HOW VERY SAD? 



FRED F. FRENCH. 



Oh ! anguish deep, that man must go 

 With rod and reel, a gun or so, 

 To where the birds and fishes dwell, 

 And leave one there, the tale to tell. 



The harrowing, thought can not find words 

 To ease the heart, where countless birds 

 Before his gun have paid life's debt, 

 That there remains another yet. 



That of each precious kind and breed, 

 A single one is left for seed; 

 And in the depths of his despair 

 He seeks the cool and mountain air, 



Where lie the fat and gamy trout, 

 And straightway starts to jerk them out; 

 'Till hundreds strew the mossy shore, 

 And in the stream are -left no more, 



To ease his heavy aching breast, 

 And he must stop awhile and rest. 

 "Oh ! why should nature seem to be 

 Thus heaping up my misery? 



"My time's my own, and I could fish 

 From morn 'till night, did I but wish; 

 I'll have a lumber wagon brought 

 To gather in the lot I've caught. 



"And since I'm treated thus, so mean, 

 I'll not again be heard or seen 

 In shady wood, or trout stream's bed, 

 'Till hours have passed above my head."

Rifle Telescopes. 



The Duplex Telescope Sight is made and sold by 

 LAWSON C. CUMMINS, at Montpelier, Vt. The 

 best quality of achromatic lenses that can be produced 

 are in it. The tube is of thick steel and browned as 

 well as any other rifle work, bore three-fourths of an 

 inch, and length from twelve to twenty-six inches. 

 Each hanging is milled from one block of steel. The 

 sighting point in the hunting model is indestructible, 

 being of metal, and is perfectly safe to trust for a 

 hunting trip in any exposure. No other telescope 

 sight has ever equaled this in durability, or in the 

 practical application of directing rifle shots. It is 

 made in one grade only, sold at one price, and with a 

 single profit. Send for the "Red Catalogue."
