NAV Day.

May day is May 1. In ancient times
the Romans used to go on May day in
procession to the grotto Of Egeria.
The Nay festival, extending from
April % to May 2, was kept in honor
of Flora, goddess of flowers. From
this beginning the holiday came to be
generally celebrated in Europe, the
people stopping work for the day and
going "a-Maying." that is. into the
woods and fields to enjoy the spring.
The people danced round a May pole,
which was regarded by some as a
heather performance and was finally
forbidden by law In 1914. Idle row.
dies made trouble on this day, TAX
ing advantage Of the festival spirit.
In late decades 1t became an occasion
for organized lawlessness in some
countries.

Patriotism.

What is patriotism? Is it a narrow
affection for the spot where man
was born? Are the very clods where
we tread entitled to this ardent prefer
ence because they are greener? No.
sir; this is not the character of the
virtue, and it scars higher for its
object. 1t is thus we obey the
laws Of society, because they are the
laws Of virtue. In their authority we
see, not the array of force and terror,
but the venerable image Of our coun-
try's honor. Every good citizen makes
that honor his own, and cherishes it
not only as precious, but as sacred
