A GERMAN SroRy.--The son of an old far.
mer, by some chance or other, had travelled
through several remote countries, and az 10 not
uncommon in such cases, returned home much
richer in lies than in knowledge. A few days
sfter his arrival, he accompanied bis tather--a
pretty shrewd old fellow--to market at some
distance from the village. 1t happened that a
mastiff dog passed that way, which, as soon as
the young maa beheld. he cried out
BLESS me. father this dog puts me in mind Of
one saw in my travels, At least as large as the
largest Of our cart horses
What you tell me- replied the father grave.
ly. 'sstonishes me I; but don't imagine that in
this country we are wholly without prodigies; !;
BY and by we shall come to bridge. which We
shall be obliged to pass, and which is much more
extraordinary than the dog Of which you have
been talking. They soy it is the work of some
witch. All know OF ii is this-that there is
stone in the middle ST it. against which one 10
sure to stumble as he passes on. and break .
leg at least, if it 80 happens ihut he has told a
lie in the course Of the day "a Ia
The youth wss little startled q, this strange
account.
Al what . rate yoa are walking, h,her!--
but 10 return to the dog-how large did ! say !!
A. your lsrges. horse; Nay. for that matter.
believe I might bs saying little 10 much. Tor
] recollec. il was but six months old bot
would be on my oath that il was as big a. hei'
ier'
Here the story rested ill they were . mile
or two advanced on their way. The Young
man wss very far from being comfortable. The
fatal bridge appears At distance.
Hear me. father; indeed the dog We have
been speaking OF; was very large, bu, no, quite
as large as heifer; | am sure. however, il wss
larger than calf
Al length they arrived a! the foo, of the
bridge. The son stopped short 80
'Ah! father said he, you cannot be such ,
smpleion as to believe have seen dog Of such
a size; for once ! must speak the frxih, th,
dog met in my travels wac no, larger than tn
dog we saw an hour or two ago"
