WASHINGTON, Mcy 3, 1881
May, the merry month of May,
Reigncth now, 4 holiday
Sweets the spring born flowers yield,
Fragrance scents the emerald field,
RolIeth by the Joyous river,
Anthems singing to the Giver.
Meath the sky and all above
Kindly beam the signs OF love,
Love which thrills the lonely heart,
Inward blessings TO impart-
Nature thus her lesson frames
Peace INTO the breast procIaims.
In thy bosom may her wing
Ever cheering music bring
Round thee soothing angels sing
Cheer thee, then, and happy be-
Even as Nature t,'achcth thee
Centre Market.-Our market this morninp
was plcntifulIy supplied, and the prices we
think very moderate, considering the condi-
ton of things. We would not blame the far
mer for demanding rery hiyh price for his
produce, II he was unfortunate enough to be in
our P'tnctpal market on such day as this.
We think it most pitiable sight to sec moor
women standing shoe deep in mud and water
with the rain pouring down, Offering a few
chickens, few Jumps Of butter, or a few
vegetables to persons who are disposed to lew
them down to penny. 1t is shameful that
men and women are obliged to stand ON the
side walk, under burning sun or pouring
rain, without shelter Of any sort TO furnish
provisions to the citizens of this great me
tropolis.''
Hotes tnhc AvenHe.-Some months ago a
portion of the carriage way of the avenue was
taken up for the purpose of facilitating GER
tain improvements. Since there is no peces
sity for the holes and breaks, it would add
greatly TO the safety of persons riding or dri-
wing along this our principal thoroughfare to
have them filed up. We have heard many
complaints from various persons, about the
danger fcrippling men and horses, and break
