The largest we have lately heard of weighed 19 pounds. It is said to be by far the most powerful of our fresh-water fishes, exceeding the salmon in actual strength, though not in activity. The most general size caught by trolling, ranges from 3 to 15 pounds: beyond that weight they are of uncommon occurrence. If hooked upon tackle of mode method of fishing for them is almost as well adapted for catching sharks as trout; the angler being apparently more anxious to have it in his power to state that he had appear to be almost entirely piscivorous; so, with the exception of night lines, baited also with trout, trolling is the only advisable of angling for them. The young, however, rise very freely at ordinary lake-trout flies, and are generally caught in this way, from one to one and a half pound weight. They occur abundantly near the outlet of the lake.

At these periods, they ceeding 700, the presence or absence of natural swoods, and their greater or less luxuriance, may be taken as a measure of amount of humidity, and of the fertility of the soil. Short and heavy rains in a Waint country will produce grass, which, having its roots near the surface, springs up in a few days, and withers when the moisture is exhausted; but transitory rains, however heavy, will not nourish trees, because after the surface is saturated with water, the rest runs off, and the moisture lodged in the soil neither sinks deep enough, nor is in- sufficient quantity to furnish the giants of the forest with the necessary susterance. It may be assumed that 120 inches of rain falling moderately, or at intervals, Will leave a greater permanent supply in the soil than 40 inches falling, as it sometimes does in the torrid zonie, indències are so far changed, that they will rise eagerly at as many hours. It is only necessary to qualify this conclusion by stating, that something depends on the subsoil. If that is gravel, or a rock full of fissures, the water im bedded will soon drain off; if it is clay or a compact rock, the water will remain in the soil. It must be remembered, also, that both heat and moisture diminish as we ascend in the atmosphere, while evaporation increases; and hence « About the middle of August, and during the three following months, parent fish retire, for the purpose of spawning, to the deep banks of the lake in the neighbourhood of the gorge, and into the gorge of the lake itself, where it empties its immense waters, forming the river Awe. They are said to remain engaged in this operation for two or three months, and at this time their instinctive ten large and gaudily dressed salmon-flies, and may be either angled for from the banks, or trolled with a cross line, where the outlet of the lake is narrow. They do not appear either to ascend the rivers which enter the loch, or to descend the Awe to any extent, though an occasional straggler has been taken some way down the river. Their spawning places are exclusively on the banks, or at the gorge of the loch, and they never attempt to seek the salt water. When in good season, and in their strongest condition, they appear to roam indiscriminately through every part of the loch, though there are certain spots which may be more depended upon than others, and where an experienced angler will have little difficulty in hooking one of these fine fish. To their great strength we may observe that they add unequalled rapacity; and after attaining to the weight of three or four pounds, they appear to feed almost exclusively on smaller fish, and do not spare even their own young. A small trout of this species, not weighing more than 11⁄2 pound, will often dash at a bait not much inferior to itself in size; and instances are recorded of larger fish following with eager eye, and attempting to seize upon others of their own kind after they had been hooked and were in the act of being landed by the angler. It is probably on account of this strong manifestation of a more than usually predaceous habit, that Sir William Jardine has named the species Salmo ferox. legislators, but charmed into tameness by the basilisk glare of their avaricious and worldly eye.

THERE can be little doubt that there is less hard drinking in civilized society now-a-days, than there used to be when I was young. Probably this may be one cause why temperance societies are so popular. The gallows is not a general favourite with thieves; and institutions for the enforcement of sobriety would, we suspect, be looked upon with an unfriendly eye among a nation of decided topers. Some phrenologists have suggested an organ of alimentiveness. If their farther research shall establish the existence of separate organs for the propensities of eating and drinking, (and I see no reason why there should not, since it has been found necessary to supply us with one organ to perceive differences, and another to perceive likenesses,) I will take an even bet that the exponent, or indicative bump, is much larger in the men of the eighteenth than in those of the nineteenth century. Gentle men have positively discovered that it is possible to find one's way to the drawingroom sober. There is something gigantic in the drinking legends of the last century. The story of " The Whistle" is known as far as the name of Burns reaches. But that drinkingbout was a mere trifle, although the genius of the poet has conferred an undue importance upon it. A well-authenticated story still lingers in the memories of the inhabitants of the Glen-kens, of a party of jolly friends who kept together carousing for three days and three nights. At the end of that period one of the party rose, and, notwithstanding the most pressing solicitations of the landlord, bestowed his parting benediction upon the rest, mounted his horse, and rode off. The drink, however, had in some measure dulled his perceptive faculties; for falling from his horse while crossing a brook, he enquired at his servant, with the utmost composure, as soon as he again emerged," John, what was that?" bih It is scarcely fair to tell tales against the fair sex; but since I have begun to celebrate the prowess of our ances. tors, the amazons among them must not go unsung. Mrs -,"the gay gudewife o' Gallowa'," was a lady of good family, but rather masculine propensities. Being left at no very advanced period of life in the happy state of widowhood, she managed her property without the aid of any male assistant, attending the fairs and markets as regularly as any gentleman in the county. One marketday, a couple of young wags, thinking to play a trick upon the widow, invited her to take a glass of wine. The lady birled her bawbee as well as the best of them, and, after aiding, glass for glass, in the discussion of sundry bottles of wine, strutted up the streets with her arms akimbo, as if nothing had happened, leaving one of the gentlemen unable to rise from his chair, and the other with just as much self-command left as enabled him to sidle along the wall, and hold by the lintel of the door, as he gazed after her in stupid amazement. Once, however, she was engaged in a more perilous adventure. She had been visiting some of her gossips, and about nightfall her servant John was dispatched, mounted on a stout black horse, with a pillion behind him, to bring home his mistress. The lady was snugly seated beside a rousing fire, sipping tea, considerably diluted with brandy, and naturally in no hurry to encounter a raw and gusty autumnal evening. John and his steed were accordingly allowed to wait for some time at the door-a weary interval, which the considerate denizens of the kitchen endeavoured to enliven, by administering to him divers cups of potent ale. To make a long tale short, by the time the lady mounted, she and John were both of them well to live. Away they went at a rattling trot, up hill, down dale, and across a ford at the mouth of the Urr, which can only be passed at low water. At last, the horse stopped at the hall-door, and John be gan to bawl most lustily upon the handmaidens to come and assist their mistress to dismount. But the stream of light which issued from the opening door, diffusing itself far down the avenue, and flashing upwards upon the leaves of the embowering trees, fell upon the form of no mistress. Loud was the outcry, and instantly the assembled household was out with lanterns and torches to seek for "the lost one," as a sentimental poet might have termed her. A column of light rose high in the air as the phalanx moved along, and their shouts rose higher, and penetrated farther into the night. Carefully did they scan either side of the road, but no mistress was to be seen. The cold blast hurried by them, bearing on its wings intermittent bursts of rain. The wallowing sough of the rising tide was heard in the pauses of the blast. Dreadful forebodings began to arise in their minds. They were near the ford, and the tide rises upon that coast with a fearful rapidity. Their terror, however, was soon dispelled, for, on reaching the bed of the river, they found the good lady stretched upon her back, the small waves of the swelling water rippling into the corners of her mouth as she turned her face from one side to the other, exclaiming, in a voice of pettish displeasure" Nae mair, nae mair! Neither het nor cauld." A state of society, in which such incidents were of no unfrequent occurrence, could not well be remarkable for its polish. There was, indeed, a coarse tone diffused throughout it. The reader must not, however, fancy that our fathers were without their redeeming qualities: There is something in the mere consciousness of elevated rank, that communicates dignity and urbanity to a man's deportment. Whoever feels himself in a situation which raises him above the crowd into the gaze of the world, involuntarily assumes a prouder bearing and a firmer step. Whoever knows that the person addressing him is conscious of inferiority, seeks to gratify his own self-love, if nothing more, by reassuring timidity by a graceful condescension. If we add to the influence of these circumstances the good practical education in general enjoyed by the Scottish gentry, we can easily conceive that there was much high and gentlemanly feeling to be found amid the better classes in Scotland. When I retrace the adventures of my youth, numerous scenes of the most ludicrous nature recur to me, to which the greater license in drinking gave rise. But in my present mood of mind, two or three spectral reminiscences completely overpower them. I could fancy amid the stillness of the night that the table at which I last sat with M was visibly before me. It was during the races at. A small party stuck to the bottle, after the greater part of the gentlemen who dined with us had adjourned to the ball-room. One by one they dropped off, and it was far in the morning when I found myself alone with M and S We were beginning to feel a degree of stupor creeping over us. The unsnuffed candles spread a dim light through the apartment. My two companions offered a strange contrast. S was a dull, obtuse, good-natured fellow-one whose system converted his drink into a wholesome nutriment, and throve upon it. M was already far gone in a consumption, but habitual dissipation, a naturally high spirit, excited yet more by the unnatural levity of that terrible disease, still goaded him to keep up with the companions of his wild career. He had been married about a year before to a lovely woman, who had already presented him with a boy. S, who, like most men of his calibre, was fond of moralizing over his cups, was reading our friend a lecture on his extravagance.
