Chester and Fairfield counties.
On the first Saturday in May,
long, even before King Solomon -(!
shows his cheery face, the people u 1
are astir, preparing for the picnic
which comes but once a year.
The girls, take unusually long to j rei
n nke their toilet, for their hair j
must he curled, and arranged in I
the latest style, while there are j
rutlles to he fixed, ribbons t< I
loop and flowers to be pinned hero j
and there. When, nearly a box i
of powder and paper of pins have \
been used, then it is, she declares, ! ;
herself real pretty and ready to 1
go. Every conceivable mode of
travel may lie seen, some in car- !
riagcs, wagons, horse back bicycling
and even walking. It was
largely attended?gay groups
representing the separate towns
and counties, especially, will we
mention the youth and intelligence
of Lancaster, which added much
to the merry throng, also two of ^
Camden's gallant young men,
who, notwithstanding their long
fatigueing journey, never seemed
to tiro of assisting the fair maidens
over the stony paths, and Waxhaw,
the old historic hirth-plaee
of Andrew .Jackson sent forth
some of her nohle daughters. i
The beautiful were present to
borrow new beautv from the 1
. 1 '
magnificent scenes and it was
quite unnecessary to ask the ever
ready question, "Have you enjoyed
die pic-nic?" for the oumor
ons bright eves and merry faces
bespoke untold volumns of secret
pleasure. Many hidden treasures ,
of tilt; heart are innocently pre- ^
sented to view through those
same little windows and some I
certain couples had better have a
care lest others, besides the pie- j
nickers, guess their secret. j \
My friends, have, of course, |
experienced unbounded pleasure i
hut there are those who expe- ?
rienced both that, and hounded
pleasure, or pain one, f<?r in en
<leav< ring to gain the summit of
those rocky cliffs, would loose
. Tr
their footing and tumble or slide
to the bottom. It was fun to the
t ?r
lookers on, but, 1 imagine, not jl(l
much foi the participants. The l>i
day was indeed delightful?heaven ,fM
having kindly spread a veil of
clouds to protect us from the sun rel
and softly fanned the heat away, rei
with the Catawba's gentle breeze. o
The delicate laurel and heauti- \ti
fill lillies were in full bloom and
deeply ensconced in their rich r,>l
green foliage are emblems of tri
purity, sweetness and innocence. <te
While gazing in admiration, I n<1
wondered if it wore in my power, .
to grasp such a degree of perfec wi
tion. I can but lift up my hands m)
and hope, that I, yea, every one HHI
may shed an influence so pure and
sweet, as the delicate aroma,
which comes from theae little
jdeasures. When the shadows

3(1 fare wells were said and the I
jrry-makers diapered for their
karate hones.
Now, their faces are not so

lengthy journey, he mad&
