A GRAPHIC SKETCH.
6ERXAHT, ITALf, AMERICA.
The
memories of our Hammer sojourn iD
Swi.zf rland comprise a varied succession of
c 1 ardcteiistics aud personalities. Representa
tives ot n any nations were there, offering ns in
their diBtinctior.8 of manners and traits not a
little matter for reflection. There was a family
of Germans, father and mother, with a tribe oi
of young folk about them ranging from a baby
yet in arms, to a handsome youth whose own
wedding day is not far off. These are eminent
ly an open air, muscular, bretzy, healthy set ot
people; people who do not mind a shower ot
rain or a fall of snow, and do not disdain stout
boots that make slender feet look larger than
they are, and shapeless water-proofs that con
ceal all the graceful lines of the figure as effect
ually as they shield the wearers from the rain.
The boys and girls are a merry set of creatures,
and the presence of the father and mother does
not take from their enjoyment. They sing and
play, and row on the lake, and take long moun
tain walks and are always bright and beaming
and laughing and good-humored. Education
goes on hand in hand with this healthy open-air
life; and the little ones have their lessons, the
elder their studies, just the same as if they were
in the oity which is their natural habitat. Bui
it makes all the difle ence whether these lessons
are given, and those studies are carried on, in
rooms where the windows are shut close because
of the noise of the streets, or in rooms where
they are all wide open, with no more rural dis
traction than that wbioh comes from the song of
birds, the hum of the insects, the tinkling of
the mountain rills, and the plash of the wave
lets running from shore to snore of the clear
blue lake. We claim them as of ‘our table,’
though they live out of the house, away there
over at the other side of the lake in one of those
rough Tyrolese chalets where you get walls and
floors and ceilings, beds and chairs and tables,
and nothing else. They have no means of cook
ing in their place; no servants to cook if they
had; and no power of getting food if they had
both the means and the hands. Hence they
come over to us to dine and sup; and part of the
day’s occupation, for all of us in the house prop
er is to watch their boat now sailing with afar
wind and under a clear sky, its human freight
clearly vibible aud pleasantly audible—now
heavily plowing its way over the tossed and
roughened water, when, instead of the bright
faces and pretty costumes which make part of
the pageant on the fair days, we see only a col-
lec ii n of mushroom-like umbrellas, beneath
which, still laughing and ever merry, the fam
ily sits huddled like so many penned-up sheep.
There is an Ita'ian family of the same kind in
point ot numbers and pleasantness, and yet how
dftVrent! Soft and graceful, taking all that
comes, if not with the robust and vigorous
counter-energy of our Teutonic friends, yet in
their own smiling easy way they are just as prac
tically philosophical and just as personally
pleasant. They slide under their difficulties,
they do not oppose them; and they make their
ideal of life p.ace rather than work. The moth
er and her dangbteis are by no means remark
able for the depth or extent of their education,
but they are all passionate for music, and a few
are as devoted to painting. They take no long
mountain excursions, but content themselves
with lazily fl aling about the lake when the
weather is secure and the water like glass; or
they sit in the garden, where the little children
play about their feet, and where the father
sketches, the mother embroiders, and daughters,
perhaps, embroider, too, perhaps read, perhaps
paint, and whe<e the-boys suddenly break into
si a’.ches of song that wake the echoes of the old
pine woods and float dreamily down the lake.
They are all beamiful as so many young gods
and goddesses, tall, well formed, well developed
—but not energttic; nor are the women free.
Unlike the German frauletn, our sweet Italian
ii corinas m ver leave their mother’s side, and
never stretch out into independent action.
They do not handle the oars, nor start off into
rough mountain walks ‘up to the snow,‘like the
baroness and her sister. Those dark, close-shut
mountain valleys would terrify them were they
to find themselvi s there alone; and if they heard
the shrill cries which Sunnd from peak to peak,
as the cattle-tedders call to each other across the
ravines, they would instantly be assured of bri
gands, and believe their lives not worth an
hour’s purchase. Wherefore they keep close at
hom6, and only venture out of sight and hear
ing of the community when the day is like one
of their own sweet sunny days of Italy, and they
are as little afraid of storms as—they need to be
of brigands.
Contrast with this peaceful, indolent, home-
staying family, that brisk, bright, reckless Am
erican triad—those three quite young, good-
looking, ‘unprotected females,’ who have come
over the seas to ‘do Europe’ in less time than
we slower and older creatures take to ‘do’ one
State or even one historical city. They are like
nothing so much as three several flashes of
lightning, not so much for the quickness of their
movements as for the rapidity of their minds
and the swiftness of thtir conclusions. They
understand you with half a word; and before
you have spoken the other half have taken the
argument out of your mouth—have turned it and
you inside cut—and have left you without an
inch of ground that you can call your own, or a
metaphorical leg to stand on. They dazzle you
by their brightness, and bewilder you by the
swiftness and suddenness and completeness of
their attacks. You feel as if the three were mul
tiplied into thirty, and that you are assailed at
all points at once. But they are withal the
sweettst-tempered and most amusing compan
ions that you can find in a long summer’s day,
and they carry tbeir flag with so much amiabil
ity, as well as honesty, that you can do nothing
more than rub yonr eyes good-humoredly when
they have flapped it rather hard across the lids.
While they stayed with us they made the intel
lectual life of the| English-speaking part of the
community, and the wonder of those of the Lat
in, if the envj of those of the Teutonic people
who were associated with us. These three young
women, rich, pretty, attractive, 'doing Europe'
with never a man nor a maid to help ike-m, and
es free from fear as if they w»rs walking down
Br< adway at noonday !—it was a practical lesson
that tank deep in the minds of all who conned
and did not understand it; just as the freedom
from prejudice, the intellectual courage and
brtadth and brightness of their minds, was a
lesson to those who spoke their language but
did not live in their world, and who had never
dared to divest their own thoughts of leading
strings, red tape and iron boots. Peace be to
them, and good luck go with them ! They
flashed through our quiet sky like brilliant birds
of rare plumage, and when they went they left a
blank which not even tbe next corners filled up
Among tlie Gleaners.
Barns and the Dogs.
‘The Two Dogs’ of Burns is a genial exposi
tion of the poor man’s philosophy. The dog ot
wealth laying aside his master’s pride in his
master's absence, meets the peasant dog with
kindly courtesy, and both tranquilly on their
haunches, with nose to nose and most sagacious
phizzet, discuss the comparative merits of riches
and poverty, pity the follies of their two legged
fellow-creatures, congratulate each other od
their canine superiority, and bless their stars
for being dogs instead of men. Ctesar, the do,
of high life, with an air of peculiar respectabil
ity and most complaoeni compasrsion, wonders
Low poor folks can live at all. Lnath, his hum
ble friend, endeavors to prove to his compan
ion that poor folks not only live, but live with
many pleasures to which the rich are generally
strangers. This Loath wts a dog of sympathy.
He shared tbe cottage sorrow, he shared also the
cottage jog; he rattled away among the dancers,
wagged his tail in the highest glee of his honest
heart and added his ohorus to the merry sound.
When adversity was on the hearth bis face grew
long; when better times returned, it was broad
again.
‘My heart hae been so pain to see them,
That I for joy hae barkit wi’ them.’
Burns was onoe discussing with a friend the
fidelity of the dog and took up the subject with
all the ardor and kindly feeling with which his
conversation was so remarkably characterized.
•Man,’ he said, ‘is the God of the dog. He
knows no other, he can understand no other,
and see how he worships him ! With what rev
erence he crouches at his feet, with what love
he fawrs upon him, with what dependence he
looks np to him, and with what alacrity he obeys
him. His whole soul is wrapped up in his God,
and the powers and faculties of his nature are
devoted to his service, aDd these powers and fac
ulties are exalted by the intercom ss. It ought
to be just so with the Christian, but the dogs
put the Christians to shame.’
CHARACTEHISTICS OP HUMEB.
This faculty is not the slight matter that many
seem to think it. Hnmor in its highest form*
is the quality, not only of a libera], but of a cul
tivated spirit. It requires that the mental pow-
eis be vigorous as well as genial. It requires
imagination and intellect as well as a heart in
the right place and the juices of the body in a
right condition. Humor as well as pathos is
the result of sympathy—of sympathy that em
braces man in the most brotherly cordiality—
weep with those who weep and rejoic<s with
those who do rejoice. This is the humor of
Shakespeare; it is the humor ot Hagartb; it is
the humor of Burns. And many a noble use
has this honest faculty. Often it is more effective
than sermons to make life lambent, to clear the
sky that was becoming too heavy around us, to
vivify social communion, to dispel evil passion,
and by its pleasant mockeries to shame us out
of shams and nonsensical miseries.
DEAN SWIFT’s MtJM PARTY.
I lately read of a man in New York State and
recently deceased, who spoke only twice in fifty
years. Dean Swift also during his life, had a
mum party all by himself, but it embraced a
period of but little more than a year. In that
length of time, the not-immaccnlate dean was
wholly silent, with but three recorded excep-
tiot s. On one occasion, a careless servant girl
blew out a candle in his chamber and the smell
offended him. He told her she was ‘a nasty
slut.’ At another time, a servant man was try-
inn to break a large and stubborn lump ot coal,
when the dean exclaimed, ‘That’s a stone, you
blackguard.’ At the other time, not finding
words to express something he wished in writ
ing, he exhibited much uneasiness, and said, ‘I
am a fool.’ He here concluded not to personate
the charseter any longer and that broke up his
mum party of one.

Mrs. Isadore Middleton, a very beautiful
woman, and one of the acknowledged leaders ot
fashion in Mobile, can certainly boast of the
possession of as much nerve an true moral
courage as are often vouchsafed to any of her
sex.
One evening recently, she was in her bon
doir putting away some articles ot jewelry, when
she noticed that the peculiar position ot a libra
ry lamp that was burning upon a chair in the
back part of the room threw upon the floor, al
most directly at her feet, the shadow of a man
who was crouching under a Oroad-topped orna
mental table in the centre of the roefm. Sue also
remarked that the open hand of tbe shadow nad
but two fingers, and remembered that several
desperate burglaries had been committed in the
neighborhood, snppositionsly by a negro d>s-
perado, who was notorious as having lest two
fingers of his right hand.
Mr. Middleton was absent from the oity, and
besides herself, there was but a single maid ser
vant in the house. Instead of fainting with
fear or shrieking for help, the brave lady seated
herself at the very table underneath wbioh the
misoreant was concealed, and rang for a servant
Hand me writing materia’s, Bridget,’ she
said, with perfect calmness; *1 want you to take
a note this instant to Mr. Forfair, he jeweler 4
and have him send yon back with my diamond
neoklaoe aud ear-drops wbioh I left there lor re
pairs several days ago. Bring them with you,
do matter if fully repaired or not. They are by
twenty fold the most valuable articles ot j welry
that 1 possess, and I do not wish to pass anoth
er night without having them in my hurean
drawer.’
The note was at once written and dispatched;
but, instead of being in the tenor that she Lad
signified (on purpose for the conoealed robber
I to overhear, for she had no jewelry under re
pair), it was a hasty note to the jt.Wc.ler, an inti
mate friend, in wbioh she sucoinctly stated her
terrible position, and urged him to hasten to
her relief wi;h the reqi.idte police assistance
immediately on receipt or the missive
The agonies which that refined and delicate
woman UDdeiwent when left alone in the house,
with thS consciousness of that dtsperate robber,
perhaps assassin as well, crouched under the
very table upon which she leaned, and perhaps
touched by her dress, can only be lett to the
reader’s imagination; but her iron nerve sus
tained her through the ordeal. She yawned,
hummed an operalio air, turned over the leaves
of a novel, and in other ways luiitd the lurker
into a sense of perfect security and expectancy,
end waited—waited with a wiidly beating heart,
and her eyes fastened witn a greedy, feverisn
grze, upon the bands of her Iittie ormnln clock.
At last, however, came the prayed-tor relief.
There was a ring at the door bell, and she stroll
ed carelessly into the hall and down stairs to
open it. The ruse had been a success. She not
only admitted Bridget, but also Mr. Forfair and
three stalwart pelicemen. The latter stealthily
passed up stairs and into the boudoir, where
they pounced upon the concealed burglar so un
expectedly as to secure him with scarcely a
struggle.
The prisoner proved to be a negro criminal
named C apman, but generally known as ‘Twt-
fingered Jeff,’ who, about that time, was wanted
by the police to answer for several robberies
committed in the neighborhood a short time be
fore and he is now serving a twenty years' sen
tence in the A'abama State prison.
