The Brook aad the Fish

Long years ago a little fish
Ran away from a mountain lake,
And a S he ran a little brook
With him did the journey make;
They travelled on till they came to a
Where fisherman cast his hook
I'm afraid he will catch me-" cried the
fish,
AS he huddlcd close to the brook.
II will take you into this cave" said
the brook,
II never have dared explore
That YOU may escape the deadly hook
OF the fisherman on the shore"
And just as they reached the depths OF
the cave
Where the fish was safe and free
The little brook found what he Ions
had sought
An opening into the sea.
And so it is in our lives each day,
The help that we pass along
Docs often make our own cross light,
And turns our grief to song.

We didn't see the recipe for pre-
serving husbands mentioned, but the
following, from the Holmes Bay cor
respondent of the Machias Union
Republican is worth passing along:
In exchange for Tibbettstown re-
cipe for preserving a husband l will
give one for preserving a wife. Sc
lect one that is rather plump and
thick meated, With a tinge of pink
just under the skin. which goes to
show that they are anywhere from
IS to 80 years of age and just right
for preserving, after this age they
are apt to be found shriveled and
sour and quickly decay. They
should be preserved in pure honey
with "a generous quantity of spice of
life, and milk of human kindness.
