THE APRIL FOOL. "lladu't wo the iFun with eld Mr. Bender, Tom i" u Hadn't we !" returned the lad, thus addressed. " Oh, but wasn't lie mad !" . Thus spoke two boys top;et!ier, oil returning from school at dinner time, on the first day of April. Their mother, overheating their words, said? " What about Mr. ISender, boys I" "Oh, \v<>.hr.d such fun with him. mother, as we went to school thin morning," replied 'Join. "And he was so mad,'' said Harry, the brother of Tom. " Why did he get angry with you ?" inquired the mother. " Wo made such a fool of him," was an swered. "Of old Mr. Bender*" " Yes, indeed. Torn tore from a fence a part of a si low bill, on which was printed ' Ureal Excitement,' and stole uj> behind Mr. Bender and pinned it fast to his coat. Then hadn't we the fun !" And didn't he get mad ! Ail the boys pointed at hini. and called him "April Fool;' and the men laughed. Oh ! it was such fun !"' The mother of the boys did not smile at this, but looked very serious. " I ;im sorry," said she, " that you did this, my boys. It was wrong." " Oh, but it was only for fun, mother.? i To-day is the lirst of April you know, and J lie needn't have got so angry about it. It j only made the p< ople laugh at him the more. ! But, lie is sucli a cross oi<l Fellow." " My children," said llie mother, "let me tell you something that happened to day." The little hoys became serious and came tip do.*e to their mother and listened. " You know," said she, "that Mrs. Jud-I kin has been sick all winter ?" " Yes, ina'm," was answered. " And that.she is poor ?" " Yes mu'iiir i " Well her Andrew, who is no older than j you, Henry, had to be taken from school and put to work in a printing office, where lie has been receiving a dollar and a quarter a week. Yesterday the little fellow liojiril (lint- )V'r, lV*1irl??r nn n(liiv? hK1., 1 nil 1 tiiat lie would pay 011c that suited him, nvo dollars a week. The situation would, besides yielding more motley, bo much easier, and lie would have time and opportunity to improve his mind. " 60 Andrew told his mother about it, a'u! she agreed with him that iL was best to call upon Mr. Bender, who had known his father, and befriended him while living 011 more than one occasion. "A little while before nine o'clock, Andrew stepped around to the ottice of Mr. Bender, which was not far from where he worked. Be opened the door and went in with a hopeful yet trembling heart. Mr. Bender sat in his threat arm chair, with a newsDa peril) iiis hand. Looking up us the door i turned on its hinges, he fixed an nngry look ! upon the buy, and said in a sharp quick voice?ft- . " What do you want ? ha !' u 1'oor Andrew's hopes were dashed to the ground bv this reception. He stani niered out? "'Do you want a boy, wr?,M " 'No ! Clear out you' little rascal!' replied the old man, in a rough excited voice." "The lad turned away, without n word more, and went batk to the pi in ting office. Hut his heart was almost broken by the rude repulse and disappointment. Now, my boys, can von tell whv Mr. Bender, who is. in thn ma'n, n kind hearted roan, repulsed Andrew Judkin so harshly ?" " Jin was angry about something, I suppose," said Thomas. "Cj n you guess what that something wap?" " Was it because we made hiin an April fool r ' Most probably," returned tho mother. "You say he was very angry <" " O yes. He was as mad as he could be, and shook his fist at us " " You hud your fun, as you call it," said the mother to the boys, " but poor Andrew Judkin has, in all probability, lost a good place in couscquence. He will hardly venture back again to the office of Mr. Hender." M I don't think." remarked one of tho lads. " that it was very manly in Mr. Bender to j ^et into a passion just because we made j hi in an April fool. We played tricks on j other men, but they only laughed at m, and j so wo had fun all around." "All men arc not aliko,'* was replied to ! this. " Some are sensitive on one point, and some on another. Few persons can War ridicule, though some have the power to conceal its effects, while others have not- i Mr. Bender has, naturally, a quick, irritable j temper, and is, besides, sensitive to ridicule, j Such being the cjtse, it was scarcely possible i for him not to get angry when two little j boys were so rude as to make sport of him ' in tlie street. No doubt he felt mortified, j V. f ? ! i?? 1-: ?V I luwimuio, wi uiiia UIIWII^ luev ilia SUI-COD- I trul; but ere tliere had been tiiue euough j for this change in his feeling to occur, poor Andrew came with his petition, and received an angry repulse." " I'm sorry," Bald ITarrv, appearing trou- j bled, ,l that I made fun of Mr. Beuder.? I'm sure I wonldii't haVo done so, if I had thought he was going to get so very angry. Dot, if we did wrong, I don't think lie did right in treating Andrew as he did. Andrew didn't make fun of him" " All injustice is wrong iny Mm,* replied ?i.A .??i -i?>?

BY ALECK. j 4 1 hain't never told none on you about j ! the time when the boys made sich a terrible j ! mistake in the jugs, has I boys?' asked old , I Uncle Billy Landers of a crowd w ho hnd i ! gathered around hint during Coint week, in ^ tlie (own of I- , Ala., for Uncle Hilly , ! was a great story-teller, nnd always 4 had a; ' crowd' when lie was in town. j 4 No,' lei's hear it, Uncle Billy,' said a doz- ! I en voices. 4 Well, just hand that corn sperrits over j : here a minit first. This here weather's so i denied hot that a white man of good raisin' j : can't talk 'thout imbibing occasionally.' : Here the* old man took a drink of the ' 'sporiits'that would have rendered almost; j any other man tight, but which only made i him talkative. Then setting down the jug, ! | lie drew an old greasy silk handkerchief j j from his pocket, wiped the perspiration from j his face, and commenced :? 4 Well, you see, bovs, I never like to tell j this here story, 'cause I ain't disposed to be ! hard on the poor fellows, but it's raly too good to keep. Last spring, a lot on us, Job L>ow- i dy, Ike Sturdivent, Joe Dobbs, and some of j ; the other boys in my district, concluded we'd j : take a load of truck down to Wetunipky i ' and sell it, and buy such little tilings .is the : wimmin fulks wauled. We had a mighty ! peart time of it goin' down, which it was a i mighty lively crowd of us. Nothin' cur'oas , or interesting though, didn't happen, an' we 1 all arriv down to Wetunipky 'right side up,' j as the}' say on the boxes of glass. 4 Wetumpky is the derndest higgost place i ever I hearn of, and I do believe they have j everything thar, an' a little more. Book stores, drug-stores, and lickcr-shops, where j they have more different kinds of sperits j than we ever hears of, way here in the back- j woods?old Koniack, 'bout a thousan' year j old. liPllfll. rot-friit..

But I tell you, boys, if you ain't j usen't to it, be keerful how you tech that ' truck what they call champagne, for it's the ! derndest stuff to lly into a feller's head you I ever hearn. One of them stoie fellers, what j liau bought my cot ion, iuck me uowu io one of the bar-rooms (that's what tln?y call the licker-jhop,) an' called for Hume champagne an' axed me to drink with him, and as that's soincthin' ver old Uncle Billy never has 110 objections to, I jest takeued a few diinks, an' the way it set the old man's head a spinnin' was eur'ous. 4 Well, arter we sold out our truck, and laid in what we want, wo tuck up our march for home, which tbeie was several of us, and o ....rtri l~..~ ...? wi ? (^wu ivug oiling ut un^wua. *? iivrii wc j gol to the camp llio first, night, I felt power ful tired, which 1 had walked a good deal ! and had taken a good deal of sperits with them Wetumpky fellers, the derndest chaps for trealm1 ever this child started up, an I wont to bed yearly, leavin' the boys rouud the fire talkin' 'bout mutters an' things. 4 Next mornin' I got up, and found most all of 'cm was gone off from the camp, and them that was thar looked might}* pale sickly like. Thinks I what can be the matter with these here boys ? You aee 1 did'nt suspicion nothin' of them as was'nt there, cause 1 thought they was walkin* about lookin' at j the country. 3'resently they commenced 1 stragglin' in, hut all of 'em looked pale and sick, like them at the fire. Thinks I something wrong, hut never mind, we'll see what it is, 'lore long. Ike Sturdiveut's old nigger Tom, was the cook for the crowd, and purty soon the hoecakc and ham was ready for us; hut none of 'em didn't have no appetite.? Thinks 1, them there hoys is been a spreein' on it last night, while 1 was asleep, and they feel bad this movnin'. Every now an' then one of 'em would shoot off, like a rock, and come back arter a little lookin' worse than ever. 'Never mind,' ees I, something wrong.' ' Arter breakfast,! commenced hitchin1 up to start, but most of the boya looked like uiey whs 100 sick io gu on, an' as 1 didn't want to leave 'em, I unhitched again, an' tuck a seat lo watch. Souie of 'em was lyin' on the grass, with their arms under their j heads, some settin' up against trees, tryin' to look like they didn't feel had, whilo some were settin' with their elbows on their knees, and thi-ir heads down, lookin' for all the world like they had lost all their relations. Avter I looked at 'em long enough, I got up j and went (o the wagon, where 1 had a jug j of mighty good Moiiongahaly, and thought j I'd give the bovs a dram, and it might do'em j good. When I got there, the whole thing | was plain as daylight. 'J'har sot two iu<?s. ; - ? j o ' i as like, ns two pecs, one kind of stuck back I in the wagon, whar I bad put it, and the j other sctt^n* in front, with tbecork out. Yon : fitc them Vt>y? know'd I bad good lickcr in ! my wagon/ \ybich 1 was a better jmlge of j the article tban any of 'em, so as I was asleep 1 they goes to the wagon to sample it; but tho two jugs was so' much alike, they got hold of diie what had in it?<vhat do yer reckon ??uot Monpngohaly, but castor oil. Joe Dobbs was the first one that sampled it, an' and he was determined the bAlaut-e should be fooled aa well as him, and sent the others up, and tliur they had drunk, j amongst 'em, nigh on to a gallon of castor oil. And didn't I laugh when I found it out! think you rnout a heered me a mile.? Them boys was mighty sick nil that day, Kilt.

I spoke to her father, and turning to her asked her if she knew her condition ? ' I know that tny Redeemer liveth," said she, in a voice whose melody was like the sweetest strains of the ^Eolian. You may imagine the answer startled me, and with a very few words to this like import, I turned from her. A half hour passed, and she spoke in that same deep, rich, melodious voico. "Father, I am cold, lio down beside me and the old man laid down by his dj'ing child, and she twined her arms around his ne? k, and murmured in a dreary voice, "dear father, d*ar father."

There, with simple rites, the clergyman performed his duty and went to tlio grave. The procession was short.? Thero were hard}' men nnd rough, in shooting jackets, and some with rifles on their shoulders. But their warm heai'ts gave beauty to their unshaven faces, nnd they stood in reverent silence by the grave. The river murmured, and the birds sang, and so we buried her. I saw the sun go down from the same spot, and the stars were bright before I left, for 1 .always had an idea a grave yard was tho nearest place to heaven on earth; and with old Thomas Brown, I love to Bee a church in a grave yard, for even its we pass through the phtce of God on earth, so we must through the grave to tho temple of God on high. PvLVKitiziKG the Soil ?It is believed, and indeed, the fuct has already been abundantly demonstrated, that the finer the soil is, tho more fertile will it be. Tull supposed that minute disinterntion or commu moat ion was all tliat was essentially w-chssiiry to render any land productive and fruitful, and that no matter what might be its original character, tho plough, freely used, would render the application of stimulating manures, or pabulum of any kind, unnecessary. This, howevpr, even his own experiment, instituted for. the express parpose of establishing tho validity of hiB idolised theory, proved untrue. Still, in all cases minute pulverization is a vast benefit to any soil, and the more perfect the coinniiuntion or division of (lie constituent r.u,?;,.uo ?i.~ ? ?" |.nii,ivi<.a ia, lUD I1IUBL WllllUC'llCiy call WC relv upon the success of the future crop, what ever it may be. By ff?jneht ploughing, even the most tenacious and adhesive lands will bo ameliorated ; they will be exposed more thoroughly and effectually to the fertilizing effects of dews*,rains, atmospheric influences, and the enriching action of solar heat.
