ANGLING.

ANIMALS.

I shall stay him no longer than to wish

that it he be an honest angler, the east wind may never blow when he goes a tishiug. WALTON— The Complete Angler.

The Author's Preface. Thus use your frog: put your hook, I mean the arming wire, through his mouth, and out at his gills, and then with a tine needle and silk sew tho upper part of his leg with only one stitch to the arming wire of your hook, or tie the

frog's leg above the upper joint to the armed wire ; and in so doing use him as though you loved him. b. WALTON—The Complete Angler. Pt. I.

Ch. V. We may say of angling as Dr. Boteler said of strawberries : “Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did;" and so, if I might be judge, God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent re. creation than angling. WALTON— The Complete Angler. Pt. I.

The conscious utterance of thought by speech or action, to any end, is art. 1. EMERSON – Society and Solitude. Art.

The power depends on the depth of the artist's insight of that object he contemplates. g. EMERSON-Essay on Art.

The perfection of an art consists in the employment of a comprehensive system of laws, commensurate to every purpose within its scope, but concealed from the eye of the spectator; and in the production of effects that seem to flow forth spontaneously, as though uncontrolled by their influence, and which are equally excellent, whether regarded individually, or in reference to the proposed result. h Good- The Book of Nature. Series I.

Lecture IX. There are two kinds of artists in this world; those that work because the spirit is in them, and they cannot be silent if they would, and those that speak from a conscientious desire to make apparent to others the beauty that has awakened their own admiration. i.
