SENTIMENTAL MAY.-rhe traditiOnally
sentimental May has come. This is the
month OF oil the rest, whose beauties have
been most sung by the poe.s. IL has been
robrd in heanty of the immortal song of
Spencer, Milton and Jamie Thompson, and
ils budding flowers, ETHEREAL mildnsss, balmy
zephyrs, smiling lawns, merry songsteIs,
and fresh and sunny faces, have been the
themes of hordes OF lesser poets down to the
petty scriblers of ofnewspaper verse. 1t is the
month when the boarding schools take their
vacations, and tender maidens are moved
to air themselves in verse. Tue shakes and
shivers andthe intor cable iufuepzas, of March
are over, and April, the mouth of mingled
austerity and mildness is past. The billiard
room gives place to base ball and other out
door athletic sports. The glttering ball
room is succeeded by the evening promenade
and the moonlight boat ride. The fashion,
able resorts are opened and the frequenters
Of such places begin to talk OF what they
snail fill their corpulent trunks witbal. Th.
young lGGiessglory in new found life, and
tlirt about dressed in their spring attire, ant
are rapturous in their praises of The delight
ful weather. In short it is the month o
new hopes, aspirations and joys, aud the
time when toilng humanity is renewed tt
start sfresh and grappie with another year

THE OLD PARADE GROUND.


TFrom the New Orleans Picayuue.
spriug with her rosy flags nnfnrled
Tents on the old parade,
Sweety her wild musicians sing
Where once the bugles played.
With crested helm and nodding plume,
knights OF the Sun and Dew,
Her flower. cbivaIry spring forth
In colors bright and new.
And plebeian daisies rise and form
In little companies
While back and forth iu gilded mail
Hurry the courier Bees.
Here where hundred borsemen rode
With jingling bit aud spur
Sqnadrons Of timid patIidges
Rally and wheel and wbir!
There where the plowman guides bis
plow
Lies the old camping ground
With quick and tender memorier
Sentineled around.
Behind the fence the brambles scout
Or meet in tborny fray;
The gaily turbsned holly yhock
Is marshal Of the day.
Only cricket fTer pipes
The time for gay review;
Only the drummer locust.
At sunset beats tattoo.
