both of Bowes, buried in one grave. He died in a fever,
and upon the tolling of his passing bell she cried out,
' My heart is broke,' and in a few hours expired, purely
through love." Such is the brief, touching record, con-

which requires large numbers both of machines and of
men to supply. Some of the steel-pen manufactories of
Birmingham are very large establishments, containing
ranges of highly-finished machines, and giving employ-
ment to large numbers of workmen. One of these
manufacturers (Gillott), in his advertisements, states his
yearly produce at millions of dozens ; and there is no

A construction of this kind at the corner leys, takinging many a splendid trout, but for days together
in Fulham-road, failed on Sunday last,
not raising one under three-quarters of a pound. Where

a few hours after the larger fish have passed, one or two

not satisfied with trout fishing for that season, you had
best change your quarters : in summer, journeying down
the river ; in autumn, higher up the course of the waters.
For though here and there a stray giant may still be
taken, the little fishes know full well that the main body
of the big bullies has passed ; and they, therefore, give
themselves great airs, playing the most extravagant
pranks, and swaggering about in pools and dark mysteri-
ous eddies, where no little fish should ever be seen—
monsters of impertinence.—Remember, then, when fish-
ing in Norway, that in whatever deep and rapid stream
you raise many small trout, no large fish in healthy,
feeding condition, is at that time to be found. This is
not the case, however, with regard to grayling. At least
