Catch In# Salmon In Scotland.
form i.n apprcxunaU* estimate of
the snuii i .a burst d by t he rent era o i
n litiiaugs lfe a difficult matter,
but, leaving* out the money paid for
salmon fishing included in a shooting
rent, the money paid for salmon fishing,
together with the incidental expenses
Incurred, may be put down at £30,000,
not one penny of which would Scotland
see if there were no salmon fishing. I
have arrived at this sum in a rounda
bout sort of way, but believe it is under
the mark. Thus, when I first began to
fish on my own account in the early
60*s, 1 could rent a month on a fairly
good stretch of water for from £40 to
£ 60, the services of a gillie being usual
ly included in the rent. For that outlay
I used to average as nearly as possible
a fish for every sovereign; my worst
Inonth, which cost £45, was 16fish; my
best SS for£35, and both of them were
on the Dee. About 1SG7 the rents began
to rise and fish were costing me quite 1
five shillings each, which speedily w; :u ■
to five pounds a head, until, from 1S70 j
up to the present, angling rents have
increased by leaps and bounds, forcing j
me to retire—for as anglers became, j
more plentiful good angling became :
scarcer, and nowadays it may be reck*
Oned that fish cost the catcher quite j
£10 each.—Chambers’ Journal.
THE ROADS TO WRINKLE TOWN, j
Have you ever heard of the many roads
Tn&t lead to Wr*iik»e Town?
Or talked with the people w’ho every day
Travel them up or Uown?
There are numberless roads and wiae folks
tell
Of some, nor glad nor fair,
Like wearisome paths to the mountain top—
Storm-blighted, cold and bare.
Nowv some of these roads are winding, ’tis
said,
Some broad, like great highways;
While others are steep and abruptly end
Like showers on April days;
And jouraeying over these desert tracks
Throng thousands old and young.
The lowly of earth, the wealthy, the great,
Are found the crowds among.
*
Name anger and scoffing and cruel hate,
Name haughty, boastful pride,
And count the self-seeking and eager greed
Of avarice, beside;
Then reckon the malice and envy and fret,
That linger through the days—
And you will know how to reach Wrinkle
Town,
For these are constant ways.
* - But why should we follow these roads so
drear
^ That lead where sadness broods,
When others are open whose ends invite
To gladsome, happy moods?
Now ponder this truth—be the willing steps
However cast or led—
The face will discover and show their
trend—
Reflect the paths we tread.
—Irvin C. Lambert, in N. W. Christian Ad*
