Thompson's Dog Jerry,
About oho hundred miles from
Mobile, on the bunks of the Tombigbee
river, tin re Ii\ ccl :m obi planter
named Thompson. A11*. Thompson
w;is a great lover ol bosses and tJ,?x,
particularly Oil* latter, an 1 bis plantation
was headquarters lor the lovers
of the canine race lor miles aiouml.
Mr. Thompson I ad a son named \\ i 1 1
i a in; we will call bint Hill, because
cviry body called bitu by that name.
iJill was about lom t?*cn years ol age
. when tin; war broke nut, mid it inter
lei ed with his father's plans concerning
bis education. However, the war
r '
ended, and be was setit to finish liU
studies at tin; University of Virginia.
15:11 remained at the University for
about lour years, and at the expiration

The old goltleinea was very proud
ol I>111 - -indeed he had reason to be.
1'e had grown to be a tall, elegantly
donned man, of graceful manners and
genteel appearance.
in his joy at his soil's return, Mr.
Thompson bad provided an elegant iepast,
and the <%clite" -of society were
invited to welcome Ikll home, The
entertainment v. as numerously at ten

the one ol the season, for the old gen

hours glided swiftly away.
Hill was congratulated over and
over; but the many congratulations Ite
received occasioned l!:e drinking of
jnofn wliioky than lie could carry,
ami his part of the reception was
Wrought to a close b) httt getting
hopelessly drunk, in wiiich condition
lie was found by his lather, under one
ol the tables.
'l hc old gentleman, however, smothered
his resentment, taking into eouhiduticn
that this might have been an
accident, and that it would not again
occur; but his hoj>e wan destined soon
to be dispelled, for as other fetes followed
at other place?, it was found
that Hill was too fond of whisky and
that he regularly came to grief at each
entertainment.
Mr. Thompson was not a inau to
very long tolerate such action on his
son's part; and one morning, aft-ei one
of Hill's excesses, he spoke to him con
veniing the matter. Hill could not
deny it, and there was a poor chance
for an apology. The old eentleniHn
became enraged at hill's silence, and
thus addressed him: 44l>i 11, I have
raised you up as carefully as ever a
child was raised. You have disgraced
me and toy name; 3 had (ondiv hoped
you would 1)0 nn honor to me and it.
I'll have no more of ihis. You can
remain here il you want to, and this
may he your home. You can have a
horse to ride and i will eloihe you
decently.; Jjul," he added with great
emphasis, "you shall not hereafter get
-<li 11111<, you shall cither earn your
money or steal it."
It was in vain that hill tried to apologize.
The old gentleman would take
no apology. The fiat had gone torth,
and however dry his throat might he,
hill knew there would ho no retraction
of his lather's words. fyo he concluded
to he a temperance man, hut ns is
usual in such cases, though "the spirit
was willing, the flesh was weak."
hill's throat soon became very dry
and annoying, and at last he made up
his mind that he must calculate upon
some plan whereby he could get a

In some of lud readings Bill remembered

"Xo, I don't' was tiie reply, and a !

"Well, I suppose they do,' replied
Hill, "hut what 1 was going to speak

but don't tell ute about this leaching

"Well now father, 1 respect every
word you sav,' replied l>ill, but I am '
bound as a gentleman to believe what j
gentlemen say; and 1 have heard sec- J
eral talking about it. lieally, I know
O nothing
of the lact*; hut as I said, 1 ;
beared several speaking about it, and i
I believe it. I was down town the

it would take fora dog like Jerry Jo

knowing as Jerry would leant in three :
months, and he said a good manv
I
never would learn.'
Hill's praises of Jerry did not go iki :
noticed. It there was any one tiling
that the old gentleman fully believed,
it was that there was never another
dog that knew as inneh as Jerry.
The eon vernation lor this time'termi*
nated, hut ldll somehow lelt that his
iather would ineut iott t'h.e sad-p/ct again,
and he was not mistaken.
A Jew days alter the a hove dialogue
the old gentleman met Hill and tiuc
addressed him: "Hi'll, do yon really
believe that Jerry couhJ learn to talk?'
"I -certaitdy believe it.' 1 ;i 11 replied.
4ll>o you know how much I bey
charge down theref

charge twenty live dollars admission.,
and then ten dollars a month lor hn.ml

him to school and come back; make ujj

Hill figured up the amount and came
to the conclusion that about sev enty
live dollars would delray the necessary i
expenses, and so apprized his laliier.
"Well now J>111 the Osage is com*

Look a share in it, and biting one ol j
the parties engaged was quiekly set !
upon and knocked over the side ot tiie

paddle-wheel was struck by it, and !
instantly killed.
Kill did not discover the loss ol the j

Mobile; and it was to that place that
he had originally determined to g<>.
li s astonishment ami sorrow at tne ;
loss ol his lather's favorite dog wore
very great, an 1 it moreover necessua- j

ol to bring his original plans to anything
like a successful ending.
lie had originally intended to take
the dog with Jiim to Mobile, and on
returning to bis home to declare to his
lather that ho had been misinformed,
that the school was a humbug and the
pretended teachers knaves; and he well
knew that so great was his lather's
dislike tor anything Yankee that he
would escape without any very severe
cross-examination. The Killing ol the
dog had upset all Kill's reckoning, and
he. was compelled to frame a new story,
which, as the sequel will show, lie successfully
did.

cmsi', laoct ions! y remarks, that I lie* ran'
ol women, who adopt, then* husband's
quarrels, is cvi -leully not extinct as is
illustrated by .M I s. llecelicr and Mrs.
.VIon 1 loll. The \vrit?r knows of a woman
not far oil' wlio is also a goot? illustration
of ill.it fact. She is "native
to the manor born,'1 about thirty
years *>4 age, has six boys, t ho oldest
having just all.atued i.is tenth year,l
Kinl-last but not .!ea<-t she has a busband.
This same husband not relish- '
ing the meagre fare upon wliieb his
family subsists, hires himself to v. neighbor
who boards 111111 at his ir bio. *1 he
husband departs ea.lv in the morning
and returns in the evening, ouiy in
lime to hear the six boys complain ol
being hungry before going to bed, ami
to see his wife lighten her apron spring
to avoid making the same complaint,
lie does the whiskey di'nking, the
tobacco chewing, and the idling for
the family, but nothing else. While
he does that, the wile, with the aid of
the six boys, cultivates six acres of
poor land, spins, weaves, and makes
the clothes for all, makes the shoes for 1
herself and the boys., and gets the family
washing done by repairing shoes 1
for her friends, while tliey do her 1
washing. All this to say nothing of
the cooking and nursing ol the boys,
mid the general drudging ol the family.
Let him who is bold enough, suggest '
in her presence thai her afore described
husband is not an industrious mail 1
