time since, in' passing through the Phila-

Cverman extr?eion with a liasket of pro
digious fioe. parsnips ; th-y measured
2 J to 3 feet in length, handsomely taper

her, how she managed to raise them so
Urge anfl noe ? foresaid 1, mine have

replied ; I have no faith in' such things.
Ah, but there is something in it for ah,
said she, and you must sow ' in the sign
of the fish ; (thinks-1 -tomy self, this is a
fish story.) On my return' home, hovv
ever, I thought I would look at my mem
orandum book to see how fax it was from
the fish when I committed the seed to
the ground ; and it actually, appeared
that I had accidentally sown on the 22d
f May, 1824, w hich was on the second
and last day of pisces, .trie very time
prescribed by the credulous old woman
to insure success; I therefore attributed
my failure to that which j I had before
