FOR THE CHILDREN. Puzzle.

Three fishers at a ferry met, Each with his blooming bride And in a skiff that held but two, Desired to cross the tide. Each husband was a doatinff dear, And jealous to extreme, And hence the ticklish question rose, How they should cross the stream ? The skiff might cross as oit as wished, Each bride the boat could steer, Hut might with no strange man be left, Unless her own were near. The night was dark, the ferry wide, The wives a sprightly three, Then how did they the river cross And keep from quarrels free.
