History of Fishing.

Fishing was a far earlier mode of support
ing human life than agriculture However
far back in the stream of terrestrial events
we may suppose it allowable to date mans
appearance on the scene still he must have
been preceded by fish, The rivers, lakes and
seas when he first looked upon them must
have been pcopled very much as they lat
this day. There was as great variety of spe-
cies, and probably much the same infnitude of
individuals in some of these species. And,
as n savage population must be always
sparse, and in any locality few in number,
their supply of food from this source could
only have been limited by their inability to
capture it. What the wild game of the forest
and of the open plains, were to the inland
hunting tribes, the fish of the fresh and of the
salt water were to the riverne and the mari
line tribes. Between these early days and
the first beginnings Of agriculture vast peri
DDS of time must have elapsed. First, because
in these, and more or lcss in all ATTITUDES,
nature offered to man no plant that in its I'M
improved state was worth cultivating. The
suitable form had to be evolved by long pro-
cesses of observation. This is why we know
nothing of the parentage Of wheat, barley,
oats, rye, beans or maize and why the tropi-
cal bread fruit, plantain, banana and sugar
cane have lost the power of producing seed,
and so of reproducing themselves. This must
ave Deen result OF long ages OF human Sc
lection. Nothing of the kind had to be done
for fish. There it was as fit for human food on
the first day that man stood on the river bank
or the seashore as it is at this day. Agrcul-
ture also required implements to clear and
stir the ground, and TO gather in the crops
with, and these implements we know were
the result of a long series of discoveries, i'm.
provements and advances. Primcval man,
therefore, as we now read his history, could
| not have lived by or known anything of ag-
riculture. Nor could he have lived by wild
fruits, for they are not continuous through
out the year. They have their season, and
that brief one. He must then have lived by
hunting and fishing, and, of the two, fishing
would be the most continuous and unfailng
throughout the changing seasons, the most
valuable of all qualities for those ill-supplied
times. 1t would not be more difficult to
hook, and spear, and net, and trap fish, and
TO gather mousks from the rocks and sand
banks, than to trap or pierce with arrows
wild game Our immediate comparison,
however, is with agriculture; and we may be
sure that not in it were the foundations of
society laid, but in hunting and fishing, and
| That of these two, as the great carnivors at
first had possession of the forest and plain
against intruding man, fishing was the main
primeval occupation and means of subsst-
ence

In Charity's Name.

BY PETER CoUsLAND.
A poor little girl in tattered gown,
Wand ring alone through the crowded town,
All weary and worn on the curb sat down
by the side of the way to rest;
Bedimmrd with tears were her eyes of brown,
Her HANDS on her bosom pressed.
The night was approaching and winters chill
blast
That fell on the child as it hurried past,
CONCEALED the tears that were falling fast
From the poor little maidens eyes;
The binding snow on her pale cheeks cast.
tnheeding her plaintive cries.
Now, hurriedly passing along the street,
she catches the sound of approaching feet,
And YEARLY rises as If to entreat
Some aid from the passer-by;
But slowly and sadly resumes her seat.
Repelled by the glance of his eye.
He saw the wild tempest resistlessly hurl
The gathering snOwtlakes, with many whirl,
Upon her bare head, whore each soft shining cur
Was swept by the breath of the storm;
But what did he care for the little girl,
His raiment was ample and warm.
He went to charity meeting that night
And spoke, to the listeners great delight,
OF how twas the duty of all to unite
The suffering poor to relieve;
And held up his check for q thousand at sight,
SO all OF the crowd could perceive.
He handed the check to the treasurer when
The audience applauded again and again,
But the Angel who holds the recording pen
.., rms sentence; methinks, did record:
HE doeth his aims to be seen of men,
Their praise is his only reward"
The papers next morning had much to say
" how the good gentleman" did display
HIS generous spirit, in giving away
So much to the poor mans cause.
He nleu as he read his own praise that day,
And thought of the nights applause.
Near by, the same paper went on to repeat

With only the snow as a winding sheet,
Frozen to death on the ground.
