MY FIBST OF APRIL.
BY JOHN PEPPERORASS.
I will commeooe by informing the reader
that I am quite a young man of forty years,
and have determined to live all my days in
single blessedness in spite^f the remonstrances
of friends, and the fascioations of
all womankind. I believe that the misfortunes
I met with on last April 1st, were
instigated, thought of and planned by women
who through spite (because I would
not marry) engaged parties to perpetrate the
following tricks on me:
Ilive in a hous?J with tive stones, ana desiring
to have plenty of air and to be removed
from the noise of city life, I had selected
the fifth story. I am engaged in business
and am very little at home. Well, on
the last memorable first of April, I arose
early, and as usual went to my wash-stand
to take a healthy and cooling drink of water.
I poored out a tumbler full of clear liquid,
and at one swallow down it went; but it was
no sooner down than up it came. I thought
of poison first, remembering once having
tasted some "bltte lick" I soon accounted
for the sickening sensation I felt. I seized
my pitcher and threw up the window and
emptied the content', not on the street as I
intended; but on an unfortunate dog who
went yelping down the street, and I really
pitied that dog for the sudden shower, and
the confounded stench of that "blue lick"
was enough, vulgarly speaking, "to make a
dog sick."
I then went to the door and found it
locked and the key gone. Now I want to
say one thing, I was not intoxicated the
night before. I never do drink spiritous
liquors, and how that door key got on the
outside of my door (which I peroeived on
examination) was a puzzle I could not solve.
Fortunately the holder of the lock was inside
of my room and screwed on, so I went to
work and broke all the blades of my new knife
in taking it off. I palled open the door,
rushed out, and caught my foot in a piece of
striug at the head of the steps and took a
leap "a la harlaqvin" head formost down
twenty steps, breaking my pitcher to shivers,
bumping my head and arousing all the
tenants of the four stories below; some rushinc?

caps with expressive eyes in them from out
behind their doors, and some timid fellows
set to work and moved all the furniture they
had against the door of their room, thus barricading
their rooms from all pirafes, &c.
I recovered myself and started limping
back to my room among the muttered curse>
and jeers of the boarders; (I hate boarders.)
Even Jones whom I bad told time after
time that I did not drink, slammed the door
saying:
''Confound that Peppcrgrass, he is con
tinually getting drunk." I intend to maul
Jones the first time I catch him in a dark
corner, alone.
I succeeded in getting to my room and
went to work putting on my clothes, that is
all I could find, for it seemed "old Mak"
himself was into every thing. My pantaloons
I fouDd hanging out at my window, a
beautiful sight to passers below; my shoes
minus the strings were taking observations
from the top of my wardrobe; my coat had
turned chimney sweep and was hulf way up
the chimney; my stockings were in my coat
pocket tied up into twenty knots; my bran
"...o ofnffa.t in n hrnWpn nano; fwho
<lCfT.ua., r /v
broke that glass I don't know.) my brush
at the first rub made me jump at least four
feet in the air; on examining my brush, I
found mixed up with the bristles about a
dozen pins which was quite pleasant to
brush horse hair, but I did not require curnying,
so I dispensed all further use of it.
I went down to breakfast with face unwashed,
hair uncombed, and looking for all
the world like one who had been on a spree
for a week. There sat Jones, (how I hate
him) mith a malicious grin on his dried up,
sallow face. I set down, and to make a long
story short, my coffee was salted, ray butter
was rank, ray steak was full of red pepper,
(I never use red pepper) and my bread was
made of nasty bran.
I jumped up with an oath, (I never cursed
before,) flew out of the house, minus my
breakfast, and started down to my place of
business. There I found a note signed by
my dear friend Higgins, asking me to call
immediately at his house, as he had something
very important to communicate.
I jumped into an omnibus, and was landed
at Higgin's door, rang the bell, and the
servant came and told me that Higgins had
been away a week, and was not expected
back for eight or ten days.
"But," says I, "I have a note from him."
"Mistaken," replied the black servant
girl, showing her ivories; "guess, Mr. Petergoose,
you is April fooled."
Ah ! at last I had it; this was the first of
April, and I am selected for a fool, but I
will fool them all yet, and I rushed down
Pratt street to take the Philadelphia cars and
leave the city for the day. The cars started
in fifteen minutes. I could get there in
thirteen. As I ran the fire-bells commenced
ringing, and bearing my name called, I
turned and saw a little urchin coming towards
me. He came up, and out of breath,
(I believe he only pretended,) said:
"Mr. Pep-pep-er-grass, the store is on
fire."
I rushed back, thinking of my new coat
in the office, and reached the store, out of
breath, in time to see that hateful Jones'
rounding the nest corner, and find the store
safe in the same place where I left it.
1> wjm ton late for the cars, and I sat
moodily at my desk until dinner time. Nothing
more transpired, and thought my time
was over for persecution.
I went up to my room, and going in, the
first thing that greeted my eyes was a cart
and load of brioks standing in the centre
of the room. There it stood, every thing
complete, wheels, shafts, body and all, and
filled with the pressed bricks. I had seen
that, cartin the morning in front of the street
door; but how itcatoe up in my room in the
fift': story, was more than I could imagine.
I went to work and examined rtlosely, and
by the rather bungiy manner it was put together,
I found out seme persons (I suspected
J^nes for one) had taken that cart to pieces,
and carried it up to ifiy room piece by
piece, and then put them togetuer, then
brought up the bricks and loaded it up I
was contemplating tb;s mysterious cart and
contents, when a loud rap startled me.
I bid the tapper come in. The door opened,
and a tail, spare c an, with crape on his
around the corner, and wondered what on
earth he wanted with me. I asked him his
business, and he said he liadcomc to take the
measure of Mr. Peppergrass' body. I very
politely declined his services, and while
talking to him, another rap at the door came,
aod I bid rapper No. 2 to en:er. The door
opened, and a big Irishman cime in, bearing
on his shoulder a heavy cradle, saying:
"Is this Mr. Patcrgripe's room, sir??
Sure, I've brot the cradle you ordered, and
it is tin dollars you'll be afther paying me
for it."
I screamed out, "what in the thunder do
you think I will do with that infernal piece
of furniture ? Take it away."
Another rap, and in came a boy with a
suit of clothes, another boy bearing a large
pound cike, and still another boy, leading
two big bull dogs by a striBg. To make'my
story short, in fifteen minutes my room was
completely jammed with undertakers, men,
boys, dogs, cats, furniture, clothing, and
everything mentionable, and through the

the banister, grinning to his heart's contentI
rushed out of my room, overturning box.
es, boys, and all things in ray way, flew out
of the house, rainu3 my dinner, down to the
ofiu-e. There a large bundle awaited me. I
opened paper after paper until I came to a
small piece of board, and marked on it was
"April Foot."
1 did not attempt to go home, but sent
some men to remove that cart and bricks,
for which I paid two dollars; nor did I go
to supper, knowing what awaited me, but at
bed time I sneaked in and crawled carefully
up the steps (I am certain I heard Jones'
door creak) and went into my room. All
was quiet. I lit my lamp, locked the door,
put the key under my pillow, undressed,
and as I got into my bed i remarked "now
it is all over *" but I soon found out it was
all under, for down through the bed I went
to the floor, with a bump that shook the
house. My bed cords had been cut, and I
heard a roar of laughter through the house.
T finished my first of April, and next morning
there was a titter all round as I made
my appearance at the breakfast table. 1
know Jones was one of the instigators of my
misfortunes, and I intend to be even with
him, and when I am I will tell all about it.
Never Attempt to get out of Debt.
The man who owes nobody is a poor misererable
being; nobody manifests any inteterest
in his welfare?no body cares a continental
cent whether he lives or dies. He
is lean, hungry, and generally as poor ana
wilted as were the pinfeathers on Job's Turkey.
Look at onr great men ; they are all
debtors?owe everybody ; our men of sci
ence, our authors, our sensation ministers?
all, the entire cahoot of them, are deeper in
debt than Pharaoh's army were in the Red
Sea. Debt ennobles a man; gives h;m a
more expanded and liberal view of human
nature; keeps him moving?especially if he
never pays rent. Nothing will cure the
consumption quicker than a good dose of
debt, properly taken. To owe, is human;
to pay, divine. Therefore, till man becomes
superhuman, the science of payment?the
true modern science?is to get in debt to
somebody else to pay whom you owe. By
this means, you avoid getting oat of debt,
and yet maintain a reputation of paying.?
The greatue.-s of a nation increases with its
national debt. Make a note of this at ninety
days. v
SOT The other day, a Dutchman in Cincinnati
was severely thrashed by his 'vrow,'
and while smarting under the affliction, he
complained to the Mayor and had his betterhalf
arrested for tbe outrage, whereupon she
was fined three dollars and costs, but she not
having the money, her husband was called
upon to "fork over." Upon which he "opened
his eyes in gaeat surprise," exclaiming.
"Vot for I pny ? She vip me !" The 'statue'
was explained to him, and he paid, but announced
that hereafter his wife might wollop
dim as much as she plaasod, but he would
never again take steps to uphold the "majesty
of the law."
Into the Whistlers.?"Speaking of
bores," says a victim of one of the species,
"I scarcely imagine one capable of inflicting
more misery than an intolerable whistler.?
I can stand a fife, when all the nation is
'armed and equipped' on training days, and
a drum with its "flang, flang,' serves to
drown its screams; but to listen to a poor air,
murdered by a poor puckerer, I prefer death
in some easier, if not quicker way. I always
think of the French stagecoach driver, who,
being very much annoyed by such a bore,
turned upon him with, 'Mine friend, vat for
you all de time vissel ? You lose your dog,
eh ?'"
Household Treasures.?A treasure of
a husband?carries the baby. A treasure
of a wife?never asks for money. A treasure
of a son?has money in the funds. A
treasure of a daughter?looks the same age
as her mother; if anything, a trifle older.?
A treasure of a servant?runs to the postoffice
in less than half an hour. A treasure
of a cook?is not hysterical whenever there
is company to dinner. A treasure of a baby?doesn't
disturb its dear papa in the
middle of the night.
gtaF* "What party do yuu belong to dow.
Bill?" said Joe, the other day. "I belong
to the know?no the American?no?the

j of a varmint was it you ketched 'totber

"That's it, Joo?that's it! Op?op?what

"It is something like opposum 1" "Opposij
tion !" said Joe. "I know'd it was soraej

-- - SoT-Mr.
Junkins remarked to his wife,
that in he he possessed feur/wMs.
"Name them, my love."
"You are beautiful, dutiful, youthful and
and an urmful."
"You have the advantage of me, my dear."
"How so, my precious ?"
j "I have but one fool."
Mr. Junkies made no further remarks.
jjfcL?* A little girl showing her little cousin
.'a boy about four years of age) a star, said :
j "That, star you see up there is bigger than
j this world."
| Sr ys he, ,:no it ain't."
"Yes it is."
"Then why don't it keep the rain off?" I
said the little fellow."

SHIPPING FRUIT TO NEW YORK.
Pluck your peaches carefully, two or three
days in advance of their maturity (but only
long enough before the steamer day?every
Saturday?to get them aboard,) and take
care to send only such as are entirely free
from any bruise or decay whatever. Pack
them carefhlly with clean rye straw or leaves,
or hay (though hay is heating,) in slatted
boxes about two feet long, fifteen inches wide,
and ten inches deep?say five or six pecks to

the voyage, from softening and becoming
more compact in consequence. There should
be a partition dt>wn the middle of each box,
otherwise the fruit is injured by its own
weight. Boxes of the same width and depth,
but twice as long, are sometimes shipped, but
for divers reasons the smaller boxes are preferable.
Peaches should never be packed without
securing for them a thorough ventilation e.n
route. If it were possible to divide them into
layers, with something between to support
their weight, and render the circulation of.
air more certain, they would open in much
better order. Book-binder'syjnper shavings
are sometimes used in packing, and answer
very well.
The slats ought not to be further apart
than is sufficient to aumita man's finger, and
they should be nailed very securely, to prevent
the fruit from being pilfered after having
left the consignor and before reaching the
consignee.
Col. Wm. Gregg, of K&lmia, S. C., near
Aiken, by packing and shipping his peaches
in the manner described, and which, we believe,
he orignated, has the satisfaction of
realising from two dollars and fifty cents to
five dollars per bushel for several thousand
bushels, which he ships annually to New 1
York.
The steamer freight on the bushel or hail
bushel box is forty cents, and it is expected
that this will be paid in advance.
Consignors in the interior sending their
fruit to Charleston for shipment, will find it
for their interest to entrust this inland transportation
to the Adams' Express company, j
when convenient to do so, as it will ensure |
an earlier delivery to the 6teamship agent, |
to whose care it should be addressed. The I
express charges, and steamer's freight, must,
in that case, be prepaid to the Express A- J
gent. . |
Some country consignors employ success
fully the shipping agents in Charleston, to
get their fruit aboard, but in one or two instances,
large quantities have been left be
bind, and sold at a sacrifice. I
The merchant's commissions for selling
Peaches and other Fruits vary, but taking all
things into consideration, the result is about
the same, viz: ten per cent, on the amount
of sales. There are only three or four Peach
and Fruit Commission Merchants in this j
trade. Their address may be had at the Ex- j
press Offices.
We are advised that it is bad policy to j
consign fruit to merchants not engaged in
the business, as they do not understand how
to market them, and therefore, are glad to
get rid of them at almost any price, to the
speculators, who usually dquble their money
upon them.
As the crop is backward and meagre in
the middle States, South Carolina and Georgia
consignors of peaches can continue to
ship, with a fair prospect of remunerative returns,
until the second or third week iD
August. The best peaches will command
from three dollars to five dollars per bushel
in the New York market, for a week or two
at least.
Properly managed, this fruit trade of S.
Carolina and Georgia with New York, will
srew in a few years to be worth half a million
of dollars annually. It needs only tinintelligent
encouragement of the press to in

into this new and profitable branch of Southern
business. We know of one lady, a widow,
who added between one hundred and
three hundred dollars, this season, to her
limited income, by shiping the produce ol
her orchard.
From tho Farmer and Planter.
CUTTING TIMBER IN SEASON
AND OUT OP SEASON.
Mr. Editor:?In your last number I
made some remarks in connection with the
ibove matter. I beg leave to call the al.ten
tion of your readers to it again. It is a
thing not of to-day, but of maoy days to
come?of growing importance and iramedi
ate concern to every body?how we shall
save our timber. It does not take a very farsighted
philosopher to see that a time is not
far off when board-trees, fence posts, and all
sorts of valuable farm-timber, will be out of
reach. You may talk about re-foresling the
country?you may ornamentalize the country
by starting into life a new growth j but
it will take a centuary to get up a growih of
White-Oak, Post-Oak, Red-Oak, Walnut,
and such trees as we need for farm uses.?
We had better try to take care of what we
have.
I would like to interest the practical, observing
farmer or mechanic in this subject,
and get up a systematic series of observations.
Let rac beg all gentlemen who think
they know any thing that will throw light
upon the subject, to come out and give us
the benefit of their experience. It is very
probable that people will differ in their opinions,
but by comparison and discussion, some
truths may be elicited valuable to our interests.
Since writting my last communication to
you. I have made some further observations.

Post Oak posts cut for a garden. They were
hewn in March, and charred to about five
inches above the ground. I finished the
I garden on the 9th of March, 1852. There
were wanting three posts to complete the
line, and I sent a boy into the woods to cut
them; one was charred, and one of the other
two was put in the ground reversed. On
the 18th March, 1859, a heavy gale passed
I over my farm, and the line of garden paling
I last finished was blown down. Upon examj
ination, I found the three posts last inserted
j completely rotten?the very heart was in a
state of decay. 1 could see no difference in
i favor of the charring or inverting worthy of
! note This induced mo to examine all the
other gardeu posts. I found the sap generally
decayed, but the Iteart sound. The
charring seemed to have delayed, but not
prevented, the decay of the sap wood.
I have Post-Oak gate posts new standing,
which were put iu the ground seventeen
er posts, cut at different times, having completely
rotted in half the time, all things
being equal in the way of exposure or situation.
.Cannot yonr practical and observing
correspondent, "Laurens," throw some light
upon the subject ? (

SINGER'S SEWING MACHINES.
Prices Reduced to $">0, 875, $110, and $125.
THE plain reason why Singer's Sewing-Machines
have always sold readily at a higher
average price than any other, is that they are bet
'er, more durable, more reliable, capable of doing a
much greater variety of work, and earning more
money. Long-continued popularity is proof of
^erling merit. lathe purchase of what are called
:heap Sewing-Machines, thousands have been

the price of which is only $50, is a light and cle- (
iintly decorated Machine, capable of performing,
m the best style, all the sewing of a private fami- (
ly. It has secured a greet reputation during the
few months since it was first offered to the public.
singer's transverse shuttle-machine,

arrn-nrpment! it is verv beautiful, moves rapidly
iud very easily, and, for family use and light
manufacturing purposes, is the very best and
cheapest Machine ever offered to the public.?
These Machines are being increased in number as
rapidly as possible, and, yet the demand for them
cannot be fully supplied.
SINGER'S NO. 1 STANDARD SHUTTLE-MACHINE,
formerly sold at $135, but now reduced to $110, is

Since the great reduction in the price of these
Standard Machines, on the 1st of October, 1858,

Hickory Grove, St. Charles Co., Mo.,Nov. 19,1857.
Prof. 0. J. wood?Dear Sir: Some time last summer
e were Induced to use some of your Hair Restorative, and
s effects were so wonderful, we feel It our duty to you and
te afflicted, to report it.
Our little son's head for some tlmo had been perfectly covred
with sores, and some called it Scald head. The half almost
entirely came off in consequence, when a friend, seeig
his sufferings, advised us to use your Bestorative, we did
) with little hotw of success, but to our surprise, and that of t
U our friends, a very few applications removed the disease {
atirely, and a new and luxuriant crop of hair soon started c
ut, and we can now say that our boy has a healthy a scalp
ad as luxuriant a crop ofbair as any other child. Wecan,
lercfore, and do horeby, recommend your Restorative, as a
erfect remedy for all diseases of the scalp and hair. We
re yours respectfully,
Geo. W. Higqi.vboth.im, Sarah A. Higginbotham.
Pro. Wood?Dear Sir: My hair had for several years,
een becoming prematurely gray, accompanied by a harshess
which rendered the constant application of oil necessaf
to dressing it. When I commenced using your Hair Res>rer
about two month ago It was in (hat condition ; and
avtng continued its use till within the last three weeks, it
as turned to Its natural color, and assumed a softness and
istre greatly to be preferred to those produced by the appliatiou
of oils or any other preparation I have ever used. I
igard it as an indispensable article for every lady's toilet,
hetber to be U6ed as a Ilalr Restorative or for the simple
urpose of dressing or beautifying the hair. You have peritenon
to refer to mo all who entertain any doubt of its perinning
all that is claimed for it. ,

WELLINGTON, Mo., Dec, 5,1857. g
PROF. WOOD?Dear sir: By the advice of a friend of ,
line, who hgd been nslng your Hair Restorative, I v. as inured
to try it. I had the fever, some time last May, and
early every hair lr. tay head came out. Now my hair has
erne in a great deal thicker than ever it was. Nothing but <
duty and sympathy that I feel to communicate to others v
, ho are afflicted as I have been, would induce me to give C
his public acknowledgement of the benefit I have received
rom Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative. I
Yours Respectfully, A. R. JACOBS.

irdium and small; the small holds i a pint and retails for
