We celebrate the birth of May, when trees are leafless, gra ■ dry and shrivelled, flowers pale anil rare; and catarrh lurking in every breeze, fever in every valley. Tbe holiday usaolly result* in calls upon Ibo physician, whereas, if we would give up the ailly imitation of our trans-Atlantic brethren and instjMlo * holiday on the advent of the - Summer, bow gloriously bright it would be! fben white dresses and wreaths of roses would bo variable snd not uncomfortable to tho wearer, and all would ba merry ns a wedding feast. Cannot somo of our lenders of ton commence the work of grace ? In Boston the May festiral is usually held in Music Hall, for atm. .sphere. ; and skies arn rarely favorable for oat door sports. Indeed, for that matter, the festival might as well be hold in January. Juno is the month of roses, tho sou-ton wh, n. throughout onr broud land, oar blossoming prairies, onr verdant gardent, the rose maintains its supremacy over n'l flowers, and rightly claims its title of | queen. It has boon called the ornament of tho earth— tbe brush of beauty and the breath of love. .

Bo sang tho old (Iroek poet Anacroon. centuries ago, in prnite of the "queen or flowers." Modfi n language cannot egcel it in parity of thought and exprrrsiiui.— Tbe roie among tbe ancients waa hoTil in high consideration— wot used to' adorn tbo temple and tbe palace, the solemn riles of religion and the festive gayetie* of the baoonet.
