HIS FoRruNE.-A young man from Ed

HIS FORTUNE. young man from Ed inburgh, who had no fortune, requested a lawyer, a friend of his, to recommend him to family where he was daily vis- itor, and where there was handsome daughter, who was to have large for tune. The lawyer said he did not exactly know how, but he would inquire. The next time he saw his young friend he ask ed him if he had any property at all.
 "No," replied he.
 "Well," said the lawyer, "would you suffer any one to cut off your nose, if he would give you twenty thousand pounds for it ?'
 "What an idea Not for the world p
 s''Tis well," replied the lawyer "I had a reason for asking.'
 The next time he saw the girls father, he said,
 'I have inquired about the young man S circumstances. He has, indeed, no ready money, but he has a jewel for which, to my knowledge, he has been offered, and refused, twenty thousand pounds
 This induced the old father to consent to the marriage, which accordingly took place though it is said that in the sequel, he often shook his head when he thought of the jewel.

Peterson's Magazine for October
comes to us in advance o! all others,
and more beautiful than ever. The
principal steel-engravings, can Igno-
minious Flight" is after one Of the
most popular pictures of the last Par
is Salon, and is full of humor and
graphic truth. There are two sheets
of colored patterns, with eight differ
ent designs: alone worth the price of
the number. The colored steel fash
ion-plate is of rare loveliness "Peter-
son" is now the only magazine that
gives these steel fashion-plates, col
ored by hand: all the other maya
zines give mere Autographs. Then
there are some fifty wood-cuts, Illus
trating fashions, and workable pat
terms Of every kind. In the literary
contents we find the same originality
and merit that long ago placed ape
terson" at the head of the ladies mag
azines. That charming novelet and
love-story, "a Fifth Avenue Ro-
NANCE" is finished, and new and
thrilling one, "The Mystery of the
Brocken." began. There is also a racy
story, beautiful illustrated, "Philoso-
ply in the Adirondacks" "Mrs. Ann

Without question, Peterson is, as it
claims, the cheapest as well as best of

DR.. Dio Lewis was born at Auburn.
n. Y, in 1923, studied medicine with
DR.. Briggs of that city, took his
medical course in the Harvard Medi-
cal School, Boston, began the practice
of his profession in his native place
in 1915, and two years later removed
to Buffalo, where he practiced from
1917 to 1852. During his residence in
Buffalo, he wrote number Of papers
onthe causes and treatment of Cholera,
which ravaged that city during 1919
and 1851. These papers attracted
much attention, and were afterward
published in book form.
In the Autumn of 1852, DR.. Lewis
took his young wife then seriously
threatened with consumption, to the
south. The visit to the southern
States was repeated during the two
following winters.
During these three winters of leis-
ure, DR.. Lewis seriously reconsidered
his life-work, and after consultation
with family and other trusted friends
resolved to '.shift the SWITCH" Since
1855 he has been engaged in lecturing
and writing on The subject of public
and personal hygiene. With the cx-

Increasingly occupied with the "ouncc

In 1850, having completed this sys-

John G. Flynn, the well known
news boy, who has sold papers every
day for thirteen years on the corner
of Fourth and Walnut streets, has
amassed a comfortable fortune and
retired from the newspaper business.
His stand was purchased yesterday
by another person, and Flynn, with
cash capital of $4,000, goes to Den
yer to engage in the hotel business.
Flynn was born in Cincinnati, and is
now about twenty-five years of age.
For several years he has made his
home at the Bethel, where he paid
regular rates for board and lodging.
He was always the first one Oh
the streets with the paper and the
last to quit in the evening. His
daily profits ranged from So to $l2 a
day. His money never went for any
foolishness, but was deposited in the
bank. Yesterday he drew from one
bank $4,000. The other $4,000 he had
in otherplaces. The thousands of
people who have patronized him in
the past will wish him equal success
in his new venture.-Cincinnati News
