THE OLD CANOE.


Where the rocks arc gray and the shore /,
steep,
and the winters below look dark and deep.
where the rugged pine, in its lonely pride
Leans glooraily over the murky tide
where the reeds and rushes are long and
lank,
And the weeds grow thick on the winding
bank;
Where the shadow is heavy tho whole day
through,
There lies at its mooring the old canoe.
The useless paddles areidly dropped.
Like sea-bird's wings that the storm ha,

BY the dripping bow of the old canoe.

would swallow two pounds nine ounces Of

the stomach Of ono Of the cells. Mr..
Smith was cutting up the fish when his
knife encountered something hard, and
on opening the stomach nc found n large
iron bolt, which had evidently been part

The bolt is about a foot long, aud at
the end is a large ring, two inches aud
half or three inches in diameter.
The bolt itself is as thick Gs an ordin-

The eel weighed about two stone and
was yard and a half long. His swallow
