WAY Festivities.

This is flower and plenicing time
What do the schools propose to dc
about the matter? It is now in
order not for one, but several of
them, to advise tue public by first
arranging matters among them
selves and then extending an invi-
tation to the editors and their FAM
lilies to help destroy the surplus,
in order that they may publish
their elaborate programs, etc. And
then the churches and Sunday
schools seem to be mum on the SUBJ
jcct. Can it be possible that they,
too, will suffer the Wonld-be queen
to so uncrowned and cry her eyes
out for lack OF the usualquota OF
admirers that a pretty girl ought
to have should she be the lucky
one ? What is the matter boys /?
it is surely not a lack of refinement
in this age of polite advancement !?
1t may possibly be that the girls
are forced to resort to more artful
and practical plans for captivating
and capturing the youth OF to-day.
At any rate, the young folks had
better wake up and bring matters
to climax before either a pro-
tracted or camp-meetIng comes
along and spoils it all. II The last
named is to occur, we venture to
suggest the idea of moving nearer
the graveyard. There's to much
picnic promenading and Wooing
around the average camp-meeting
grounds these days, any way
Amt we right, friends ?
