Into the Woods.

The children in the city schools having been
denied their annual May Day excursion into the
woods, on account of the interference of a storm,
took occasion yesterday to avail themselves of
that privilege. For il is found that May Day,
like the Fourth of July, can be postponed on ac-
count of the weather" Merry children were they,
ia many groups and clusters, as they filed out of
The city in every direction to the silent woods'-
s)me choosing the seclusion of Greenwood
church" temple out 10 the broad fields, reared
indeed and adorned by the Almighty, which the
rIthle,s hand of man has spared in all its native
beauty aud simplicity. The blue sky is the arched
ceiling of this temple, the spring vioets deck the
sanctuary on every hand the birds are the men,
bers of the choir land there Is no quarrelling
among them as to which shall be the
lesder,) the br1eZes of heaven furnish the
accompaniment, and the Creator, through his
works, is the silent though eloquent preacher.
Others were attracted to the hills and the woods
in rear of the State House, where the charm of
variety in green fields, tangled wildwood, rough
pastures, rocky hillsides, nurmurng brooks and
dashng waterfalls, spread out their varied tempta-
tions. Others still mounted to the crownng
heights of beauty. and of grandeur, in the vicinity
of "Oliver's Ledge" and "Main top" where
miles of the enchanting scenery of the Kennebec
valley spread out to their gaze. The day was
charming, and all that could be desired for the
quest of pleasure. Ofcou,se the trophy most de-
sired and first sought for the meek and mod
est May-hower, the pearl of all the fragrant flow
ers of early sTring-time. But the season has ad
vanced with such rapid strides that the favorite
flower had "bloomed TO blush unseen" and those
the children were able to gather yesterday,
bore no comparison to the rich trophies plucked
week or ten days ago. But the wild
vioets and pansies and the graceful lilies of the
valley, sprinkled the fields and pastures adjoining
the woods with white and blue and pink. The
swelling buds on the trees seemed ready to exrand
into green leaves shutting out the sun, the genial
warmth of which seems now so grateful. The
green leaves of the "box-berries" hide their fruit
age of red berries; dandelions deck the landscape
with gold, and the running evergreen vines awak-
en- to new life and beauty at the touch of the
wand of that great magician, Spring. So there
were attractions enough for the days campaign
of pleasure, and the rosy faced, happy children
returned with garlands of flowers and wreaths of
evergreen, they counted yesterday rcd-letter
day in their youthful experience.
