GREEN MANTLE. 



The wand with which we now desire to charm an en- 

 lightened and discerning public was first waved, some 

 seasons back, in the Encyclopaedia Britannica (article 

 " Angling," Vol. Ill, page 132). We think the butt-end 

 is not much the worse for wear, we have strengthened 

 the mid-pieces, repaired the top, and given the whole a 

 coat of varnish, hoping that in the hands of others, now 

 more fit for the practice of the gentle art than we our- 

 selves, it may prove a steady friend and true, whether in 

 still or troubled waters.
