APRIL FOOL.

"Oh,motherl" shouts little George
from the sitting room, "only see
what a great crack is in this stove"
"Why George! you don't say"
exclaims the good mother, as she
comes flying from the Kitchen: April
fool" says George, with a heary
laugh. just at this time eight O'Clock
!. an the morning Of the first of April,
there are a hundred thousand bows
and girls singing-April Fool, TO ia
theirs and mothers,uncles and aunts.
brothers and sisters, play-mates and
friends. | wonder how many OF
them have the slightest idea, of the
origin of the custom! Here is the
explanation given in Appleton's
American Encyclopedia;
The first day of April, is called
in the English language, April Fool
Day; but the custom of sending peo-
pie on empty errands and laughing
at them, is common TO every coun-
try in Europe, and wherever the
Europeans have settled on this con-
tinent. Few accounts are given of
its origin.
The Orientalscholars say it is de-
rived from the hull feast OF the Hin
docs, where "a similar custom pre-
walls. The older opinion is, that il
comes from a celebration of Christ's
being sent about to and fro, between
Herod, Plate and CaiaphaS. In
Frnce. the man caught is called
silly fish, like a mackereI, easily
caught. In Scotland he is a Gawk,
which means a cuckoo.
The word April, by the Romans,
meant to open, because the buds
open in that month, and the flow.
ers and leaves come forth. The
Dutch call it the grass month. On
antique monuments April is repre-
sented dancing youth with a rat
tie in his hand.-F. d. G. in Field
Notes.

--@ 49,
Dixie rule is very good thing 20 talk
about, but not 80 pleasant in experience.
No man can look at the enterprising,
rich, prosperous, and continually grow
ing North, where ell the necessaries and
luxuries of life abound at reasonable
prices, and then deliberately choose to
make his home among the rebels Of a
bankrupt Confsderacy, concern which
is government in name only. II is not
natoral. The most rabid rebels, who
sing ".We'il live and die in Dixie" at
the top Of their voices, don't mean one
word of it, A few days ago, several
rebel families of this city, mustered up
courage enough to say that they would
rather go South than take tho oath, and
the authorities kindly sent them beyond
the lines" They did not expect to be
taken at their word so readily, but they
mustered up courage to &c. The CORES
pendent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
writing from Murfrsesboro, says
Several found their courage falling
them when they and their traps were
put of the ambulances which car
ried them through the lines, and begged
to be taken back again, Some Of them
shed tears.
The feeling which would prompt any
man to go South now, must be akin to
that desperate feeling which actuates the
suicide. II there ever was an earthly
hell, Dixie must be the place, and we do
not wonder that even rebels themselves
enter its melancholy gates with tears.

Everything Working Well--Fort
Sumter Shows Signs Of
apprehension.

NEW TonK, August "a Charleston letter

away with everything promising success,
though perhaps not as soon rs some may wish.
All things are working well. We know that
great anxiety il felt in Charleston for the safe
ty Of the city.
Last week there were hanging from the
parapet Of Fort Sumter, as protection to the
walls, lines Of cotton bales. It told US plaInly
that our 15-inch shot we're equal to ita dc.
struction. Bnt the cotton bales are now
gone. Set on fire, az they were, BY their own
yy,ns, :kcy were obliged to take Them down,
and are now piled In scorched heaps behind
the fort.
Everything betokens fearfulness on the
part Of the rebels here, which is very encour-
aging to us.
