May-Day.

The poets of the olden time found the
first day of May = subject for much pretty

day for the season of flowers it was special
ly worthy OF their notice. Marking the
period when Winter had retreated to his
caves in the North. and Summer came trip

inspire the poetic mind. The manner in
which IL was observed had tendency to
bring out the finer feelings of the soul.
II was day for youthful pleasures.
Young men and maidens came forth to
wear the honors and carry away the prin-
cipal share Of the enjoyment. .Going-a-
Maying" was something more than a
shadow efthings departed. Every village
had its Maypole. its troops of youth of
both sexes repairing to the woodlands
with mirth and music. its garlands and
games, and its festive rites that made the
talk of the villagers the year round. The
picture of the Queen of the May, as it has
come down to us from the time when
Chaucer celebrated May Day, is the type
OF purity. loveliness. and goodness, as
sweet as the breath of the first flowers of
spring. and as charming as their petals
newly unfolded to the sun.
But the picture of May Day is about all
that is left for the youth of this day and
generation. Its glory departed many
years ago. The chimney sweepers with
their Jack in the Green" usurped the
observance of II in "merrie England" :"
and brought it by their evil associations
