A WORD TO ANGLERS.
“ Coo l luck to jour fishing.”
The Monastery.
If, as “Thomas Best, Gent., late of his
Majesty's Prawing-room in the Tower,”
saith, “Patience is highly necessary-for
every one to be endowed with who angles
for carps, on account of their sagacity and
cunning,”—that virtue is still more essen
tial as an endowment to the angler who
goes alter the great Thames trouts, lie
must he content to spend much lime in
dropping down from stream to weir, from
pool to stream, and from stream to weir
again, and to burn all the skin off his face
many times before he has even a run :
moreover, unless he wears gloves—and n
one handles his tools with mittens so well
as he does without—he will have to pre
sent a pair of hands at the dining-table on
ly to be rivalled in their nut-brown hue
by those of the gipsy or the gravel-digger.
But when he does get a nine or ten pound
er into his well, the look-down upon the
fish, after all the hair-breadth hazards of
losing him when hooked, is worth the
weariness of many blank days, and the
production of those unpresentable hands
to boot.
To be sure, it does sometimes happen,
even to the best of sportsmen, that, after
the struggle is apparently over, and the
fish is close to the boat's side, something
will give way, leaving the unhappy Pis
cator with a straight rod and suddenly
slackened line, and also with a sensation
as if he had been suddenly deprived of his
back-bone.
But for a lover of nature, even when
fortune smiles not, this kind of fishing has
many charms:—the bright liver, the con
tinual change of scene, the rich beauty of
the highly cultivated and picturesque
country through which it flows, and the
exhilarating freshnessof the air, as it comes
laden with the perfume of the new-mown
hay, or of the honeysuckle blossoms from
“the eottngc of thatch,
Where never physician has lifted the latch,”
make mere existence a pleasure.
Then there is always something to be
seen by one who has eyes and knows how
to use them. There are the wild flowers
that enamel the hanks, the insects, the fish
—it requires a practised eye to see them—
the birds. Here, a king-fisher shoots by
like a meteor—there go the summer-snipes
—the swift darts by close to the boat,
like
“ An arrow from a Tartar's how” —
That back-water is positively carpeted with
the green leaves and snowy star-bloom off
the water-lily—and the nightingale hard 1
by T , in shadiest covert hid, fairly sings down
all the host of day-songsters, though the
blackbird and thrush make melody loud
and clear. 1
On one of these expeditions not long
ago, we observed below Lock,
just as a thunder-storm was coming on, a
pair of swans with seven young ones.—
There was evidently something more than
usual going on —some sensation, as the
French say, among them. The young
were collected between the parents, and
the whole party pushed up stream. At
first we thought they were nearing our
point, as we were dropping down from try
ing the weir, in the hope of bread; but
three of the young ones mounted on the
back of the female sivan. who elevated
her wings to receive them, the brilliant
whiteness of her plumage contrasting beau
tifully with the gray down of the little
creatures, and there was a sacred appear
ance about the whole party. The cause
was soon manifest.
A magnificent swan, worthy of Leda
herself, came ploughing up the water, in
dignantly, at a trespass on his domain.—
The family hurried on: and in their haste,
one of the young sliptoff its mother’s back.
There was distress! A weakling was
left behind in the wake of its father, and
whilst it scrambled along, non passibus
aquis, uttered shrill cries as the enemy ad
vanced. Up came the mighty bird, and
then the father, evidently inferior to the
attacking swan in age, size, and strength,
turned to meet him, while the little family,
huddled close to the mother, made haste to
escape up the river. Proud as the senior,
the young father threw back his neck be
tween his arched wings, and confronted
the giant. This was unexpected; they
kept sailing backward and forward abreast
of each other, across the stream, like two
war-ships; and the watchful turns of their
graceful necks and bodies, as each tried to
lake the other at advantage, was a sight
to see. We thought at last that they
would do battle; for each of the rivals el
evated himself on the water, and made show
of coinbat to the outrance. But, by this
time the family, under the guidance of the
alleclionate mother, were safe, and the el
der male swan seemed to think that the
better part of valour is discretion, and that
he had driven the intruders from his royal
ty. So they parted. The young one went
up to receive his reward from the mother
of his family, and the old one rubbed his
neck on his wings, and dived, and dropped
down stream again, evidently comforting
himself that he had given the tresspasser a
lesson.
There was a dog belonging to the Lock
house. He, from experience, seemed to
know that all swans are bullies, but still
the encounter was something ior a dog at a
. lock-house, where anything is an incident.
\ And, indeed, this was so much more car
: nest in show than the usual conflicts, that
he moved down towards the brink, though
the rain was coming on. At first he sat
upon his tail: but, as the affair gave hope
of becoming serious, be couched and when
the birds lifted themselves, as in act to fight,
dropped his head on his outstreched fore
j legs, with all the ecstacy of an amateur.
When, however, lie found that it was no
| go, and that the menaces ended as usual —
much in the same way as they have done
of late among the urifeathcred bipeds, ac
cording to the new code of chivalry,—lie
j shook himself, like a sensible dog, and
went back to shelter.
On another occasion, after fishing many
miles of water with nothing but a few
perch and jack in the well ss the results,
we dropped down to Weir,
Wearied with my no-sport, I stretched
my listless length on the boarding that
flanked the main weir, and watched with
I half-shut eyes, through the tremulous ae
rial medium .that often attends a warm
summer's day, the osiers on my left. The
thundering of the fall had, by degrees,
something soothing in it, and I felt that I
was sinking fast into a doze, when I be
held a tall figure, in rusty black, with a
club-foot, swarthy sharp visage, and an
eye that positively glowed, looking down
upon me.
“Ah !” said lie, “no sport! Well,l, too,
am a sportsman —and a very keen sports
man ; but I am getting old, snd I cannot
walk the weirs now.”
How he could ever have walked the
weirs with that foot of his seemed a mys
tery ; but the love of sport will carry peo
ple over anything. Finding l made no re
ply,the figure continued —
“ What would you give to have on your
line that fish, whose glittering side you
saw but now, as he leaped from the river
till his splash was heard above the noise
of the waters 1 He that was afterwards
chasing the bleak on the shallow till his
huge shoulders and back-fin were fairly
shown.”
“Any thing,” replied I; for I had been
watching this fish—a twelve or fourteen
pounder at least, strong on his feed, and
making the small fish skip into the air be
fore him—“ anything !”
“ I do not want anything very substan
tial,” said he meekly.
I looked up.
“You said awhile you would give any
thing ?”
“ I did.”
“ You will give it, then ?”
“ Certainly.”
“ Agreed.”
He produced a small but most brilliant
fish—such a one as l had never seen, and
1 had seen many, a kind of miniature Opah
or King-fish —and fixed it on the hooks of
the trace most skilfully.
“You don’t repent?” said he.
“No; but am I to have that great fish
on my line ?”
“Yes.”
“And land him?”
“The fish shall he landed.”
“I shall want to send him to town,
Can you meet me at the church yonder
with a basket ?”
“1 don’t go much to churches,” said he;
“people would stare at me so; but if you
mean there,” (as I pointed with my rod to
wards the tower), “I will see you in the
churchyard.”
I examined my splendid bait to see that
it was all right. Neither Wilder, Purdy,
nor Goddard could have fixed it better. 1
tried it in the Stillwater, and it spun admi
rably. When 1 raised my head to praise
the baiter, he was gone.
I was anxious to try my bait; and beck
oned to the fisherman who was sitting on
the other end of the long weir-beam by my
companion, as the latter was fishing be
tween the two last spurs, near the eddy in
the corner. He came.
“ Have you had a run ?” said I.
a y C s,” replied the fisherman: “ but not
from the big fish, though the one as come
at us was a solaker —l put him at seven or
eight pounds.”
“ Where was it ?”
“There, in the corner; Le come out of
the foam, and took us in the wambling—
but the hooks drew.”
“Then the fish are on the feed ?”
“Yes; the sun has draw’d the baits up
close to the weir, and the fish are come up
alter ’em. That great fish druv the baits
right out of the water but now, at the far
side there, just by that shrimple.”
1 showed him my bait fish. “ Where
did you get that ?” said he; and who put
it on?”
“Did you not see the man in black who
was talking to me 1”
“No : 1 sid no man in black. I sid a
great dark-looking heron fly away just be
yond them osiers, and 1 wondered how he
come to let you he so nigh him ; you must
ha’ bin werry quiet.”
1 began to climb to the top of the weir
beam. “Is it any use to try again think
you ?”
i “ It's a werry odd bait as ever I see,” re
sponded the fisherman; “ but it's werry
bright, and you may as well try the weir
over with it.”
I stood on the weir-beam.
Now, no one who has not walked the
Thames, weirs can tell what a task it is to
walk them, till practice has made it easy.
’ Weir is one that affords as steady
footing as any; but to stand on that nar
row beam for the first time, whilst the ear
is stunned by the roar of the fall, and the
eye reels as it is dazzled with the raging
white water of the boiling pool, fifteen feet
below, demands good nerves. To fish in
such a position requires strong ones.
My bait was, at one time, spinning far
down in the pool thirty yards off—and at
I another, as I shortened my line, —which
then lay at my feet on the beam or lntng
10@!Iiaii© 9 171110.1 ©&3!B1?So
down from it—and reversed my rod, it was
glittering close beneath me in the foam on
the apron. Suddenly I lost sightof it, and,
at the same instant, there was a snatch that
I felt to my spinal chord. I had him! 1
raised my rod in the twinkling of an eye,
gave him the butt, and up he sprang in
the broad sun-light, showing a side like a
sow.
“Don’t check him!” cried the fisherman,
in a voice that was heard above the river
thunder. Out ran the line! Who can be
collected at such a moment ? It coiled round
my ancle, and down I went headlong into
the mad water below.
Strange as it may appear, my principal
anxiety, as 1 struck out into the pool to
avoid being sucked back under the apron,
was to secure the fish, which I felt was
still fast. This embarrassed me, and not
withstanding my efforts, I was drawn back
into the weltering waves under the weir.
I looked round, —and there I beheld that
dreadful face glaring ghastly at me through
the smooth glassy sheet of the falling wa
ter ; and I felt the long deadly arms drag
ging me, foot foremost, under the apron.
In the delirium of despair I cried out, —“ You
said I should land the fish.” “I said,”
shouted the horror, “that the fish should
be landed, and that I would see you in the
churchyard;” and he mercilessly pulled
me under.
“Lord! Lord! methought what pain it
was to drown.” The long, cruel arms
kept dragging me deeper and deeper. The
brightness became less and less. My ago
ny was inexpressible. Then came dark
ness, —the blackness of darkness. Sud
denly my sensations were even pleasant,
and I fancied that I was in a delicious
meadow.
A fearful change succeeded. I found
myself in a well-known burial vault, —
“Girt by parent, brother, friend.
Long .since number'd with the dead.”
And there was that grim feature still claim
ing me, and the long lean arms were stretch
ed out to grapple me, and the grasp enter
ed into my soul. I turned to make one
desperate effort at escape, and, opening my
eyes, I found myself still stretched on
the dry boards. My companion was
shaking me by the shoulder, and inquiring,
with something like reproach, if I thought
that was the way to get the great fish into
the well ?— Broderip.

LYONS IN FRANCE.
Lyons is the centre of the great silk man
ufacturing region of Franee. It has a pop
ulation of nearly 200,000,swarming through
the lofty irregular houses which crowd and
darken the narrow, crooked and filthy
streets.
The silk manufacture was begun there
in 1450. There are no large buildings:
like cotton factories, where the work is
carried on —everything is done in private
houses. The proprietor gives out the
work, all prepared for weaving, and it is
brought home to him when it is finished.
A draughtsman, usually a minor partner,
is constantly employed in getting up new
patterns and it is the special business of an
other artiste to lay in the piece. There are
in operation, in and about Lyons, not less
than thirty one or two thousand silk looms,
or about one to every six or eight of the
population. The houses in which the
work is carried on, are dark, close, and
filthy—the living is of the poorest kind,
and the whole weaving population is
wretchedly depraved, both physically and
morally. Os the men who are of a proper
; nge for military service, at least one-half
j are exempted by weakness, disease or de
j fortuity, and the females can boast no su
periority whatever over the men.
As one winds his way along the streets,
i lie looks in through the open windows
upon pieces of glossy silk in the loom, ol
[ bright, gay colors, and he sees leaning over
, the beautiful web, and plying the shuttle
amidst the delicate threads, some gaunt and
haggard form, whose sunken eye glares
mechanically upon the growing robe of
, some proud dutchess, and whose long, lank
fingers go thoughtlessly to their places, as
the quick click of the shuttle gives notice
]of its movement across the piece. For a
1 lew sous a day, weary and hungry, and
! sick, these wretched beings toil on for the
: decoration of those who can scarcely be
lieve that there is such a thing as misery in
the world.
A RELIC OF FEUDALISM.
The prejudice against the mechanical
trades is a relic of feudalism unworthy of
our free country. Considered with refer
ence to those old feudal prejudices, all the
pursuits by which bread is earned in our
country are equally base. Considered in
the light of republican philosophy, they are
all equally honorable. The liaron of the
middle ages, who could not read or write,
looked down upon the merchant, the me
chanic, and the lawyer with equal con
tempt ; and the baron of modern days, who
cannot even wield the lance, considers him
self superior to the greatest, wisest, and
best of those who were born commoners.
These old feudal prejudices are ridiculous.
But when we call one profsesion respecta
ble, and another less respectable, do we not
adopt them? When we talk of degrading
ourselves by making tradesmen of our
sons, do we not give sanction to the stupid
and exploded notions of the dark ages ?
’ When we admit that any citizen may lose \
ro.ste by associating with any other honest
and honorable man, do we not submit to a
barbarism worse than Gothic —the barbar
ism of Hidostan and China?
Such notions should be laid aside with
‘ other useless lumber, as unfit for an age .
and a country where common sense gives )
| law to society, and where real merit stamps j
’ the seal of respectability. It is but fight- j
; ing shadows to offer arguments in opposi- j
i tiou to such views.

EDUCATE THE MOTHERS.
j Napoleon asked Madame Cam pan what
was necessary for the people of France?
j “Educate the mothers,” said the estimable
! lady. You are right, said Napoleon, and
’ he proceeded to state that the most impor
tant and valuable elements of his charac
ter were derived from the affectionate and
careful nurture of his mother.
This anecdote was called to mind, by
observing that the great Reformer, Trav
eller, Statesman and Poet, Lamartine is
about to publish a sort of psychological
autobiography. In some preliminary re
marks upon this matter, he passes a high
encomium upon his mother, as having im
planted in his heart the love of the beauti
ful, and true, so that he is able to reject
from bis experience in life all that does
not contribute to his happiness.
These observations of two of the great
est men of modern times, made in Franee,
find confirmation the world over! And if
in France such a statement is found to be
just, how much more should we feel it to
be so in this country, founded by the staid
and religious Hollanders and Puritans ?
Lord Brougham judges that the most im
portant impressions, produced for life upon
the character, are made before the infant
attains the age of six years. Few are
aware of the manner in which early seeds
are sown into the tender soil of the human
mind, nor how long they lie buried before
germinating and springing up into growth
and maturity. Often after long years have
elapsed, and men in the hurry and bustle
of ambition, seem to have forgotten the
earlier scenes and affections of life, the
hour of reflection arrives; the beautiful
visions of peace and innocence are re-trac
ed, as with a magic pencil. A mother’s
prayers come again to the ear; her lessons
are fresh in the heart, and the worldling
and the sinner are reformed by a mother’s
influence.
Asa people, we are so inclined to rest
less impulses and excitements, that it re
quires all the aids of religion, domestic
love, and careful moral training, to keep
our people steadfast to duty, trust and hap
piness. In the wild fever for gold which
is sweejiing this country of its youth, who
can think that the unhallowed excitement
would have thus prevailed, if the mothers
had been educated, and the sons had been
directed by their affectionate care? But,
for a time—and a time only, we trust—the
merchantile spirit prevails in this country
over every other feeling, Religion, Love.
Affection are sacrificed to Mammon. Fam
ily ties and attachments yield to the arro
gance of wealth and station. But we
i hope a better day is coming. May heav
! en speed it; and, while we are improving
| the methods of educating the men, let us
I not be neglectful of the daughters and
mothers.
LEARNING NOT EDUCATION.
“ There is a great mistake about what is
called education. Some suppose a learned
man is an educated man. No such thing.
That man is educated who knows himself,
and who takes accurate “ common-sense
views of men and things around him.—
Some very learned men are the greatest
fools in the world : the reason is, that they
are not educated men. Learning is only
the means, not the end ; its value consists
of giving the means of acquiring, in disci
pline which, when properly managed, it
gives the mind. Some of the greatest men
in the world were not overstocked with
learning, but their actions proved that they
were thoroughly edficated. Washington,
Franklin, Sherman, were of this class;
and similar, though less striking instances,
may be found in all countries. To be ed
ucated, a man must learn to think, reason,
compare, and decide accurately, lie may
study metaphysics till he is gray, and lan
guages till he is a walking polyglott. and
if he is nothing more, he is an uneducated
man. There is no class in the country
who have a stronger interest in the educa
tion of their children than farmers; and
the subject should receive from them the
attention it deserves.”
SHOULD STUDY BE CONFINED TO
ONE SUBJECT ?
’ In a series of lectures on the study of
• German Literature, delivered at Manches
ter by Mr. George Dawson of Birmingham,
the following remarks (quoted from the
Manchester Examiner's report) are made.
I “ Sometimes you heard men warning peo
j pie against a dissipation of study, against
studying too many things, and exhorting
1 them to confine their attention to one
thing. Now, up to a certain time, he con
-1 sidered that this was bad advice. He did
I not think that this should be the founda
| tion of culture to those to whom literature
! was a secondary thing They should in
early life gather in a variety of know
-1 ledge, form, as it were, a good weft
—and then inweave the particular—
-1 study which after-life required should be
the pattern on the cloth. For a literary
man, he need not say how necessary total
culture was. He had before protested
against fractional studies, as contradistin
guished from a subdivision of labour in j
teaching. To exhort people to cultivate ]
one branch of knowledge to the exclusion ,
of everything else, was like urging one
man to direct his efforts solely to the
strengthening of his right arm, another of
his left, a third of his feet, and so on.
One man reccommended you to cultivate
the exact sciences only, and hence society
had been supplied with men who were
mathematicians only—men whose gospel
was a right angle, and whose religion was
a circle. In other cases, inen had become
so engrossed with a particular study, that
they would spend an enormous amount of
time in settling the quantity of a Greek syl
lable, and write most elabo rate treatises on
the Greek diagamma. A fully-cultured
man could turn his attention to the division
of labour which stern necessity imposed
upon him. Sometimes, however, natural
propensity would come in to check this.
Nevertheless, we should all aim at what
the Germans called ‘ many-sidedness ; so
that, whichever way we turned, there
might be a polished side presented.”
THE TRUE ARISTOCRATS.
BY C. I). STUART.
Who Brc the noble? of the earth—
The true Aristocrats.—
Who need not how their heads to Lords,
Nor doff to Kings their hats 1
Whogire they, but the Men of Toil,
The mighty and the free,
Whose hearts and hands subdue the earth
And compass all the sea!
Who are they, but the Men of Toil
Who cleave the forest down,
And plant amid the wilderness
The hamlet and the town 1
Who fight the battles, bear the scars,
And give the world its crown
Os name, and fame, ami history,
And pomp of old renown !
Those claim no gaud of heraldry,
And scorn the knighting rod ,
Their coats of arms are noble deeds;
Their peerage is from God!
They take not from ancestral graves
The glory of their name,
But win, as erst their fathers won,
The laurel wreath of Fame

But in these sharp extremities of fortune,
The blessings which the weak and poor cau

Hare their own season. ’Tis a little thing
To give a cup of water; yet its draught

May give a shock of pleasure to the frame
More exquisite than when ncctarian juice
Renews the life of joy in happiest hours.
Noon Talfourd.
How often in the evening twilight,
at the rising of the moon, at the earliest
day-dawn, how often in the stillness of
midnight, and in that other repose of noon
so oppressive, so disquieting, so devouring,
have I felt my heart precipitate itself to
ward an unknown object: towards a hap
piness without shape, without name, with
out end, which is in heaven, in the atmos
phere, everywhere, like an invisible mag
net—like love ! ah, ’ tis Love.
“ Nothing lovelier can bo found
In woman than to study household good,
And good works in her husband promote. 1 ’
m- “ n ow, then, Thomas, what are
you burning on my writing-table there ?”
“Only the paper what’s written all over,
sir; I aint touched the clean.”
A young lady, being addressed by
a gentleman much older than herself, ob
served to him, the only objection she had
to a union with him, was the probability
of his dying before her, and leaving her to
feel the sorrows of wido\#iood.
To which he made the following ingen
ious and complimentary reply :
“Blessed is the man that hath a virtuous
wife, for the number of his days shall be
doubled.”
J6@“ A clear unblemished character com
prehends not only the integrity that will
not offer, but the spirit that will not sub
mit to an injury: and whether it belongs
to an individual or a community, it is the
foundation of peace, of independance, and
of safety! Private credit is wealth, pub
lic honour is security, the feather that
adorns the royal bird supports its flight;
strip him of his plumage and you fix him
to earth.— Junius.
J6®“ A short time since, in Hartfordshire,
England, were written on a grave rail these
lines:—
“ Remember me ns you pass by,
As you are now, so once was I;
Therefore prepare to follow me.”
Underneath someone wrote:—
“ To follow you I’m not content,
Unless I know which way you went.”

use of slang words and phrases both in 1
speaking and writing.

of its contents, second to none. Its field will bo

Especial attention will be paid to the subject of
SCHOLASTIC AND DOMESTIC EDUCATION.

the best sources, will be published weekly, on
