Palace, at Rome, which represents St. Anthony 

 delivering this address. Her Ladyship says, " The 

 salmon look at the preacher with an edified face, 

 and a cod, with his upturned eyes, seems anxiously 

 looking out for new light." There is likewise a 

 splendid picture on the same subject, by Salvator 

 Eosa, now in the collection at Althorpe House, 

 Northamptonshire . * 



Saint Patrick is the patron saint in Ireland for 

 fish and fishers. The legend tells us that the holy 

 man having an irresistible desire for some flesh meat, 

 obtained a piece of pork, and hid it. An apparition 

 had its eye on his movements, and struck him with 

 remorse of conscience. He repented ; and, as a proof 

 of the sincerity of his contrition, an angel turned 

 this piece of pork into some fine rich fish ! 



On quitting Fife, the angler will cross the Eirth 

 of Tay, a most splendid inlet, nearly twenty-four 

 miles in length, and from two to four in breauth. 

 When viewed from any commanding eminence, it is 

 a most interesting sight ; presenting the bold and 

 rocky coast of Fifeshire on the south, and on the 

 north the fine Carse of Gowrie, a rich plain that 

 stretches from the Pirth to the foot of the Leidlaw 

 Hills, affording the tourist a magnificent landscape, 

 comprehending the deep Bay of St. Andrews, and 

 the churches of this ancient city, which are distinctly 

 seen in the distance. 



* This legend is but little known in England, even among 

 Catholics ; but it may be seen in every bookseller's window. in 

 Rome, at the present day.
