MEMPHIS, TENN: FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 81, 1874.

two, while the mother takes her place in
the queve and looks out for herself, and
the rule is scarcely ever broken. II it
be said on the one hand that the mother,
having shuffled off the responsibility of
be satisfied with that, it may be urged
on the other hand that, in view of the
fidelity and regularity expected of a
German lover, the support OF the young
lady is in itself enough, and he ought
not to be asked to have the mother
superadded, at least until after the mar.
riage.
Young people engaged are expected to
pass three hundred and sixty'fve even
ing year in each others society. If
they belong to the middle or poorer
classes, this phenomenon is generally
witnessed at cheap beer houses and gar
dens, varied in summer by an occasional
rural excursion. If they have a more
exalted position in the social scale, there
will generally be facilities for entertain
ing the victim at the home of the inten-
ded; and for beer gardens they will now
and then substitute a concert or play.
But the full quota of evenings is always
vigorously exacted. Perhaps the most
delicate situation for an anxious suitor
is when the mother is Indifferent, or with
a little judicious matronly coquetry,
knowing that he is anxious, pretends to
be indifferent. This situation exscts
from the candidate the most careful
behavior, especially late in the evening
after beer, when the mother is likely to
be sleepy and tired, and irritable. One
false step then may ruin all.
1.-THE other evening a friend and / sat
under lime tree at fashionable resort,
amused at and in spite OF ourselves, in
terested in, the proceedings at an ada
cent table, where there was a family
party, consisting of father, three daugh-
ters, as many young men, and mother
calmly but unobtrusively directing the
course of affairs. One of the young
ladies, feeling cold, rose to throw shawl
over her shoulders, and, of course, all
the young men by a common impulse
plunged madly forward to assist her.
One of those young men will never be
seen again with that party. For he
carried in his hand as he went to aid the
young lady heavy cane, and, with
Characteristic awkwardness, he managed,
while drawing up the shawl, to thrust the
end of the cane into the eye of the
mother, and the shawl seeming to re-
quire a good deal of adjustment, as
have observed it often does when a young
man is drawing it on, and the shoulders
are those of young lady, the unlucky
wretch nearly ruined the maternal eye.
At any rate he seems to have become
convinced that it would never again look
favorably on him, for he comes no more
to the trysting place. My friend is a
philosopher, and he has his moral ready
After all, observed he, lighting a fresh
cigarette, yonder swain is no worse than
the rest of us; it happens to many of US
at critical moments to thrust a cane into
the eye of the desired mother-in-law, and
thus at one unlucky stroke to forfeit all
our chances.

The Dog that Carried Food to a Be-
sfeged CITY.


The following story of ssgacity Of a
dog is to be found in an old volume in
the British Museum
When Duke Robert and Richard, Duke
of Capua, besieged Palermo, which the
furious Prince Gisolfe defended, the
sufferiugs of the inhabitants through
hunger and misery are described by
Monte Casino as resembling those ex-
perienced by the Jews during the siege
of Jerusalem by the Romans. The in.
terests of humanity required that an end
should be put to the horrible rule of Gil
solfe, by winning the town, so that great
suffering seemed unavoidable. Two
young men.on this occasion, followed by
dog, contrived to escape from the be-
sieged city, and came to where the duke
was and begged bread, which was given
to them. The youths gave third part
to their dog, and the dog that evening
ran back to the city, carried the bread
to their fathers house, placed it at his
feet, and then returned to the lads.
The next day they had bread enough,
and gave more to the dog, though they
knew not what he had done with it be-
fore; and the next evening the dog car
ried it to their father, and the third even
ing likewise, and the father, believing
that Christian had sent him bread for
the love of God, tied label around the
dogs neck, on which he wrote: thank
God for these aims. and | cease not to
pray to God for him" With this the dog
returned, and when they had read the
card they carried the dog, leaving it still
hanging around his neck, to the Duchess,
but she would not believe their report.
However, she caused a little sack OF
bread to be fastened to the dogs neck.
He loitered about the place as if afraid
of the people until the setting of the
sun, when he passed out of camp and
made his way safely into the city to the
fathers house, who, on receiving the
bag, attached card to the dogs neck,
on which was written: Greater thanks
| render thee for these greater aims.
Bearing this he returned and was again
presented to the Duchess, who loudly
expressed her astonishment at the won
derful cleverness of the dog. Its fame,
however, led to its destruction. The
story of its marvellous feats reached the
ears of Prince Gisolfe, who caused a
watch to be set for it at the city gates;
it was captured by tie sentinels and
cruelty put to death.
The book from which the above is
translated was printed in Florence up
wards of two hundred years ago.
