Tho torms of his cartel his God has ar.

Mid scenes of his boyhood his fancy last

Ere the Sorrows of life and its cares were

HOW A TROUT TAKES A Fly.
Instances Where the Trout Did Turn the

Mr.. f. French, an angler, as noted for
his modesty as for his skill, writes as
follows to the Buffalo Express regarding
the habits of the trout:
"Amost any trout fisherman knows
that the habits of the trout vary almost
as much AS do the habits of those who
fish for them, and this, too, in waters
