Here come grey haired Darby and Joan, and, over the mug of beer they share between them, they sit thinking of the children  of little Lisa, married to clever Karl, who is pushing his way in the far off land that lies across the great sea; of laughing Elsie, settled in Hamburg, who has grandchildren of her own now; of fair haired Franz, his mother's pet, who fell in sunny France, fighting for the fatherland.

. The Bavarian artisan or shopkeeper understands and appreciates good music, as he understands and appreciates good beer. You cannot impose upon him with an inferior article. A music-hall audience in Munich are very particular as to how their beloved Wagner is rendered, and the trifles from Mozart and Haydn that they love to take in with their sausages and salad, and which, when performed to their satisfaction, they will thunderously applaud, must not be taken liberties with, or they will know the reason why. The German beer-garden should be visited by everyone who would see the German people as well as their churches and castles. It is here that the workers of all kinds congregate in the evening. Here, after the labours of the day, come the tradesman with his wife and family, the young clerk with his betrothed and--also her mother, alack and well-a-day!--the soldier with his sweetheart, the students in twos and threes, the little grisette with her cousin, the shop-boy and the workman.
