All the apartments are newly furnished with elegant furniture, we having the first use of it.

The voice of complaint was heard on every side, and inquiries being instituted, the cause was soon discovered. The council debated long on the remedies to be taken, and Law, being called on for his advice, was of opinion, that an edict should be published, depreciating the value of coin five per cent. below that of paper.

There are horrors over which we throw a veil. Sufficient that they were necessary horrors that they could not be prevented. But only the doctors and the chaplains know what our men passed through in Intombi camp. But no one complained that was the wonder of it. 'Oh! sir, when do you think Buller will get through? was the nearest to complaint ever heard.

I shall be dignified some day some day! But you see I must make it possible myself, since nobody has done it for me." "Well, then, I'll alter my complaint. Why should you play with your sincerity?" "I didn't play with it," she flashed; "I abandoned it. I am an actress."

The wasps of the House fasten on it; here they perceive is something easy to sting, and safe, for it cannot sting in return. The small grain of foundation for complaint germinates, till it becomes a whole crop.
