The Huron Expositor, 1891-08-28, Page 2"4- - te2 -5 - THE HURON EXPOSItOR. A BATCH or BREAD AND A PUDDING. 1 BY A. B. WARD, Nancy Newton was a blunderer, said folks,who ought to know. If it wasn't blundering, it was Worse ; and here they tapped their heads, signifying there was something within those precious spheres which Nancy's ertircium lacked. Her aunt Felicia—what a name to go with sallow cheekteand a frame like a harrtedder !—felt that she could have done better by Nancy if she had had an earlier start. For the child was ten years old when her father left her doubly orphaned, and Felicia 'Newton, spinster, was called upon to fulfil the duties of kinship, and to atone for "such a bringing up as men folks give." A straight diet of femininity, "over and over" seams, bed -making, dish -washing, Miss Newton prescribed, and admini- • stered her own medicine. Nancy took it meekly, but grew more reticent, aaked fewer questions, and eolved ' her problems by making reckless dashea at ' them, so winning her reputation, for • blundering or worse. "I declare i don't know whether you are too bright or ain't bright enough," cried her aunt, after finding the &Iliad flat cin the kitchen floor, fitting herself to an old jack the elder had given her. "But how in the name of goodness— Turn -round here." Nancy revolved, showing her small back with the lerge garment pinned across, There were slits in the clOth, where alterations were"' to be made. t` How yo tt ever twisted and turned," went on Atint Felicia tak- ing out the pins andslipping the sleeves on the girl's unwilling arms. "If you wanted it fixed, why dida't you come to rne ?"1 Nancy murmured some unintelligible response. She could not tell her aunt that any contortion was preferable, to such STI appeal for help. Eight years failed to alter the rela- tiona between the two. Nancy grew more" capable," but not a whit more confidential. Aunt Felicia openly exulted over the resultof her own training, but eyed the blenk, fair face before her with suspicion wellnigh be- come distrust. "She's glib enough out- side, makes friends. has attentions. I wonder why We two don't get on bet- ter ?" mused the old ledy. She was sixty -,eight, or, would be on the morrow. The nearness'of the festival, the promi- nence it gave ! her mounting score of yearsn brought a pensive influence to bear upon her, The old heart yearned over the young one. "Nannie," he said, gently, "I've ben telling Mie' Barker an' Mia' Skelton an' Mis' Briggs, that's cctmin' to dinner to-raorrer, how you could cook. Now, I'm gin' to la* back an' let you do it all. I won't raise a finger., so to show 'ern what I say's true. How'd you like that?" It was a delicate compliment, and tendered generously, without a hint of possible blundering. Naney nodded ap- preciatively ; " First-rate, Aunt Flicia. What you goin' to have ?" "I've promieed 'ern b'iled dish, 'carafe they don't; all of 'em get it, nowa- days—leastwise Mis' Skelton an' Mis' Briggs don't—aa' b'iled Injin puddin'. You'd best set a. pan o' biseuit doin' to- night. 'Come to think of it, we need bread ; may as well make a whole batch while you're abbut it," • There was meeting 1 that night, and afterward Nancy loitered through the • fragrant/ lanes with her eacort, Jo Barker. The vehippoorwills were sing- ing as if their honor depended upon get- ting in as many notes as possible before daybreak. A wild -grape vine climbed the rail fence, and held its fragile blos- soms out to ehe moonlight and the soft night breeze. , "Mon -in ! Ain't that sweet ?" •cried _ Jo, rateterously. "1 don't know Any- thing sweeter, 'less it's "—here the pre- caution of a glance at his companion told him to hedge a little—d"less it's roses. By -the -way, our sweetbrier's out full. Don't you want a pitcher of 'em for your dinner table toonorrer ?" For Jot• mother was one of the prospec- tive guests, and Nancy' e debut as a cook had been a thence of conversation on the homeward walk. 1 • "Ya, indeed," responded Nancy, cordially. "You're jutas good as you can be to think of it. : "Don't know 'bout that," said Jo, with proper humility. • Then the two said good -night, and Nancy went in to her bread -making. Aunt Felicia had retired for the night - *The kitchen fire was out, and the lamp was frugally turned •down. The place seemed chilly and dull after the radi- • ance without. . Rapidly, and as quietly as possible, Nancy put away her bonnet and shawl, and, brought flour, milk, and the jar of foaming yeaet. " Wish 't aunt had left a Coal or two, enough to warm the milk,!" she thought. "G-11088 lt '11 be ell right, though." - It looked promising, a round, smooth mats, firm and white as the young arms which Wreatled with it. They turned and kneaded a d turned again, with a rhythmic motion ; then she caught a !sharp knife, cleft the Mas, gathered the pieces deftly together, and, fell again to kneading.

Inert, and helpless kitchen Tith the first gleam of daylight lay the dough, precisely at low-water mark. , " That ever she'll do ?" sighed the unfortunate debutante. "It '11 never do to let Mis' Briggs and Mis' Skelton and Jo's neethee put that stuff into their mouthadl She glanced wildly about hew. The odor of a burnt sacrifice would not be pleasing to the divinity above - t stairs, w o was to be heard even now preparin to descend. ,There was no time to be lost. Nancy caught up tbe dough, bore it hastily to the flower bed, where trim geraniums left the ground open between their stems, dug a grave in their midst, dumped in the offending dough, tild covered it with earth. When Annt Felicia appeared a few min- utes late, there were no signs of the recent tragedy. ‘‘ Seems to Me you're pretty airly," said Aunt Felioia, not disapprovingly. " Breadie.? Why, you don't raean to say you forget it ? That's just like you, Nancy Newton. Now, what ever shalt we 1o' An' all those folks a comin' If I'cl had any idea you'd be so keerless ! I'd set up." She ran on and on, giving the culprit no Opportunity to tell the 000.000.0004114.4.00,1,4r, truth—at least so the culprit assured, herself. . "What shall 4 do 2" repeated Aunt Felicia. "I'll make some cream•tartar biscuit. Those last you said were good," pro-, posed Nancy. And With this the hero- ine of the day was forced to content her- self. Jo Barker made his appearance' about ten o'clock, his hands full of sweetbrier. Nancy met him t the door, and the two stood and ossiped on th el flag- stones without. great many things seemed to have happened to discuss ranee the night before. Suddenly Jo stopped in the mi at of a sentence. "What is that • ut there in the 'flower bed ?" he asked. Nancy gave a a art. fitailty premoni- tion e blanched be cheek and quickened her heartbeats. A little mound had Hort in the centre of the flower bed, and out of the top pa ed, like lava from an active volcano, th t dreadful dough. "What is it?" ` epested Jo, curiously, going te the spot nd poking at the phe- nomenon with a s ick. ' " It's—ita brea "or at least it ou risen this mornin buried it." 1 ,Jo's red lips op lungs emitted a g ter. "Oh.

She's i i the si tin' room now, but she'll come ri ht rou d to this side of the house if you m ke so much noise." Jo endeavored • anfull to restrain his mirth, but it b oke aw y and ran its course in spite of hhtt. "1 hat's the best I ever heard !" he jacula ed, wiping his eyes. "Well, we 11 have o bury it over again." , This they lattem fuls of dirt and m euro; but Encelad was in despair. enemy to Nancy's for an instrument. huge oleander pia This he seized, an firmly over the "There !" he said, '11 hold it down. . the direction of th stir it.

"Ben out for a week, an' kep' a-tellin' we'd have to go to town soon or send." Oh yes, you had,". persisted • the other. It was all I had for the pud- ding. I found it in a brown paper bag on the lower shelf in the pantry." " For the land sakes !" Mrs. Barker ave vent to a shout to mate with that her son sent up on discovering the buried ki ough. And here there was no Aunt elicia to terrorize her into silence. She nicked to and fro, her face growing purple with emotions, for which her shrieks and her rocking furnished inade- quate outlet. Nancy looked bewildered in turn. tVhat was there in the bor- rowed meal so agonizingly funny? It was some time before Mrs. Barker could explain herself, and then she exploded, between fits • and gusts of laughter: " You've—et—the—inside—of—a—pin- cushion—Pd—had—twenteefive—years. 1—emptied —it—in—the— hag—to-pick —out—the—needles—an'—forgot--to — throw—it—away." She stopped with a moan, and held her sides, completely overcome by the storm which had passed over her. Nancy laughed, a hysterical little gig- gle, with more of distress than of merri- ment in it. With it struggled a feeling of disgust; she too had partaken of the pudding. But embarrassment soon yielded to gratitude toward the merry *tont who could laugh over such an ex- perience. The blunderer had fallen into kind hands. "You're awfully good," she said as she stood up to go. "Don't say a word," replied Mrs. Barker, reassuringly. "1 won't tell a soul, 'lees it's Jo, He'll be tickled almost to death." "I'm afraid he'll tell," demurred NrcYh. Ono, he won't," said Jo's mother. "He sets too much by you." And he never did tell, not even when he became Nancy's husband. He held her eccentricities plain indications of genius. It was Nancy herself who, learning to look with tolerance upon her blunders, told of the remarkable day when she beried the bread dough, and made a pudding out of a pin -cushion. • Moonlight Courtship. The rnan in the moan is a very intelli- gent person. He sees a great many thiugs that he never tells about; but in this gay summer time won't you be a little careful that when he Woke down on you he will' be able to gossiP co the eters and the daily newspapers. about what you are doing because it i• so innocent? Won't you just remember that while the moon looks dowu on you sailing at night alone with some favored admirer he is thinkieg to himself all the time, "How foolish that girl is to go:out with just that one ma,n. He cannot talk to her and manage the boat too; and there is certain to be trouble. Why in the world did she not have a whole party come out with her ?" Now, that is a very wise thought for a gentleman who lives up in the moon. Then,when he Sees you strolling through the woods a mile from home, and only one of the moat charming young fellows in the world with you; sees you hunting for wild flowers under his dim light, aud notices the im- mense amount of interest you take in each other, he apparently shrugs his shoulders and thinks out loud, " Well, well ! What a lot of fooliahnese there la in girls, anyway. She will catch cold out in the night air with nothing around her; she won't find half as many flowers as she would if my friend, the Kin was shining bright, and she will probably trip over a atone or a fallen branch. E'ven•if she wanted to come out just to talk to the young man she is very fool- ish, because he would think she was a great deal more desirable if she insisted on staying at home and sitting on the veranda, where all the rest of the people are. He _could talk to her quietly, and he would, think how much nicer it was for her to be there than to be out ramb- ling in the woods, even with him, for if she went with him it is just possible she might go with any other man who asked her." The man in the moon is very, very wise. Ho has looked down upon millions and billions of girls, and he knows what he is talking about; and if you take his advice and -mine the little bit of sweet hearting that goes on under the moonlight will be where all the rest of the people are.—Ruth Ashmore, in Ladies' Home Journal. Sleeping for Beauty.' Sleep. is, under right conditions, a wouderfur tonic to the human system. Few women realize itsvalue, and yet it is said that Hatti and Lucca and all the great singers and actresses and famous beauties, who, like Madame Recamier, were wondrouely beautiful at an age when ordinary women retire from the festive scenes of life, have owed their well preserved beauty to sleep. A beau- tiful woman who at fifty has the bril- liancy of youth in her eyes and skietand the animation of gislhood in her form. declares thatshe has made it a rule ell her life to retire whenever possible at nine o'clock. And American women, of all classes, need the rest and refreshment which sleep can give to overwrought nerves and overworked systems. If sleep is not easily induced, light physical exercise should be taken nightly before retiring, untA the blood is di- rected into proper channels. Then upon seeking the couch the eyelids close as naturally as those of a healthy child. The knowledge which women need above all else is a knowledge of self. To study intelligently nature's laws is to enter the widest realm that human feet can tread; to outer, in a word, the kingdom of righteousness, where all is beautiful and fair, because all is good that is in conformation with the will of the highest.—Light. —The dwelling house of Wallace Williams (colored) in Screven county, Georgia, was struck hy lightning the ,other day.
