Mineral Point tribune. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1854-1858, 1857-07-21
Philopena


We find the following excellent explain
alton of this playful amusement in the n
\ Tribune. 1t will interest the Young
folks:
We believe this pleasant amusemen
tor boys and girls, and some times thos,
! OF more mature age, originated i'm Ger
many, where II is called syiel liebehan,
which as 1t Is spoken has the sound OF
phIlIpken-which may have been the orr
gin of our word, TO which we have giver
latin neutrality-suspicious. it in.
terS penalty or forfeiture exacted or won
by the tact or management of the winning
party. With us the thing is managed,
however, excessively clumsy, and quite
without skill. \ person in company
chances TO find Il double .meated almond
and hands half the meat to another. and
says, or rather should say Will you eat
phllopena with me 2 The other ac.
cepts one of the nuts, and eats it at the
same time the challenged party eats the
other. Thus they separate but when
they meet again, the one that can think
to say phllopena' first to the other wins
the forfeit, aud has right t9 name what
it shall be-
Generally in our hot haste to win a
phllopena, we forget propriety and be-
come rude, IN this land of thrift and hur
ry. The thing is far better and more
pleasantly managed in Germany and ex-
erclseS some OF the most useful faCulies
OF the ;nInd. When a couple meet the
next time after eating philopena together,
no advantage Is taken of the other until
one OF them pronaunces the word philo-
pena. This Is the warning that now the
sport is to begin. Let us suppose that 4
gentleman calls upon lady; she invites
hun TO walk III, but the same time speaks
the tallsmanIC word. If he accepts the
offer to walk IN, he IS lost. unless She re-
moves the ban by telling him to 90 away.
II she asks him to lay Oft his hat, he must
resoulely keep /; on; if to be seated. he
must stand, or If at the table She should
hand him any article which he accepts.
she wins the fortune. At the same time
he IS watching TO catch ner off her guard
tor the acceptance Of any offer from the
other ends the game. Both are constant
~ exercising their wits 10 prevent being
caught, and the sport often goes on all
the evening. Perhaps the gentleman
brings a little present, and says: Know
ing that should loose my philophena, |
have brought 1t along-here it is If she
Is caught off her guard by this soomth
speech, she loses for he Immediately
claims forfeit. If neither WINS at the
first meeting, the sport Is continued at a
second, and 1t may happen that half a
dozen parties meet at the same time, all
anxious to win of their phiopena partners,
so that the scene often becomes ludicrious-
ly amusing.
How preferable Is this play to our own
And as the sport derived from phiIopena
is very innocent and pretty, we commend
1t TO the young folks of America.

The Life Time OF Man.

When the world was created. and all
creatures assembled to have their life
time appointed, the ass first advanced and
asked now long he would have TO live.
Thirty years, replied nature will
that be agreeable to thee 9
Alas : answered the ass, it is a long
while. Remember what a wearisome
existance will be mine; from morning
until night | shall haze TO bear heavy
burdens, dragging corn sacks to the mill
that others may eat bread, while | shall
have no encouragement, nor be refreshed
by anything but blows and kicks. Give
but a portion Of that, pray
Nature was moved with compassion,
and presented bat eighteen years The
ass went away comfcrted, and the dog
came forward
How long dost thou require to live 2
asked Nature. Thirty years were too
many for the ass; wilt thou be contented
with them!'
is il thy will that l should? replied
the dog. Think how much shall have
to run about; my feet Will not last for so
long a time; and when | shalt have lost
my voice for barking aud my teeth for
biting, what else shall be fit for, but to
lie IN the corner and growi "
Nature thought 1t was right, and gave
twelve wears.
The ape then appeared.
Thou wilt, doubtless. willingly live the
thirty years said Nature thou will not
have TO labor as the ass ana the dog
Life will be pleasant to thee?'
All, no, cried he !; it may seem so

dings ever rain down, shalt excite a
laughter by my grimances, and then be
rewarded with a sour apple. How often
sorrow lies concealed behind a Jest! /

Nature was gracious, and the ape re
ceived but ten.
AT last came man, healthy and strong,
and asked the measure of his life.
Will thirty years content thee ?
How short a time : exclaimed the man;
when | shall have built my house, and
kindcd a fire on my own hearth-when
the trees | shall have plated are about

Nature, grant me longer Perlol :

Thus man lives seventy years. The
first thirty are his human years, and pass
swiftly by. He is then healthy and hap

come next: burden upon burden IS heap

rewards of his faithful services.
The twelve Of the bog follow, and he

Royal Anecdote.

As Joseph II, Emperor of Austria, was
driving his one horse cabriolet, dressed in
the garb of a private citizen. he was ac-
costed by soldier, who. mistaking him
for a man of the middle class, requested
a seat in the vehicle.
Willingly, replied the Emperor
/ Jump IN, colrade, for I'm In a hurry
The soldier was soon seated alongside
OF the Emperor and became very loqua-
ciouS.

Emperor familiarl Y on the back, are you
