All Fools Day.

On the FIRST of April. Is unknown, even to
those most familiar with the obseryances of
antiquity.
The first of April. some do say.
Is set apart for All Fools Day.
But why the people call it SO.
Nor | nor they thsmseiye do know.
The wit consists in practjCiug all sorts OF
pranks and deceptons upon those who are
iorgetiul Of the day. by seading them on
fools errauds, after impossible thJugs such
as hen teeth. pigeon milk, stirrup oil, and
the like. There is a iancitul conjecture that
the custom arose from the mockery Of the
Saviour by the jews, who sent him backwards

Caiaphas 20 PLATE, from PLATE to Herod,
and from Herod back again 90 Piate; hut the
