Yes sir"
What does your mother want with eight
cents? don't owe her anything"
Well" said the child, father spends all
his money here for rum, and we have had

GRowING OMIT seems but q summer since
we looked forward with eager hopes to the

back. Not that The dream has passed, but that
it has been of no worth to those around

early life pass away; as friends after frinds
departs the. stronger ties which hold us here
are broken, our life seems but bubble, CLAN
cling for moment in the light, and than bro.
