Página 172 - By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song ; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
Página 42 - Yet nature is made better by no mean, But nature makes that mean : so, over that art, Which, you say, adds to nature, is an art That nature makes. You see, sweet maid, we marry A gentler scion to the wildest stock ; And make conceive a bark of baser kind ]5y bud of nobler race: This is an art Which does mend nature, — change it rather: but The art itself is nature.

It grows in patches, so thickly as to deter Stock from feeding among it, and even to monopolize the soil, — while its roots gradually extend around, and to a great depth. It is a native of the Southern States, — but has found its way to several localities in Pennsylvania.
Página 243 - The wild mushrooms are found in parks and pastures, where the turf has not been ploughed up for many years, and the best time for gathering them is August and September.
