The Early Prevaricator 
Monroe, Mich., Nov. 22 .—Editor Forest and 
Stream: I am inclosing herein rather an inter¬ 
esting curio which may serve to prove that fish 
“prevaricators” existed at an early day. This 
clipping is from an old copy of the Kingston, 
Ont., Gazette, of the year 1816, nearly a century 
ago. We are having pretty fair fun with the 
canvas backs and mallards up here in the big 
marshes along Lake Erie.

FISHING EXTRAORDINARY. 
Boston, July 5.—As a gentleman was angling 
last Thursday in the Mill Dam, Westchester, he 
accidentally threw his line across a strong white 
Duck, which suddenly turning round, twisted the 
gut about her own neck, and fixed the hook of 
the dropper fly in her own breast. Thus entan¬ 
gled and hooked, she soon broke off the gut 
above the dropper, and sailed down the stream, 
with the end fly trailing behind her. She had not 
proceeded far before a trout, apparently about 
11.2 lb. weight, took the fly effectually. Then 
commenced a struggle the most extraordinary 
that ever was witnessed—a duck at the dropper, 
and a large trout at the end fly. Whenever the 
trout exerted itself, the terrors of the Duck were 
very conspicuous:—it fluttered its wings and 
dragged the fish. In case of no violent struggle 
on the part of the trout, the Duck evidently gave 
way, and suffered herself at last to be drawn 
under some bushes, where the shortness of the 
gut did not allow the trout to shelter himself in 
his retreat, and the duck to remain on the surface 
at the same time. The duck’s head was drawn 
repeatedly under water. By chance, however, the 
gut got across a branch, which hung downwards 
in the water, and the duck taking advantage of 
the purchase which this gave her dragged her 
opponent from his hole, and compelled him to 
show his head above water. Then it became a 
contest of life or death—the trout was in the 
last agonies, and the duck evidently in a very 
weak state, when the gut gave way, and suffered 
them to part, each his own way.

To the Angler Maid 
BY ROBERT PAGE LINCOLN. 
Soul unfathomed and serene! 
Summer sunlight on the green; 
No dismay—the light shines through 
Orient eyes that nameless woo! 
By what gardens in the night, 
Hast thou lingered, still and bright; 
Poised Fate thou warden grim, 
Yield the keys and beckon him! 
And the unlocked door shall ope 
On the treasure and its hope! 
He shall know what lies beyond, 
Touched by Love's enchanted wand. 
And the spark its star-like gleam: 
Shall it grow or shall it dream? 
Robed Syren—name it bliss, 
Languid, thoughful Beatrice! 
Faintly smiling —mellow eyed, 
Searching heaven for its pride— 
Would thy midnight lashes sweep 
Every thought into thy keep. 
Slyly giving look for look, 
Richly whispering human brook; 
Bend, O flower—warm delighted, 
By no sullen winds affrighted! 
And thy petaled charm shall grow 
Spread in glory—softly glow: 
And the springtime shall inure 
Thee with gladness, full and pure. 
Soul enraptured and intense, 
Smouldering wildfire of suspense! 
By one touch of hand or kiss: 
He shall know thee, Beatrice! 
He shall garner Hero’s fate, 
Grecian Helen be his mate— 
Conquer worlds that rule thy heart, 
Turn the chord that is thy part! 
Still inviting, sweet and rare— 
Pleading eyes and midnight hair: 
Blossom folded—shadowed bliss, 
Love unawakened Beatrice! 
From the bamboo’s graceful length 
He will know thy love’s dear strength— 
Dainty bending—charged with ease, 
Learning the great joy to please! 
Where the dazzling meadow brook 
Full of shadow greets thy look— 
Passing lightly-—rod in hand, 
Thine the world and heaven spanned. 
Full of childhood, unalloyed, 
Innocence still undestroyed— 
Treasure hearted—-how I miss 
Thee, my comrade—Beatrice! 
O for summer and thy smile, 
Golden days that know no guile: 
Knows no bitter lack of faith 
Melancholy and its wraith. 
When thy flies fall in the pool 
On the mirrored waters cool— 
I have seen thee wreathed in dreams 
Fair enchantress of those streams. 
Lightly laughing—brim with life 
Scorning worry and its strife— 
When with captured trout thy breast, 
Rising softly tells the rest. 
And I wonder how some day 
Life shall guide thee from thy play: 
And thy begging arms shall net 
Love’s unpiscatorial pet. 
Still inviting, sweet and rare— 
Pleading eyes and midnight hair: 
Blossom folded—shadowed bliss, 
Love unawakened Beatrice!
