|A CORRESPONDENT of the New York _Post_ says that the codfish frequents
"the table lands of the sea." The codfish, no doubt, does this to secure
as nearly as possible a dry, bracing atmosphere. This pure air of the
submarine table lands gives to the codfish that breadth of chest and
depth of lungs which we have always noticed.
The glad, free smile of the codfish is largely attributed to the
exhilaration of this oceanic altitoodleum.
The correspondent further says, that "the cod subsists largely on the
sea cherry." Those who have not had the pleasure of seeing the codfish
climb the sea cherry tree in search of food, or clubbing the fruit from
the heavily-laden branches with chunks of coral, have missed a very fine
sight.
The codfish, when at home rambling through the submarine forests,
does not wear his vest unbuttoned, as he does while loafing around the
grocery stores of the United States.
