THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1867.
ALL-FOOLS' DAY.
Bome Accoun or Its Supposed Origin
Wbat the Ancients Did, and What
the Present Generation Do on
that Day With a Notice
of Jokes Perpe
trated by the
Youngsters.
As next Monday will be the First of April, and
bj virtue of custom All-Fools' day, whereon
the youth especially exert their cunning for
amusement at others' expense, and as " it is a
day peculiarly celebrated by all nations, some
account of it may not be uninteresting to our
readers.
It is not our intention, however, to enter
Into a long and labored disquisition as to how,
in what manner, and under what peculiar cir
cumstances it originated, since the materials
for such an elaboration are few, and, at best,
merely suppositions. This we know that
there is such a day, that Ji invariably comes
en the First of April, and that, on that day,
jtersons innumerable are made unwilling sub
jects for all manner of practical jokes.
On the First of April, 1712, Lord Doling
lroke, at a state banquet, remarked that,
notwithstanding the Duke of Marlborough
Lad not lost a single battle in the "glorious
wars of Queen Anno," yet the French had
earried their point, the succession of the
Spanish monarchy, the pretended cause of the
wars.
Dean Swift hearing this statement,
Baid it was "a due donation for All-Fools'
day." And although the First of April had
leen celebrated long anterior to tliis time,
yet this remark of the eminent humorist
lcame the initiative of a title which thence
forward was associated with this day, now
known by all nations, and understood by all
individuals, especially after, having uncon
sciously committed some ludicrous act, they
are saluted by some waggish youngster with
"Ah! You April fool 1"
We have reason to believe that the obser
vance of the First of April as a day whereon to
render everybody ridiculous is of very ancient
origin. From the most antique records of
India, we learn that a grand national festival
took place at this time of the year. It was
customary on that day for each individual to
try and excel in creating mirth at the expense
of their less shrewd brethren. And no doubt
it was with extreme satisfaction, mingled with
chucklhigs of pleasure, that some strapping
Kajhpoot, or some bouncing Mingapoor, or
some diminutive Hindoo, witnessed the depar
ture of a doltish individual whom he had sent
on a fruitless expedition, l'lutarch speaks of
a "fools' day" in the early spring, when the
people abstained from labor of every kind, and
engaged in merry sports, using ludicrous lan
guage, and dressed in grotesque garbs.
Another reason oii'ered for the origin of this
day is, that the people, having just completed
the Lenten season, and having restrained their
appetites, denying themselves amusemouts,
etc., during penitential service, would natu
rally, on the day when their lull liberty was
TestoreA, throw oil' all restraint solemnity
lieing followed by rejoicing, penetential ser
vices giving way to merry-making, and prayers
and vespers be succeeded by laughter and di
version. It is not improbable that on some
such day a ridiculous error might have called
forth the phrase "April fool," to be ever used
therealter as a jocular expression. Let that
le as it may, all nations, in a greater or less
degree, celebrate the day in peculiar style.
The dull and blundering, the sage and dis
creet, both young and old, will U caught in
some snare set for them by the cunning.
The people of Scotland celebrate the day by
sending the uninitiated off on fruitless and
never-ending journeys, telling them that at
certain stopping-places information will lie
civen them as to the object of thier search.
OIF would start some unknowing Bojotian, and
after toiling from dawn till dusk afoot, through
triers and over stubble, he eventually arrived
at a little out-oi-tue-way place, and was theri
informed:
"To-day the first of April Is,
Go bunt tlie gowk auotuer mile."
If . the meaning of this singular message
dawned upon the muddled brain of the
April-fooled, back he went to his startin:
post, to be received by hi companions with
fcanters ana 'leers lor ins own short-sighted
ness. Should he deem tho subject worthy of
Ins eerious attention and earnest search, he
will plod on from place to place, until the fn
quency of the message, "(Jo hunt the gowk,"
can be no longer misinterpreted.
They have a way of doing in some parts of
Oerniany which tends to raise the ire of a,u;ed
and corpulent Teutons, and excite their vehe
ment indignation, in this wise: Karly on
April-Fools' day morning, a number of young
persons, in for a "time ot it," proceed at once
to unhinge tho gates from tho fences, and, by
changing, cause a very inconsistent appear
ance to the street; ornamenting some rickety
old fence with a gate of aristocratical preten
sions, and putting in inglorious contrast lordly
walls witli uncouth barricades.
Years ago, the Duke of Lorraine and his
wife were imprisoned in the goal ot Mantes.
The First of April drawing nigh, a happy
thought struck the Duke. 1'rotiting by it,
lie and his wife, the one dressed as a ragman
and the other as a hucksterwoman, passed
through the prison gate. The keeper's wife,
detecting the disguise, called out to the
guard to prevent their escape; hut he cried
"April fool," and all the guards cried "April
fool," with great zest. The incident being
told the Governor, he mistrusted the real fact,
and Bent the police in search of the pseudo
ragman and his companion; but he and his
wife had disappeared, occasioning great wrath
to the civic authorities and chagrin to the
r guards.
But the First of April is especially a "chil
dren's" day in fact, a grand holiday for them,
on which they delight to create amusement
in their own childish ways. They ply their
faculties most earnestly to entangle ma, pa,
or somebody else in some little snare, which
will cause great laughter, and reap them
abundant pleasure. And it is surprising to
eee how soon the little chicks, just able to
toddle about and lisp a few words, will be-
omo initiated in the art of April-fooling.
Here comes one: "I thay, thir, you've dot
thomthin on your tote;" and it will be con
vulsed to see you look around, and . under
your ffleeve, and at your attempts to inspect
your own back. Half century ago, when
the essentials to fashion were knee-breeches
and pumps, the cry was: "Sir, your shoe's
unbuckled ;" but when buckles were suc
ceeded by strings, it was: "Your lioot'a un
laced." And now, since the advent of the
"ihignon Uorror," jnar-7 a lass, we doubt not,
will be subject to puns and jests Innumerable.
On April-Fools' day Jehus will be hurriedly
informed that their wheels are going, and, in
their excitement, will lean from their exalted
perches to witness but a confirmation of the
fact, and I startled by the shouts of boys,
and the echoings of "April fool" "fooled,"
as they move out into the distance.
Pennies plentifully displayed on tbepublio
walks will disappear with amazing rapidity
from the hand that attempts to grasp them,
and be accompanied with chucklings of sup
pressed laughter coming from behind fences
and tree-boxes. Stray packages, of number
unprecedented mementoeB, apparently, of
their owners' great carelessness w ill be found
to contain certain mixtures of sand, stones,
etc. Doctors will be roused from pleasant
slumbers or profound meditations by the
furious ringing of the bell, and will rush in
great haste to the door to receive the highly
gratifying intelligence that at a distance not
less than live miles, an unhappy feline is
shuffling on" this mortal coil. Or some
testy individual will be screamingly informed
"Sir! you have lost something." "Where V
"There." "What?" "Why your wits,
sir !" and the boy dodges the stroke of a cane.
Hut the home circle will probably witness a
greater portion of childish pranks. Every
person, great and small, will be subject for
youthful caprices; there will be a jest for every,
one; ridicule and boisterous mirth will com
mingle; every one will receive his or her share,
from the old grandfather to the little prattler
at his side. Kor will the servants be exempt,
but the full stock of waggery, jocularity, ami
wit of the youngsters will be brought out.
"Then In-door young ones club from wicked wlU,
And almost frighten servants into fits.
'Oh! John ! James! Joe! oil! quirk ! oh ! Molly ! oh!
Oh! the trnn dnur! oh, Molly! Jjown below!'
'W'Jjutf What's the matter?' scream out, with wild
surprise,
John. James, and Molly; while the young one's cries
Redouble till they come: then all the boys shout, with
clamorous noise!
And little girls, enticed down stairs to see,
Sland peeping, clap their hands, and cry 'te-hee!'
Kach gibing boy escapes in whatever way,
And meet again. Home trick 'as good as that' to play."
Let the children have their day ! He not
testy or snappish, not crusty or sharp, should
you happen to commit yourself by falling into
some childish snare and be "April-fooled."
But remember that you yourself, when young,
have been engaged in the same manner, deem
ing it untold pleasure could you entrap the
aged, and often fool tho teacher, and catch the
people napping.
