Such a wand waves with peculiar potency in this our good city of Edinburgh. How often, when shrouded in one of those dense columns of sand that would do credit to the interior of Africa, have we ventured, with some confidence, to open our eyes, as we instinctively knew ourselves to be immediately under the window of a fishing-tackle shop-and felt, as we passed below the dangling wooden salmon, as if a shower of pellucid water were besprinkling all our dusty being. How finely and gracefully those two rods, from Mackenzie's and Maclean's, on opposite sides of the North Bridge, cut the horizon, as you advance from the Register-office to the Tron-church! They are far more effective than any mere living trees; and indeed, we have often thought it one of the many oversights of painters, that, in their pictures of town scenery, they have, as far as we recollect, never introduced those potent rods that taper away into the clear blue sky, bent down, as it were, with the weight of so many rural associations.

land. Much pleasure and much pain is now enjoyed and suffered there. The expert and skilful angler is, even now that the pen is in our hand (oh! that it were exchanged for a fifteen feet rod), gently and slowly laying on some green bank of the Tweed, a four-pounder" trout glittering with all his beautiful dieswhile many hopeless aspirants are flogging the water in vain, have dropped their hook, like an anchor, beneath some unlucky stone, or fastened the end of their line, like the towing rope of an overloaded canal boat, on some immoveable and inexorable tree.

Miss Joanna Baillie, we think it is who says, "I've seen a child On the edge of a clear stream, hold out His rod and baitless line from morn till noon, Eyeing the spotted trout that past his share A thousand times hath glided; till, by force, His angry dame hath dragg'd him from his station;

Hope is of such a tough continuous nature.”

Many a full grown man is, at this season of the year, equally illustrative of the same principle of human life. We all know, or ought to know, the story of the "glorious nibble," and never do we feel so tempted to moralize as when, at the close of day, we meet at Clovenford or Inverleithen

those inimitable fishing stations on the Tweed-some grave, self-satisfied, elderly gentleman, who, to the question of what sport?" answers by lifting up the lid of his pannier, and exhibiting, with a silent look of conscious dexterity, a brace of small trouts
