A Peruvian Experience.

A San Francisco gentleman who was
in South America during the past year,
having occasion to go from Valparaiso
TO Tacna, Peru, on legitimate private
business, was arrested upon suspicion
OF being Chilian spy. Being anxious
to penetrate into Bolivia, and unable to
obtain a passport, he ran the Chilian
blockade from Iquique, carrying in his
pockets some business and family cor
respondence and family photographs.
One of these home letters contained the
painted head of a paper doll, sent TO him
by his two-year. old boy, and funny
| letter, scrowled in unmeaning hero
glyphics by the same baby hands.
| These momenLoeS were viewed with
great suspicion by the officials and
| deemed quite sufficient to justify his
being shot. He Was incarct rated in a
dungeon, guared by two sentlnels and
| kept for the first three days without food.
In the course OF a lew days every Chlllan
in the province was arrested, and as the
families OF the prisoners were allowed
to visit them the American managed TO
smuggle letter to prominent mer-
chant of the place, a Mr.. Camerery OF
the firm of Camerery & Koch, 10 whom
he had brought letters ol introduction.
This gentleman finally succt coed, at the
expiration OF three weeks, in obtaining
his release. His conis Gated posses
sions were returned to him, with The
exception of the momentoes described,
which will probably occupy important
places in Peruvian annals, to the sur
prise OF the little fellow who sent them.
The prisoner Was discharged by the
authorities with considerable reluct-
ance, a TACT perhaps due to his manner
OF reception OF their cOurtesies. Even
the thiee Gays starving did not tame
him, to see whether he was ready to
come to terms. and yield the key To The
mysterious cipher, he told them he
would acknowledge he was hungry, and
informed them that if they would roast
their project or General Montelo, he
would Il IDLY eat them, and the act
. might make him a civilized Beruano. :

ever received came from a child OF four
years. The little fellow, after looking

A little boy in Sunday school put

The Scarecrow.

The farmer looked at his cherry tree,
With thick buds clustered on every boupb
''I wish 1 could cheat the robbins" said he
"If somebody only would show me how.
"Pll make terrible scarecrow grim.
With threatening arms and with bristiinp
head,
And up in the tree I'll fasten him
To brighten them half to death, >" he said.
he fastened scarecrow tattered and torn
oh, twas horrible thing to see!
And very early one summer morn,
He set it up in his cherry tree.
The blossoms were white as the light sea foam,
The beautiful tree was lovely sight;
But the scarecrow stood there so much at
home
That the birds flew screaming away in
fright.
But the robbins, watching him day after day,
With heads on one side and eyes so bright
Surveying the monster, began to say,
Why should this fellow our prospects
blight.
He never moves round for the toughest
weather,
He's harmless, comical, tough old fellow;
Lets all 90 into the tree together,
For he won't bulge till the fruit is mellow"
So up they flew; and the sauciest pair
Mid the shady branches peered and perked,
Selected a spot with the utmost care,
Aud ali day merrily sang and worked.
And where do you think they built their nest
In the scarecrow's pocket, if you please,
That, hat concealed on his ragged breast,
Made charming covert OF safety and ease!
By the time the cherries were ruby red
A thriving family, hungry and brisk,
The whole day long IN the ripe fruit fed;
Twas so convenient! They saw no rski
Until the childI en- were ready to fly,
All undsturbed they lived in the tree;
For nobody thought to look at the guy
For robbins fiourishng family!
