SONGS OF SPRING


Now is the time when poets rhyme,
And blue birds gaily sing;
While in the bog the frisky frog
Takes in the "Gentle Spring"
-HackeasacE Republican.
ANOTHER round of weeks, and then
The little child of sin
Will hurdle the forbidden fence
And scoop the pippin in
And with his martial spirits quelled
By pain his thefts beget,
He'll clutch his little vest and wish
He had no apple eat.
THE cucumber graceth the festal board
Enshrouded in condiments rare,
And the epioure gleefully rubbeth his paunch
At the sight of the treasure there
The doctor smieth a sad like smile
And giveth n crocodile groaD,
And the marble man goeth oSt the while
And polisheth up n stone,
The undertaken mournfully asks
what win his measure be-"
And the sexton marketh a spot reserved
All under the willow tree.
It's hard the times and tits scarce the cash
And so with zestful Joy
We welcome watt to the fitful fruit
That giveth the folk employ.
WAITING FOR EASTER.
Dear me, dear me, the maiden thought,
As in her pew she sat,
| ne'er can be a saint beneath
This hOrrid winter hat
T he days are drowsy with the breath
Of summer lowering nigh;
Springs misty banners drOop above
The blue tents of the sky;
The daisies through the clover peep;
The streamlets singing go
Tween banks where viOiets stoop TO drink
All! why lays Easter sos
When robed like spring, in gay attire,
can at church appear,
Then | shall better able be
To read my title clear
-Nea1 York Sun.

THE EASTERN SITUATION.

Europe hath no fury like the British lion
scorned.
He takes his native 'alf- and 'alf, till, getting
somewhat warmed,
He boldly sticks his nose without his sea girt
lair
And makes some sickly faces at the savage
Russian bear;
But the shaggy beast, undaunted, just
watches all this wrath;
He hopes to give that lion yet red hot Turk
ish bath.

WHAT KIND OF DEMOCRACY Is
THIS?

The SENTINEL has been in possession Of
;,formation for sometime TO the effect that
sbould Kinkead receive the Republican
nomination for Governor, Bradley would
he withdrawn by his more intimate friends
from the contest. 1t is not that they like
BRADLEY less but Kinkcad more. Profess
sing to believe Bradley inyincible before
the people, they VIC Guild get him out Of the
way that Kinkead may go in. In support
of what the SENTINEL has hitherto alleged
on this subject, we reproduce the follow
ing from a Western Republican exchange +:
IL has been rumored for some weeks in
Eastern Nevada that in case John FL. Kim
kead was nominated, l.. r. Bradley would
be withdrawn from the fight -gubernatorial.
We had deemel il merely an idle rumor
which had gained nourishment along the
Base Range. 1t was, however, nearer the
truth. and nearer home Than we had be-
iieyed. Among the principal supporters
Of Governor Bradley, General r.. M.
Clarke, Of Carson, looms up with great
prominence. We believe, from circum-
stances coming under our knowledge, that
General Clarke wrote several of the State
documents for which Broadlorns claims so
much credit, and we believe that bis anti
Hobart financial exhibit was prepared for
his Exccllency by his admiring secretary
pro tenn, before the Governor had arrived
in the State. Be this as it may, however,
General Clarke has fairly been identified
as the head Of Bradley's support among
pretended Republicans, before the present
year. Now, however, he has two strings to
his kite, and they are labeled Kinkead and
Bradley. II Kinkead is nominated, Brad
lev will find himself without the Republi-
can colored support which elected him
four years since. II, however, Kinkead
should lack strength, the Clarke kite will
fy for Broadhorns as before.

Is Hayes harboring q traitor? John
Sherman is reported to have said at Long
Branch on Saturday that Grant is sure to
receive the nomination for the Presidency
in 1880, and if the Convention was held
tomorrow the nomination would be by
reclamation. What has Hayes done that
he should merit this slight from his bosom
friend. Would not Sherman give him the
compliment Of an honorary vote for the
great good he has done to the tribe Of
Sherman?

BUYING IN AND BUYING ON.

Mr.. Hayes got into the White House by
o bargain, m arrangement, a trade. The
Investigations Of the Potter Committee
have made that plain, if it was not plain
before. His Inauguration was not the re-
suit Of the election alone. 1t was in con-
sequence OF an understanding with certain
Southern men, which was come to long
after the election was over. Hayes bought
himself in. His Administration, which
csme in by a bargain, is now trying tc buy
itself on. With a meanness OF spirit char
acteristic Of those who steal into places
where they have no right, it offers, in the
most abject manner, to pay for the faintest
recognition. Through Mr. Commissioner
Raum it proposes to ''let up on the worst
offenders against the United States Gov
eminent in South Carolina, if in the old
hotbed of notification its own officers can
only be treated l~eniently All this is con-
sistent and in keeping. An Administra-
ton which bought itself in may be expected
to buy itself on. We do not think in the
days of Andrew Jackson an officer who
had telegraphed to South Carolina suppl
cation for mercy or leniency to the United
States officers would have remained in
office very long. But then General jack
son did not buy himself into Office. He
never ceased to regard with adherence
the man who once intimated to him that
he could become President by an "under-
standing and arrangement" He did not
buy himself in. He did not buy himself
on. Hayes is a man Of different stamp.
Trade is in his line. He got in by trade.
He is trying to get on by fresh trades.
