" All pleasures but the angler's bring 

 I' the tail repentance, like a sting. 

 Then on the banks let me sit down, 

 Free from the toilsome sword and gown ; 

 And pity those that do affect 

 To conquer nations and protect. 

 My rod affords such true content, 

 Delights so sweet and innocent, 

 As seldom fall unto the lot 

 Of sceptres, though they're justly got." 



THOS. WEAVER, M r - OF ARTS. 



'ONDAY, August nth, was not an 

 uninteresting day for us. In the 

 morning I walked down to the water 

 with the major ; he piscatorially 

 equipped; I with my walking-stick.
