Dedr Frecmdn-Gentle Spring is again with
US and truly ii is most invigorating aud life
giving season of the year. All nature leaps
with JOY and takes new life at its approach
1t is then that the forest assumes its robes of
beautiful green foliage and is made TO resound
with the sweet notes of feathered SOngsterS,

50 lately locked up in the cold embrace of the
Frost King, lnurmur sweet music as they glide
gently on toward the deep bosom OF the ocean
the fields have again assumed their soft Ver
dure of green, beautiiied here and there with
modest flowers of every hue and color, causing
the gentle Zephyrs to come heavily laden with
the sweetest aroma. In fact, it is at this glad
some season of the year that all creation seems
most joyous and happy. And IN unison, as 1t
dies of Loretto, Tuesday last, May Both, gave
a BIsket Picnic. Your correspondent had the
tfTties and desires to avail himself of this op
portunity OF returning the thanks of himself
and such of his gentlemen friendsas were in at
tendance to the fair young ladies in question
fer the generous feast OF reason and flow of
soul" which beguied the pleasant hours of that
merry day. The picnic was held in Moore's
Grove, where the party had scarcely assembled
when they were invited to partake OF refresh
ments for the inner man On approaching the
table alI were surprised ut the bountiful supply
of good things it fairly groaned under, Gf may
be allowed 10 use an expression which has been
worn threadbareD and which served con
vincing proof that the young ladies who had
prepared the feast, while they possess all the
Accomplishments of the parlor and are ever
graceful in the may dance, are entirely at
home in the duties which pertain to the kitchen.
After partahing of this delicious repast we were
escorted to large dancing platform, where an
elegant string band was discoursing sweet mII-
sic Next came the selecting of partners for
the dance, n rlhasant duty soon accomplished,
and ere long the happy participants We're trip
ping the light fantastic toe" in harmony with
the inspiring strains OF instrumental music
And thus it was that all enjoyed themselves as
only young folks know how to do on such occa-
sionS, and
soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake
And ali went merry as marriage bell"
Aud in this way was the day spent, nothing oc-
curing to mar the pleasure or detract from the
enjoyment OF any one AS for your correspond
piest days of his life; and il is the sincere wish
Of his heart that those young ladies who con-
tribated 50 successfully to the happiness of all
present.may live TO see many returns OF gentle
Spring." and that their lives may ever be as en-
| joyable and happy as was the experience of all
those who had the pleasure of attending their
| Basket Picnic. Il.
