Warner tells, iu the March "Atlantic," a 'simple etory' of trout fishing in the Adirondack. He is verifying this neglected sporiing region in these monthly chronicles, and deals out the facts with most un scrupulous exactness. It is a place where 'previous hunters have pulled all the hair and skin off from the deer's tail.' The undiscovered lakes are packed with enormous trout; the water boils with them. He bearded the monsters in th«ir den, and caught one after a hard fight Only Luke was with him—Mark wasn't wanted to stretch the thrilling tail. No matter about the blaborate rigging and match less bait, the perilous tramp in dan gerous wilds and shooting the rapids, the first blank throws the minute study of all the surroundings—all detailed with artistic fidelity, but only incident al. We strike in at the supreme mo ment when hook and trout conjunct and real fun begins. Tho trout, as soon as he felt the prick of the hook, was off like a shot, and took out the whole of tho line with a rapidity that ruade it smoke. "Give him the butt!' shouted Luke It is the usual remark in such an emergency. I gave him the butt KM! the trout *it once s;ink to the bottom aud sulked. It is the most dangerous uio<xi of a trout, for you cannot tell what he will do next. We reeled up a little and wmted five minutes for bim to reflect. A tightning of the line en raped him and he soon developed his lactic*. Coming to the surface he made straight for the boat, faster than I could reel iu, and evidently with hostile intentions. "Look out for him!" cried Luke, as he came flying in the air. I evaded him by dropping Hat in the boat, aud when 1 picked my traps up he was spinning across the lake as if he had a new idea; but the lino was still fast. I gave him the butt again, a thing he seemed to hate, even as a gift: iu a moment the ovil minded fish, laxhiug the water in his rage, was coming buck again, making straight for the b >at as before. Luke, who was used to these encounters having read of theui in the writings of travelers he ha<l accompanied, raised his puddle in self-defence. The trout left the water about ten feet from the boat and came directly at me, with flashing eyes and his speckled sides flashing like a meteor. I dodged, as he whizzed by with a vic ious slap of his tail, and nearly upset the boat. The lino was of course slack, and the danger was that he would en tangle it about me and carry away a h'g. This was evidently his game. But I untangled it and only 1 jst a breast button or two by the swiftly moving string. The trout plunged into the water with a hissing sound, and went awav again with all the line on the reel. More butt. More indigna tion on the part of the captive. The contest had now been going on for half an hour, and I was getting exhausted. We had been back and forth across the lake and round and round the lake; what I feared was that the trout would start up the inlet and wrtek us in the bushes. Hut he had a new fancy, and began the execution of a manoeuvre which I had never read of. Instead of coming straight toward mc he took a large circle, swimming rapidly and gradually contracting his orbit. 1 reeled iu and kept my eye on him. Round aud round he went narrowing his cir cle. I began to suspect the game, which was to twist my head off. When he had reduced the radius of his circle to about twenty-five feet, he then struck a tremendous pace through the water. It would be false modesty in a sports mau to say that 1 was not equal to the occasion. Instead of turning around with him, as he expected, 1 stepped to tUe bow, braced myself and let the boat swing. Hound went the fish, and round we went like a top. 1 saw a line of Mt. Marcys all round the hori/.ou. The rosy tint in the west made a broad,band of pink nlong the sky above the tree-tops. The evening star was a perfect circle of light, a hoop of gold in the heavens. We whirled and reeled, and reeled and whirled. I was willing to give the ma licious beast butt line and all, if he would only go the other way for a change. When I cams to myself Luke was flatting the trout at the boat side. After we had got him in and dressed him, he weighed three-quarters of a pound. Fish always lose by being "got in and dresaed" It is best to weigh them while they are in the water. The only real large one I ever caught got away with my leader wheu I first struck him. He weighed ten pounds. AN ALLIGATOR'S MEAL —From the Lake City lif}wrter we have the follow | ing: On the .*Jlst ult., while seme of i the hands were going to their work in the Held of Col. McLeod, adjoining town, they discovered a very large alli gator making its way to Hamburg lake. Col. McLeod fired both barrels of a shotgun loaded with buckshot into its neck. Then a field hoe was brought up, but the first blow shivered the stout pine helve. An axe was then brought, with which he was killed. Ac exami nation showed that it had feasted upon a hog's head, a turtle and about a peek <of blackberries Though but fifteen feet in length, it was the largest ever killed in this j art of Florida in the lakes or fresh water streams. Ihe buck shot did not penetrate the skin. No one that we have met ever knew before that ailigators were fond of bl;tckl>fr ries, and how one can manage to pick the berries is still a mystery. TUB idea th'it religion is a kind of slavery to which none can submit I without sacrificing the natural enjoy ments of life, has ever been the great est hinderance to its advancement ; among mankind. llow much wiser and better should we be if we could eairv along with u«, from infancy to old aire, the full conviction that hap piness is the substantial cultivation and excrci«e of the Christian virtues. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON TERRITORY, MONDAY, AUGUST ->G, IS7S. AN UPRIGHT LlFE. —Nothing is more certain than that human conduct produces its effect upon human char acter and determines its future wcel or woe. Virtue and uprightness give the pure heart and clear coucieoce, whose work is an ample reward for effort and «2crifiee. Vice and wrong indvitably leave their marks upon the soul an l tend to misery. Retribution follows as the night and day uf>on human action. Call it heaven and hell, or what you will, confine it to this life or project through all eternity, the one great principle is the same, and it is that which concerns us as hum:in beings. Goodness hath its rewards: sin hath its punishment. THUS bighs the Burlington Hawkeye: " One by one all the comforts of life are taken away from the toiliug millions. It used to be a great conso lation for us to think in our poverty that noue of our rich neighbors could ever go to heaver. Xow, alas! we are assured that there is no place else tor them to go."
