,The Tale of a Codish- l One morning, about fifty years ago, a little codfish was disporting himself inthe blue waters just outside of Boston harbor, and was dreaming of his past and of his future. . His ancestors had come over in the wake of the Mayflower, he felt their aristocratic blood in his veins, and though a little fish, yet, being a Bostonian, he talked like a whale. He looked with satisfaction upon that bay of which the Atlantic is but an adjacent puddle, and upon the cape, which, like an arm of the continent, reaches out to embrace the sea, for, thought he, these bear the name of my distinguished family. Surely there is significance in my heredity and environment.
