MAY DAY.-'Come let us all Maying
go and lightly tripitto andf " were the
words of the old madrigal composed in
1865. May Day then was held IN high
esteem. In old England the May pole
was a never failing feature on the village
green, and on the first of May games of
all kinds and quaint ceremonies use to
take place. A fair rustic maiden was
chosen and crowned Queen of the day
and use to govern for few hours a ioy-
GUS and mirthful crowd of subjects. In
Pepy's Diary, written in the latter end
of the reign of Charles the Second we
find mention of the superstition that the
dew gathered from flowers before sun.
rise on May morning would beautify the
girls complexion that would take the
trouble to leave her bed and pass through
the dewy mehds. The good natured
Secretary of the Admiralty gossips pleas
antly of an expedition of this kind among
the Court ladies. and slyly hints that
earlier hours in seeking repose at night,
would be better than getting up at that |
unreasonable hour ouce in the year. II |
the girls of Nevada had to hunt dewy |
meadows to cause them to become !
charming, we fear that they would lack |
attractions. Luckily, however, they are
independent of all such aids and are al |
ways delightful, though howery meadows
and rustic bowers are somewhat scarce |
Carried AWAY. - We are glad to see
that the collection Of rubbish has been
moved away from the back of the old
theater building on Meadow Valley
street. While speaking OF this we would
inquire if it would not be we'll for the
inhabitants of that block to have the
space in the rear of their premises
cleared of the rubbish that has SO long
been accommodating there. When the hot
weather comes the reeking mass will not
give forth very pleasant or healthful
doors. There is pig-sty in the same
vicinity that during the Summer months
will be found to be anything but agree
able.
BLUsrERoUs. - Yesterday soon after
noon it clouded up and blew great guns
for a time. At the further end of Lacour
street the dust was perfectly binding
and flew round in great whirls that set
everything movable in motion. The
cans, clapboards, litter and rubbish of
all Kinds went flying around in most
: admlxed confusion, after short time
. 1t cleared off, but q small quantity of
7 rain having fallen. For time it looked
+ so threatening that many feared one of
l those disagreeable guests, a cloud burst,
t was about to visit US.
q MAY PARTY.-On Monday evening the
v Young Mems Social Club will give an.
+; other of their delightful parties. 1t is to
u be May party and during the evening
. fair little Miss will be crowned queen
= of the festivities. The occasion will be
full of interest and enjoyment and the
