It was iu the days of our grand mothers, when there were brick ovens in the land, that Mr. Hubbard bought his house, and bought it very much against his wife's will. It was a lonely house, and reported to be haunted: It was next to a grave yard, which, although unused, was not cheerful, and which, likewise, had tho reputation of a ghost. How ever, Mr. Hubbard did not believe in ghosts, and was too cheerful to be depressed by warnings, and never intended to be lonely. 'Sirs. Hubbard he said, when his wife shook her head over the pur chase, 'I got it cheap, and it is a good one. You will like it when you get there ; if you dou't, why, then talk.' So the house was bought, and into it the Hubbard family went. There was scarcely a chanco for a ghost to show his face amid such a family of boys and girl9. Mr. and Mrs. Hub bard counted ten of them, all uoisy ones. Having once expostulated and spoken out her mind as to tho house, Mrs. Hubbard gave up the point. She scrubbed and scoured, tacked down carpets, and put up curtains, and owned that the place was pretty. As not a ghost appeared for a week, she made up her mind that there were no such inhabitants. She even begun not to mind the tomb stones. So tho house got to rights at last, and baking day camo about. In the press of business thoy had a great deal of baker's bread, and were now tired of it. Mrs. Hubbard never enjoyed setting a batch of bread to rise as she did that which was to bo eaten for the first timo in the new house. For I caunot get up an appetite for stuff that nobody knows who had the making of,' said Mrs. Hubbard, 'and all puffy and almy 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. Mrs. Hubbard turned them up on their sides as she drew them forth, and they stood in tho long bread-tray, glorious proofs of her skill and the excellence of tho oven, when Tommy Hubbard hound ed in. Tommy was 4, and when at that age, we are prone to believe that anything will bear our weight. Tommy, therefore, anxious to in spect the newly-made bread, swung himself off his feet by clutching the bread-tray, aud over it camo, loaves and Tommy and all. Mrs. Hubbard flew to tho roscue, and picked up the loaves. All were dusted and put in the tray again but ono. That lay, bottom upward, under the table. 'A bothering child to give me so much trouble !' she said as sho crawl ed under tho table to get it. 'Ah O ah dear, sister oh O my ' And thero on the floor sat Mrs. Hubbard, screaming, wringing her hands, and shaking her head. The children screamed in concert. Mr. Hubbard rushed in from where he was at work. 'What's the matter, mother?' he gasped. Mrs. Hubbard pointed to tho bot bot of the loaf lying in her lap. 'Look thore and see !' she said. 'It is a warning, "William ; I am going to bo taken from them all.' And he looked; and he saw a deaths-bead and cross-bones, as plainly engraved as they possibly could be. 'It is accident, said Mr. Hubbard. 'Some queer cranks do come, you know.' But Mrs. Hubbard was in a troub led state of mind, as was but natural. 'The stories about the haunted house were true,' she said ; 'and the spirits have marked the loaf. I am afraid it 1b a warning.' And the loaf was put aside, for even Mr. Hubbard did not dare to cat any of it. Mrs. Hnbbard got over her fright at last, but the news of tho awfully marked loaf spread through II , and the people came to Hubbard's all the week to look at it. It was a death's-head and cross-bones, cer tainly every one saw that at a glance ; but as to its meaning, people differed. Some believed that it was a warning of approaching death; others thought that the spirits want ed to frighten the Hubbard's away, and get possession of the house again all to themselves. This latter supposition inspired Mrs. Hubbard with courage. Fi nally, being a -brave woman, she adopted the belief; and, when an other baking day arrived, put her loaves into the oven once more, prepared for cross-bones and not to bo frightened by them. The loaves baked as before. They came out brown and crusty as Mrs. Hubbard turned each in her hands. There were no cross-bones visible, but on the last were sundry charac ters of letters. What, no one could tell, until there dropped in for chat a certain printer of the neighbor hood, accustomed to reading things backward. 'By George!' said he, 'that is curi ous. That is curious r-e-s-u-r-g-a-m that is what is on the loaf ro surgam.' 'It is what they put on tombs, isn't it?' asked poor Mrs. Hubbard, faintly. Well, yes, said Mr. Hubbard, being obliged to admit it. 'But it is not so bad as cross-bones and skulls.' Mrs. Hubbard shook her head. 'It's even solomnlcr,'said the little woman, who was not as good a lin guist as brcadmaker. I feel confi dent, William, that I shall soon be resurgamed, and what will these dear children do then ?' Aud now that the second loaf was bofore her eyes, marked even more awfully than tho first, Mrs. Hubbard grew really pale and thiu, and lost her cheerfulness. 'I have a presentment,' she said, over and over again, 'that tho third baking will decide who the warniug belongs to. I believe it is meant for me, and time will show. Don't you see how thin I am growing?' And though Mr. Hubbard laugh ed, he also began to be troubled. The third baking-day was one of gloom. Solemnly, as a funeral, the family assembled to assist in the drawing. Fivo loaves came out marklcss; but one remained. MrB. Hubbard's hand trembled, but she drew it forth. She laid it on the tray. She turned softly about. At last she exposed tho lower sur face. On it were letters printed backward, plain enough to read this time, and arranged thus: Died April 2d, lamented ly her large family. 'It is me !' cried Mrs. Hubbard. 'I am to go to-morrow this is the 1st. I do feel faint yes, I do. It is awful, aud so sudden ?' And Mrs. Hnbbard fainted away in the arms of the most terrified of men and husbands. The children screamed; tho cat mewed ; tho dog barked. The old est boy ran for the doctor. People flocked to tho Hubbard's. Tho loaf was examined. Yes, there was Mrs. Hubbard's warning her call to quit this world. She lay in bed, bidding good-by to her family and friends, her strength going fast. She read her Bible, and tried not to grieve too much. The doctor shook his head. The clergymau prayed with her. Nobody doubted that her end was at hand, for people were very super stitious in those days. They had been up all night with good Mrs. Hubbard, and dawn was breaking, aud with it she was sure that she must go, when clattering over tho road and up to the door came a horse, and on the horse came a man, who alighted. He rattled the knocker and rushed in. There was no stopping him. Up the stairs he went to Mrs. Hubbard's room, and bolted into it. Everyono Btared at him as he took off his hat. Tarding,' said he, breathlessly ; 'I heard Mrs. Hubbard was a-dying, and she'd warnings on her bakiugs. I came oyer to explain. You seo, I was sexton of the church here a few years ago-, and I know all about it. You needn't dieof fear just yet, Mrs. Hnbbard, for it is neither spirits nor demons about, nor yet warnin's. What marks the loaves is old Mrs. Finklo's tombstono. I took it for an oven bottom, seeing there were no survivors, and bricks were dear. The last folks before you didn't get them printed off on their loaves, because they used tins ; and we got used to tho marks ourselves. Crossbones and skulls wo put up with, and never thought of caring for the resnrgam. So you bcc how it is, and I am sorry you've been scared. Nobody said a word. Tho min ister shut his book. The doctor walked to the window. There was a deadly silence. Mrs. Hubbard sat up iu bed. 'William !' said sho to her husband, 'the first thing you do, get a new bottom to that oven.' Aud the tone assured tho assem blage of anxious friends that Mrs. Hubbard was not going to die just yet. Indeed, she came down the next day. And when the oven had beeu reconstructed, the first thing she did was to give invitations for a large tea-drinking on which occasion the loaves came out all right. A Leadville man fell over a bluff, and if he hadn't been drunk ho would have been killed, and if he hadn't been drunk he'wouldn't have fallen over the bluff. You can make the occurrence point whichever moral you choose. TUT? .HiDGlIE T DAY. It is Rolling Round Some old Proph eciesA Grand Picnic Predicted for 1881 "The Gospel Train is Comin', Git on. Board, Git on Board." The old prophets and seers seem to have beou determined to hustle this little mundane sphere of ours out of existence in 1SS1 regardless of the change of circumstances such an event might bring to the business interest of tho country. Thoy were wont to prophesy and prophesy, and foretell importaut events that took place in startling coincidence with their prophecies. It seems strange, therefore, that all tho wonders fore told by any of them cease in the year 1S81. Mother Shipton may have given the cue to those who came after her, in her prophetic rhyme, which every few years gets into print afresh and goes the rounds of almost tho entire press. After for telling many important evonts which subsequent developments proved to l)c correct, sho winds up her little composition with the start ling piece of information that "The world to an end shall come In eighteen mind rod and eighty-one." In view of her correctness in the past, all we can do is to tremblingly await the denoumeut In 1SS1. Numerous other prophecies on a small scale havo ventilated their ideas on the subject, but all seem to find an effective barrier to the farth er penetration of their visions into futurity. But now, as if we had not been shaken up enough, up comes the ghost of an old prophecy writton by Mrs. Abby Marsh, at her home in Sherbrook, Canada, 1787. Like that of Mother Shipton, it is writton in verse, and is now in tho oiiginal on a dilapidated piece of parchment, in the possession of Dr. Albert Marsh of Brooklyn. It had faded almost out of existence, but ono of those prying reporters found it out and brought it to light and started it on a mission of scaring poor human ity. And, by-the-way, wo earnestly advise all such, in their own inter est, to be very, very good hereafter. To tho rising generation of young men and womon we would say, sail in ; have all tho fun you can for tho next two years, then move out in the country, go west, or take to the woods. We give tho prophecy with a few explanatory remarks. Thus it runs: Columbia, home of Iibertie, Shall not twenty rulers see, Ere there shall seem to be smoke, Ere peace shall seem to be broke, And in waves of peril tost Tho ancient order shall be deemed lost. It is a significant fact, when taken in this connection, that R. B. Haye9 is nineteenth rulor of the United States, as will be seen by the order in which the presidents succeed each other. The first shall, too, the second be If the Fates tell Truth as even he; Where sits the sire as sits the son, Rut not the son's son. Aud ere the son shall ruler be One place shall send three; Three with one shall make her four (4), And there shall be uo more. Reference is undoubtedly made to General Washington's proverbial truth-telling, in the second line, and to the succession of John Quincy Adams to the place of his father in the third. "But not his son's son," seems to point to Mr. Charles Fran cis Adams, who has uniformly failed in his aspirations to become presi dent. Between the Adamses did come three from "one placo" (Vir ginia), who with the accidental John Tyler made the fourth ; nor has the "Mother of Presidents" since born a son distinguished by even a nomina tion to the chief magistracy. The first sprung from these fecund loins In death his predecessor joins; Who beneath his son shall pass And in a house that diu'erent was. The next one shall have peace aud war; The third shall brook no kingly star; When the quarter century's run, Wbere sat tho sire shall sit the son. It is difficult to interpret a portion of this extract. Jefferson and John Adams, it is woll known, died on the 4th of July, 1820, their simul taneous death forming one of the most remarkable coincidences in history; but the meaning of the clause, "And in a house that differ ent was," is rather vague. The ven erable ex-president died on tho floor of the capitol, but the latter building was part of the original one erected at the seat of government. Mr. Madison's administration witnessed both the war with England and the period of peace and prosperity that followed it; while the quarter cen tury, reckoning from 1800, saw the inaugural ceremonies of the younger Adams. Then comes who should have been be fore, A soldier who shall not have any war. "Old Hickory's" record seems to bear this out, especially the last line. The vigorous manner iu which he "sal down" upon the Nullifiers of that day, "deferred," so Mr. Ban croft says, "the approaching civil war for many years." The prophe cy continues : (1,2) After the fox the lion ahall Be lordly ruler over all; But death shall in the mansion wield Sword surer than on the tented field. (3) Afer him there comes anon, One who has friends, but shall havo none, (4) The hickory shall sprout again; A soldier come from battle plain, Rut shall not long remain, 3'or shall his heir bear sway again. (5) Then a vouth shall follow, who (sic) All shall know though none knew. Taken in their successive order the above ought to apply first to Martin "Van Buren(but why should he be called a fox?) ; second to Har rison, who died almost immediately after his inaugurationj third, to Tyler, whoso conduct caused n rup turo in his party; fourthto Polk, who was popularly known as "Young Hickory," and fifth, to Franklin Pierce, the yonugest up to that timo, and whose selection was a surprise to everybody. While the next probably Buchanan to bear the rule, . To-morrow's sage is this day's fool; North and South and East and West, The strong man shall the weak defend, But it Khali not be the end; Under the next Lincoln widows shall mourn, Thousands be slain, but millions born, Death, in the strife, shall pas him by. But when the peace cometh he shall die. A soldier aftor him shall be Who shall see his century. The horo of Appomattax is here undoubtedly referred to, and the centennial celebration at Philadel phia. But the most remarkable part of this prophecy is the following: Rule afterwards shall he got By the one who-e it was not; Men shall roar, and rage, and rave. But he shall have who should not have. When the tide of storm is o'er Four shall make ft and not 4. lie who shall be no more, And all that's past not make a score. This will seem almost incredible to many, but it is proved beyond doubt that the lines were in exist ence, and in one instance published, before Grant lett the executive chair. Mr. Hayes is tho nineteenth presi dent; there ha3 been "battle smoke" enough, in a political sense, when it is taken into consideration the re cent electoral frauds. Can the last two lines by any possibility refer to the sage of Gramraercy park. But Columbia shall again Rise, and fairer be than the sic Brother shall with brother speak Whom he hath not seen a week; Letters shall go 'ueath the deep. Likewise over mountain steep; Men shall speak to brazen ears, That shall be mouths in after years, Words spoken shall be sent thro' post, So no syllable be lost: A drop of water shall have then The force of many thousand men. It does not take a very fanciful imagination to draw from the above a clear indication of Prof. Edison's numerous wonders of invention. The alleged motor of Mr. Keely, the Philadelphia mechanic, claims to utilize a drop of water with such effect that thousands of pouuds pressure aro obtained. The conclusion, which looks very much like the timo when "two Sun days meet" or "to-morrow comes never," runs as follows : All these things shall happen when? They shall happen not before Six years shall be reckoned four, Thirteen shall be thirty-nine; This shall be a certain 'sign ; Nine and eight reversing take, (Eight and one the ninAshall make.) When ninety-two are eighty-one, All these marvels shall be done. A singular explanation of this ap parently unmeaning riddle has been suggested by a mathematician nam ed TownBend. "When ninety-two are eighty-one. "Washington took bis scat as president iu 1789; add ninety-two and you have eighty-ouc (1881). This 1881 is also made up of ones and eights, forming nines in reversed order. The "thirteen" may be taken as alluding to tho original numbor of states, which the rhymer (remember that she is stated to have written in 1780, not in 1812 or 1813 would have in her mind. The re cent introduction of a bill into Con gress proposing a constitutional amendment to extend the term of the executive to six years may cover the line Six years shall be reckoned four. Mr. Marsh considers the document as genuine, and is able to produce a copy of the Green Mountain Vt. Chronicle, published in 1813, which contains an almost verbatim copy. Now we anxiously await the opin ion of Zadkiel and Nelson Buck, the champion dreamer, and if they "con cur with the above," we shall con clude that "it's a goner," sell off our bonds and diamonds and get ready to quit even. Trojan Observer. A very handsome perforated lamp shade can be made thus: Cut the shades of white cardboard (an old shade serving for pattern); after getting a truo shape lay it upon a smooth lapboard; then at regular intervals place some pretty pattern ; use embroidery patterns ; then with a good -sized needle prick the whole design before removing the pattern; then make up with the rough side out. Paste them in shape, then wire aud bind the edges with glazed paper, cut quite narrow and pinked on each edgo. "When placed upon the lamp, every part of tho design shows beautifully.

Scvoral weeks ago fivo of tho daughters of Brigbam Yonng, late head of the Mormon church, wero expelled from tho church for tho crime of having gone to law with certain of the brethren who attempt ed to rob them. Afterward tho elders, wishiug to make peace with the expelled litigants, sent a couplo of 'teachers' to intorview them. Thoy repaired to the residence of Miss Dora Young. "What occurred thero is told by tho Salt Lake Trib une as follows : 'We want to see, sister Dora, if you will not como back to mJ 'I have received a note cal Hug on me to appear to answor a charge; what would you do?' 'Oh,' replied Brother Morris, 'I should go by all means by all meaus !' 'But I won't do that,' replied tha heiress, 'not for tho world.' 'Oh, come now, sistor Dora, don't say that. If you havo dono anything wrong it will be forgiven.' Yes, but I haven't done anything wrong. What have I done?' 'You had a suit with your breth ren, didn't you?' 'Yes. and I wish to gracious I bad another one.' 'What, with the brethren ?' 'Yes, with the brethren.' Don't say that, sister Dora; wo don't want to hurt your feelings, but' 'And I don't want you to hurt my feelings. If you do you'll go out of my house a good deal Hvolier than you came iu. I havo stood just as much from the Mormons as I intend to bear, and if you two offend mo in any way you will go out of that door which a carpenter put there for just such people.' Oh, we don't want to hurt ' 'Well, then, don't ask me to return to tho church ; you can't insult mo worse than by requesting that.' 'Sister Dora, think of your father and mother, and ' 'Don't speak to me of my father, Mr. Morris,' she interrupted. 'You and the whole church know that my father, prophet though you call him, broke many a woman's heart. If it were required of me to break as many hearts and ruin as many women a3 my fathor did, I should go to perdition before I would go back iuto tho church, and' Oh, sister Dora!' exclaimod tho teachers. 'It's a fact, and you know it's a fact. You know that many of his wives died of broken hearts, and how did he leave the rest ? Look at my mother and look at the reat of them. A religion which breaks women's hearts and ruins them is of tho devil. That's what Mormonlsm does. Don't talk to mo of my father ; I'll tell yon one thing: if my mother woreJiving at present you wouldn't dare"! do what you are doing now. You wouldn't have stolen our mon ey from us, either. You profess to regard my father as a prophet, and yet you have John Taylor standing in my father's shoes when you know he was tho worst enemy my father had on earth. And around him are gathered thoso bravo apostles all swearing against father, while in his lifetime they couldn't be servile enough. Thoy are bravo now.' The teachers were dumbfounded at the honest girl's estimate of her father, Brigham Young, and said nothing. lie Straightforward. Young man, when yon see any thing you want, ask for it like a man. If yon want to borrow fivo dollars of a man, or If you only want to marry his daughter, don't slide up to him aud bang on to your hat and talk politic and religion and the weather, and tell old stale jokes whereof you can't remember tho point, until you worry the old roan into a state of nervous irritation. Go to him with a full head of steam on and your bow ports open, like an ironclad pulling for a shore battery. Snort and paw and shake your head if you feel like it, no matter if it docs make him astonished. Better astonish him than bore him. Go in to his heart or pocketbook, or both it amounts to the same thing like a brindle bull with a curl in his forehead charging a red merino dress, eyes on fire, tail up and dust a-flying. Then you'll fetch him. Or possibly he may fetch you. But never mind; you'll accomplish something, and show you are not afraid to speak what's on yonr mind. And that's a great deal more than you would accomplish by the other method. You needn't be cheeky, but yon ought to be straight forward. Evanscille A rgus.
