April comes, sending its lymph-blood
through all vegetation, and mixing. the
ground one green. In the ancient
A'ban calendar, the year was represented
as consisting of ten months, and among
them April. credited with thirty-six days,
stood first. Numa's twelve month. ca :
lendar assigned it the fourth place, with
twsny nine days, and thus III rstHainad
till the reformation Of the year by Juiias
Caesar, when it obtained its present
quota of thirty days. The name of this
month is supposed to be derivedftom
the Latin word aperio, + OPEN Our
Anglo. Saxon ancestors called it oster-
'nonatA, or month of East Winds and it

April, and consumptives who have such
dread of March hail it's approach with
hopefnlness. Though supposed TO be
fickle, the month has always been. re-
garded by poets and imaginative writer's
with great favor, as it furnished them
with many pretty conceits, and pointed
the moral OF changes SO appropriately.
