correct, we think as much exaggerated,
If not more so, as TO the dlscomfoTts Of
a trip OF this kind than any letters we
have written touching its enjoy ments.
That the life is a rough one, and would
suit none but men infatuated with what
they term the sport of fishing, here is
no doubt. No one could read my let

would fail 10 offer attractions 10 fastid.

him TO young Harral's house with a
note Of apology and basket OF fruit.
The peace offering was not received in

TuE value OF A TEADE.-The old
st1ry Of the uncertainty Of riches and the
importance of learning trade is brought
to mind by the following, which appear
ed in a recent number Of the New York
Lcdger; Karl Frostern, the old nail
maker of Lubon, in Silosia, was a jolly,

and whose busy hammer made merry
music.

wealthy land owner, whose only son,
