The elm comes nearer to having a soul than any other vegetable creature among us. It loves man as man loves it. It is modest and patient. It has a small flake of a seed which blows in everywhere and makes arrangements for coming up by and by.

Who was the blundering idiot who said that "fine words butter no parsnips"? Half the parsnips of society are served and rendered palatable with no other sauce.
Never before were such connoisseurs of carrots, beets, onions, parsnips, and so on through almost the entire list of such winter stock as was to be obtained at our nearest green-grocery. We celebrated the day by nearly a dozen dishes which the children aided my wife in preparing.
Brisket is a deal steadier man than Georgy Robinson, and won't have to look for his bread so soon, I'm thinking." "He hasn't half the brains," said Poppins. "Brains is like soft words; they won't butter no parsnips." "And you've been with Brisket?" said the husband. "Yes; why not? Brisket and I was always friends.
