This fatal love has scattered, and forever, All the bright, early blossoms of my mind. To all the great, exalted hopes I'm dead. Chance led thee to the king or Providence, It cost thee but my secret and at once He was thine own thou may'st become his angel: But I am lost, though Spain perhaps may flourish. Well, there is nothing to condemn, if not My own mad blindness.

"Oh, well," granted the pessimist, "I believe it will cost enough money out of the public to pay all the cost of printing the subscription papers anyway." "If we didn't need that kicker on the team, we'd throw him out of here," laughed Sam Edgeworth, good-naturedly.

I vish I haf vonce a whole pifshtea-ak undt a glahss beer hmm!" "Hmm!" I echoed, "your subsequent marketing wouldn't cost much."

All estimates deal directly with the real things, the flour, iron, wood, wool, and labor, of which money and credit were for you the very misleading representatives.

Out of the annual product the amount necessary for the support of the people is taken, and the requisite labor to produce the next year's consumption provided for.
