The sojourners at our city hotels are
familiar with the modest tone in which the
words "New York Herald" "Trbune,' -
Times" "Ba'imore Sun" "In'eIircn.
Ger, "Union," &C.. fall upon their ears
from a respectable elderly gentleman in
the newspaper line. At break Of day YOU
may find him at the railroad depot, with
his bundle Of these "maps Of busy life"
Rt breakfast time he is at the hotel ready
to exchange his commodities for the ready
cash; and again as midnight draws near,
you will still find him pursuing the even
tenor ol his way, pressing his sales. We
have observed him for many years going
regularly through this routine. Many
wonders if he ever sleeps. If "erernal
vigilance Is the price of Iberry," he is en-
Titled To the largcst that may be had. A
curiosity Is often manifested to know his
history. Some say that he has by dlnt
ot such un'inng industry and perseverance,
laid up something handsome for "rainv
