RECREATIONS IN NATURAL

HISTORY.

(From Punch.)
Really Lord John has had a narrow escape. He bar
been to the Zoological Gardens, Dublin, and avoided
the trap that was laid for him. A cage was already
prepared. The Premier was to be caught, and exhi-
bited behind some iron bur- However, the conspiracy
was betrayed, as Irish conspiracies invariably are, and
his Lordship escaped being shown at sixpence a-head.
Tho partridges are said, this year, to be very shy
Now, really, sportsmen should recollect that what is
game to us is death to them. We can hardly expel.
the partridges to come and be shot, as if it was a plea ,-
sure for which they were dying. If this were the case,
they would not fail, us well-bred birds, to bring tin
iW
own bread•sauco with them.
Talking of birds, we know of one at Boulogne tb at
is so extremely shy, that nothing will induce him tf
come across the water, unless he sees that the coast ss
perfectly clear. The shyness of this bird is attribute
to 3 deal of shot which, it is said, he has left behind hi 0
in the hands of several persons, IN ho would be too happ
to get a discharge, if they could catch an opportunity ,1
firing into him.
