surrounding deeds of darkness with objects, innocent, perhaps, iu themselves, but such as haunt obscure 

 seclusion, like bats and owls. No violet or primrose could have flourished, tempting the roving foot, in the 

 spot where these Funguses were found; springing among dank sour weeds and fed by impure air and 

 corrupted vegetable matter, of course they were unfit for food. Yet they were treasures to the botanist, and 

 it is matter of regret, that by draining and burning the soil of this pet nook, the proprietor has effectually 

 removed all traces of our present subject, and flourishing carrots reward his enterprise, in cultivating what 

 appeared hopelessly unprofitable soil.
