RETROSPECTIVE
BY THE GLADE BARD.
There are scenes in our life, that will ne’er wear
Bright moments, that never will know of decay;
Though age may set marks of decline on the brow,
The visions of youth will remain frosh as now. —
And light with bright memories our steps to the
And lastly attend us to our spiritual home.
How dearly fond memory clings to the dead,
like jewels, the scenes that are fled !
Though years have elapsed, and sad changes have
come,
Still we see in Respective the scenes of by-gone
The brook that meandered, with joy down the glen,
The deep shady wood, and the dark turbid fen,
The meadow wherein the frog struck up the choir,
And the snipe in harmonious notes tuned her lyre:
The fields and the groves where we sported in youth,
Return to our memories, with visions of truth ;
The dark shady glens, and the bright, sunny hills,
The moss covered dingles, and sparkling rills,
The uplands of green, where the May-berries grew,
And gayly wo sported when life's scenes wero new,
Again light our memories, like bright fairy dreams.
Refreshing our visions with past —though loved
scones.
’Tis a sweet soothing balm to the soul, to look
• through,—
The shades of tho past, and behold life anew ;
To view it again, as in brighA-days of yore,
When the earth appeared decked with bright carpets
And our spirits were joyous, and free as the air,
And our light, fairy feet, gayly danced without
And freely we laughed in the freshness of youth,
And grew happy for aye, in tho season of truth.
Thus often we muse on the cherished by-gone,
As it looms on our memory, like a bright fairy song,
Recalling afresh all youth's happiest scenes,
And lighting the soul with its sunniest gleams.
How delightful to see in Respective once more,
All tho bright, happy visions that buoyed us before ;
And to throw o’er life’s pathway a hallowed gleam,
That fore’er will remain like a fanciful dream ;
And point to the spirit, when life’s cares are o’er—
A home of pure peace, on eternity’s shore !
New Providence, 1857.
Hog-Hunting in Western India.
It seems to be a disputed point with the
sportsmen in India which is the more ex
citing, fox-lmnting or hog-hunting. The
two sports, however, will not bear compar
ison—they are not the same thing ; though
in one particular they are certainly alike,
and that is, the sportsmen are mounted ;
but there the similarity ends, and you
might as well compare grouse-shooting
with deer-stalking, or snipe-shooting with
bear-shooting, as to draw any other com
parison between fox-hunting and hog
hunting.
Whenever three or four regiments are
posted in a country in which hogs are con
stantly found, within sixteen miles of a
camp, either a station-hunt exists, with a
secretary who manages all the details of it,
and Shikarries (men who mark down and
report the game) attached; or, if there is
no station-hunt, some half-dozen sporting
men keep separate Shikarries, each of
whom brings to his master intelligence of
there being hogs in a particular locality y
and in this latter case, before the news can
become generally known, the sportsman,
and a few of his friends, keeping the infor
mation to themselves, hasten to the spot
and kill the hog.
Where there is a station-hunt, the coun
try is not disturbed to the same extent. —
No one goes out on his separate account.
The hunt meets at no particular time, but
is regularly summoned by the secretary,
whenever there is a prospect of one or two
days’ sport, and such as can go and like to
go, generally do so. If there is a proba
bility of sport lasting beyond one day, it
becomes necessary to send out a messman
and his cooks, and a mess-tent. The mem
bers of the hunt send out their own sleep
ing-tents, and carry with them every pos
sible convenience. Nothing can be more
picturesque than these little encampments.
The hunt-shikarree, who has brought the
news of game being in the neighborhood,
is told by the secretary that the hunt meet I
there at some particular hour,'perhaps the
next day, to breakfast; and he is desired
to have the hog marked down, and to sum
mon one hundred, or one hundred and
fifty, or two hundred beaters from the dif
ferent villages in the neighborhood, by
eight in the morning at the meet. Now
begins a scene of bustle in the camp.—
Carts, oxen, village tattoos, (small Dekkan
ponies,) are called into requisition to con
vey “kit” to the ground. Farriers are ac
tively employed examining the hunters’
feet. Spear-heads are examined and
sharpened, and then carefully covered with
leather, and given to the “ Ghorawallas ”
(the grooms or horsekeepers) to take with
them ; and presently the hunters are seen
coming out of the different stables, each
led by a Ghorawalla, who carries the horse’s
kit and his own, tied up into a bundle, on
his back, and also his master’s spear; and
sometimes the wife of the Ghorawalla is
seen in company, all moving in the direc
tion of the morrow’s meet.
Early the next morning, sportsmen,
equipped in all sorts of ways—some moun
ted on hired ponies, and some on their own
—may be seen riding to the meet to be
there at breakfast hour, punctually eight
o’clock. On reaching the ground, a very
pretty little camp may be seen. Planted
generally in front of the secretary’s tent is
a staff, with the flag of the hunt flying,—
My memory vividly calls to mind a blue
hoar villainously painted on a white ground,
with three or four spears sticking in him.
The camp is always pitched near a village,
and not far from water, and, if possible,
under trees.'
As soon as the party arrive on the
ground, the first question asked is, whether
the Shikarries have come in with intelli
gence of hog marked down'? If not, each
man walks on to look at his own, and then
his neighbors’ horses. Each gives his
orders for the day, and breakfast is lustily
demanded. As eight o’clock approaches,
men become impatient for news from the
Shikarries, and some begin to prophesy
that there will be no sport. At last two
men, like the beaters, with dirty white tur
bans, a dirty cloth round their waist, and
loose cumless thrown over their backs, are
seen coming at a trot towards the little
-camp from the right quarter. Their
presence is duly announced by the servants,
and they come to the door of the mess-tent
to report the result of the morning’s work.
It may be that a solitary boar has been
marked down in a particular ravine four
miles off, and that in another ravine about
three miles off from that, there is a sounder
of five hog—a boar, a large sow, and three
“ squeakers.”
Thereupon the sportsnieu proceed silently
by a by-path, and are' conducted by the
Shikarree or one of hU people to the top
of the hill. Arrived at the summit, and ;
keeping well back on the table-land, which
generally tops the Deccan-hills, they dis
mount from their hacks, and after examin-
ing their hunters’ shoes, and satisfying
themselves that the girths are secure, the
curb as it should be, and the stirrups the
proper length, each man fixes himself in
the saddle, and taking the spear from, the
Ghorawalla, awaits with a feverish anxiety
the coming event.
There are three important personages
connected with the expedition who have
not yet been named. The first is a cooley,
(one of the villagers,) who is carrying on
his head a goodly basket filled with cold
meat, fowl, tongue, potatoes, hard-boiled
eggs, bread, biscuits, plates, knives, and
forks. Another has a similar basket with
bottles of pale-ale, claret, sherry, soda
water, and water, all packed up in wetted
straw, and he generally has orders to dip
the basket bodily, from time to time, in
any pool of water he comes'across, to keep
its contents cool.
All being arranged, the signal is given,
and presently a low murmuring of men’s
voices and distant shouts come up the ra
vine to the spot where the huntsmen are
placed. The beaters are slowly advancing
in line through the jungle with which the
ravine is clothed, now and then shouting,
now groaning, now beating the bushes with
their sticks. The shouts now become more
distinctly heard ; the voice of the Shikar,-
ree calling to them to preserve the line
can be distinctly made out. Sometimes,
if the ravine is a very large one, or the
jungle is very thick, but generally only
on these occasions, a few matchlockmen
are amongst the beaters, and a shot or two
is heard at intervals. Sometimes, also,
village tom-toms arc used. But these are
extreme resources, not, in my opinion, to
be recklessly used, for they are often in
jurious ; and the hog, instinctively appre
hending danger ahead, either lies quiet or
breaks through the beaters. Presently the
comparatively quiet ravine ringd" from one
end to the other with every uncouth, un
earthly noise that can be imagined. Every
man at the top of his voice is indulging in
the most frantic shouts —the line of beat
ers is broken —the whole ravine is alive.
The hogs are seen, and are afoot, and are
running up the hill or along the side. The
sportsmen ride to the front —“There they
are 1 They are coming this way ! There
is a deuced fine boar amongst them ! Keep
back, youngster, for God’s sake 1” The
hogs now, seeing their danger, break up ;
some dive down a little and are turned
again, but in an incredily short space of time
every hog has got his point where he can
get out of the ravine with the least danger,
and puzzle his pursuers. It is perfectly
marvellous, but every sportsman knows
the fact, how quickly hogs suddenly roused
from their quiet bed under a bush, taken
up for the day after moving about and
feeding all night,, and with no height from
the ground to command an extensive view,
perceive with perfect accuracy their real
points of safety. They are never confused,
but exhibit a decision and resources that
would be invaluable to a military comman
der ; and then, if they must fight, they
they will do so, and most gallantly. “Af
ter the boar, after the boar!” shouted the
leader; and away the party of sportsmen
set off, riding in every direction in which
there is a chance of getting a spear.
The hogs, when once started, generally
riin up to the table-land above the ravine,
cross over to the other side, descend and
run along the side; and as they come to a
spur, they turn it by mounting again, cross
ing over and descending into the next ra
vine. If they are not much pressed they
will take the most difficult ground. It is
an axiom with the most determined Dec
can hunters, that where a hog will go a
horse can-follow. I confess I cannot sub
scribe to that axiom. However, in riding
hog in the Deccan llills you must get on
good terms with them as soon as possible,
and give them no opportunity of choosing
their then keep to a track
along the side,. They are very soon lost;
and being, unless very grey, the same color
as the masses of rock lying about, if they
squat, suddenly unperceived under a bush,
they are lost for the time, and th’ey steal
away when all is quiet, and perhaps are
caught sight of down in the plain, making
off to an opposite range of the hills.
But the boar is going his best along the
side of the ravine, near the top. Some am
bitious young fellows are trying to ride him
along the path he has taken. The old
hands see that it wont do, and remain on
the top, riding well in the rear, to coax
him np the hill on to the table land. He
is now approaching the spur of the hill ;
he makes a dash up, crosses the point, and
descends into the next ravine. The party
on the top cram at him, but are too late.
Now, then, he is hotly pursued. Some go
down to him so that he mounts the hill
again. There the sight of the enemies
again drives him back, and down he goes
as if for the plain. All know that he will
come up the hill again as soon as he can ;
but all go down after him,some riding above
him,some in his track,some underneath him.
He is pressed so hard he dare not mount
the hill again. He comes to a nullha
leading into the plain : down he drops into
it, and runs along the bed. Some are in
the nulla ; some are along the sidesj the
hill is deserted. The nullah takes a turn
and throws the sportsmen out. The hog
is lost for a moment, and is presently seen,
legging it with all his might back to the
hill again. lie is too blown to mount it,
bnt skirts the foot of it. Now you see one
or two well-known sportsmen gradually
but certainly closing with him. One is 'in
advance, ridmg a little to the left of the
hog, so as to bring his right hand well in
to play. The small eyes of the unclean ani
mal have a vicious brightness, his bristles
are erected, his tusks displayed, and his
head slightly turned so as to command the
horseman who is close on his left quarter.
Immediately in the rear, of the hog, and
on the right hand of the man in advance,
but half a length behind him, another hun
ter is in vain doing all he can to get the
spear of honor. He lengthens his spear
lance, holding it by the extreme end, with
his arm extended between the horse’s ears.

spear!” 1 ricua'rd mcGrann, Sr.,
The hog pow generally brings up, and Sso™ 1 '
turns and faces his foes, and as the sports
men come up, charges them one after an
other, until he sinks beneath a .multitude
of wounds.
In Bengal the hogs are very fierce. A
Bengal boar rarely runs far without turn
ing and showing fight. In Western India
a hog rarely fights until he has been speared.
Sugar-eane hog, however, are an exception ;
they are frequently very fat and cannot
run.
I believe in Bengal they at one time threw j
the spear, but now they use a short, sharp j
spear, about six feet long, loaded at the |
end, and job the hog as they come along- !
side, or as he charges them. In Grujerat, :
the Bombay sportsman used, at one time, j
to throw the spear, and some old hands j
consider that the sport lost half its charm [
when this practice went out ; but, unless ;
hogs are very plentiful, you would run a
great risk of losing your game if you had
to dismount to pick up your spear every
time you delivered it, and the hog did not
carry it away, to say nothing of the cer
tainty of blunting it. This practice has
now given way to a light-made bamboo j
spear, about nine feet long, with a small
laurel-shaped blade. The. spear should be
as sharp as possible, for, although it goes .
in imperceptibly .when you are pursuing a
hog, it is a very different thing when he
charges you. It won’t go in then unless
sharp. The Bombay sportsmen carry the
spear lightly in the hand, and either thrust
with' it, or holding it in the direction of the
hog, ride into him.
After a long run, or when a hog is closely
pressed, he very often turns off at a sharp
angle, and with wonderful rapidity ; and
the turns a hog then takes very often throw
out the man who has had the lay in,
and has done all the hard work. When
two men are riding for the spear, and one
evidently must have it, if the hog does not
turn, the other generally remains a length
behind, looking out for the turns which
frequently bring him in, to lose the spear
again perhaps by the same process of the
hog. Generally in approaching a hog, you
keep him well on your right hand, to
get up alongside of him. I confess I used
humbly to think that keeping directly in
his wake, if any body was near you, was
preferable, as your horse following the hog
was more likely to turn as he turned, and
the hog, with you behind him, is bothered
which way to turn. However,.by being on
the one side of him you sometimes tempt
him to charge you and thus get the spear.
