Lady Anglers. Plutarch informs us that no less cele brated a lady than Cleopatra was a votary of the'angle and that she and Anthony spent no incousiderablo portion of their time in fishing matches. So keen at last did their rivalry become that recourse was had to artifice in order to Insure victory, at least by the mean spirited Antony. Vexed at the superiority of the Queen in the art, he instructed divers to take live fish and place them on his hook. They effected this so cleverly that lie pulled up fish after flsli, and completely turned the tables on mistress. She i)reten(led to congratulate his him on his good fortune and to admire his dexterity ; but., by some means, had gained knowledge of the trick lie had practised and determined to have her revenge. Another match was arranged, and in presence of a large company of friends specially invited to witness It the fishing commeneed. Antony soon had a bite, struck, and pulled up ia large salted fish, to his great disgust and the intense amusement of all present. The murder was out ; Antony's trick Was exploded; for on this occasion a (liver, specially instructed by the Queen, had anticipated the one employed by Antony, and had fixed the salt fish on his hook. lit though England cannot claim the first lady angler, it can claim a lady as the author of the first book ever printed on angling: for within the years of Caxton issuing from his press at Westminister the "Dietos and Sayingesof the Philosophers," in 1477 Wynken de Worde published the famous "Books of St. Alban's," wherein )amie Juliana Berners, the good and ac complished Prioress of Sopwell, discourses on "the dysplorte of tysslyng." She Wias probs o'y i hily angler herself, as t lie very full inlm "uctions she gives in reference to the art. indicate that she must have had practiel experience of it ; but, however this may be, she strongly commends the )a5 tuime "to all that be virtuouls, gentle and freeborn.'' That angling was a pursuit fo lowed by ladies after her tine, and yet a considerable number of years ago, may be gathered from a book on fishing published in 1676, under the title or tle "Act e - pllishied .Lady'"s D)elighit." Elmhund Wial Ier, file most charming song writer inl Ilie Eng lish language, and forever to be remem bered as the author of the ode, "On a1 Lady's Girdle," and himself, as Izaak Walton tells us, ''a lover of the rii le," sang in praise of Idy aiglers two centuries ago. But whether lady anglers in past time1s were few or many, skillful or uinskill ful, eathuIsiatst ic or tle contry, Certain it is that now they muster strongly. AMany of them are very succesul performers, and the majority as keei sportswomen ias can well be itmagined ; indeed, when a lady takes thoroughly to angling she gren erally becoimies as ardently devoted to it 11 th nmost ivet.orate Waltonian of the other sex. Lady salmon fishers are now to lo fotid on uuost of the English, Scotch and Irish salmon rivers, lochs and lakes, and Norway is visited by them; while in Amer ica they whip freely tile well stocked waters of various ilstrits. Our trout strealims inl all directiolns receive their atten - tion ; they try conelusions with the teinants of the pike preserves, and the humbler denizens of our fresh waters have to sue cumb to their ski11( and perseverine. True that lady anglers have dilliculties to (onl tend with which men make but light (of, but these are overcolm by Various devices, or lessened by their having soie one of tle other sex in attendance upon1 mlicil. Salmon fisahing is very hard work with tile heavy double-hianded rois generally ised, blut for ladies lighter ones are specially made, ami the weekly records of good il taken in various waters showv that with such tackle they get (quite their shaure.

A farmer may supply himself with an out lit of such tools and impleneits as are necessary to carry on his farm nid gar den, but to keep them in his possession and in good order 18 not so easy. 01e comes to borrow a hoe, rake, or spade. for use in his garden ; another wants to borrow a saddle to ride a low miles, another a log chain, swingletrece, mat tock, etc., until half the things Oin the place are lent out, and when wanted for use must either be sent for or the owner do without until it suIts the con venience of tile borrower to return them. But the evil does not stop here. Not unfrequently the i)borrowed article comes home broken, and, if of Iron or stool, always rusty ordull, even if, after having kept it so long, the borrower does not actually clath; it as his own. That neighbors can accommodate each orber, and Ith mutual advantage, there is 1no doubt, provided the practice Is Ioperly conducted-there then be ing, ats old Griishaw would say.
