FIRST APRIL FOOL DAY

The April fool custom, says the
London Public Advertiser of
March 1S, 1863. arose from "the
mistake OF Noah sending the dove
out OF the ark before the water
had abated, on the first day Of
the month among the Hebrews
which answers to our first of
April, and to perpetuate the
memory of this deliverance 1t was
thought proper, who ever forgot
so remarkable a circumstance, to
punish them by sending them
upon some sleeveless errand sim
liar TO that Intellectual message
upon which the bird was sent by
the patriarch"
Which may, or may not be why
you we're fooled April first.
