Dr. Grogan has lately died abroad, and his will gives the proper ty to nine nephews and nieces.

Few col lossaI fortunes are made in a moment or a month; fortunes thus acquired. are always the result of fortunes losb bringing ruin to two parties; to the loser now, and to the winner little later; but g fortune is amassing, and if lost, another can be made "in the same line.'.a This man has three things in rare proportion. lUouRrEsY, couR: AGE AND INTEGRITY.
