A SYLVAN INCIDENT.

It was, then, on a most lovely afternoon, towards the
end of July, when the bucks were getting into very good
condition, that, with the John Manton rifle in hand, I
sauntered slowly from the woodman's cottage in Ilolmsly
enclosure, in a direction leading down to the brook at
Osman's Ford, or Oamanly Ford, as it is sometimes called,
near which now stands the llolmsly station on the South-
ampton and Ringwood line of railway. I had taken time
by the forelock, in order that I might watch any veerings
in the summer air, and change my place to some other
likely spot for a buck if the wind suited not my first-
selected position ; but I gave the preference to the alder
swamp on the brook that limited a little open lawn lying
between it and the adjoining enclosure, because I had been
long aware that there occasionally fed a very good deer.
That he, with the usual instinctive caution of a fat buck,
would not show himself till it was nearly dark, I very well
knew; so I sauntered along down the swamp and the little
murmuring brook, whose very small trout were rising and
the minnowbood frisking about at play, to select some good
ambush whence I could watch the lawn without being my.
self observed.

Before the mania for draining had affected the wits of
people in charge of the Crown lands, the little brook was
essentially a forest-brook, meandering now here, now there,
breaking into little rippling shallows over pebbly beds, or
sleeping in deeper holes where grew the water-lily. Through
beds of golden bog-myrtle it sometimes glided noiselessly
along, and at others smoothly flowed by willows and alder
trees. By the brink of a shallow, then, at last, I halted ;
for on the other side of the stream there was a fine old
alder stump, of very good breadth, high up from the marshy
land on which it stood, from whose pollard top yet branched
strong arms of luxurious vegetation. This alder stood the
king of a host of others that, broke and bent, grew around
it, their boughs entwined with the wild honeysuckle and
rose, making in all a most sweet cover, over which the
height of the larger tree gave me just room and space enough
to command the length and breadth of the lawn,

Previous to climbing to this most eligible position, I drew
from a little pocket a few light downy feathers from
the breast of a duck I had wrapped in paper, and cast one
of them into the hot, stagnant air, in crder to ascertain the
quarter of the wind. There was seArce enough to indicate
the direction, but what little there was showed that it came
from a south-westerly direction—the very quarter I desired.
This grand point ascertained, I climbed up early to my syl-
van throne, in order that the scent of my steps might not
affect the wary herd, and the rising dew assist to drown the
dreaded prognostication of danger.
Talk of the happiness of a king"—figurative method of
speech as that is—no happiness on earth could surpass
mine, and none that was shared in by more than two in
the palaces, castles, and mansions of the world could corns
near it. I was the monarch of all I surveyed, from the
straight hunting-horn stuck in my belt to call my man
and the woodmen from the cottage if I killed a deer, to the
rifle and the wild surrounding forest. The music in the air
appeared to have been made expressly for my enjoyment.
The goat-suoker purred his adulations,the yellow-hammer
sounded his long, low, sweet evening song from a gorse
bush, and tho white-throat chided and warbled from the
tall, high reeds.
It was too early yet for the expected busk to make his
appearance,so I occasionally directed my eyes to the rising
trout in the stream below me, or to the chubby head of a
water rat which, beaver fashion, cut down green flags, and
fed on the juicy end of them.
It was getting late, the sun was below tho westward
trees, and the sky above showing the crimson blush of the
descending planet, when, at some distance above me on the
stream, my ear caught the cry of a startled blackbird. It
was followed by no " twit—twit," denouncing the presence
of some predatory animal, but was simply the cry of the
bird ►hen either a man or some large animal comes sud-
denly upon it, and makes it start from the glowed to wing.
It was quite enough to invite further attention, for either
there was a human being there or thereabouts, to render
my further vigil for a deer abortive—or there was some
large animal other than a fox, otter, stoat, weasel, or cat,
that had ecared the blackbird; and it might bo the very
deer I was in quest of.

For a time all remained still, when suddenly I thought
my oar detected the slightest occasional splash of water. It
certainly was not that of the graceful little goldfinch which
I had previously seen making his evening ablution on the
margin of a shallow close to me, and peering from side to
side in his crimson cap, as if self-satisfied with his appear-
ance in the watery mirror. The goldfinch and all little
birds were gone to bed, the earliest bat was flitting about,
and the splash of the water was not like that of a wild
duck, which perhaps it might be. No—it was not a
wild duck, for, glancing my eye to the surface of the
quick stream, I saw borne towards me on its bosom the
blossoms of the wild rose, so there was something in the
brook taller than a duck, probably the velveted antlers of
the deer, which, shaken at the annoying flies, had brushed
away the bloom that now passed beneath the tree whereon
I was.

In another moment there were steps in the water : that

perfectly certain; and the next turn in the brooch
the higher alders, must place the buck or doe, 'Oa
it was, within 30 yards of my rifle, now cocked, u 39
on its light trigger, and the sight directed on their;
where perhaps the goodly buck in one moment more
stand confessed. id
None but those as much attached to woodcraft as

will understand the thrill at my heart which came
heard the close approaching steps in the water, oceeeos
stopping and again coming on, and then beheld the
ing wave on the surface of the brook come circling r°A
the corner, wide of the moving thing that caused it to
and then die away. A ttl
It is in sight I—a white and beautiful hand to" 9$
)
picking water-weeds or flawers, and then a lovelYth
with fair, luxuriant hair ; and then, there, on the Pe
shallow stream, the water reaching not to her kneee,:ol
a chaining girl, of about, or rather under sixteen Yep
age.
I feared to stir in my umbrageous screen 1;1)06
should alarm her, or so force myself on her nefiee,:4l
ll
she did not desire to be seen; so, at the moment, I t'"
it better to let her piss by me, intent as she was 11P°,130
water, well knowing that but a very little lower de",,
stream the shallows would cease, and she must
dry land and end her botanical occupation, for elle Li
her hand a book, between the rough leaves of which 01
her put several specimens of aqueous plants, as we •op'
occasional bit of fern. Therefore without interne
let her proceed in her occupation.
An accident, however, soon brought me to her aidt)
when she was within ton yards of the old tree fa! 001
was hidden, she uttered a sudden shriek of pain, 5111 A;
her white feet seemed to be held by what I at first e'y
to be the thorn of a bramble. She slightly pulled at
ever it was that held her, but the obstacle to her Pra
held fast, and in another instant I could see what lee;ot
be a string or piece of line extending from the baler
the water and to her foot, and then again to the °Pid
bank, so that mid-stream she was detained. Giletlot
what had happened, and not to startle her too enec'd
abrupt descent, I exclaimed from amidst inY be
" Please do not attempt to move, and do not be fright
I will come and assist you." ley
Down to the water dropped the delicate gargtell-ty
the more delicate limbs at the sound of my voice; 1)1101
fore she could reply, my rifle rested on the brao°ll
was in the water with her. Finding that she had °I,
the sole of one of her pretty feet on a small hook °e'ijsl
set across the brook for the little trout, with the 1111/101
knife at my waist I cut the string, and taking her uP $
arms, while she steadied herself with one hand 11110
neck, 1 bore her to the shore and tip to the drier
where I seated her on the grass.
She looked truly beautiful! Kneeling down. 101
wounded foot in the gentlest way, I begged her 01,11
afraid, but to let me look at it. She leant on her eilial°s
I said this, knowing that she was unable to walk ;
tisfied that I was a gentleman, she permitted me tel-f
graceful instep in my hand, and, with the sharp
ay
my penknife, with scarcely any pain to her, I confls
extract the hook, which was fixed firmly in the slut'
set her once more free.
She then undid a little bundle she had con
attach to her waist, that held her shoes and ete'nl,o
and while she put them on, I went back to the bre; f#
found the book she had in her hand, and which Ilfe'reii
on the bank as I carried her from the water. On Ifihers
she had adjusted her dress, which, however, abolit4o
was very wet, and she was standing up and blUsilw
parently about to ask a favour. be VI,
Addressing me, then, by name, for it seemed she
me by sight, she told me that she had some cellifif
and a carriage not far off, and that she wasp erfec.h'",lo
and could find them very soon. The one request
to make was, that I would not accompany her bit'
friends, nor tell anybody what had happened. „
I promised this, and faithfully kept my word 'o.otO
succeeding years, till she had become the mistress e 0
actions, and had been placed far from me. Givirig.edi
hand, as might have been expected, I saluted it; P-00
walked away, as she alone could walk, and the irisl/
cover soon shut her out from further observation. 00
the first hour of my acquaintance with her, and frune#4
time to this we have maintained a friendship tlitte-pf
time, distance, nor human ingenuity, has had "
to destroy. , FA
When she went away, daylight seemed to he
with her, for then the sky lost all its roseate colottr'oo
moon and stars came out, and a most lovely nig/I"twiti°,l
It was too late for me to seek another deer, and rie".oo',l
to infringe any injunction the young lady had gal rlt,i
I took a circuitous way by which to reach the Wdrift;
cottage, where I had left my pony and her Bail all d
when, as I proceeded down the woodland ride, iligedo

glow-worms showed their tiny lamps. ee

Altogether the work, as a whole—is -e

its loose and scrambling character as as well
graphy—is something unquestionably of a
reto°
o
achievement. And it is so, it' for no Otilfieforl
than this, that, while dealing with xlk
thorough worldlings, it is, in the geneW
so singularly refreshing and exhilirating.
