134 THROWING UNDER BUSHES. 



impetus to the fly, release it from your fingers, 

 and cast forwards to the spot intended. Very 

 much, with industry, is to be achieved by this 

 manoeuvre. Understanding, then, these principles, 

 practice and industry in the art, must do the 

 remainder. I can say no more upon this subject, 

 save that you should never forget to calculate 

 upon the effect the wind may have, in trying 

 these experiments among trees, and if it be ad- 

 verse, the attempt had better be abandoned. I 

 shall conclude my observations on throwing the 

 fly among trees, with the advice, always to be 

 bold, bearing in mind, that 



" Preferment seldom graceth bashfulness." 



But " the lights of the chamber burn low." 



" The silent hours steal on, 

 And flaky darkness breaks within the East." 



As we must be up with the lark — and as I have 

 troubled you already enough with this dry subject, 

 — and have still too much to teach, to crowd it into 

 this night's colloquy ; let us now say good night, 

 and go to dream 'of the morrow's hopes and fears, 



" Pack night, peep day ; good day, of night now borrow. 

 Short night, to-night; and length thyself to-morrow." 



Remember six.
