TIE DENL FISHING.


The devil sat by the river side
The stream Of Time whore you always ind
him,
Casting his line in the rushing tide.
And laying his nah on the bank behind him.
He sat at ease in his cosy nook,
And was filling his basket very fast;
While you might have seen that his deadly
hook
Was differently baitsd for every cast.
He caught 'sn fast - . man could count.
Little or big-'twas all the same;
One bait was check for . large amount
A congressman nabbed it-and out he came
He took a gem that as Saturn shone.
It sank in the water without q sound;
A woman caught it who long was known.
AS the best and purest for miles around.
Sometimes he'd laugh, and sometimes sing.
For better luck no one could wish;
And he seemed to know to dead sure thing,
The bait best suited to every fish.
Quoth Satan 1.-THE fishing Is rare and inner
And he took drink, somewhat enthused;
But now parson SWAN around the line,
Who cen the most tempting bats refused.
He baited with gold and flashing gems,
he hung fame and and fortune on the line,
And dresssing-gown with embroidered hem
But still the dominic made no sign.
A woman's garter went on the hook.
1T have him at last" Quoththe devil, bright
- ming;
Then satan's sides with laughter shook,
And he landed the preacher quicker thai
lightning.
