning, people dill'ered.
Some believed that it was a warning
>1 approaching death; some that the
-pints 'wanted to lnghten the Hubbards
away.' This latter suposition
inspired Mrs. Hubbard with courage.
Lnnall) she leaned to this belief, and
when another baking day arrived, put
!ier loaves 111 the oven once more, prepared
tot cross bones, and Mot to be
[tightened by them. The loaves
baked as la lore. They eatne out
brown and crusty. Mother Hubbard
turned each in her hands. There
were no cross bones visible; but on
ihe last were sundry characters ot letlet's;
what, no one could tell, until
there dropped in lor a chat, a ccitain
printer ot the neighboi hood, accuslouied
to reading things backwards.
Q w
'ilalloo!' said he; 'that's curious!
That is curious?It e s u r g a tu ? (I
shall rise again); that's what's on the
loal?lti surganu'
'Its what they put on the tombs,
ain't it?' asked Mrs. llubbard, l'aiut'Well,
yes,'said Mr. Hubbard; 'but
it ain't so bad as cross-bones and
skulls.'
Mother JIubbard shook her head.
'It's even soliuncr;' said the little woman,
who was not us good a linguist
as a bread baker. 'I led confident,
William that 1 shall soon be 'resurgaiued,'
and what will those dear
children do then?'
And now that the second loal was
beiorc her eyes, marked awfully as
was the first, Mother Hubbard really
grew thin and pale and lost all her
cheerlulness. '1 have a presentiment,'
she said, over and over again, 'that
the third baking will decide wlx> was
the warning points ?lo, I b/''^g its
meant for me, and timo witf' show.
Don't you see how thin I'm getting?'
And though Mr. Hubbard laughed, no
also began to be troubled.
The thixd bankitA; day was one of
glouin, "flolein id ;, us to a luneral, the
lamily assembly V1* assist in the drawing.
Five lotpies," came out without
mark; but one remained. Mother
Hubbard's hand trembled, but she
drew it forth' she laid it. in the tray;
she turned l^fraoltly about. At last
she exposed the lower surlace. On it
were leters printed backwards, plain
enough to read this time, and arranged
thus:
"Died, April 2d.

'It's mo,' cried Mrs. Hubbard, Tin

there was Mother Hubbard's 'warning,'

to her family and friends, her strength
going last. fShe read her Bible and
tried not to grieve too much. The
doctor shook his head. T he clergyman
prayed with her; nobody doubted
that her end was at hand, for the people
were very superstitious in those
days. They tiad been up all., night

felt sure that she must go, when clatter
over the road and up to the door

([Front the New York Tribune.]
The verdict ot the country against
urruuinmi is delivered. Thcru were
only iwo grc.it questions boloru the
people at this election. One was
whether the administration deserves
the public coutidcucc, ami the other ,
was whether it ought to be perpetuated.
They have both been answered j
in the negative, ho loudly that even
the President must hear the verdict.
* * * it is not anywhere a mere
' Democratic victory, it is the protest
ot all elases ot eiti/.ens against an administration
which supported .Jayne,
which enriched iSunboin, which lobbied
tiie salary bill through Congress,
which established its liolloggs 111 the
boiitli by perjured judge and misused
bayonets, and tried to sustain them by
blundering an injured people, and
which had just put itsell lorwurd w ith
the insolent claim lor a perpetuation

Tile Next Speaker.
i
The most important office now un- 1
der the government is the Speakership
of the next House ol Representative*. 1
The lirst duty ol that hody will be to 1
examine into the whole course o,
Grant's administration, and not only
Grant's, but the whole time of republican
ascendancy. The duty of selecting
the men to do this will tall upon
the Speaker. When the republicans
came into power under liu h man their
first business was to appoint the famous
Covode Investigating Committee.
The report of that committee
was made the basis of the campaign
for republican ascendancy. Yet win n
we look over it now and see how beggarly
and mean and small were the
much-vaunted "Covode revelations"
compared with ?he astounding and
self-confessed frauds of so many departments
of Grant's administration,
we see how great a task now liei befr>
fore tin next House, and, above all
things, how important it is to have a
brave and wise Speaker, \\ e uiu-l

negro minstrel, that being
examined as a witness, he w as severely
interrogated by the attorney, who
wished to break down his evidence.
"You are in the negro minstrel busi

"Yes, sir," was the prompt reply.
"Isn't that rather a low calling?" d
| tnatulcd the lawyer. "I don't know bet
what it is, sir," replied the minstrel,
"but it is so much better than tn\
lather's that I am rather proud of it
"What was your lather's culling?"
"lie was a lawyer,' replied Clarke, in
a tone of regret that put the audience
in a roar. TJ^-luwyor let him alone.
