LippincOtt's Magazine.

The May number of this popu- lar monthly is very attractive. The opening paper Illustrated ] is descriptive of trip "up the Parana and in Paraguy." The author of Plindpits tells us Chow Lady Louisa Moor amused her self" Mir. Edward Kearsley con tributes poem which is very re- markable for it's vivid, descriptive, poetic energy. There is very interesting paper by Alexander Delmar on "overworked women." Miss Lazarus furnishes some charming verses called "Spring Joy" Ofa totally different varie- ty is a well-written paper on Frederic Lemaitre, the French dramatist, of whose acting Dick ems declared that It was the finest he ever saw. Frank Vincent, Jr., contributes valuable paper styled "Northward to High Asia" "Be- hind their Fans is an amusing sketch. Mir. Black story, "Three Feathers" reaches q climax, but only the beginning of "what be- comes of it" appears in this num- Der. There are other papers of special interest. The Monthly Gossip, as ever, is very entertain ing, and, altogether, the May num- Der is unusually enjoyable.

darken our land; also the necessi- ty and manner of dispersing those sshadows'' with the religious, so- cial and intellectual sunshine" in clear, forcible and charming style, which with the admirable manner of reading, rendered it doubly appreciated, especially as it was prominently adapted to the present time and condition of society.
 Miss FANNIE JOHNSON, of At kins, read an essay on the subject of "Evanescence," which from it's beautiful construction, poetical sentiment and fullness of truth, was fully esteemed by an admir- ing audience.
 During the intervals between the speeches and essays we were entertained with sweet Sunday School melodies, by the choirs of the respective schools. The Rev. MT. Dodson of this place, made a few remarks which closed the in tellectual feast, when the baskets, or rather their contents were called into acquisition which were spread out by fair hands and full justice speedily done them.
 We were now free to spend the time as best suited-some in short rambles. some with the ball and mallet in the game of croquet, and others in lively conversation, until the shrill whistle of the locomotive announced the time of departure, which was heard with some de gree of reluctance, for doubtless ii we had had our way the sun would have again stood still for awhile as it once did of old, but for a diff. ferent purpose.
 1 Upon the whole our picnic was a complete success, not soon to be forgotten by the happy partici pants, aad many q fond reminis- cence will revert to the time as a delicious island in the current oi life.

Beautiful Twin Brides in the
 West.

We had the pleasure to see the newly-lnade twin brides nt the Gibson House last night, and must confess that more perfect exemplification oi the French sto- ry of Girofe- Girona could hardly exist. They were at supper with their husbands last night when we saw them, and q nice little tea party the four made. The bride, grooms are brothers, but not twins. 1t is not often in lifetime that one is permitted to see two broth CTS married to twin sisters. The husbands are easily distinguished the one from the other. The elder one wears full whiskers, while the younger has simply q mustaclie. The trouble to be apprehended is in the sameness oi the wives, and very pretty sameness it is. To use q homely but trite phrase, they are as like as two peas. To describe the one would be to de scribe both. They are of medium size, perfect brunettes, dress ex- actly alike, and seem to be about twenty years old. Beauty has richly endowed these fair brides and placed it's dimpled seal in the cheeks of each. How, in the or der of human passion, it came to Lass that either of the husbands could fall in love with his wife without falling in love at the same time with her sister passes our understanding. It has been sug- gested that each of the Morgan brothers fell in love with both the Stuart sisters, and, to settle the matter, put their sweethearts in 9 bag, shook 'em up, and drew cuts for the one that came out first. We suppose they know, but we don't see how either of them knows to which one of the twins he is married. They came in to supper, and by judicious assort- ment were seated each at the right hand of her husband. When they went out of the dining room one couple was allowed to get some distance in advance before the other started. to prevent confusion. Fl Cincinnati Enquirer.

Our May-day Celebration.

By our Special Rcporter.l
 After nearly twenty-four hours rain, the May-day morn awoke with lowering clouds, lowering around the horizon
 .Like contesting legions lying on their
 Round the field of battle waiting for the
 morn.
 When with new born vigor, fresh alarms
 Rushing on again to brave the battles
 storm,'
 threatening to disappoint our an ticipated Picnic, to be held here by the various Sunday Schools along the railroad from Clarks- vile to Lewisburg and from the surrounding country.
 As the morn advanced, the mur- ky clouds gathered in heavy folds, casting their shadows not only on the earth, but also on many an expectant heart. But anon, the sun having mounted higher in the heavens, and cloth ed himself in all his majesty, struck such terror to the clouds they began to disperse, letting in his joyful beams to light up both radiant landscape and anxious hearts.
 The Sunday school at this place met at the Church, and then marched to the picnic grounds to await the arrival of the other schools.
 But we were not destined to be wholly without disappointment the Clarksville school failing to come, on account of the previous rain.
 Soon the banner of the Prairie Grove school was hailed with de- light as it was seen advancing, and e'er long our hearts bounded with joy as thc special train came laundering on, crowded with laughing girls, blooming maidens, and pleasant old ladies,-eager boys, young men and old men from Lewisburg and Atkins; who after leaving the train were con ducted together with the Prairie Grove school to the grounds and received by the Russellville School with a song of welcome. How every heart swelled with de- light and pride, as we beheld the various banners, like royal en- signs of old, floating in the breez- es which sang us song of wei come, as they played among the fondly murmuring leaflets, "A full marshaled army with banners dis
 played,
 Like the Crusade of old Gin fancy beheld), satan looked on chagrined and dismayed, While angels above new choruses swelled."
 The appropriate hymn Corona tion was sung, and prayer offered by Rev. Mir. Brewer, of Lewisburg.
 Speaking was introduced by Mr. LAWRENCE RUSSELL, of this place, whose speech was not only inter esting and instructive, but rem dered attractive by the excellent manner of delivery.
 MT. FRANK WILLS, of Lewis. burg, then entertained us with a very interesting and well deliver ed speech, rich with erudition and debth of thought.
 MT. ALBERT REYNOLDS, of At kins, although quite young, also delivered an excellent speech and in a manner that would have done credit to one of riper years.
 Miss TENNIE WILSON, of Lewis burg, then read an essay, subject, "Shadow and Sunshine"-which portrayed in glowing colors and impressive terms, the shadows,
