    A Story.
    Courtown castle was built by a man named Murphy, and when finished he composed a song, and when Lord Courtown was living in the castle, he came to the gate and sang the song. The Lord was very pleased indeed and he told old Murphy to wish. Murphy said he would like to see the library. "Oh said Lord Courtown" "If thats all you wish for you will be poor all your life" and he handed Murphy £50.00.
