St Nicholas [serial] . lake within:ake the fish feels secure from all enemies, and?y quietly keeps house until the eggs are laid,ten it becomes restless, and leaves the house asmrsery for successors, while it roams about againwill. THE FISH THAT WENT ASHORE. >EAR Jack : Here are some verses that I send as an awful warn-to vengeance-Lakers, if you allow any such small fry to enter yourle.—Yours heartily, Joel Stacv. Dne day the fish were so enraged At the boys who came to swim,They vowd they d catch the first who plunged, And make quick work with him. They wriggled and they writhed, poor things ! They cried aloud with pain ;—And to the cool refreshing tide They never went again. The farmer stared and laughed, Ha! ha! The children fairly roared;They caught the fish, and had that night A feast fit for a lord. Now here s the moral of my tale—And, prythee, well construe it: Wheneer you try to vengeance take,Be sure that you can do it; Or, like the fish who went ashore,You very soon will rue it. i S*.
