Not enough to buy the coffin, 1 declare !! "
exclaimed Minnie.
What will the expense be-let me see !;
the coffin, grave and hearse-we deedn't give
the minister anything, Minnie, but we shall
have to hire one carriage at least, and at the
lowest calculation it will cost twenty-five dol

Spain"
a. Castles in Spain; fiddlesticks I'd as
soon have so much brick dust" And Minnie
heaved deep sigh as she reseated herself

lofty Tower reaching well nigh the heavens
with its curuscating dome, glittering arches,
changing, yet ever beautiful, that from its Ear

places by the bed to two old women, who were

in their respective families, and omens and
warnings.
