EUfe-. . ~~ • To-day is the first day of April and we £ * think it will not come ami.s to give a short -history of this, one of the most pleasant | . months of the year. The Romans gave r 'this month the name of Apriiis, from Aperire, to open, because it is the season C ' when the buds begin to open, by the An •A. gib Saxon it was called Doster, dr Easter tflOnth; and by the Dutch, grass month. The custom of sending one on a foolish S ' errand on the first day of this month is perhaps.a travesty of the sending hither .tnd thither of the Savior, from Annas to Ceiaphaa, and from Pilate to Herod, beJ cause during the middle ages, this scene L in Christ’s life was made the subject of a p miracU play, (q. v.) at Easter which oc / curt In the month of April. It is possible, however, that it may be ar relic of some '*• old heathen festival. The custom, whatW ever may be its origin, Os playing little tricks on that day, whereby ridicule may P be fixed upon unguarded individuals ap[M pear to be universal throughout Europe pp .. and North America. In France, one thus jtet ’ ” Imposed upon is called "April fish ” In yf. England and the United States, such a U* . person iajcalledan April fool; in Scotland, HjSjh A* a gowk. Gowk isjhe Scotch for the cue—tOOj'iramib signifies a foolish person, v The favorite jest In Great Britain is to F tend one upon an errand for something r grossly nonsensical— as for pigeons milk, I. or the history of Adam’s Grandfather; or to make appointments which are not to be [ kept; or to call to a person passing by that

hfs latchet is unloosed; or that there la a •pot of mud upon his face. When he falls Into the snare, the term April fool or gowk is applied with a shout ol laughter. It is curious that the Hindoo* practice precisely similiar tricks on the 31st of March, when they hold what is called the Hull Festival. better of Thanks. To L. C. Miller, W. M.. and the mem- • bers of Decatur Lodge No. 571, F. & A. M. Dear Brethren:—! had hoped ere thia to be able to write you a letter thanking you for your many kind attentions to Mr. Peterson and myself while in your city upon our sad errand last week. While we all recognize the fact that a Ma.son’s duties in the time of sickness or death of a brother are limited only to the necessities ot the occasion, it is only when these duties are performed tor tho»e near and dear tou«, that we begin to appreciate them and more fully realize the strength of the ties which bind us together. We have laid away in Mo'her Earth the earthly portion of our brother; the spiritual, with loved ones gone before, treads the golden streets of the New Jerusaem, singing g’ad hymns of praise to the King of kings, to whose call, we must all sooner or later respond. A Mason in precept *ll his life, when, little over a year ago, he became initiated into the mysteries of our order it but strengthened his resolve to live uprightly before God and man, making the book of the holy scriptures as the rule and guide for his faith and practice. Believing that Brotherly Love, Reliet and Truth should be the principles governing all men, he recognized brethren everywhere, whom, when in distress,- it was his duty and pleasure to relieve, and to whom his seemingly inborn attribute of truth Would allow no procitv nor deceit. Temperate in all things,.he had that firm and steady purpose of the mind denominated fortitude, which enabled him to stand for right on all occasions. Regulating his life and actions [by the dictates of prudence, he was full of that jnstlce which in a good measure constitutes the real good man. An exemplary mason in his life, in his death Dan M. Peterson has but taken a step forward into the presence of the Supreme architect of the universe, by whose ever perfect designs he endeavored to* erect hb spiritual edifice. Again, my brethren, let me most sincerely thank you in behalf of his brother and for myself, tor the care of the dead, and kind offices toward us while in Decatur. Truly yours, A. F. Files.
