Agreeably Fooled.

AS may be imagined, she didn't kick a
plug hat OIL the pavement which innocent
ly covered brick. She didn't endeavor
to pick up the old purse that was nailed
hard and fast to the sidewalk, nor did she
open an empty band box supposedly to
contain an Easter joy, because if she had
been guilty of such folly she would not
have been agreeabIy fooled. I"
Some mischieyous person gave currency
to rumor to the effect that a certain
well known young lady of our city was to
be married on Saturday, April l. of which
fact she was entirely oblivious, and nat
urally she was highly surprised and puz-
zled when presents and gifts. varied and
appropriate, began to arrive at intervals
during the morning. The young lady re-
manned in this state of bewilderment for
some time, not knowing what to attribute
this lavish generosity upon the part Of
her friends, not being aware of anything
which had occurred to increase her popu-
larity and beirg positive that she had done
nothing to gain notoriety she was dis
tressed and upset. when something hap
pened which caused her to become serious
and thoughtful. With much gravity she
opened the latest package which was
little box containing the cutest pair of
baby shoes imaginable, and inside the box
was also card from one of her very in
innate friends wishing her happiness. pros.
perity and everything nice, when she dis.
carded the mantel of single blessedness
for that of domestic bliss. Then il
dawned upon this unsuspecting young
lady that it was the first day of April, and
that some persons had been thinking it
was her wedding day, when really she
was not to be married at all. She is now

the rumor, and IL he wishes to keep in her

Sanitarianism.

The weather conditions during the past
winter have been productive of many
different kinds of sensations all over this
continent, and especially Throughout the
Southern country has its capriciousness
and fckleness been most startling, and
gratifying from the fact that the rigorous
winter will warrant healthy spring and
summer; but the prospects for our good
doctors are not very flattering. if there is
any faith to be imposed in the theory that
protracted cold and freezing temperature
has the effect of destroying the dreaded
microbes and disease germs in the South,
and the end is not yet, .'0ld winter still
