"You shall have another goldeye into the bargain six goldeyes for the five shillings and a whole catfish for the box and snuff voila!" The poor Switzer still hesitated. "It is a great deal to give for so little," he said. "That may be true," said the other, "but I would not see my family starve for the satisfaction of carrying a snuff-box and five shillings in my pocket."

Berries from the vines, butter in the crust, crame you have to bate to make it smooth talk about shortcake!" "What's wrong wi' cherry cobbler?" asked Dannie. "Or blackberry pie?" "Or greens cooked wi' bacon?" "Or chicken pie?" "Or catfish, rolled in cornmeal and fried in ham fat?" "Or guineas stewed in cream, with hard-boiled eggs in the gravy?" "Oh, stop!" cried the delighted Mary.

He sold the negro, first and last, for nearly two thousand dollars, and then put him for ever out of the reach of all pursuers; and they can never graze him unless they can find the negro; and that they cannot do, for his carcass has fed many a tortoise and catfish before this time, and the frogs have sung this many a long day to the silent repose of his skeleton.

One day the man put his wife in a basswood canoe, and started to take her across the river. He hadn't got a rod from the shore when the old he catfish ups and bites the canoe in two, then nips the man's hand so's he didn't git over it for months, and then puts his nose under the woman's arm, and helps her ashore as polite as you please."

However salutary, the catfish is far from popular among the placid residents of the tank, and it is fortunate that neither in tanks nor streets can the advisability of catfish or change be submitted to the referendum of the inert. In neither case would the necessary steps for advance in health and activity be adopted. To be sure, it is just possible to overdo the number of catfish in one tank.

The barrelful of salted pike and catfish was all gone too, which made the fact that fish were not biting well this year very sad indeed. Now on top of all these troubles this new danger of being turned out on the roadside! For where are they to get four dollars, or two, or one even, to stave Conolly off?

He abused me a little for being so slow; but I told him I fell in the river, and that was what made me so long. I knowed he would see I was wet, and then he would be asking questions. We got five catfish off the lines and went home.

Stuckup, great tall stork of a woman, that lords it over a man as though she was a goddess. Wears diamonds in the middle of the day, I suppose, and cold-blooded as as a fish." "She ought to have married me, according to your opinion of me. You said I was a fish," remarked the Young Doctor, with a laugh. "The whale and the catfish!" "Heavens, what spite!" he rejoined.

Any small live creature will answer for bait; even mice have been used with good effect, and cheese, if it can be kept on the hook, is eagerly swallowed, in bottom fishing, by carp and catfish. When I was a boy we used to string our catches, through the gills, on a cut switch, but if it can be had, a fish basket is better. should be considered.

If anything was naturally lacking for the wants of man in a land abounding in wild fruits, "herds of deer, elk, buffalo, and bear," and flocks of "turkeys, geese, ducks, swans, teal, pheasants, partridges, etc.,... in greater plenty than the tame poultry are in any part of the old settlements of America," and in rivers "stored with fish, especially catfish, the largest, and of a delicious flavor," which "weighs from thirty to eighty pounds," it could be easily supplied by art.
