We have ho'idays, patriotic and social, all of which have their pleasant associations and reminiscences; bat the first of Muy has absolntely mone. Al its recollections and surrcuncings are of discomfort, disaster aud pain. Homes thst have been endeared and sanctified to us by family joys and ecmtorta—by the marriage of those to whom we are bound by ties of blood—by the birth of children, and, perhaps, alas! by ceath, are forsaken and become the abode of strangers, never to be cure agaix; while we submit to the annoyance ard inconveniences atteniant upon occupying strange anc as yet comfortless apartments, under the delusion that they are better. thay our old home, or, perhaps, because they are cheaper. Then pecunlarily moving is a grest loss to the poor. There is & proverb extant in this city, which runs— “Three removals areas bed asa fire,” which is as near the truth as proverba usually are, Furniture is frac- tured, glars broken, crockery smashed, and utensils that cost money to procure, are misinid ani lost. Then there is seruobing, papering, painting and repeiring, all of which eosts money, and of course brings no return. Moving day is, certainly, a great nuisance; and as yee- verday eas ont and raw, for the season, it was particu- larly unpleasant. 1 first of May was formerly regarded as the advert of suramer, and was bailed-with rejoicing, as usheri: the season of flowers and plessant ‘and food: but we, to our shame be it said, have n9 such beactiful rites, but devote the day to the most menia! uses. There ise pleasant custom extant in D Engiard ot preseat- ing @May baskets” to friends on May morning. Tuey are wade of colored tissue paper, and decerated with nb bons and flowers. Some are very beautiful. These are bung on the door secretly, being early ia the morning, with @ nota cr the name of the fortunate owner attach Some contain valuable presente. We have bearc ofa young New Engiend minister who had a svt of silver pre- f#entec to him in this way on the ocession of bis mar riage; but we fear it would be hardly safe to leave silver on the outaide of any door in New York.

Tt was observed that there was not 30 many families a8 urual moving out of the city this year; « fact due, no doubt, to the imcrease of rents in Williamsburg Brooklyn, and to the extension of the city railroads in this city,’ which give greater facilities for those living up town in getting to their business.

There wes but aalim attendance, and om this ascouat it was voted to eall another meetiag next Wednesday to take definite action upop the matter.
