THE ANGLERS SOUVENIR. 



As lie loiters slowly homeward through the 

 glamour of the twilight he meets the clergyman 

 of the parish, a man who is himself an angler, 

 and is fond of doing a good deed in a quiet way. 

 He asks the cobbler a few questions about his 

 sport, and then insists upon buying the pike and 

 a brace of the biggest perch of him for 5s. ; so the 

 cobbler goes home with a light heart, and a present 

 which will appease his wife. 



We confess to having very great sympathies with 

 the rustic angler and his class, and we have drawn 

 his portrait lovingly. Let the rich see this moral : 

 don't, by over-preserving, close your rivers to tho 

 poor fellow, and so deprive him of his pleasure, 

 and, what is of more importance, so valuable an 

 aid to his moral well-being.
