Mackrel inhabit the sea, but thoze which inhabit the grocerys alwus taste to me az tho they had been born and fatted on salt.
They want a good deal ov freshning before they are eaten, and want a good deal ov freshning afterward.
If I can hav plenty of mackrel for brekfasst i can generally make the other two meals out ov cold water.
Mackrel are considered by menny folks the best fish that swims, and are called “the salt of the earth.”
THE POLLYWOGG.
The pollywogg iz created bi the sides ov the road, out ov thick water, and spends hiz infancy in pollywogging.
After he haz got through pollywogging he makes up hiz mind that this world want made for pollywogs and “nothing venture nothing have,” and then he turns hiz attenshun tew bigger things.
He looks out upon life with the eye ov wisdum, and studdying the various animals ov creashun, he cums tew the konklusion that the best thing he kan do iz tew bekum a frog.
This iz the way that frogs fust cum tew be made, and pollywoggs tew be lost.
The pollywogg now leaves the water and spends a part ov hiz summers upon land.
