The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1878-09-07

Snake stories have been in vogue for
sometime past, but here is fish story
which surpasses them all 1.-The sweetest
little fish story of the season is told by
Frank Abbott, of Burlington, Iowa. At
Clear Lake dwells little girl who takes a
ride every day in a small skiff drawn by two
pickerel. They are regularly harnessed,
and by means of lines she is enabled to
guide them in any direction. The fish
are abou three feet in length, weigh be-
tween seven and eight pounds each, and
are very powerful When the girl has
tired of riding she drives the pickerel to a
boat-house, where they are embarrassed,
taken into commodious glass aquarium
made expressly for them, and fed When
she goes to the tank to harness them for
a ride, the piekerel jump almost into her
arms, so glad, apparently, are they to see
her, The young miss has been offered
$1,000 for her team"

II PR.1 Y ron YOU"

The future may be dreary,
And bring me toll and pain;
My heart may oft be weary,
My cup no sweet sustain,
But when the darkest hours appear
My heart will turn to thee,
And cast away its doubt aHG fear,
For you will pray for me!
The friends love may leave me,
Be called away by death;
Or even may deceive me
Prove false as fleeing breath;
But you will never wound my heart,
Meyer prove untrue,
For ever to my memory start
The worus, / pray TO. YOU
My life may have IFS pleasures,
Its bright and happy hour,
When earth will bring her treasures
And strew my path with flowers;
But nothing can ;nch joy afford
AS once my spirit kew,
When sitting by your side ! heard
Those words, i pray tor you.
Oh, may those prayers attend me
Through every scene Of ltc.
From evil to defend me-
To be my s i,ld in lite
And when the lifelong fight is Ger
Tn imprisoned spirit free.
Upon that bright celestial shore
Nay you still pray for me.
