The Wild Goose.
tFroia the Matamoras (M.exlco) Daily Randle.]
The first wild geese - passed over yes
terday, announciug that the ice is clos
ing the margins of the northern lakes,
and the white frost -sparkling on their
frozen hills. With us, the arrival of
wild geese is the precursor of winter,
and their departure the harbinger of
spring. Their wild cry reminds one of
the whistling of chilly wind; and their
flocks, like some vast arrow cleaving its
way along the sky, are suggestive of the
Clouds of - winter flying in the van of the
boreal blast. They are not only the
general precursors-of winter, but the
special forerunners of storms; usually
preceding by a few hours the fierce cold
r t
wind called the "no Cher." The breath
of winter which ches this southern
clime is usually no ore than a refresh
ing breath of cold ai which is felt as a
relief from the heat otthe long summer;
but sometimes ice is- formed under the
influence of this piercing wind!
We may therefore look now, for 'the
autumnal winds, which have,
"Howled down from the northern waste,
And stripped the forest in their haste."
Though here they Will. riot strew , the
sear leaves but rustle cooly in the foliage
of the orange and citron. Tired with his
long flight, the bird of passage, alights on
the-sunny shorei of -the Mexican- Gulf,
to sport away what time grim winter
rages on the northern main.
The,wild goose, (why has he not a
more romantic name?) whence comes he?
He abides with Ais only a few short
months, and takes his flight "for parts
unknown;" He chases his shadows over
the vastgreen prairies of Texas, sweeps
like a summer cloud over, the budding
forests of Missouri, races with the cars
howling on'their iron way, his tireless
wing leaves' the panting engines, and
sails over rivers and lakes and forests of
the far north. He passes the frontiers
of civilization, and stops not with•' the
limits of vegetation, but with unflagging
pinion 'fans the cold thin atmosphere,"
over the snowy deserts beyond the, ad
ventures of the fur hunter, and still his
course is north. The frozen seas are,
reached, but still his course is on. The
Arctic explorers at the farthest northern
points yet reached by men, report wild
geese still passing over and going north.
Like the comet whose eccentric orbit
reaches beyond the regular system of
more substantial worlds, to the pathless
heavens, the frontiers of space; so this
wanderer of the upper air in the circle of
his flight, passes out of the realms of the
known. and beyond the paths of men, to
the regions of unknown lands and mys
terious seas.
All other regions have yielded their
secrets to the prying eyes and cruel
strength of science and civilization. The
title, "unexplorpd," which figured on
the maps of former times, has been
erased with rivers and mountains, and
their barbarous names, brought to light
by the courageous curiosity and daring
cupidity of civilized men. The utmost
depths of the sea have been sounded; the
most retiring animals tracked to their
dens in the desert and jungle. Every
other stronghold of mystery has been
carried; but the "icy sphynx of the
north still sits, throned in darkness, on
her frozen hills, turning all to stone who
come to guess her riddle." Beyond
those limits of destroying man,the chief
bird of passage seeks some "lone and
quiet shore," to hatch new broods and
train them for their distant flight.
A few years ago a wild goose was
killed on the coast of Texas, which had
an ivory arrow sticking in its flesh. It
had evidently been wounded by some
archer, and the healing wound retained
the shaft. The arrow was about 18
inches in length, of shining ivory,
pointed with the sharp tooth of some
fish and feathered with the plumage of
the wild. goose. It was well made,'but,
from its form and material,cominc , from
a tribe unknown to us. What a strange
message - from a new world! Like the
carved wood and the bunch of berries,
which floated by the ships of Columbus
mute and unlettered, but speaking vol
umes. This arrow came from a land
where there is no wood, where the use
of metal is unknown, yet where there
are men who make good the battle of
life against foes too formidable for all
the strength and science of civilized
nations.
As these birds are often wounded in
our country and escape, they are doubt
less found with leaden shots and balls in
their bodies, by those dwellers in the
Ultra Arctics. We can imagine how
they wonder at those heavy foreign
substances. How they dispute whether
there are men beyond'the icy barriers of
their unknown country; and whether
those things might not have been made
by them. They doubtless think the
heavy little balls a rude and imperfect
appliance, and long to show us the
splendid contrivance of a whalebone
bow and ivory arrow, which their supe
rior intelligence has perfected. Cannot
the lovers of humanity send some mes
sage to those benighted men! If they
cannot go, could they not bind some
small useful article or some expressive
painting to the pinions of the wild goose
as letters are bound to carrier doves? Or
if they of the Arctics are content in
their ice-girt honie, were it not better to
leave them in ignorance of the great bad
world without; for, "Where ignorance is
bliss, 'tie folly to be wise."
Interesting to Anglers.
All true disciples of Isaac Walton,
says the Cincinnatjf Commercial, are in
vited to asseMble in Frankfort,
Kentucky, on the Bth of January. The
rivers that run from the mountains of
the Cumberland to the valley of the
Ohio, need restocking, and the Legisla
ture is to be memorialized on the sub
iect. If there be an angler among us
who hath heart that does not respond to
this call, he is not a true fisherman. He
may have, in the darkling woods, his
favorite resort, where under thick
awning of leaves, he throws his line to
eager perch and energetic bass; he may
keep it secret, as a miser, his hidden
treasure, and his success may be the
envy of less fortunate anglers; but if he
have not a heart and hand ready to as
sist any enterprise that will make the
eddies and riffles of our creeks and
'rivers as delectable , fishing grounds as
his own, then is he not a lineal descend
ant of the Nestor of all true anglers.
Angling is the most unsatisfactory of
sports,4n the present exhausted condi
-bon of our 'streams. To be tantalized
with the feeble nibble of small-fry, teased
by, thieving minnows, drawn on to wait
and wait for the bite of the solitary bass
or sleepy sucker, whose proportions,
seen through the pellucid waters, fairly
ravish the sight, and create unutterable
longings ;• to watch him • sail uncon
sciously, by the hook t carefully and deic
tfously moved to with= tickling distance
ffi DAILIIEVENTIG BUtLETIN : -PHIL ABEL - 1141A, SATUR nvv.—DECFMPlett 30
of his gills; ; and:finally, when night
"pins up her curtain with a star." to
wind in the frUitless line, and tiudge
wearily home, with a very red face and
a:meagre string; that is the , fate of the
angler in the year, of grace 1865. It is
the purpose of the Frankfort convention
to change all, this, and to make our
streams whatthey were when the red
skin paddled his own canoe in their
bright waters.
Fishing is an expensive luxury; also,
as now managed. Being a rather dull
business, this waiting for "bites," , the
angler goes forth to his sport strangely
accoutred. He taketh his rod and line,
and his box of bait or his minnows, but
he also provideth himself with bunches
of cigars, and tucketh into plentiful
pockets numerous flasks,, aromatic and
fragrant with the volatile spirit of Bour
bon. The angler who does not propi
tiate the water-nymphs with frequent
libations of that nectar which is neither'
Rhine-wine nor rum of Santa Cruz, and
on which the revenue officer keepeth. a
devoted eye, knows little of the plea
sures, while he suffers all the disappoint
ments, of the unsuccessful fisherman.
Ten drinks to one bite is reducing the
angler's experience to mathematical
precision. The angler who goes to
Frankfort on the Bth of January, is ex
pected totake his flask with him. It is
his credential, his passport to the fellow
ship of all good fellows, whose beards
are gray.
There is one feature o Sid ateur angle
to which the Convention should give
the most serious tonsideration. The
anglers, as a class, have obtained an
uneviable reputation for veracity, owing
to the habit certain of them have con
tracted of boasting of the number and
size of the fish they, have caught oft a
given day, at a given place. We have
been invited from time to time to puh
lisla their marvelous statements, but ,our
expansive latitude and longitude of con
science was not equal to the occasion.
The way they have of convincing their
simple-minded wives and credulous
children by producing before their eyes
certain finny evidences of their adroit
ness, smuggled into their beggarly
baskets in the markets, is atrocious.
The Legislature should be memorialized
to pass a law making it a penal offence
for any professional vender of fish to sell
to an amateur fisherman, who bears
indubitable evidence of having been on
an excursion with rod and line.
There is need of repression rather than
expansion in angling. The fishers are
many and the fishes few. This coining
home staggering under a load of fish
caught in a single adventure, as the
amateur is willing to swear, inflames the
ambition of younglings, and encourages
the growth of expectations never to be
realized. It is as pernicious as an undue
inflation of the currency. Let us get
back to a specie basis, and confine the
amateur to the truth.
An amateur's code, prescribing the
seasons and times when he may fish;
the proportion of Bourbon to bites; the
kind and quality of expletives he may
indulge when, expecting a five-pound
bass, he hauls up a crab; the proper
qualifying adjectives he may employ to
express his feelings when the barb sinks
into flesh instead of fish; the quantity
of Bourbon required as medicine to his
wounds; what shall be done with hi.
string when there is nothing on it; the
most successful way of convincing hiz,
friends that he has been prospecting for
oil, when they were waiting for fish;
and various other matters that will sug
gest themselves to the assembled
amateurs, would be in place, and should
be prepared at the coming Convention.
