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.
