us, the shops want us, the banks and railroads
want US. We want our daily bread, and Nam
mon wants his. He opens all his thousand
mouths of gaping smithies, workshops, and
Offices, to swallow us up We have won mil
lions, but we have not yet won leisure for sin
gle day Where is the man that does say that
we are wiser than our ancestors? .f.
And yet Nature and the human heart are
the same. The one has all her beauties and
delights still to offer, the other has all its glori
GUS capacities to enjoy Oh! how beautiful
and amiable is Nature at this moment How
green is her grass how tender is her foliage!
The cuckoo has returned from far lands. and
shouts her gladness once more. The nipht-
ingale pours hymns of love and worship from
every bough, more beautiful than Pindar or
even David, ever wrote. The cowslip and the
primrose battle in dewy meadows, and breathe
up incense to the heaven that smiles on them
The whole country is paradise of love and
youth and beauty; and it should be the holiday
of every man, woman, and child, now to break
loose from labor and care, and go forth and
enjoy it. This should be the festival of May
Without returning to the hobby-horse, and the
more foolish customs of our ancestors, we
should, at least return to nature. We should
make it the holiday of May--if not on one day
at least on another-for every soul to 60 out,
and abandon itself to the general JOY of the sea-
son. To breathe the fresh, pure air to revel
in the feeling of all the delicious greenness, and
amid the heaven-suggesting flowers; to let the
"work, work, work !" cease for at least one
day, in the weary, whirling brain; and the
heart, opening to the perception Of the mighty
joy that covers the whole face of the earth, re
pose for single day on the sense Of Gods good
ness, and feel that it still can sympathize in the
pleasures Of its fellow-men. This should be the
holiday Of May; and would say let it be so
for all that can. God never meant that all the
loveliness Of May should be left to the bird upon
the bough and the beast in the field and that
man, the noblcst of his creatures should be i'm
prisoned in the workshop, and have none of it.
Shall the otter bask in the sedge, the snake on
the bank, and the very toad in its hole, and
shall not man bask, too? Shall not the time
once more come, when this may be holiday
for ALL and there may be dance on the village
green, and dance in the heart of every poor
man at the festival Of youth and nature--the
poetical May-day. - a sts.e II.
