THE SCARECROW.
TFrOm Wide Awake.7

From Wide Awake.
The farmer looked at his cherry-tree,
With thick buds clustered ON every bough;
Il wish could cheat the robins" said he;
If somebody only would show me how!
I'll make a terrible scarecrow grim,
With threatening arms and with bristling heaC
And up in the tree I'll fasten him,
To brighten them half to DEATH he said.
He fashioned q ScarecrOw tattered and torn
o, twas a horrible thing to see
And very earl Y one summer morn,
He sat 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 a harmless, comical, tough old fellow:
Let us all 90 into the tree together,
For he won't bulge till the fruit is mellow"
So up they few and the sauciest pair
Mid the shady branches peered and perlsed,
Selected a spot with the utmost care,
And all day merrily sang and worked.
And where do you think they built their nest?
In the scarecrow's pocket, if you please,
That, half-cOncealed on his ragged breast,
Made charming covert of safety and easel
BY the time the cherries were ruby-red.
A thriving family hungry and brisk
The whole day long on the ripe fruit fed;
Twas 50 convenient they saw no risk
Until the children were ready to fly
All undisturbed they lived in the tree;
For nobody thought to look at the Guy
For a robins Furnishing family

No Fun i'm Being a Princess.

The position OF the Princess Of Wales
is too exalted q one to permit much
social enjoyment, yet has not the splen-
did potentialities of reigning royalty.
The Princess, too, is peculiarly unosten-
tatious, and evidently finds the magnifi-
cent lonliness of her position an actual
trial To be young and beautiful, and
idolized, and yet to be shut out from
most forms ofsocial amusement. can be
by no means delightful. Yet there are,
of course, very few houses, even among
those Of the highest nobility, to which
the Princess of Wales can 90 as an in
vited guest And, when she does go,
an awful state hedges her around. She
is passionately fond Of dancing, yet no
gentleman can ask her to dance. She it
is who signals out the parsonage whom
she desires as a partner, and when she
must sit down. After circling around
the room some half a dozen times. she
pauses and sits down to rest, and then
the remainder of the walters may take
turn, but as soon as she stands up again
they must stop. This solitary Grand
Lama kind Of performance cannot be
very amusing to this kindly, gentle,
amiable lady. She is, am told, most
accomplished dancer, despite her slight
lameness. But, Of all the recreations of
her life, she most enjoys driving in the
park In her little victoria with her
dame de compag,oie beside her, she is free
to enjoy the testimonials of affection
and enthusiasm that meet her every
O,,1 that -
gracious smile and bow wherewith she
returns every salutation can doubt her
delight at her own popularity.

REPUBLICAN ESTIM ATEI OF
GRANT AND BLAINE.

The pronounced Grant men do not
want Blaine, any more than the pro-
nounced Blaine men want Grant. Also
there is a large element in the Republi-
can party that do not desire either. The
old Boston Herald, Republican, belongs
to this latter class. Discussing the rela-
tive merits of Grant and Blaine, that
journal says:
The feeling against nominating Mr..
Blaine, for some reason or other, is
stronger in Massachusetts than elsewhere.
Here Grant and Blaine are generally
coupled together as candidates who would
not be able to unite the party, and whose
nomination would be d~iscreditable as well
as impolitic. Outside of Massachusetts,
the same class of DIRECTORS, while gener-
ally opposed to Blaine as well as Grant,
place their opposition on a different
ground. They say that Grant represents
a system, which is at once discreditable
and dangerous, while Blaine merely rep
resents himself, and might make a very
fair administration. We know of some
prominent Republicans who, if Grant
should be nominated, would take the
stump against him, but if Blaine should
be the party candidate they would silently
acquiesce. Why the opposition to Mr..
Blaine should be stronger here than else
where we can readily understand. It
comes from various causes. The first is
a keener sense of what is wanted in a
public man. Mr.. Blaine has done moth
ing to injure his reputation seriously
among the average politicians of the
country. Many members of Congress
have fallen into the same ways, and some
have been found out. There are SO many
opportunities in Congress, for lawyers
especially, to realize on their professional
services, which are not always separated
from their public duties, that it is not an
easy matter to draw the line between
what is permissible and what is not.
Therefore, while we believe that Blaine
would be a weaker candidate In Massa-
chusetts than Grant, he would be a
stronger n in the country at large. In
some sections he stands as the exponent
Of the anti-third term idea, which gives
him exceptional strength. On the other
hand. he has special elements of weak
ness, as in New York, where the Conk-
ling machine is arrayed against him.
On the whole, we cannot see how the
Republicans can afford to nominate either
Grant or Blaine, for each of these men
would encounter opposition in the party
at the start and make a defensive cam
paign necessary.
