THE TOUCH LKJIIT BRIGADE.
It was the number twenty-five that
did tho mischief. If it had lx»en twonty,
or thirty, or thirty-flvo, or forty, Pbti
would uevqr have got them all iuto
trouble.
The Torchlight Brigade—newly or
ganized and as yet unequipped—had
been having a picnic, a nuttiug picnic
in tho Bear Hill woods. It wanted two
hours of the time set to return homo.
The nuts wero all gathered, the games
played out, aud tho boys were strolling
aimlessly libout when Phil stumbled
over a low atone wall and wont head-first
iuto a pumiikiu-patelu
A numpkin-patoh in the midst of the
woods—-whft an idea! No other signs
of cultivation were visible—just this oue
little spot partially cleared aud the
pumpkins growing thriftily.
Phil sat up, rubbed his bruised knee,
and absently counted them.
Twenty-five pumpkins: which iustantly
suggested twenty-five jack-a-lanterus;
and there wero iust twenty-five members
in the Torch-light Brigade.
“ Bo-ovs!” shouted Fhil.
“ Wha-ut?” called back the boys.
“ He-ere,” cried Phil, and down they
all uoisily trooped.
“ Hollo!” exclaimed Willie Bruce, aa
he saw the vines.
' ‘ What is it, Phil?” asked Bon Hnm-
mouci, hnrrviug up.
" What navo you found, Pliil?" in
quired half a dozen others.
“Jock-n-lauterns, fellows,” he au-
swered, "just twenty-five, one n piece,”
" Hurrah! Good for you, Phil. And
n dozen of the thoughtless youngsters
were among the vines—half tho pump
kins plucked off—and one or two in
process of transformation, before a boy
among them had ventured this sage re
mark:
*' Bee here, they don’t belong to us.”
"Who do they belong to?" asked
Phil.
Nobody knew.
" Who do the woods belong to?”
Nobody know that.
‘‘Well, any way. anything wo find iu
the woods is ours."
" Is it?" laughed Willie Bruce, "thou
I'll keep this jack-knife—I just found
it.”
"Anything growing, I mean,” cried
Phil, quickly demanding his property.
" I guess these spraug up here, just liko
the nut trees. ’’
" Nonsense,” said Willie Bruce. "You
ran see tho plow tracks. These pump
kins wero planted and tended; see the
lino round them. We’ve no right to
touch them."
"Findings are havings,” said Phil,
obstinately. " Come, fellows, pitch iu.”
And ho rushed for the biggest one. try
ing to stifle his conscience by adding:
"Pumpkins are not worth much this
year, anyway.”
His bad example was quickly followed.
Tho ruthless baud soon despoiled the
patch—Willie Bruce, I am sorry to odd,
unnblo to withstand the teityptstiou,
yielding ot lost and taking one too.
"Now,” said Phil, "I’vo just twenty-
five cents. I'll malco yours, Bcu Ham-
mond, ns soon as mine is done, if you
will run to the village, and get twenty-
fivo candles. Mnko them throw iu* n
bunch of matches,, too.”
Off wqpt Ben and to work went tho
boys. H their fathers and mothers had
given them such a job to do at home in
two hours, how they would have groaned!
How the chips flew! How the seeds
were scooped out and scattered! Some
did double duty for those who had no
knives, and those who got through first
went for poles.
In a little more than two hours the
jack-a-lauterns were set upon the pojes
and tho candles wedged safely in, ready
for lighting. They hid their bogs of
nuts and waited till dark. Then the
grotesque procession marched through
tho village, shouting and hurrahing
r.nd cheering for the presidential candi
date.
" Mossy sakes!” cried old Aunt Betsv
Leeds. "Look at them lx>ys! what a
wicked waste of good food."
"O, a pumpkin or two from a patch is
not missed,” said the minister, kindly.
“T like to see them enjoy themselves.
Hurrah, boys—that is right! cheer for
holiest men like honest boys!”
An uncomfortable twinge of consci
ence smote their hearts. I am glad to say,
and they felt themselves unworthy to
cheer for honest men. However, they
kept up the procession till their candle's
went out, and then broke up.
When tho fun and excitement were all
over and they were alone in their ro-
speotiye homes, they wondered, with
misgiving and qualms of conscience,
who was the owner of that patch in tho
woods, and wish they had not robl>ed
it.
The next day Phil and Willie returned
to Bear Hill to got the nuts they had
left there. As they drew near the * place
they heard a most rovBteriouH sound.
Leaving the cart they bad brought for
the nuts, and creeping cautiously for
ward they soon discovered the cause.
On tho grouud near the plundered vines
lay Minnie Shaw—the minister's pretty
little daughter. Her face and hands
wore buried in a tuft of moss, and she
was crying and sobbing in a most pitiful
manner; her whole attitude showed hop*,
less grief.
"Why. Minnie, what is the matter?”
cned Phil, anxiously, “are yon hurt?"
“No-o-o,” she sobbed.
"What is it then?”
"O—my—pumpkins—are—all-gone!"
"Your pumpkins?" cried both boys in
a breath.
"Yos. I—wanted—to—take—musio
lessons; and papa oouldn’t afford it, and
Mrs. West said if Cuthburt would plant
her some pumpkins, she would give me
lessons all winter, and Cuthbert plauted
them for her and I tended them, and
they were all good, and just—ready—to
—pick, and now—they—are—allg-o-ne!”
And smarting under her grievous disap
pointment* hor sobs redoubled after this
confidence.
Tho boys - stood abashed by shame.
Minnie refused to be comforted, and
what could they, the despoilers, sny to
comfort her? They saw tall Cuthburt
coming up through the fields, and foar-
ing his wrath, gathered their bags of
‘That’s oo,” said Phil. "I'll toll you
what, Willie Bruce, I'm goiug to toll
my mother all about it I’m ashamed,
of course, but perhaps mother can think
# a way to mako it up."
Phil did. He went directly to his
kind parent with a true account of the
wholo affair. Mrs. Bliss was very sorrv
that her little sou could not learn to re
sist temptation. She talked with him
seriously, warning him of hast v thoughts,
unchecked, which so often‘led to evil
doing. As Phil was truly penitent, and
anxious to make amends, she advised
him to call the boys together and tell
them what he knew, to propose that tho
nuts should be given to Mr. Shaw to lie
sold for Miuuio, in place of the pump-
kins.
"But mother, we have loads of nuts
and they are wort^norethau the pump
kins were, aud wo cannot got any more
this year. Wouldu’t half do?” pleaded
Phil.
"Do you think, dear, the extra worth
would pay Minnie for to-day's disappoint
ment and grief?”
"No ma’am," Phil acknowledged.
"Yon see, dear, you uot onlv lost her
property but brought all this distress
upon her nlso. We oauot measure tho
full effects of our wrong doiug. And I
think if yon boys go without! nut* all
winter it will uelp yon to remember
never to take other people's things."
"Very well, mother,”said Phil meekly.
"I’ll give up all my share any wav. Now
I’ll see the fellows."
Shamefaced enough, wero the mem
bers of the torchlight brigade. Every
one of them lovod the minister and
admired pretty little Minnie, aud they
would not have grieved her for the
world. What would Mr. Shaw thiuk
now of his "houest boys,” lor they
bravely decided to tell hun every tiling
ami to give up the nuts for Minnie's
benefit.
They wont at once and told him the
whole story. He was very kind.
"I am glad yon came* to me volun
tarily, boys,” lie said. "I thank you
for that I am sure this will be a lesson
to toil I am goiug to preach you a
short sermon.
"First: Never meddle with the prop
erty of others, no matter how small the
value may appeur.
"Secondly: Try to chock wroug
thoughts promptly.
Thirdly: If you have done wrong be
brave and confess it. Ask God to for
give you and to help you make what
ameuds you can. ”
Mr. Shaw has preached many sermons
before and since, but I doubt if lie ever
preached one that did more good.
Mrs. West was glad to take the' nut
money for Minnie s music lessons, and
became greatly interested in her promis-
mother, pitying the motherless
child of the poorly-paid miuister, helped
her iu every wav that she oould, and
under her instruction Miunie learned to
make pretty clothes for herself and little
comforts and dainties for her father ami
Cuthbert.
The minister never spoke of the
pumpkin robbery, I am sure, yet in
some way the act and its amendment
became known, for "A good friend to
Boys,” presented tho brigade with twen
ty-live naptha-torches, with which they
marched aud cheered with honest
hearts.
Perhaps Phil's mother ki #w moro
about that present than anyone else.
The members of the torchlight brig
ade have all vowed never to meddle with
things not their own; and I think they

Portrait of Uncle Sam.
In personal appearance, Unele Sam is
a tall, bony, lieolthy-looking man, ap
parently of 45 ; for, though bom in 1776,
ho boars his age well, and seems to bo
getting vounger every day. He loves to
brag of his establishment, and puts him
self on such an equality with tno people
that a train of hangers ou ore ulwoys at
his elbow. There are always at his ta
ble a number of gray-beaded old fellows,
who were his companions in youth, and
of whose services he continually speaks.
Ho loves to boast how Tom Suoh-a-ono
saved his life at Bunker Hill, and how
Dick Someliody whipped a follow that
assaulted him at Eutaw, He often, too,
wq>ea liis eyes when he looks at the pict
ure of a tall General, hanging up in his
parlor, who, he says, whipped a fellow
named Pakeuliam, who once tried to
tako away oue of his girls aud a cotton
bale. On these occasions Unde Sam
will become greatly excited, and, taking
off his cocked hat—which, ho says, was
the gift of his old friend George Wash
ington—will swear he bus tho best land
in tho world, and can out-run, out-jump,
and whip any man ou the hill. In
truth, these oro but eccentricities of a
character which is so mixed up with
generous virtues as to be excusable.
Though inclined to peace, he can some
times play the braggart, and is one of
those who, while he will giro his life in
tho way of friendship, in the matter of
bargains will stickle on the ninth part of
a hair. At any attempt upon him of this
character, ho will shoulder his cane and
act out as many maneuvers as a half
pay Lieutenant of infantry. On the
whole, he is one of those who will cud-
S ol his best friend in a cause in which
c is engaged, and embrace his bitterest
enemy in whose conduct is observable
the smallest principle of magnanimity
and honor.—Southern Literary Gazette.
Marriage Contracts..
Civil marriage is becoming more com
mon in New York, not only among re
cently-arrived immigrants, ‘who are ac
customed to it in Europe, but among
Americans. To stop up to the Mayor’s
office and settle tho matter in a few min
utes, costa nothing for white dresses,
veils, gloves, flowers, presents or fees.
There is no necessity for bridesmaids and
groomsmen, or for a clergyman, and
there is a reliable public record kept,
which is not always secured by marrying
before a minister. In any case, it is the
mutual oonsent of two persons legally
entitled to wed which constitutes the
marriage, and a ceremony is wisely in
stituted by law to provide evidence of
that consent The truo course to be
pursued in this most important, matter
is that common in European countries;
to have the same law of marriage for the
whole nation, and local civil officers com
petent to decide on the legal capacity of
the parties to contract marriage, anil to
keep a publio reoord of each marriage,
duly attested. When this most neces
sary civil contract has been completed,
the parties, having their certificate, cat
be married, without any further invest?

Farming In Japan.
Milton S. Vail, a missionary in Japan,
f .ives the following account of Japanese
arming:
The farmers in Japan eeom to operate
on a small scale. All the land belong*
to government, and all have to pay a
good rent. Wheat, barley, rye, and
buckwheat are growu iu rows, tha weeds
being kept out by hoeing. It seems
strange to soe all thoir grain growiug in
rows, but no doubt good crops are thus
produced. Rice is the chief product of
Japan. The earth nearly everywhere is
black, aud tho black soil of the valleys,
when well cultivated and made to hold
the water from tho neighboring hills,
makes good rice fields. The soil is
broken by manual lal>or. Men go iu to
the mud up to their knees, and with a
loug-bladed hoe turu the earth over.
Horses aro used to harrow it down, and
when readv, the rice plants are set out
by hand. The rice of Japan is very fine,
aud tho Japaneso know now to cook it.
With them it is the principal articlo of
food—a little rioe, with pickles and tea,
often constitutes the meal. The people
do not. know how to make bread, but
stem to lie very fond of it when they can
get it of foreigners. They have flour
which they use iu various ‘ways in the
simplest kind of cookery. I noticed in

Whittier's First Poem.
Wo hare before us in Mr. Whittier's
handwriting tho first poem of his that
was ever published. In 18J6, wheu he
was iu his nineteenth year, he left it
under tho door of the office of tho Free
Press. a weekly paper thou published
by William Lloyd Garrinon, iu Newbury-
port. Garrison had just attained his
majority, and this paper was his flrat
venture in journalism. It may interest
writers for the press of the present day
to hear the story of this first literary ef
fort of a poet nor crowned with years
and with honors.
It was many weeks after young Whit
tier left his manuscript to its fate beforo
ho heard from it Ho was thou working
upon his father’s rooky farm in Haver
hill, and his father was a patron of the
Free Press. Week by week tho paper
arrived, aud the heart of the young; poet
sank within him aa he looked iu vain for
his versos. Ono day he was at work
with his Uncle Moses repairing the stone
fence by the highway going along on
tho onttudo replacing tlio stones knocked
from tho wall by sheep that had scram
bled over it. Wliilo bo engaged tho poet-
muu enrno along on horseback, and, to
save going to tho house with the paper,
ho tossed it to young Whittier. It was
opened w ith trembling fingers. Many a
writer kuows the exact sensation of hope
without expectation, so often experienced
in regard to the firstliugs of tho brain.
Tho surprise of findiug his pootn at the
"head of the comer” was so bewildering
that lie was dazed by it, ami ho says he
stood looking at it a long time, ar«l is
sure ho did uot read a word. At leugth
his uncle called him back to his sonses
by bidding him keep at work. No suc
cess in future years has ever stirred such
a tumult of emotions, aa may well bo
belioved. •
Garrison was so impressed with hia
new contributor’s work that he sought
him out, comiug up to Haverhill on
horseback to interview him. When Gar
rison called, young Whittier was at work
in the field. He was told a geutleuiau
was at tho house inquiring for him.
Nobody had ever called for him beforo,
aud he felt liko running away. But he
got into the houso by tho back door,
"slicked up,” and soon stood iu tho
presence of tho young oditor, who en
couraged him to moke good use of the
talent he lmd displayed. Whittier's
father came in during their interview,
and begged Garrison uot to put such no
tions iuto tho head of his sou. But it
was too late; tho damago was done!
This was the first meeting of tho two
men afterward so intimately associated
in anti-slavery work. The poom referred
to has long been out of print. It is as

Previous to tho Revolution of 1688 the
Government of England was mainly car
ried ou by virtuo of what was called the
royal prerogative; that is, by tho King
in person, with the advice of ministers
appointed by himself, who wore only re-
hponaible to thoir Sovereign for their
uinuogcmout of public affairs. Ono of
tho results, howovor, of that revolution
was the transfer of tho power of the State
from tho Crown to tho House of Com
mons. Instead of a Government by pre
rogative, there was then established a
Government by Porliiunout, from whom
ull laws must emiuate, requiring only the
approval of the Crown as a condition of
tlicir enactment.
As is well known, tho Quoen appoints
her owu advisers, irrespective of tlie
wishes or approval of Parliament, and
though popularly tho Ministry is sup
posed to possess the whole executive
)>ower, no important meosuro is pre
sented by tbem to the consideration of
Parliament through the channel of tho
Ministry, and Parliament may originate
aud pass acta at its pleasure, subject to
tho constitutional right of tlie Quoen to
nullify them by her veto. The Queen
can convono Parliament and terminate
its sessions at will.
There have boon but two instances in
which tlie Lords and Commons have met
by their own authority, namely, prev
ious to tho restoration of Charles II,
and ut tho Revolution in 1088. There is
ouo contingency, however, upon which,
j under authority of law, Parliament may
: meet 'without summons. It was pro-
! vided in tho reign of Anne that in caso
; there should be no Parliament in beiug
i at the time of the demise of the Crown,
| then "tho last preceding Parliament
| shall immediately conveno and sit at
I Westminster, as if tlie said Parliament
I hod never been dissolved.” Such a Par-
j liament, however, by a statute iu the
reign of George HI., can only continuo
| in cxistenoo for six months, if not sooner
j dissolved.
) This, then, is the power of the Queen.
I She may, with the advice of her nliuis-
; tors alono, assemble, prorogue, and dis
solve Parliament, declure war, confirm or
disallow tho acts of Colonial Legislatures,
I give effect to treaties, extend tho term of
1 patents, grant charters of incorporation
I to companies or municipal bodies, create
ecclesiusticnl districts, regulate the
Board of Admiralty, and make appoint-
I meats to offices iu tho various depart
ments of State, create new offices and
define tho qualifications of persons to
fill the snmo, and declare the periods at
which certain acts of Parliament, the
operation of which has boon left to tho
Queen and Couueil, shall be enforced.
With regard to the expenditure of
money, it is expressly provided in the
net of scttlomout, to which reference bus
been made, that money levied for tho
use of tho Crown without grant of Par
liament is illegal. The Crown is entirely
dependent upon Parliament for ita reve
nues.—IF. T. Davis, in Harper's May-
axine.
