April Fool.

The above caption is title given by
the ancients to species of writing used by
them on the 1st day of April, or ''all saints"
day, as quiz or mirthful joke. 1t appears
that they introduced it for the purpose of
having day of general merriment. In
order to carry out their desires, they would
write an anonymous article to one of their
neighbors, or send messenger to the one
destined to be quizzed-to enquire who
'sAdam's grandfather was. The one so
sent they would call an "April Fool" or
"gowk." In England, believe, this thing
is done at the present time and the Gus
tom was quite in vogue in this country
when l was in my "teens, merely. presume,
because it was introduced by the ancients
as harmless joke.
But what says young America to this
proceeding in this fast age! Do they still
cling to and cherish it because it claims to

that ''hoops" are growing less orthat these

MISS MARY A. LEWIS addressed the Di-
| vision as follows:

Worthy Patriarch and Friends of the Order I
am Daughter of Temperance, and consider it an
honor to be Of that noble band whose object is to
suppress the evils Of intemperance. AlthO' fee
bic my efforts, will endeavor to all the infu-
ence in my power to restore the fallen, and save
the young from the ruin of inebriacy. 1t is evil
dent to every observer that the cause of temper
has enlisted in its service the prayers of the
christian, the cemmissratisn Of the phiiAnthropst
and the consideration of the patriot; and surely
woman is especially interested in its success
Great things have been done and SSH there is work
yet fct all 70 d.; and as me Diasipl hss thrown
open its doors and invited as TO come and bring 9TH
ers with us, should not consider that our pres
ence is all that is required. We should go hand
and heart against the tyranical reign of King
Alcohol. 1t is not mere matter of formality that
we have united with this fraternal band, but we
have pledged ourselves to be bold active and per-
seVering in the cause, and to do what we can to
arrest the evils of intemperance. When we look
upon the misery and sorrow that this loathsome
vice has caused in our land, our hearts throb with
anguish. We have seen wives and children redu-
ced to beggary by it, and almost every mail brings
us accounts of some of the most awful tragedies
performed in drunken trays.
Let US keep in view the objects of the Order and
the obligations imposed on US to Use all proper
measures to discourage the of ardent spirits in
the social circle and at all other places.
Lady Visitors and Sons of Gunpowder Division,
be true to your trust; do all in your power to ad-
vance this great and noble cause, until King AL
cohol is baDshed from our land, and peace and
happiness reign where drunkenness and misery
new abounds. Let your motto be onward and up
ward.

DESERVED CeMPLIMENTs.-The Editor of
the Petersburg Express, thus speaks of Mr..
Holden's Address before the young ladies Of
the Raleigh Female Seminary:
We are more surprised at the polished
sentences and elegantly rounded periods in
this production, because we know Mr. Hol-
den to be an active politician, and daily work
ing laboriously in the editorial harness Of a
party paper. 1t is really gratifying to know
that one politician, at least, can find time and
has the inclination to leave the rugged beaten
paths of party warfare, and indulge OCCASION
ally in plucking some of the most beautiful
flowers to be found in the literary parterre.
We have read the address with unmingled
satisfaction, and we would advise all Within
whose reach it may be brought, to lend it
their close attention. The principles it in
culcltes the suggestions it offers; the warn
ings it utters and the practical lessons it
enforcss, are done in a masterly manner, and
with most charming and beautiful simplicity.
The peroration is one of the most eloquent
eulogiums on the Bible we have ever read,
and does credit to the head that conceived
and the heart that prompted sentiments so
sublime and ennobling, and to the pen that
clothed them in language so winning and at
tractive.
The Goldsboro' Tribune copies the Address
in full, and referring to it editorially, says
Were we to follow the promptings Of our
feelings and the dictates of our Judgment, in
commenting on this effort, it might be sup
posed that we were influenced by personal
regard for the man, instead of admiration for
the matter. Whoever peruses it will find
that it requires no other eulogy than its,own
intrinsic merit affords. 1t is practical and
eloquent, and the splendid manner in which
he paints the -trnthful glories of Revelation,
are, as we personally know, from heart sin
cerc and a judgment enlightened Under
the circumstances, we commend the address
to every one of our readers, as among the
first literary productions Of the times

MISS LOUISA MILLER addressed the Di
vision as follows:

Worthy Patriarch /: As Daughter of Temper
ance, will endeayor to make few remarks, tho
with reluctance, feeling my incompetency to
do the subject justice The Temperance cause has
been preached and lectured upon until it has be
as an old song, but still it is worthy the most
exalted consideration and support of all mankind.
For through its influence the widow heart is made
to rejoice, and many orphan is ready to pro-
claim, blessed are the actors in the temperance
cause, for the good they have done me. If we
could but the tears and hear the heart-rending
cries and prayers that daily ascend from the heart
broken wife and starving children of the wretched
drunkard, whose heart would not melt with sympa-
thy, and be inspired to do anything no matter how
hard or laboriOus it might be, to restore them to
peace and happiness. What looks more horrid
than to see draining the poisonous cup to
the dregs and reeling and staggering along the
streets, unable to protect himself much less his
wife and children who heretofore looked to him
for support2 Is it not enough to rouse US to ac-
ton, to stop this the greatest of evils?
Is it not pity that man, the noblest work of
creation, endowed with intellect and influence,
would thus degrade himself by becoming slave
to the intoxicating cup? There is class of peO-
pie who call themselves moderate drinkers, who
take their social glass morning, noon and night,
aud say 1t does them no harm. 4 teH you, young
ladies, beware of moderate drinkers for many a
drinking beau has made drunken husband
When you are in company with young gentlemen
who are chewing cloves, cinnamon, &C., you may
take it for granted that they have been taking
something they do not want you to smell. But
am sorry to say that some ladies like to be on the
favorite side of young men that take q glass oc-
casionally; and for the sake of pleasing them
they will praise the delicious wine, and not blush
to take glass with themy if invited! Should
such lady deserve any sympathy, if she should
get drunken husband? say no for she has
declared herself to be friend to the poisonous
cup.
In conclusion, lady Visitors of Gunpowder Di
vision, let US use OUR influence in the gloriou
work, and we sure to come off victorious il
the end; and we hope the day is not far distan
when the liquor traffic will be done, and total alb
stinence resound from hill to hill. May Ged speeC

We can Conquer, if We will.

Ragged toiler-son ofiabor- ...
stoutly battling every day .....
For existence-O, my brother,
Thou shalt triumph in the fray.
On life's changeful scene Of action,
Though defeat may oft appear, ...
Thou shalt win the victor's la0rels,
Ifthou wilt but persevere.
Though thou art obscure and lowfy,
Ye may reach the wished for goal,
Grasp the prizes, wealth and station,
Ifthou hast dauntless soul;
II thou hast resolution
That misfortune cannot shake; ...
One on which the anger surges
Ea Impression fail to make.
Art thon snesrsd at and deriled
by the se!f-styled lofty born
Heed you not the fools contumely,
Or the weak minds harmless scorn
Art thou friendless-friends win gather,
As dc courtiers, king around,
When thou hast achieved distinction,
When thou hast position found.
Strong In faith, let naught repel thee,
Thou shalt In the end prevail;
In life's trials, and Its battles,
None but bastard towards fail,
Noble natures prove ascendant,
In earths mighty contest ring,
Torenown, from dark oblivion,
Robed In glory up they spring.
What II years Of fierce endeavor
Have been spent by thee in vaini
What ifthou hast met disaster?
Up and take the field again.
Wreck and ruins all about thea,
Give not up, but struggle still
Stubborn courage Is resistless,
Ye can conquer IL ye viii.

Beware.

Love, 'tis said, IL very sweet,
Seems so.gentls, speaks so fair !;
Men and maidens all you meet
singing-"Love Is very sweet 7"
But bewareL
How We listen when he sing.
Thinking all his songis true,
Ah!we do not see his wings;
Like laden bee he brings
store Of honey-but he stings,
Like 1t, too!
Bliss In oceans seems TO roll
An ! delicious, but too deep;
Soothing. while 1t rcwns the soul,
Knell oftranquil pleasure toll;
Oh the sweet narcotic BOWL
Fatal sleep.
Love IL drawn In youthful mould;
Would you know the reason whye
None have ever seen him old; .
For, II weary he, or cold,
His sad story soon Is told
He must die.
Changing as the fitful breeze,
All his found professions nought:
Lie the wind among the trees,
More to plunder than to please:
Cannot trust him on his knees:
Never ought.
Such the ELF who so ailures
Youth, unwary Of his snare:
All !the pangs the heart endures
When his victim ne secures!
Be they neither mine nor yours;
But beware .-... .:
