A COCKNEYS GOOSE.

teosT a collection of anecdo'es of sport ivt sporting lately published by an English jportinji jourtial occurs the following! Musing story:—There are a good many tilcanljoiit ilie exploits iA cockney sports men, while Mi1 Winkle's efforts in gunnery invest all time.* afforded much amusement toreaderfc of Chronicles of the I'ickwlok Club These, as a rule, are tales of sports men who, when loading, put the charge <•{ lend in first, or who whon they had managed to lift) all right, could not hit a haystack ; in fact, vreie much more dangerous to thoir friowls than to the birds they had conic out to slaughter.

A few Raaonsago, onr hero, after having, with n congenial trieiVcl* spent the day out on the moors with Jogs and guns, was homewards found, when, in-tho evening twilight, tho WCk of a goose peering through a fence was descried. '• Flush !'• whispered the dead «, na he quietly drew his gnn up to tako Jim. "See if [ don't hit him at the w« of the eye," and l.hen blazed away. '.jnat the de.vil are you shooting at?" «someone behind them. " I'll be dashed [' Jon haven't been and blown one of tho janHles off my new plough •" And so ho M. safe ohough ; bat the worst of it was "isnever heard the last of that feat, and tho Bmplequestion, "If he hit many birda at roc back of the oyo now," was sure to evoke irom this sportsman a flow of blasphemy,
