A. A. titt.nCRT. The 3?cthodist S. S. Picnic. The picnic of the INTethoclist Sunday School took place on last Thursday at Team's Grove. It was in every respect a very pleasant occasion to ' Jl l.il-1 .11./I /.1,1m. ii/iVioum UOIU LJJL" lUJimiCll iuivi tmvi who were present. At an early hour in the morning the crowd gathered at the Methodist Parsonage, from whence they were conveyed in wagons to the scene of the day's enjoyment. After arriving at the" grove, the children scattered themselves around under the shady trees and on the grassy lawns, to lind amusement as best suited their inclinations. Some kept the swings in steady motion, some played games, while others turned themselves loose in a general romp all through the delightful woods. The croquet ground was well patronized by the ladies and Gentlemen, while others of these ar rayed themselves in picturesque groups under tlie shady trees, to pass the time in gentle conversation. We at one time saw our Senior hacked up against a tree, entertaining a bevy oi' ladies with his elo quence, but we did not, got near enough to leant whether lie was discoursing upon the latest styles in spring bonnets, or the effect that Hayes la,st yoto message will have upon the cotton crop, uur tallest esteemed Contemporary was making himself generally useful cheating at croquet, and the Judge was with the people his own size, swinging the children until he was red in the face. Wo saw some lovely young ladies 1 \l * 1.. 1 ail 10 ciicm.vivs in me woous, ami made: for tlh.in; hut we ?ii<l not siay in their company long, for they were talking about what a good time they would have if their sweethearts were only there, ami we did not receive any encouragement to suppose we were one of them. 80 we sorrowfully vended our war back and mounted guard over the lunch has kefs. There wo staid until the kind ladies who had these matters in charge got ready to spread the feast. The table was the ground, covered with snowy clothe, and upon these was sooff placed a most tempting ami bountiful repast. About this time we began to feel happy, too. When everything was ready, the horn was sounded, and everybody assembled for dinner. Then an in ' 1 Tl?. lUfl,. J r.ClVSUUJJ bt C JiL' iuu atuu l'oll;s were liist lulpal with bounti fill hand, and then the older ones partook. The Judge took advant age of his size, and got helped with the little ones. A kind young lady got a gr?;u j.il.; of goodies for him and put them on a chair. She then placed two chips for him to stand on. mo lie could reach the top, and lofr :t servant with him to prevent the lug 1-oyn tiohi tailing his dinner away. A loitier kind lady took charge of us, and fed us on seventeen different kinds of cake until wo couldn't toil a "gunger" from -floating island." Our Senior behaved himself very nicely, and waited on six young ladles at one iinu.. Our tallest esteemed Contemporary eat so much salmon and sardines that he imagined he was a whale, and the lasf we sa*" of him he was making his way to the creek, to find a local habitation and a name. 4 TA "I.* -.t-vn 1.11 IT Ulll 11U1 iiimiM-iiirmn xxsumcd. A slight shower caused all lo seek shelter for a while, but the sim soon oeaniod out a<juin; and joy was unconiined. After wandering around objectless for a while, we found some ladies who seemed to he willing to endure us. and we soon felt s<? happy in their company that if Joshua iuiit been there, we would have asked him, as a personal favor, to command the sun to stand still for at least live hours, lint the sun went down, and the joy had to end for tlint day. The little ones and tIn hi;: ones were packed into the wagons, and brought saf'ly back to town.

And here allow us to pathetically remark tlmt we spend our years (we have no money to spend) as a caudal appenduze that is expressed. Of all this we arc forcibly reminded by a knowledge of the fact that aiiothor week has goDo by, and you will be expecting us to report the happenings, natural consequences, foreordinations, &c.. which have accidentcd, culminated, evented, &c., in this part of the "vale of tears." And we are at a loss, for there is nothing to report. Those who are not sick are well, tho?ic who arc not dead are alive, those who ant not married arc trying to be. and as our preacher sometimes s>a)s, "her name is viey vcrcyand so on down through the chapter. So you see there is absolutely nothing to report. This being the case we thought we would moralize some, but we've endeavored to reff et. muse aud meditate ' ail iu vain. So bright and l^ppy thoughts like an inspiration conies to our reiicf. We thought about the ox odus of the dusky pc?< of the nation to the land of the grasshopper, and how if the nigger whom we know, would i "git," and let the country fill up with I foreign tramp* and Yankee devils, who j we do not know, it would fill our pock els with "rocks," and the land fl w with j miik and honey. We've tried to imagine some gr"at good thing would happen,if som-thing else had not happtn-'d i about fourteen years ago. We've meditated on the Men law and the hoiueu sff.n.-l I'vemntion. and liuW if we Could got 1ju?rely in debt on a "basi<" of land instead of cotton, and would have to bo -uod in the courts instead of the pros- ] nt system of death grips," for pay. how happy anu prosperous we would bo All in vain. We c;iti't figure it. out S- cmsto us it is "tweedledum" or"twcedlcd'-e" just as you take it. This beiug the cise, wo thought w-' would round, off and quit; but it occurs to us that "vale of tears" quoted above -might he thought by some intended as a cle.-eripiive of our country, &c.. wbieh is not M:e case. We saw it in the hvrnn book and thought it would look well in our piece We have a few veils and some tears, but no "vale" if it is understood to mean anything like what the boys in the army u-cd to call a "ravine."
