The Fishing Season.

We hear through the San Francisco papers OF
frequent fishing parties to Saucelito, just over
the bay Delicious strings of beautiful speckled
trout are obtained, with hook and line. from the
small streams of that region running into the
bay. Reading of these parties, We are reminded
of the excursions we used to take tor we were
there during two three years Of our lifc,O along
tho far-windiug delightful little brooks of New
England, abounding with this same species of
silver and golden spotted trout. We remember
/ to what an intcrminablc length through broad
meadows, little patches of forests, in which the
partridge hummed with eery dronc,' and rock
Eencirclcd hills. we traced them, wandering scarce
ly conscious of the gradually increasing distance,
until the evening sun found us many miles from
the place of our abode. How blue were the little
placid pools. into whose silent depths we dropt
the loaded line How refreshing the breath Of
the breeze as it came ripping over the water!-
How We wished in those happy hours that the ac-
ademical vacations could last forever, or that we
had nothing to do but thus to stroll around ut
will, like the sylvan deities of the oldcn time J!
Who, that has ever been in New England, can
forget the picture? None, none--it is II lifelong
remembrance.
We recall too, in our wandcrings through the
mountains of California, though differing in
scenery from the New England hills, many equal
ly as beautiful scenes and enticng to the stray
steps of the angler. We know of many dash
ing, sparkling stream ihVllllN VNci tHc
rocks, or sleeping in the ageworn basins, or
gliding smoothly along in bushing joy under the
sweet kisses of the roses identifying their banks
in whose clear waters not alone tho pretty
spacklcd trout but hosts of others of the Rnny
tribe are wantoning; many grassy -marglned
lakelct rcposing in the laps of the highest noun
tains in whose crystal depths may he seen for the
most part the golden sided perch and wary brown
hucd trout peculiar to the altitude. There are
thousands of such streams and lakcs-just the
place for summer visits for the over heated, bust
ncsS-wearicd dcnizcns Of cities
We should like to pursue this theme, for we
love to revel, even in imagination, in such scenes
but the hurry of the time forbids aud we can
only. in conclusion advise all who bave the time
and means at command, to take trip during tho
summer months aud see them for themselves
Numerous bunting and fishing parties went out
last season, and enjoyed themselves hugely
Many ladies' too, accompanied thcm.-Bee.
