    APRIL FOOL'S DAY.
BY 8. ANNIE FORT.
' Well I don't think anybody can cv.
cr deceive me again on that day. Onco
in a lifetime is enough for nny sensible
person to be tricked on tlic first of April.'
And pretty Mabel Hughes looked defi
ant of all jokes, tossing back bcr sunny
!uils with a little whito baud, aud Dash
ing a merry, saucy look at tho company
around ber.
There was quite a group of young
folks, assembled to dance the old year
out and the new year in. Mabel
Hughes took p:o .cJcnce at most of the
illagc gatherings, by right of acknowl.
edged bcllcship, and ber lather's largo
hospitablo houio was the rendezvous on
the present occasion. Tho young lolks
had been discussing anniversaries, and
while on that theme, April Fool's Day
had a placa in the list of memorable
days of the year. Mabel had been fool
ed the year before by tho gift of a mag
nificent basket containing apparently
clusters of rich, red strawberries, far in
advance of tho New England season.
With a little ery of pleasure sho bad
put ono of the luscious looking berries
into her mouth, to find it was a painted
deception. Laughing, yet thoroughly
in earnest, she had vowed never again
to believe in a gift or a speech of the
date again.
As she now made bcr speech she
looked full in the face of the supposed
perpetrator of the last year's joke, and
was answered by a pair of Banny
i'rank eyes, that looked fully equal to
fun of nny sort.
' I cau deceive you again,' ho deelar.
cd in answer to her implied challenge.
' You have no idea how pretty you looked
when you curled up your uosc and
puckered your lips over that berry.'
' Why, where were you ? '
' In the ball enjoying the joke.'
' Well make the most of the rocollec
tion, for you will never see me in a like
scrape again.'
Until nest April.'
Never ! '
We'll sse ! I'll take tho next three
months to invent something absolutely
impenetrable.'
I defy you.'
Hark !'
Slowly the peal of bolls from tho
neighboring church sounded the mid
night hour. As the Cr.-' stroke full up
on the air, the group rose to their feet,
joined hands, in a ring, and stood mo
tionless till the last echo died away.
Then Happy New Year,' burst simul.
taneously from their lips, aud after joy
ous greetiug all arouud, tb& party sepa
rated, aud tho bouse was soon wrapped
in darkucss and reposo.
' So John Martyn will play mo ano
ther trick this year,' thought Mabel,
the next morning, as sho stood before
the glass twisting the bright carls round
her fingers. ' lie may try his Wst, but
be will not catch mo again, llcigh-ho!
he will have other things to think of by
that time, and perhaps will forget me
altogether.
For lohu Martyn was going into tho
world to seek his fortune. One year
ago he had giveD to home, though alone
in his cottage a brothcrlcis orphan. He
had not intended to stay to long, but
there was a magnetism iu Mabel Hughes
dark eyes that bound biui to the village,
until the admiration deepened into sin
cere, earnest love, and then tho convic.
tion grew that be must wiu wealth be
fore be dared to tell bis passion.
Mr. Hughes was wealthy, a lawyer in
good practice, but there were nine chil.
dren in the luxurious home, aud the cs.
tate would give but a moderate compe
tency to each one.
John Martyn was not the man to woo
Mabel from ber home, uulcss be could
offer at least comlott iu bis own, aud he
had draiued bin purse the year following
his return from college. Somewhere iu
Texas he had au uncle who had writtou
to him that bo had au opening for an
enterprising young man, us a stock
I am very old,' so the letter ran,
aud very poor, so you must not come
out here with any idea of finding wealth
made to your hand. You will have to
work bard very hard, but if you are
not afraid of that, I will give you a start
drawn from experience, and a shake
down in my rancho.'
So he bad written, and his nephew
gladly accepted the invitation. He had
remained to see tho New Year in, but
Mabel knew on that day his call ou that
day would be to say farewell for months,
years, perhaps ' peihaps,' sho thought
oadly, ' never to meet again.' She bad
never questioned her heart about John
Martyn, coutuut to take bis gallant
speeches, his deferential words, or, in
other words bis half saucy jokes, tiis
laughing badiuage for tho amusement of
the hour. Hut on tbut New Year's
dav she was restless, nervous, and excit
ed, finding herself talking at random to
her callers, saying,yes where she should
have said no, and listening intently lor
a footfall and voice that lingered away
frnm hnr. At last he came, timing bis
all to miss the morning visitors, and
vhin tho luncheon bell cleared tho
room of the family. Heoliniug Mrs
Hughes' iuvitatiou to join tlmw at the
table, he kept Mabel for a few parting
words. Ho did not bind her ; Ue did
not ask a return ct hi love ; he only
told her his prospects and hopes, aud
then said if he ever had a homo to offer
his bride, he should rowe to his native
village to seek one. Very vague this,
but Mabel looking into bis dark earnest
eyes, silently resolved that bis bride
should be waiting for him when be re
turned. Night found bim speeding

over the iron road to New York, on tho
long journey to Texas.
My littlo heroine spoke no word to
any one of the hope in her heart. Some
day, she thought, her secret fount of
hope and happiness might bo open to
ber friends but not now not until
words wero given that made her blissful
dream a certainty of joy. Three
months four sped away, and one
April morning, when the feet of May
wore pressing closely on tho confines of
tho passing month, Mabel had a tatter
all alone iu her pretty room ; she read
tho woids, her heart full of joyful sur
prise over the contents.
John Martyn wrote a strango story.
Upon his arrival in Texas be had found
his undo fast sinking under a fatal dis
ease, partly the offcot of starvation and
exposure. In a miscrablo hut, with no
bod but a blanket spread upon the mud
floor, half clothed aud half famished, the
prematurely old man lay dying. Shock
ed at such a sight, John had nt onco
sent for a physician to tho nearest sta
tion; but the old man was bo distressed
at tbo expense, that it wis r.ot until his
nephew assured bim his own purse still
hold the needful funds, that he consent
ed to bi.ve a bed, a chair, a stove, and
some medicines, For weeks he linger
ed, the young mau faithlully minister
ing to his wants, then died, leaving all
he possessed, by will, to bis beloved
nephew, John Marfyn. The miserable
hut seemed a poor legacy, but the young
man's amazemcut may bo imagined
when he fouud his undo bad left an
enormous fortune scraped together in a
lifetime of miserly accumulation and av.
aricious hoarding. After this tale, he
poured out his whole heart to Mabel,
tolling of his love, h'lB hopes and plans.
One word from her would bring- him at
once to her side. His uncle's affairs
would keep bim a few weeks in Texas,
but beforo letters could be exchanged
he would bo free to htsten to her.
Might he hope ? If she did not love
hi in silenoo would deal that blow to his
heart.
I cannot tell the rush of happiness
that flooded Mabel's heart as sho read
the letter. She had pictured years of
anxious waiting, had let her fancy even
run upon death during separation, sho
thought at best they would be middle
aged folks betore John made his for
tune, and had tried to to think how emi
gration to Texas would suit her little
self; and now be could come home,
rich, free, loving, to make her his
bride. Out of her full, loving heart
she wrote him a frank letter, then, be
fore taking both to gain her parents
consent to her answer, turned to the
date, to bo certain of her address.
With a quick, passiouate cry, she threw
the letter far from her, and sprang
from her seat. All the joy was gone
from her smiling lips, tho flush from
ber cheek. I'alc, with a concentrated
..... i
anger blazing in tier eyes, sne pacea
the floor, clenching her little hands,
d muttering, in ha.y. choking ac
cents :
Unmanly ! Uogcnt'euianiy ! April
Fool's Day ! This is the result of his
three months' meditation. Idiot I was
to bo so tricked by that romantic story.
I miiht have seen it was copied from
some old novel. Uucle dying iu a but
and leaving him a millionaire 1 And
to try to wiu from me this,' and sho
tore her letter into Mired as sho spoke.
If I had sent it, before looking at
that date but ho shall eco that his
base, ungenerous trick failed to deccivo
me.' . .
Then hot tears poured down her
cheeks, for remember she loved bim.
Keener than a knife-thrust was the
pain of thinking he lad trifled with
the love she had made the hope of her
life. No true knight this, to make a
jest of the holiest, impulses of her
heart, bhe began to think she had
been unraaidenly, and let bim' see too
plainly the affection she bore bim ; and
the weary day wore away, leaving her
palo and sick with conflicting emotions
and pain. A headache will answer for
pale cheeks and red eyes for ono day ;
but as weeks wore on and Mabel be.
came more languid and wretched each
day, her mother's feari were aroused,
and sho anxiously Bought foi some
help for her bright, winsomo child
now bo dull and pallid. A spring and
summer of intense heat had added to
the di-pressiou of Mabel's nature, and,
after much consultation, it was decid.
ed to Bcrnd her to New York for the
winter, to visit her fa'.her's sister, and
seo if city gaycties would not rcstoro
her roses.
In i the meantime Jobu Mat tyu wait
ed in Texas, watehiug every mail
frcm the earliest that could have
brought a reply to his letter, not dar
ing to leave lest the detained epistle
might bo lost, if sent after him. In

rush of hope that camo with Mabel's

at once, to communicate his news, and
try big fate ; he had never noticed the

ter. The foolish challauge of New
Year's Eve had been cowded from his
memory by tho hurryiug chango of
events, and, therefore the explanation
of her silenco did not occur to bim.
No, she did not love him j ho had been
foolish, blind, vain, to believe that all
her gentle winning ways meant more
than friendship.. Summer heat was
warning hiufTrom. Texas, and, arrang
ing his affairs, he left his uncle's grave,
and the miserable hut, and started for
a tour of the States, previous to an in.
tended trip to Europe IIo would
travel and forget this boyish love and
folly.
It was Christmas Eve, and Mrs.
Greenway was to give a large party,
to which all the upper crust of Now
York society were invited. Mrs.
Greenway was to introduce her nieco,
and when an old friend requested per
mission to bring his son's college chum
a young millionaire, on a flying visit
toNew York, and. about to start for
Europe, Mrs. Greenway gracious'j
gave the requested permission.
So they met, Mabel" was listlessly
looking over the room full of strange
faces, trying to feel the interest her
aunt expected in her guests, when
John Martyn entered the room.
' Who is that, Aunt Helen 1 IIcw
came he here 7 ' she asked in an eager
whisper.
' Where, my dear ? Oh, tbut must
bo the gentleman Mr. Lee was telling
mo about. Quito a romantic story,'
and then she told Mabel what she had
believed to be a cruel jest.
Ono part of the letter true. Was
the rest so ? The quick blood flashed
through her veins with suffocating
speed ; her breath came in Bhort gi'fips,
but with nervous self-control she stood
quiet. They came forward to greet
tho hostess, and as John turned from
Mrs. Greenway to acknowledge tho
introduction to her niece, bis eyes fell
upon Mabel.
She did not pause to think whether
it was forward or not. With both
hands extended, her eyes lifted im
ploringly, her whole framo quivering
with emotion, she said :
' Oh, John, was it an April Joke ? '
And then the dato of his letter flash
ed upon his memory. With quick
tact he drew her hand through his arm
and led her to the door.
Where can we bo alone ? ' he whis.
percd, for she trembled violeutly, whilo
the color was fading from her face
with alarming rapidity.
' In tho library. Como.'
Well, reader, you and I need not go
too. When, in the early spring, John
Martyn sailed for Europe, Mabel wad
by his side, a fair, sunny bride, and
the April day that threatentd to crush
the happiness of two lives, will do to
recall for an old woman's warning when
silver threads creep in among her clus
tering curls.
Ridicule the foolish changes in

The present pattern of pantaloons is a

JULY 25, 1807.
A FATISAH JUDICABY.
The Radical party of this State are
fully committed in favor of a partisan
judicary. The seventh resolution adopt
ed by their State Convention, which
nominated Mr. Williams for a Jrdgo of
the Supremo Court, declares " that,
warned by past misfortuues, wo ask
that the Supremo Court of the State
be placed in harmony with tho politi
cal opiniens of the majority of .the
people," so that " it may become and
remain a fit and faithful interpreter of
the liberal spirit of tho age, a bulwark
of public faith, and an impartial and
fearless exponent of the equal rights of
man." This resolution has been en
dorsed and applauded by all the Radical
papers of tho State, and the Press of the
13th instant announced that " a Union
State should have a Union Judicary,
and every Republican is called upon
to contribute to this desirable end by
voting in October next for Henry W.
Williams, as Judge of the Supreme
Court."
.now, what do the Radicals mean UJ
this seventh resolution, and what is the
import of this declaration that " a
Union State should have a Union Judi.
ciary ? " The business of judges is to
interpret tho laws according to those
well-known principles which underly
and give security and stability to the
whole structure of society. They are
to be pure men, free from personal bias
or political prejudices. They may and
will hare political opinions, but these
opinions are never to influence their
judgments oi govern their actions in a
party or personal direction. I ho Con
stitution of the State and nation, and
the laws enacted by competent lcgisla.
tivo bodies, are to betheir rule of ac
tion. No man's causo is to bo prejudic
ed because he may differ from thn
judge upon the bench, nor are laws to
be looked at through misty atmosphere
of party clamor and excitement. Re
fore and in the eyes of the law all men
of all political faiths, all religious beliefs,
are equal, and in that attitude they
must be viewed by a judge if justice is
to hold a place upon tho bench.
To this exposition of tbo character
and duties of a judge the Radicals will
not agree, and that disagreement fur.
nishes an answer to tho question pro
pounded above. They are not only in
favor ot putting politicians upon the
binch, but for pledging those politicians
in advance to fashion all their legal
opinions and decisions " in harmony
with the political opinions " of tho party
by which they were elected. This is
the position occupied by the Radical
party in this State with reference to tho
Supreme Court and its Judges. Such a
principle, if carried into effect, would
turn the superior judical tribunal of
this, or any other Stato, into a star
chamber, where political vengeance
would bo executed, and neither law, jus
tice, nor equity be administered. AH
the judges would be heated and bigoted
partisans, iustead of calm-minded, in
dependent citizens, guided by facts and
the law ; aud life, property, and charac
ter would bo held by the gossamer
thread of popular opinion. Each shift
ing phase of political action would find
its reflection in the judgments of the
court. To.day the needs of politicians
would drive them in one direction, and
tho court must follow. Ou tho morrow
a returning wavo would obliterate tho
record, and out a fresh channel aoross
tho liborties or the peoplo, the security
of property, and the sanctity of thoso
ties which bind together civilized so
oioty. Life, liberty, and all other rights
now surrounded by the safeguards ot
constitutions! h, find protected by im.
partial judges, will, if the Radical idu
is accepted, soon fall boforo the spirit of
agrarianism which is beginning to in.
vest with fresh danger the movements
of the ruling party of tho country.
The phrase, " a Union State should
have a Union Judicary," used by the
Press, is but another way of enforcing
the idea that in the future, if citizens
desire their rights to be respected in the
Supreme Court of this Stato, they must
placo thcmselvos in harmony with the
political opinions of the majority of
tho people." The Stato Conventiou
of the Radical party has declared that
doctriuo ; it has been endorsed by the
Radical press, and Mr. Williams, by al
lowing his name to be used as a candi
date, gives his public assent to the prio.
ciple. With colleagues upou tho bench
of the same political faith, Mr. Williams
can turn all the decisions of the Su
preme Court into the path marked out
by the Radical State Convention. In
stead, then, of merchants, manufacture
ers, bankers and others trusting to the
snpremo jndical tribunal of tho land as
an impartial body, which will adminis
ter law without " fear, favor or affec
tion," they will know that political con.
siderations are thrown into the scales of
justice, and the judge are influenced by
partisan considerations in making up
their opioiong tnd judgements. This
will be the effect of placing Mr. Wil
hams upon tho bench of the Supreme
Court. He was nominated as a Radical

Somebody has written Ihe following
about the girls :
God bless tho girls,
Whose golden curls
Blend with our evening dreams j
They haunt our lives,
Like spirit wives,
' Or, Naiuds haunt the streams
They soothe our pains,
They fill our brains
With dreams ot summer hours
God bless the curls, '
God bless tbo girls,
God bless our human flowers.
The wives are quite as descrvin"
of blessing as the girls, and we submit
the following :
God bless our wives,
They fill our hives,
With littlo bees and honey
They cease lifo's shocks, '
They mend or socks,
But don't they spend the money.
When we are sick,
They heal us quick,
That is it they do lovo us;
If not, wo die,
And yet they cry.
And placo tombstones above us.
Of roguish girls,
With sunny curls,
We nioy in faucy dream ;
But wives true wives
Throughout our lives,
Aro everything they seem.
Wo think the lords of creation
come in for a share of these God-bless.-ings,
too. So here goes :
God bless tho men,
We say amen,
Who buy us shawls and dresses,
Or cmdied drops,
Or lemon drops,
Stand treat when heat oppesses,
The ducks and dears,
We'll sootho their fears,
And show a heap of sorrow,
Just as it suits,
For gloves or boots,
That's wanted for the morrow.
Oh, can't wo wile,
And coax and smile,
When they of cash seem weary,
To get the " job "
And ease their fob,
Leaving them ne'er a " nary."
God bless tho boys,
Who thrill our joys,
WTith loving, tender kisses !
Who squeeze our hands
Or loose our bands
Of flowing, silken tresses !
Then romp and swing
Us, o'er the spring,
Adown tho shady hollow ;
'Tis all the same,
They're not to blame,
Love leads, and they but follow.
THE PRINTER.
The following beautiful tribute to the
followers of the " stick and rulo"ii
from the pen. of B. F. Taylor, of the
Chicago Evening Joarnal :
The printer is the adjutant of thought,
and this explains tho mystery of the
wonderful word that can kiudlo a Lope
as no song can ; that can warm a heart
as no hope cau ; that word " we " with
hand. in hand warmth iu it for the au
thor and printer are engineers together.
Engineers indeed ! When the littlo
Corsican bombarded Cadiz, at the dis4
tauce of five miles, it was deemed tho
very niumph of engineering. But
what is that raugo to this, whereby they
bombard the ages yet to bo ?
There at tho " case " ho stands and
marshals into line the forces armed for
truth, clothed iu immortality and Eng.
lish. And what can bo nobler than
that equipment of a thought it sterling
Saxon Saxon with a spear or shield
therein and that commissioning it when
wc aro dead, to move grandly on to tho
latest syllable ot recorded time. This
is to win a victory from death, for this
has no dying in it.
The printer is called a laborer and tho
office ho performs is toil. Oh, it is not
work but a sublime life he is performing,
when he thus sights the engine that 7s
to fling a worded truth in grander
curve than misslo e'er beforo described j
fling it into the bosom of an age yet un
born. Ho throws off his coat indeed ;
we but wonder the rather, that ho docs
not put his shoes from off his feet, for
the place where he stands is holy
ground.
A lktle song was uttered somewhere
long ago ; it wandered through the
twilight feebler than a star ; it died
upon the ear. But the printer takes it
up where it was lying there iu the si
lence like a wounded bird, and it flics
on into tho future with the olive. branch
of peace, and around the world with
nielody, like the dawning of a spring
morning.
