WHAT TE1', HARVEST WAS. 0 "POUND PA,]TTES" AND T711E11n PEILS. I-low tho Righteous Could not Stand on Slippory Placos--A Valuable Hint to all Afflicted With Surprise Parties. fi-om the Xuc York Times. Most good boys dio young. This is t beautiful provision of nature. When we read a memoir of a truly good small boy, and think how un-1 uttorably tedious he must have boen I and how much his pareits m1ust havo suffored from his incapacity to thrill them with the crash of furni ture and the swOet music of the tin horn, wo can scarcely feel too thmnk, ful that he is securely buried. Rev. Mr. Sawyer, of Vest Brook field, Vermont, possesses a unique tielsllre in the pervol of a small boy whose inventivo powers and t dovotion to his parents have rarely been paralleled. In Northern Vermont that peeu- I liar form of a social outrage formerly known as a ' surprise party," but of lato commonly (alled a "Bulgarian atrocitv," is still lamentably fre quent. On a cold evening in the a first week of the present month, Mr. c Sawyer and his family were sea ted quietly by their social hearth, en oying one another's society. The clergynmmi was reading aloud the Biehop's pastoral letter ; his wifo was busily calculating how to cut up her husband's old overcoat so as to supply him with a new waistooat, c herself with a now overskirt, and t Master Sawyer with a now pair of trousers, whilo that excellent small boy was reading the improving N adventures of an eminent pirate, and wondering whether he would c over be able to emulate them. Not t one of the family was prepared to I receive visitors. Mr. Sawyer had e on his dressing-gown and slippers ; Mrs. Sawyer had lot down her back i hair to give freedom to her mental processes, and Master Sawyer had f temporarily slipped off his trousers t to supply his mother with a pattern, I whilo she wrapped the hearth rug Y about him. Suddenly, and without i the least warning, more than four t dozen people of all kinds and sexes, I including men, women, reformers I and theological students, burst into v the room, carrying cake and devas- ) tation with them. Master Sawyer I fled howling ; the clergyman pushed < back his spectacles, and tried to < smilo a ghastly smile ; and his F heroic wife, by hurriedly twisting I back her hair with both hands, and I holding ber comb between her tooth I managed to avoid uttering tho wol- i come which the invaders expected, but which her conscience forbade her to express. The marauders conducted them selves after the usual custom of 1 their kin d. They conversed with one another with great hilarity, ignoring the sufferings of tihe clergy man and his wife. They spread, their cake upon the ta'ble, and 1 devouring it withiout plates, scat-i tored the crumbs over the newv car pot. One young man, having laid : a large piece of jolly,-cake on the sofa, subsequently sat down on it. After having reduced the furniture I to that state of grease that it was no longer safe to sit down, the I miscreants gatbered around the piano and sang "What Shall thei Harvest Be ?" until Mr. Sawyer, 1 mild as he was, regretted that hoe could not take a sharpe scythe andr reap an immediate and bloody har - vest. While these blood-curdling out- r rages wvere in progress in tihe parlor, the good small boy kept himself r carefully out of the room. He was I not, however, wvasting his time in idle rage. He, too, heard tile melo-. diouis inquiries as to the harvest, and remarked to himself that they wvould find out all about the harvest ~ if, they would only wait a fewt minutes. Mean while, he was busily - engaged in carrying pails of water and emptying them on the front steps and along the walk lea ding I from the front door to the gate. ~ The night was cold, and the water froze ihpidly. Under his admirable man agement the ice acquired an unusually- smooth and slippery character, and when the work was thoroughly done, the small boy retired to the second. story front window and waited for the surprs party to break up. is The moon was at the full, and 'lono brightly when the first pair >f miscreants-the young man who 4at on th6 jelly-cakO and a heavy roung lady to whom lie was affianced -issued from the front door, and natantly sat down with tremendous m111pliasis. Close bohind them came ;he rest of the raiders, who with one ecuord stroed thomselves over the Tronild, until in some places they VOre collected three or four deep. 'ho shrieks of the ladies and the -tronger remarks of the mon filled ho air. No sooner would a strug Oing wretch regain his foot than ie would sit down again with '1Owed violence. The affrighted .lergyian and his wifo gazed with vondro at the appalling spectacle and .ho good small boy never ceased to ;ing "What Shall the Harvest Be" t the top of his lungs-interspers, ng the stirring hymn with a wild 'whoop" whenover -a particularly )rilliant pair of stockings waved in lie air. Althongh only three persons sus. ained fatal injuries, there was carcely a member of the party who scapod without more or loss serious voiilds, either of body or clothing. t is generally believed that there vill never be another surpriso party a Brooklield, and it is under con.. eniplition anong middle-aged totise-holders to present Master ;awyer with a service of marbles ud a life membership in the Foreign lissionary Society, as a testimonial f their esteom and gratitude. TI E SUN'S DISTANCE. rofessor Proctor and the Transit Ex pecuttons. Ferom ahe Londoi lYmos. I have received a largo number of Atters respLcting the new estimate f the sun's distance deducible from he observations of the British .'ransit Expeditions. Among these Atters is one from the author of forthcoming work on astronomy, dio wishes to know whether all the tinensions depending on the sun's listanco ought now to be modified o accord with the now evaluation. t may probably he of use to indi - ate how the matter stands. The value of the sun's distance, leduced by Captain Tupman with reat skill and after much labor ron many Bets of observations aado with much care and after long Practice, may be set at 93,321,000 ailos. The solo method employed n obtaining this result has been hat called Delisle's, which, between .868 and 1874, was the subject of so anuch controversy in these columns ,nd elsewhere. In fact, the obsor ations employed may be said to be ong exclusively to Sir G. Airy's >riginal scheme, fur the Halloyan >bservations, mado at southern tations by the British parties, will )o effective only when combined vith those made at northern sta ,ions by America, Russia and Ger nany. This result, 93,321,000 miles, >xceds by very nearly a million n iles Newco mb's mean valuo-92, - 193,000 miles-deduced from obsor, rations by six methods. It exceeds )y more than a million miles LGoverrior's estimate from the plane ary perturbations. It exceeds still fore, by about 1,800,000 miles the ralue for deducing wvhich from the ransit observations of 1709, Stone, hen first assistant at Greenwich, -eceived the goldi niedal of the As ronomical Society. The probable error of the new 'esult is set by Captain Tupman at wo hundred thousand miles. It is ather a significant circumstance, lowever, that of the two sets of bservations-ingress and egress nto which the British results can >e divided, one gives a distance xceeding by more than a million niles the distance gvnb h ther set. gi' b h It appears to me that the main esult of the observations is the lemonstration of what was before a naatter of surmise-theo untrustwor lay nature of Delislo's'method.
