A FISH Sroay.-The following stovy, In
teresting to the lovers of eel pie, is from the
Boston Morning POST
The late M. Gri=>le.-A very worthy
fisherman by the name of Grizzle was drown
ed some time since, and all search for his
body proved unavailng. After it had been
in the water some months, however, it was
discovered floating upon the surface, and ta-
ken to the shore, whereupon Mr. Smith was
| despatched to convey the Intelligence to the
afflicted widow.
Mr. Smith-Well, Mrs Gfizzle, we have
found Mr. Grizzlies body.
Mrs Grizzle-You don't say so!
MIR S.-Yes we have-the jury has sot on
| ii, and found it full Of eels?

Mr. S.-Nhy, about a bushel.
Mrs G.-NelI, then, think you had bet
ter send the eels up to the house and set him

upon us. How does he know that they will
be bettered by the change! There is GER
tainty of getting ,ea,ns wife. We sleep
comfortably enough if we sleep alone. There
is no such botheration with us as married men
have-such as your wife bawling out in the
middle Of the night when you enjoying a
sweet dream.
'sJohn! take away your elbow!!''
"James lie further on the other side
You'll have me out of bed"
sJoseph you've kicked the kiver OFF,
Henry! get up you lazy dog, it's day break
''Richard turn out and put on the tea ket-

! Nothing of this kind ever troubles us.
There we lie in little cot, (Which is just
| large enough for one,) with its clean white
sheets spread over our person, tucked COM

On the contrary, we stretch our weary
