I BOBBINO ‘A.BIDACII ORCHARD ’ A* SKETCH. In a newly settled town “out west,’ 1 there resided, no more' than three years ego, an old farmer, who was notorious for his pdnurlousness, and his disposi* liunfor saving and turning everything into money. At the time to which our story rotates, old Deacon Nowcomb was the'only man in- the vicinity who raised peaches, which wore a very scarce article, owing .to thonowness of the country. It so happen*! od that llio bid deacon hud an abundance of these, as: his fine young-trees wore just in their prime: but not a peach did one of his. neighbors taste unless paid for In.advance. ’ 9 This ponuriousncss .on the pai| of the old gentle-; man oxchiecl the malicious propensities of many of the young men in-lho neighborhood, arid they rosolv. ed to. have si taste of the Ibrbidilen /hut at all events. At that time, and In that part of the country, fruit stealing was not considered a very grdvo offence, but was looked upon as a niefo practical-jdkei arid was laughed at in proportion with the-degree of shrewd* neas manifested by the trespassers in .Committing, their depredations. Consequently, the young men, while they Coveted (ho deacon's frlilt, despised his meanness, resolved without a single scruple of conscience, to help them* selves. There were only.about a half a dozen privy to the plot, and they soon had everything satisfacto rily arranged for Carrying it into cffccL 'The six agreed to meet at tho town tavern, between the hours of nlno and ten In (he evening, in order to bo ready to commence operations at ten precisely, ' which was the timo appointed for the selling out IVom the tavern, •' • 50 Among Iho coneplrutors, wne one Nod Harvey* a bold, hot beaded, humorous fellow, who it may be premised, was on inimitable mimic.: Harvey was iho soul.of the parly, but owing to some severe prac tical jokes which he had perpetrated at Iho expense of his'companions, they Were all anxious on L lhe present occasion* to put a trick upon him. This thcro were none of them witty enough to invent, but accident afforded them an idee. It happened that, the whole party wero assembled at (he tavern on iho night appointed al a quarter be fore ten, With (he exception of Harvey. “ What are we waiting for 7'* asked one, “Ned Harvey,” replied another, “True; Ned is behind hand.” "No ho ulitl; don’t y?u eco It isn’t time yet!— Ten’s the hour.” ■ •* You’re right. But I propose, boy#—” " Well, what is It?” “Thai we give the slip” . " And go without Mm?” '‘•Exactly,” ■ . "A splendid ideal” cried one. • " A tine joke,” added another. The party accordingly silently left the tavern,and disappeared in the direction of Doacon Ncwcomb'e peach orchard. Five, minutes after Ned . Harvey came in. Sur prised al not mooting his companions, whom ho sup posed would bo for the most part assembled, ho look ed af the clock, then at his,watch, and finally inquired of the bar lender if ho had. the correct time.' ” It Wants eight minutes and throe quarters of ten,” said the gonllcnfan addressed, "to a Traction I” Harvey sat down end remained quiet Just eight minutes and throo quarters,.when iho hour having arrived at w|iich his companions had promised lu be assembled, ho began to' suspect foul piny. " Hus Dick \V-~ hccn hero la night?’’ he asked. •* Vv's^’replied the bur tenderi 1 / 1 ' '” ' ’ a •• And Charley B , n y C8 .»* ■ "And DIIK3—-?” ( " Yes, they left here just before yo 6 Came In. Ned and Frank A—— were witlr them.” Harvey bit his lips; ho s»w'through the entire plot; and ho asked himself, "How Iho douce can 1 como up with iho rascals?” An iclnn struck him and he rubbed his hands and chuckled audibly, tie left the tavern in hot haste, and proceeded homeward in high glee. Ha already fell his triumph complete, and daw his companions Ilia victims of their own treachery.’ Instead of alarm* ing the deacon, ho resolved to piny (ho part of duaoon himself. The night was just dark enough to favor his design; although there Was a nmol), the iky.wad cloudy, and tho light of the night queon was obscur ed. . - Harvey procured an old hat similar to the one Deucun Newcomb wore, pullud.lt oVor Ins' oyctf, and disguised himself still more effectually by. exchang ing his jacket for un old frock,coal, which boro a striking resemblance to one the eld. man Was fre quently seen to have on. Provided,with this die. guise, and being possessed, as before staled, of won* durful powers of mimicry, lie hud not u tfqubl bf**his ability to counterfeit the gentleman so closely that his companions would not discover tho cheat. Having onubd himself with a strong whip, Ned set out to surprise the trespassers at their work of darkness. Ho was tint tong in reaching (he deacon's orchard} and not many minutes had elapsed before he had discovered the whereabouts of his companions. Four of them wore silling upon (ho grass, near Iho fence, and directly under nnu u>' (ho finest pencil treos on iho old man's promises. They wero enjoying s delightful feast on the luscious fruit, which one .of the trespassers was shaking Horn the treo which lie had cDmbedi "Stolon watersnrosweel,andscarestolen poaches, I should judge!” muttered Nid .Harvey, os he crept stealthily towards his companions along hy the fence. He was soon so hour that ho could overbear their conversation, am] slopped to listen. "This is what I call rich—decidedly I" exclaimed Dich« swallowing a ripe, mellow peach as ho spoke. "What delicious rareripes!” whispered Charley. "Excellent!” " But not so good, os iho joke, after all," said Bill. " II.;! ha I” laughed Frank, who was on Iho tree, ” Hal hu!” echoed Charley. "Ain't it a rich joke. It lulls beautifully on tho old man’s stingy dlspusl tlon.” " And pays up Ned Harvey, too I” exclaimed Dick. Oh I did'nk wo give Mm Iho slip nicely ' ; " Yes,” said Bill, " but I’m afraid he'll expose us to Iho old deooon.” I "Never fear,” returned Charley. "Ned IlaVvoy ain’t iho chop to do such a moan (rick as that. But would'nl he bo worked up, If : he know how wo are enjovlng oursolvos without his precious company ?” ” Would’nt ho!” chuckled Ned to himself. ‘ " And Would’at It start the old deacon,*'laughed Dick, "If anyone should tell him how we oro enjoy. Ing ourselves at fils expense I” ■ ■ % "Hal hal ha!” loughcd tho wliolo oompany. "Hovo you filled the bag'?” demanded Frank, on Iho troo. ■ ■• ■ • '* i I - . " Yes—and our stomachs too!” "Then I am coming down io have my share!” i "Now’s my tlmol" thought Ned. It is.lmpossible to describe the consternation: of his (reachatoUs friends, as ho sprang’out opon thorn, so unexpectedly and suddenly In the adiet enjoyment of the'etolon fVuit, they luieto nol'whpro to turn, but ran against each: other, and ’knocked each other' down,'while Iho frightenud'Frankpitched headlong from the tree among his fiillen companions. "Here yoii ore, are you?” dried Ned, imitating the old deacon’s voice. "Ah you thieving ratoalil” "I’vo caught you at it this time, and* I’ll give you poaches enough!” • • ' ' - j So saying, Ned used his horivy whip with dir his forcb, striking the trespassers on tholr backs, and on tholr heads, and across lliolr faces; knocking thorn down as fast as they got up and attempted to run.— At last they scrambled away, ho chased thorn, and hitting first uno and then another, and screaming Id the doaoon’a voice— "Ah, you villainous whelps! I’ll Urn you (osteal poddieS out of niy orchard! I’ll Urn you, you good for-nothing, ungodly, thieving wretches I" At length thinking ho had punished thorn severely onoughfor tholr treachery, Nod appeared to givo .up Iho ohaibi while liis obmponlone hid ih the corners of Iho fonob t but tnsioad df leavlng them thus.ho dropped dbwuouhls kuccs.andicrcpt along towards ‘OUR COUNTRY-—MAY tT ALWAYS DE RIGHT —Bl CARLISLE, PA., THURSI) theta under the fence, in order to bear what they •aid. .« Bill,*' whispered onb.

They declined going fat it, but withdrew from tho field of tholr defeat olio* golher, leaving Harvey to laugh at tho joke, and to enjoy a hearty moal on -the ponchos ho. found already collected in the bag.

Finding this to bo the case, Ned immediately proclaimed the joke all about the neighborhood, and related the wholo affair with such exaggerations, os sorved to show up his comrades in tho most ridicul ous light ’possible. .

It oomo originally from John Fen wicko, who was Major of.Cuvulry in Cromwell's or my, and in that capacity was required to bo present at tho execution of the unhappy monarch.

She gave it to her daughters, who kept it with tho greatest pare, and at thejr duuth it passed Into another branch of the family, uud has finally come Into possession of Mr. Thompson. Its authenticity seems to bo clearly traced and proved beyond doubt, Tho handkerchief is of.t small size, and tho figure of the Scottish thistle is embroidered on tho edges.
