+ Catskill Mountains.
+
+ It was written for the amusement of the guests
+ at TODD'S "Hillside Home," to whom the facts as
+ set forth were familiar, and who will recognize in

+
+ S. D.
+
+ Philadelphia, Nov. 22, 1886.
+
+
+
+
+ TUFFY TODD'S ADVENTURE.
+
+
+ There is a little dog whose name
+ Is Tuffy Todd, who has the same
+ Wise look as many a dog you've met;
+ And is a well-bred house-dog pet,
+ But quaintly called in rhyme a hound,
+ To please the poet's ear for sound.
+ Round as a mole, he's fat and fair,
+ And robed in coat of whitest hair;
+ His soft brown eyes are bright and clear,
+ His little ears are quick to hear.
+ He has a kind expressive face,
+ With every feature full of grace;
+ In disposition meek and mild,
+ He's gentle as a little child;
+ But has his own peculiar way,
+ As all who hear will surely say.
+
+ He is to people so polite,
+ You'd think he'd never bark or bite,
+ But strangers climbing up the hill
+ Will shout in vain: "You hound, be still!"
+ And traveler late in midnight dark
+ Is sure to hear Tuff's loudest bark,
+ While tramps who come about the yard
+ Must flee or face a valiant guard.
+
+ Although he has a host of friends,
+ To them he rarely condescends,
+ And their caresses kindly made
+ Are with indifference coldly paid.
+ He lives for Master Orrin Todd
+ And worships him as household god;
+ With him Tuff wildly romps and plays,
+ And from his side but seldom strays.
+ At times when Orrin goes away
+ To tarry but a single day,
+ He bids his Tuffy stay behind
+ And try to have a peaceful mind.
+ But Tuff, so sad and desolate,
+ Lies down alone to meditate;
+ Or seeks the porch--a sunny place--
+ To watch for Todd's returning face,
+ Or wait until the voice so dear
+ Shall fall like music on his ear.
+ Unmoved by other sight or sound
+ He lies as if in thought profound.
+ Call him, he seems both deaf and dumb
+ Unless you say: "Ho! _Orrin's_ come!"
+ When quick, like one from sleep, he springs,
+ And flies, as swift as bird on wings,
+ To meet his master and his friend,--
+ Then Tuffy's mourning has an end.
+ His ways eccentric may appear,
+ But in the sequel they'll be clear.
+
+ Now little Tuff, it may seem strange,
+ Had lived at home, nor thought of change;
+ But one calm morning clear and bright,
+ As if new visions filled his sight,
+ To _Griffin's Corners_ begged a ride
+ In Orrin's wagon by his side.
+ Good Master Todd could not deny
+ The pleading of poor Tuffy's eye,
+ And said: "Jump in and take a seat,
+ And you shall have a royal treat;
+ For though we go by mountain road
+ And do not want a heavy load,
+ Our sprightly horses strong and true
+ Will never mind a mite like you."
+ Then Tuff leaped in and sat erect
+ As if to show his intellect,
+ When off they rode with hearts of glee,
+ And warmer friends you rarely see.
+
+ Now Orrin thought it would be nice
+ To give his Tuffy some advice:
+ "Be careful, Tuffy mine," said he,
+ "We go where many dangers be;
+ Turn not aside nor leave my track
+ Till setting sun shall warn us back.
+ In town you will a stranger be;
+ Again I say: Go not from me."
+ To which the simple dog replied:
+ "Oh, never will I leave thy side,
+ But follow where thy footsteps lead,
+ Thou dearest friend in time of need."
+ (Our Tuff can talk like dogs of old
+ Of whom in fable Æsop told.)
+
+ Then Todd, to pass away the time,
+ Thus entertained his guest in rhyme:
+ "I've always made you stay at home
+ And never let you widely roam,
+ Because I feared you might be lost
+ And by the world be rudely tossed;
+ Or lest in some unlucky way
+ You might be hurt as on that day--
+ That doleful, direful day,--when life
+ And death seemed balanced in the strife.
+ You then were but a little pup,
+ And with a snail could scarce keep up,
+ But seeing Flora's gentle pace,
+ You thought with her you'd run a race!
+ And as she moved along the road
+ And pulled with care her heavy load,
+ You chanced to fall beneath the wheel
+ Which crushed your leg and made you reel.
+ O dreadful sight! O fearful cry!
+ A mangled limb! no surgeon nigh!
+ I stanched the blood which freely flowed,
+ And in my arms--a tiny load--
+ I bore you safely to our door;
+ Then said: 'You shall go out no more
+ Until your leg is fully healed,
+ Or death shall take you from the field!'
+ I set and bandaged well your limb,
+ (Should surgeon doubt, I'd challenge him,)
+ And laid you on an easy bed
+ And saw that you were kindly fed.
+ I closely watched you night and day
+ And did not fail for you to pray!
+ When you had reached the third long week,
+ Thank God! (with reverence do I speak)
+ 'Twas plain you needed nothing more
+ Than just to walk about the floor.
+ At length, when people thought you dead,
+ You left your room and little bed;
+ "He's _tough_," they said, "as hickory rod,"
+ And called you "_Tough_," then Tuffy Todd;
+ And thus you see it strangely came
+ You have a soft and pretty name.
+ Now since to perfect health restored,
+ To thank me well you can afford."
+
+ Tuff answered: "Do you doubt, dear friend,
+ That I shall thank you to the end?
+ Since I was struck by wheel so rude,
+ Have I not shown you gratitude?
+ Have I not always been to you
+ Obedient, faithful, good and true?
+ Through evil and through good report
+ I've never failed in my support!
+ Forsaking friends, let none deny
+ For you I've lived, for you I'll die;
+ What care I for the world around
+ When all my joy in you is found?
+ Please pardon if too bold I seem
+ And hold me firm in your esteem."
+
+ "I did not mean to grieve your heart,
+ Good Tuff, nor cause a single smart,
+ But just to have a little play,
+ I thought I'd see what you would say
+ In answer to my sober talk,
+ While slow the horses onward walk."
+
+ Conversing thus as friend with friend,
+ At last they reach their journey's end.
+ Todd's heart with anxious fears beset,
+ Foreboding peril to his pet,
+ He turns to Tuffy: "You've been warned
+ In language clear and unadorned,
+ To stay by me and to beware
+ Of dangers lurking everywhere.
+ Although no prophet born or bred,
+ Though on my mind no light is shed,
+ I fear from knowledge of your race,
+ _The day will end in your disgrace_."
+
+ Out jumped brave Tuff and Farmer Todd,
+ But scarce had gone a single rod
+ Before they heard: "Bow-wow! Friend Tuff!
+ For that's your name I'm sure enough;
+ How glad I am to see your face
+ And give to you a friend's embrace;
+ Now while in town, stay thou with me,
+ And boon companions we will be."
+ Then Tuff, (poor "Innocent abroad,"
+ Who never dreamed of any fraud,)
+ Replied: "Perhaps we've met before,
+ I'll take your word and ask no more:
+ It would not seem polite, I know,
+ Should I refuse with you to go."
+ Away they marched, as large as life,
+ Their hearts with hope and pleasure rife,
+ And wandered in their heedless play,
+ Through many a dark and devious way.
+ Unchecked they raced and chased around,
+ A lawless cur and recreant hound;
+ They took no note of time, nor cared
+ How far they strayed nor how they fared;
+ For Tuff could not foresee his woes
+ Till darkness did around him close.
+
+ Oh, Tuffy, born and reared in ease,
+ With bread enough to eat and cheese,
+ Where now thy master's tender care?
+ Where now the bed thou erst didst share?
+ Thy new-made friend all false will be
+ In time of thy adversity!
+ Upon the cold, cold ground to-night
+ No sleep shall come ere morning light,
+ Nor morsel sweet for hungry maw,
+ Nor peace for nature's broken law!
+
+ The westering sun had low declined,
+ When homeward with an easy mind
+ Good Orrin turned his horses' feet,
+ Expecting there his dog to meet;
+ But drawing near, no Tuff was found
+ To greet him with accustomed sound.
+ Poor Orrin could not sleep a wink,
+ But lay awake all night to think
+ How sad the fate of Tuff might be,
+ Who late was in prosperity.
+
+ Back, in the early morning bright,
+ To Griffin's Orrin took his flight,
+ But thoughts of Tuff so filled his mind
+ No other thought a place could find,
+ And as he passed each neighbor's door
+ 'Twas little known the load he bore.
+ The dogs ran out and barked so bold
+ They wakened echoes in the wold,
+ While ducks and geese joined in the strife
+ And quacked and screamed for their dear life.
+ Then proudly crowed vain chanticleer:
+ "I am, you see, without a peer,
+ Let none within my realm intrude
+ To scare my hens and little brood."
+ But patient kine in farmyard pent
+ Were mute with meek-eyed wonderment,
+ While grazing sheep on hillside near,
+ Heard all and said: "We need not fear;"
+ Each mother called her own dear lamb,
+ Who answered back: "Oh, here I am!"
+ The squirrel with his nimble feet
+ Now quickly found a safe retreat,
+ And from the wall, or limb on high,
+ Peeped slyly out as Todd went by.
+ The birds from out the leafy trees,
+ So gently swayed by morning breeze,
+ Poured forth their notes in merry lay
+ And sang: "Good speed and happy day!"
+ And insect world, on joyous wing,
+ In sunlight clear did sweetly sing,
+ Or hum in myriad tones so gay:
+ "We cheer the traveler on his way."
+ But ferns and flowers in wayside beds
+ With meek surprise did lift their heads
+ And whisper low: "Our friend's in haste
+ And has no time on us to waste.
+ In days gone by he'd stop awhile
+ To praise our charms and make us smile,
+ Or take us in his gentle hands
+ As if rare gifts from foreign lands."
+
+ And thus each loving, living thing
+ Had kindly thought or word to bring,
+ Which proved a balm to soothe Todd's soul
+ As he moved onward to his goal.
+
+ The livelong day through street and lane
+ He sought his dog, but sought in vain;
+ From house to house he asked each man,
+ "Where's Tuff? Pray tell me if you can."
+ "Why, Tuff has gone with Bruno Brown,
+ A dog," they said, "of poor renown."
+ It was enough to turn one's brain
+ To always hear this sad refrain.
+
+ Retracing now in twilight drear
+ His weary steps, Todd dropped a tear
+ And took with heavy heart the way
+ His feet had pressed at opening day,
+ And walked in doubt and gloom along
+ Where late he sang his cheerful song,--
+ Where frisked his faithful dog with glee
+ And kept him joyful company.
+
+ Poor Tuff, a wanderer forlorn,
+ Now loud bewailed that he was born!
+
+ For though in darkness and in grief,
+ There came no friend to his relief.
+ But being born he did not care
+ Just then to die. With reason rare,
+ He searched along the dusty ground
+ To see where footprints could be found,
+ When he with keen instinctive nose
+ Discerned the course of Orrin's toes!
+
+ Then light and hope began to rise
+ And cheer the darkness of his skies,
+ While slow he kept the lonely road
+ Which led him safe to his abode.
+ Scarce twelve had struck the kitchen clock
+ When lo! was heard a scratch or knock.
+ "Oh!" said his wife: "Oh, Orrin dear!
+ _The lost is found; our Tuff is here!_"
+ Then up sprang Orrin with a bound,
+ And welcomed home his truant hound,
+ Whose downcast eye and trembling frame
+ Betrayed a sense of guilt and shame.
+
+ But Todd in sweet forgiving mood
+ Spread Tuff a couch and gave him food,
+ And bade him now find rest in sleep,
+ And thus forget his sorrows deep.
+ Then Tuff in silence ate his meal,
+ But made by looks this sad appeal:
+ "Oh friend, in sorrow and in cheer,
+ There's none on earth as you so dear;
+ For all the trouble I have brought
+ I am not worthy of your thought,
+ And would receive a just return
+ Should you my presence coldly spurn,
+ Or from me turn with angry frown
+ And let me in despair sink down.
+ I will not plead in self-defence
+ Nor try to prove my innocence,
+ But truth requires that I should say
+ How I was duped and led astray
+ By cunning dog, who boldly claimed
+ He'd seen my home ere I was named--
+ Had heard of Tuffy Todd before
+ When passing by our cottage door!
+ He led me captive at his will
+ And made me suffer direst ill,
+ Which was no more than I deserved,
+ Who from the path of duty swerved.
+ I have my sins and woes confessed,
+ And ask forgiveness, peace and rest.
+ Oh grant the mercy which I crave
+ Or I shall find an early grave!"
+
+ To such petition all unused,
+ With faltering words and eyes suffused,
+ Kind Orrin made this brief reply:
+ "The same true friends are you and I;
+ As we have ever been before
+ We will be now and evermore.
+ And since you mourn this first offence
+ With deep and humble penitence,
+ I grant forgiveness full and free,
+ And trust no lapse again to see."
+
+ To banish care and doubt and fear
+ And waken hope and faith and cheer,
+ Good Orrin, with a tact supreme,
+ From great to small then changed his theme.
+ "My dog," quoth he, "with morning sun
+ I'll see what can for you be done.
+ There comes just now this happy thought--
+ For you a collar shall be bought,
+ That if perchance you go astray
+ You will be known, though far away.
+ On it must be inscribed your name
+ And Latin words to give you fame!
+ _Nil desperandum_, they shall be,
+ And from despair may you be free!"
+
+ What more did pass between these friends,
+ The curtain now around descends;
+ Their mutual joys, their mutual woes,
+ The poet's pen may not disclose.
+ To dog and master, both so true,
+ Long life and peace, and our adieu.
+
+ Now turning from the gay or sad,
+ This moral we will simply add:
+ Ye maidens fair and comely youth,
+ Accept the words of love and truth:
+ _Not all is gold with golden gleam,_
+ _Not all are friends who friendly seem;_
+ _The_ TRIED, _the_ TRUSTED _and the_ TRUE,
+ _These are the friends we name for you._

- As all who hear will surely say.
-
- He is to people so polite,

- And traveler late in midnight dark
- Is sure to hear Tuff's loudest bark,

- Must flee or face a valiant guard.
-
- Although he has a host of friends,
- To them he rarely condescends,

- He lives for Master Orrin Todd

- And flies, as swift as bird on wings,
- To meet his master and his friend,--
- Then Tuffy's mourning has an end.
- His ways eccentric may appear,

-
- Now little Tuff, it may seem strange,
- Had lived at home, nor thought of change;
- But one calm morning clear and bright,
- As if new visions filled his sight,
- To _Griffin's Corners_ begged a ride
- In Orrin's wagon by his side.
- Good Master Todd could not deny
- The pleading of poor Tuffy's eye,
- And said: "Jump in and take a seat,
- And you shall have a royal treat;
- For though we go by mountain road
- And do not want a heavy load,
- Our sprightly horses strong and true
- Will never mind a mite like you."
- Then Tuff leaped in and sat erect
- As if to show his intellect,
- When off they rode with hearts of glee,
- And warmer friends you rarely see.
-
- Now Orrin thought it would be nice
- To give his Tuffy some advice:
- "Be careful, Tuffy mine," said he,
- "We go where many dangers be;
- Turn not aside nor leave my track
- Till setting sun shall warn us back.
- In town you will a stranger be;
- Again I say: Go not from me."
- To which the simple dog replied:
- "Oh, never will I leave thy side,
- But follow where thy footsteps lead,
- Thou dearest friend in time of need."
- (Our Tuff can talk like dogs of old
- Of whom in fable Æsop told.)
-
- Then Todd, to pass away the time,
- Thus entertained his guest in rhyme:
- "I've always made you stay at home
- And never let you widely roam,
- Because I feared you might be lost
- And by the world be rudely tossed;
- Or lest in some unlucky way
- You might be hurt as on that day--
- That doleful, direful day,--when life
- And death seemed balanced in the strife.
- You then were but a little pup,
- And with a snail could scarce keep up,
- But seeing Flora's gentle pace,
- You thought with her you'd run a race!
- And as she moved along the road
- And pulled with care her heavy load,
- You chanced to fall beneath the wheel
- Which crushed your leg and made you reel.
- O dreadful sight! O fearful cry!
- A mangled limb! no surgeon nigh!
- I stanched the blood which freely flowed,
- And in my arms--a tiny load--
- I bore you safely to our door;
- Then said: 'You shall go out no more
- Until your leg is fully healed,
- Or death shall take you from the field!'
- I set and bandaged well your limb,
- (Should surgeon doubt, I'd challenge him,)
- And laid you on an easy bed
- And saw that you were kindly fed.
- I closely watched you night and day
- And did not fail for you to pray!
- When you had reached the third long week,
- Thank God! (with reverence do I speak)
- 'Twas plain you needed nothing more
- Than just to walk about the floor.
- At length, when people thought you dead,
- You left your room and little bed;
- "He's _tough_," they said, "as hickory rod,"
- And called you "_Tough_," then Tuffy Todd;
- And thus you see it strangely came
- You have a soft and pretty name.
- Now since to perfect health restored,
- To thank me well you can afford."
-
- Tuff answered: "Do you doubt, dear friend,
- That I shall thank you to the end?
- Since I was struck by wheel so rude,
- Have I not shown you gratitude?
- Have I not always been to you
- Obedient, faithful, good and true?
- Through evil and through good report
- I've never failed in my support!
- Forsaking friends, let none deny
- For you I've lived, for you I'll die;
- What care I for the world around
- When all my joy in you is found?
- Please pardon if too bold I seem
- And hold me firm in your esteem."
-
- "I did not mean to grieve your heart,
- Good Tuff, nor cause a single smart,
- But just to have a little play,
- I thought I'd see what you would say
- In answer to my sober talk,
- While slow the horses onward walk."
-
- Conversing thus as friend with friend,
- At last they reach their journey's end.
- Todd's heart with anxious fears beset,
- Foreboding peril to his pet,
- He turns to Tuffy: "You've been warned
- In language clear and unadorned,
- To stay by me and to beware
- Of dangers lurking everywhere.
- Although no prophet born or bred,
- Though on my mind no light is shed,
- I fear from knowledge of your race,
- _The day will end in your disgrace_."
-
- Out jumped brave Tuff and Farmer Todd,
- But scarce had gone a single rod
- Before they heard: "Bow-wow! Friend Tuff!
- For that's your name I'm sure enough;
- How glad I am to see your face
- And give to you a friend's embrace;
- Now while in town, stay thou with me,
- And boon companions we will be."
- Then Tuff, (poor "Innocent abroad,"
- Who never dreamed of any fraud,)
- Replied: "Perhaps we've met before,
- I'll take your word and ask no more:
- It would not seem polite, I know,
- Should I refuse with you to go."
- Away they marched, as large as life,
- Their hearts with hope and pleasure rife,
- And wandered in their heedless play,
- Through many a dark and devious way.
- Unchecked they raced and chased around,
- A lawless cur and recreant hound;
- They took no note of time, nor cared
- How far they strayed nor how they fared;
- For Tuff could not foresee his woes
- Till darkness did around him close.
-
- Oh, Tuffy, born and reared in ease,
- With bread enough to eat and cheese,
- Where now thy master's tender care?
- Where now the bed thou erst didst share?
- Thy new-made friend all false will be
- In time of thy adversity!
- Upon the cold, cold ground to-night
- No sleep shall come ere morning light,
- Nor morsel sweet for hungry maw,
- Nor peace for nature's broken law!
-
- The westering sun had low declined,
- When homeward with an easy mind
- Good Orrin turned his horses' feet,
- Expecting there his dog to meet;
- But drawing near, no Tuff was found
- To greet him with accustomed sound.
- Poor Orrin could not sleep a wink,
- But lay awake all night to think
- How sad the fate of Tuff might be,
- Who late was in prosperity.
-
- Back, in the early morning bright,
- To Griffin's Orrin took his flight,
- But thoughts of Tuff so filled his mind
- No other thought a place could find,
- And as he passed each neighbor's door
- 'Twas little known the load he bore.
- The dogs ran out and barked so bold
- They wakened echoes in the wold,
- While ducks and geese joined in the strife
- And quacked and screamed for their dear life.
- Then proudly crowed vain chanticleer:
- "I am, you see, without a peer,
- Let none within my realm intrude
- To scare my hens and little brood."
- But patient kine in farmyard pent
- Were mute with meek-eyed wonderment,
- While grazing sheep on hillside near,
- Heard all and said: "We need not fear;"
- Each mother called her own dear lamb,
- Who answered back: "Oh, here I am!"
- The squirrel with his nimble feet
- Now quickly found a safe retreat,
- And from the wall, or limb on high,
- Peeped slyly out as Todd went by.
- The birds from out the leafy trees,
- So gently swayed by morning breeze,
- Poured forth their notes in merry lay
- And sang: "Good speed and happy day!"
- And insect world, on joyous wing,
- In sunlight clear did sweetly sing,
- Or hum in myriad tones so gay:
- "We cheer the traveler on his way."
- But ferns and flowers in wayside beds
- With meek surprise did lift their heads
- And whisper low: "Our friend's in haste
- And has no time on us to waste.
- In days gone by he'd stop awhile
- To praise our charms and make us smile,
- Or take us in his gentle hands
- As if rare gifts from foreign lands."
-
- And thus each loving, living thing
- Had kindly thought or word to bring,
- Which proved a balm to soothe Todd's soul
- As he moved onward to his goal.
-
- The livelong day through street and lane
- He sought his dog, but sought in vain;
- From house to house he asked each man,
- "Where's Tuff? Pray tell me if you can."
- "Why, Tuff has gone with Bruno Brown,
- A dog," they said, "of poor renown."
- It was enough to turn one's brain
- To always hear this sad refrain.
-
- Retracing now in twilight drear
- His weary steps, Todd dropped a tear
- And took with heavy heart the way
- His feet had pressed at opening day,
- And walked in doubt and gloom along
- Where late he sang his cheerful song,--
- Where frisked his faithful dog with glee
- And kept him joyful company.
-
- Poor Tuff, a wanderer forlorn,
- Now loud bewailed that he was born!
-
- For though in darkness and in grief,
- There came no friend to his relief.
- But being born he did not care
- Just then to die. With reason rare,
- He searched along the dusty ground
- To see where footprints could be found,
- When he with keen instinctive nose
- Discerned the course of Orrin's toes!
-
- Then light and hope began to rise
- And cheer the darkness of his skies,
- While slow he kept the lonely road
- Which led him safe to his abode.
- Scarce twelve had struck the kitchen clock
- When lo! was heard a scratch or knock.
- "Oh!" said his wife: "Oh, Orrin dear!
- _The lost is found; our Tuff is here!_"
- Then up sprang Orrin with a bound,
- And welcomed home his truant hound,
- Whose downcast eye and trembling frame
- Betrayed a sense of guilt and shame.
-
- But Todd in sweet forgiving mood
- Spread Tuff a couch and gave him food,
- And bade him now find rest in sleep,
- And thus forget his sorrows deep.
- Then Tuff in silence ate his meal,
- But made by looks this sad appeal:
- "Oh friend, in sorrow and in cheer,
- There's none on earth as you so dear;
- For all the trouble I have brought
- I am not worthy of your thought,
- And would receive a just return
- Should you my presence coldly spurn,
- Or from me turn with angry frown
- And let me in despair sink down.
- I will not plead in self-defence
- Nor try to prove my innocence,
- But truth requires that I should say
- How I was duped and led astray
- By cunning dog, who boldly claimed
- He'd seen my home ere I was named--
- Had heard of Tuffy Todd before
- When passing by our cottage door!
- He led me captive at his will
- And made me suffer direst ill,
- Which was no more than I deserved,
- Who from the path of duty swerved.
- I have my sins and woes confessed,
- And ask forgiveness, peace and rest.
- Oh grant the mercy which I crave
- Or I shall find an early grave!"
-
- To such petition all unused,
- With faltering words and eyes suffused,
- Kind Orrin made this brief reply:
- "The same true friends are you and I;
- As we have ever been before
- We will be now and evermore.
- And since you mourn this first offence
- With deep and humble penitence,
- I grant forgiveness full and free,
- And trust no lapse again to see."
-
- To banish care and doubt and fear
- And waken hope and faith and cheer,
- Good Orrin, with a tact supreme,
- From great to small then changed his theme.
- "My dog," quoth he, "with morning sun
- I'll see what can for you be done.
- There comes just now this happy thought--
- For you a collar shall be bought,
- That if perchance you go astray
- You will be known, though far away.
- On it must be inscribed your name
- And Latin words to give you fame!
- _Nil desperandum_, they shall be,
- And from despair may you be free!"
-
- What more did pass between these friends,
- The curtain now around descends;
- Their mutual joys, their mutual woes,
- The poet's pen may not disclose.
- To dog and master, both so true,
- Long life and peace, and our adieu.
-
- Now turning from the gay or sad,
- This moral we will simply add:
- Ye maidens fair and comely youth,
- Accept the words of love and truth:
- _Not all is gold with golden gleam,_
- _Not all are friends who friendly seem;_
- _The_ TRIED, _the_ TRUSTED _and the_ TRUE,
- _These are the friends we name for you._

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

-and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
-and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
-To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
-To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
-and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
-To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-
- MR. and MRS. ORRIN TODD,
-
- IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE HAPPY HOURS SPENT
- AT HILLSIDE HOME,
-
- AND TO

-
- INTRODUCTORY NOTE.
-
- "TUFFY TODD'S ADVENTURE" is the record of
- an incident which actually occurred during the
- past summer while the writer was spending his
- vacation in a retired but charming part of the
- Catskill Mountains.
-
- It was written for the amusement of the guests
- at TODD'S "Hillside Home," to whom the facts as
- set forth were familiar, and who will recognize in
- the following lines the story as it originally appeared
- in the so-called _Dry Brook Evening Mail_.
-
- S. D.
-
- Philadelphia, Nov. 22, 1886.
-
-
-
-
- TUFFY TODD'S ADVENTURE.
-
-
- There is a little dog whose name
- Is Tuffy Todd, who has the same
- Wise look as many a dog you've met;
- And is a well-bred house-dog pet,
- But quaintly called in rhyme a hound,
- To please the poet's ear for sound.
- Round as a mole, he's fat and fair,
- And robed in coat of whitest hair;
- His soft brown eyes are bright and clear,
- His little ears are quick to hear.
- He has a kind expressive face,
- With every feature full of grace;
- In disposition meek and mild,
- He's gentle as a little child;
- But has his own peculiar way,
- As all who hear will surely say.
-
- He is to people so polite,
- You'd think he'd never bark or bite,
- But strangers climbing up the hill
- Will shout in vain: "You hound, be still!"
- And traveler late in midnight dark
- Is sure to hear Tuff's loudest bark,
- While tramps who come about the yard
- Must flee or face a valiant guard.
-
- Although he has a host of friends,
- To them he rarely condescends,
- And their caresses kindly made
- Are with indifference coldly paid.
- He lives for Master Orrin Todd
- And worships him as household god;
- With him Tuff wildly romps and plays,
- And from his side but seldom strays.
- At times when Orrin goes away
- To tarry but a single day,
- He bids his Tuffy stay behind
- And try to have a peaceful mind.
- But Tuff, so sad and desolate,
- Lies down alone to meditate;
- Or seeks the porch--a sunny place--
- To watch for Todd's returning face,
- Or wait until the voice so dear
- Shall fall like music on his ear.
- Unmoved by other sight or sound
- He lies as if in thought profound.
- Call him, he seems both deaf and dumb
- Unless you say: "Ho! _Orrin's_ come!"
- When quick, like one from sleep, he springs,
- And flies, as swift as bird on wings,
- To meet his master and his friend,--
- Then Tuffy's mourning has an end.
- His ways eccentric may appear,
- But in the sequel they'll be clear.
-
- Now little Tuff, it may seem strange,
- Had lived at home, nor thought of change;
- But one calm morning clear and bright,
- As if new visions filled his sight,
- To _Griffin's Corners_ begged a ride
- In Orrin's wagon by his side.
- Good Master Todd could not deny
- The pleading of poor Tuffy's eye,
- And said: "Jump in and take a seat,
- And you shall have a royal treat;
- For though we go by mountain road
- And do not want a heavy load,
- Our sprightly horses strong and true
- Will never mind a mite like you."
- Then Tuff leaped in and sat erect
- As if to show his intellect,
- When off they rode with hearts of glee,
- And warmer friends you rarely see.
-
- Now Orrin thought it would be nice
- To give his Tuffy some advice:
- "Be careful, Tuffy mine," said he,
- "We go where many dangers be;
- Turn not aside nor leave my track
- Till setting sun shall warn us back.
- In town you will a stranger be;
- Again I say: Go not from me."
- To which the simple dog replied:
- "Oh, never will I leave thy side,
- But follow where thy footsteps lead,
- Thou dearest friend in time of need."
- (Our Tuff can talk like dogs of old
- Of whom in fable AEsop told.)
-
- Then Todd, to pass away the time,
- Thus entertained his guest in rhyme:
- "I've always made you stay at home
- And never let you widely roam,
- Because I feared you might be lost
- And by the world be rudely tossed;
- Or lest in some unlucky way
- You might be hurt as on that day--
- That doleful, direful day,--when life
- And death seemed balanced in the strife.
- You then were but a little pup,
- And with a snail could scarce keep up,
- But seeing Flora's gentle pace,
- You thought with her you'd run a race!
- And as she moved along the road
- And pulled with care her heavy load,
- You chanced to fall beneath the wheel
- Which crushed your leg and made you reel.
- O dreadful sight! O fearful cry!
- A mangled limb! no surgeon nigh!
- I stanched the blood which freely flowed,
- And in my arms--a tiny load--
- I bore you safely to our door;
- Then said: 'You shall go out no more
- Until your leg is fully healed,
- Or death shall take you from the field!'
- I set and bandaged well your limb,
- (Should surgeon doubt, I'd challenge him,)
- And laid you on an easy bed
- And saw that you were kindly fed.
- I closely watched you night and day
- And did not fail for you to pray!
- When you had reached the third long week,
- Thank God! (with reverence do I speak)
- 'Twas plain you needed nothing more
- Than just to walk about the floor.
- At length, when people thought you dead,
- You left your room and little bed;
- "He's _tough_," they said, "as hickory rod,"
- And called you "_Tough_," then Tuffy Todd;
- And thus you see it strangely came
- You have a soft and pretty name.
- Now since to perfect health restored,
- To thank me well you can afford."
-
- Tuff answered: "Do you doubt, dear friend,
- That I shall thank you to the end?
- Since I was struck by wheel so rude,
- Have I not shown you gratitude?
- Have I not always been to you
- Obedient, faithful, good and true?
- Through evil and through good report
- I've never failed in my support!
- Forsaking friends, let none deny
- For you I've lived, for you I'll die;
- What care I for the world around
- When all my joy in you is found?
- Please pardon if too bold I seem
- And hold me firm in your esteem."
-
- "I did not mean to grieve your heart,
- Good Tuff, nor cause a single smart,
- But just to have a little play,
- I thought I'd see what you would say
- In answer to my sober talk,
- While slow the horses onward walk."
-
- Conversing thus as friend with friend,
- At last they reach their journey's end.
- Todd's heart with anxious fears beset,
- Foreboding peril to his pet,
- He turns to Tuffy: "You've been warned
- In language clear and unadorned,
- To stay by me and to beware
- Of dangers lurking everywhere.
- Although no prophet born or bred,
- Though on my mind no light is shed,
- I fear from knowledge of your race,
- _The day will end in your disgrace_."
-
- Out jumped brave Tuff and Farmer Todd,
- But scarce had gone a single rod
- Before they heard: "Bow-wow! Friend Tuff!
- For that's your name I'm sure enough;
- How glad I am to see your face
- And give to you a friend's embrace;
- Now while in town, stay thou with me,
- And boon companions we will be."
- Then Tuff, (poor "Innocent abroad,"
- Who never dreamed of any fraud,)
- Replied: "Perhaps we've met before,
- I'll take your word and ask no more:
- It would not seem polite, I know,
- Should I refuse with you to go."
- Away they marched, as large as life,
- Their hearts with hope and pleasure rife,
- And wandered in their heedless play,
- Through many a dark and devious way.
- Unchecked they raced and chased around,
- A lawless cur and recreant hound;
- They took no note of time, nor cared
- How far they strayed nor how they fared;
- For Tuff could not foresee his woes
- Till darkness did around him close.
-
- Oh, Tuffy, born and reared in ease,
- With bread enough to eat and cheese,
- Where now thy master's tender care?
- Where now the bed thou erst didst share?
- Thy new-made friend all false will be
- In time of thy adversity!
- Upon the cold, cold ground to-night
- No sleep shall come ere morning light,
- Nor morsel sweet for hungry maw,
- Nor peace for nature's broken law!
-
- The westering sun had low declined,
- When homeward with an easy mind
- Good Orrin turned his horses' feet,
- Expecting there his dog to meet;
- But drawing near, no Tuff was found
- To greet him with accustomed sound.
- Poor Orrin could not sleep a wink,
- But lay awake all night to think
- How sad the fate of Tuff might be,
- Who late was in prosperity.
-
- Back, in the early morning bright,
- To Griffin's Orrin took his flight,
- But thoughts of Tuff so filled his mind
- No other thought a place could find,
- And as he passed each neighbor's door
- 'Twas little known the load he bore.
- The dogs ran out and barked so bold
- They wakened echoes in the wold,
- While ducks and geese joined in the strife
- And quacked and screamed for their dear life.
- Then proudly crowed vain chanticleer:
- "I am, you see, without a peer,
- Let none within my realm intrude
- To scare my hens and little brood."
- But patient kine in farmyard pent
- Were mute with meek-eyed wonderment,
- While grazing sheep on hillside near,
- Heard all and said: "We need not fear;"
- Each mother called her own dear lamb,
- Who answered back: "Oh, here I am!"
- The squirrel with his nimble feet
- Now quickly found a safe retreat,
- And from the wall, or limb on high,
- Peeped slyly out as Todd went by.
- The birds from out the leafy trees,
- So gently swayed by morning breeze,
- Poured forth their notes in merry lay
- And sang: "Good speed and happy day!"
- And insect world, on joyous wing,
- In sunlight clear did sweetly sing,
- Or hum in myriad tones so gay:
- "We cheer the traveler on his way."
- But ferns and flowers in wayside beds
- With meek surprise did lift their heads
- And whisper low: "Our friend's in haste
- And has no time on us to waste.
- In days gone by he'd stop awhile
- To praise our charms and make us smile,
- Or take us in his gentle hands
- As if rare gifts from foreign lands."
-
- And thus each loving, living thing
- Had kindly thought or word to bring,
- Which proved a balm to soothe Todd's soul
- As he moved onward to his goal.
-
- The livelong day through street and lane
- He sought his dog, but sought in vain;
- From house to house he asked each man,
- "Where's Tuff? Pray tell me if you can."
- "Why, Tuff has gone with Bruno Brown,
- A dog," they said, "of poor renown."
- It was enough to turn one's brain
- To always hear this sad refrain.
-
- Retracing now in twilight drear
- His weary steps, Todd dropped a tear
- And took with heavy heart the way
- His feet had pressed at opening day,
- And walked in doubt and gloom along
- Where late he sang his cheerful song,--
- Where frisked his faithful dog with glee
- And kept him joyful company.
-
- Poor Tuff, a wanderer forlorn,
- Now loud bewailed that he was born!
-
- For though in darkness and in grief,
- There came no friend to his relief.
- But being born he did not care
- Just then to die. With reason rare,
- He searched along the dusty ground
- To see where footprints could be found,
- When he with keen instinctive nose
- Discerned the course of Orrin's toes!
-
- Then light and hope began to rise
- And cheer the darkness of his skies,
- While slow he kept the lonely road
- Which led him safe to his abode.
- Scarce twelve had struck the kitchen clock
- When lo! was heard a scratch or knock.
- "Oh!" said his wife: "Oh, Orrin dear!
- _The lost is found; our Tuff is here!_"
- Then up sprang Orrin with a bound,
- And welcomed home his truant hound,
- Whose downcast eye and trembling frame
- Betrayed a sense of guilt and shame.
-
- But Todd in sweet forgiving mood
- Spread Tuff a couch and gave him food,
- And bade him now find rest in sleep,
- And thus forget his sorrows deep.
- Then Tuff in silence ate his meal,
- But made by looks this sad appeal:
- "Oh friend, in sorrow and in cheer,
- There's none on earth as you so dear;
- For all the trouble I have brought
- I am not worthy of your thought,
- And would receive a just return
- Should you my presence coldly spurn,
- Or from me turn with angry frown
- And let me in despair sink down.
- I will not plead in self-defence
- Nor try to prove my innocence,
- But truth requires that I should say
- How I was duped and led astray
- By cunning dog, who boldly claimed
- He'd seen my home ere I was named--
- Had heard of Tuffy Todd before
- When passing by our cottage door!
- He led me captive at his will
- And made me suffer direst ill,
- Which was no more than I deserved,
- Who from the path of duty swerved.
- I have my sins and woes confessed,
- And ask forgiveness, peace and rest.
- Oh grant the mercy which I crave
- Or I shall find an early grave!"
-
- To such petition all unused,
- With faltering words and eyes suffused,
- Kind Orrin made this brief reply:
- "The same true friends are you and I;
- As we have ever been before
- We will be now and evermore.
- And since you mourn this first offence
- With deep and humble penitence,
- I grant forgiveness full and free,
- And trust no lapse again to see."
-
- To banish care and doubt and fear
- And waken hope and faith and cheer,
- Good Orrin, with a tact supreme,
- From great to small then changed his theme.
- "My dog," quoth he, "with morning sun
- I'll see what can for you be done.
- There comes just now this happy thought--
- For you a collar shall be bought,
- That if perchance you go astray
- You will be known, though far away.
- On it must be inscribed your name
- And Latin words to give you fame!
- _Nil desperandum_, they shall be,
- And from despair may you be free!"
-
- What more did pass between these friends,
- The curtain now around descends;
- Their mutual joys, their mutual woes,
- The poet's pen may not disclose.
- To dog and master, both so true,
- Long life and peace, and our adieu.
-
- Now turning from the gay or sad,
- This moral we will simply add:
- Ye maidens fair and comely youth,
- Accept the words of love and truth:
- _Not all is gold with golden gleam,_
- _Not all are friends who friendly seem;_
- _The_ TRIED, _the_ TRUSTED _and the_ TRUE,
- _These are the friends we name for you._

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
-To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
