A Millionaire in Homespun.

I know another example of great ■wealth —and I might allude to him as an awful example—l refer to Joseph Richardson, a wealthy contractor here, known to everybody as “Uncle Jo.” He is now building the extension of the Grand Central Depot. As he hurries about his work—he always hurries —he looks like some old-fashioned miller, belated with 'a country grist. Uncle Joe is worth, probably, some five or six millions, but he once boasted, in my hearing, that he never paid more than sl2 for a suit of clothes in his life. He is 75 years old, I think, but he never bought himself an overcoat in his life. —New York letter.

“A little Are Is quickly trodden out Which, being suffered, rivers cannot quench.” Procrastination may rob you of time, but by increased diligence jo i can make up the loss; but if it robs you of life the Iqss is irremediable: if your hea:th is delicate, your appetite tickle, your sleep broken, your mind de ressed, your who e he. ng out of sorts, depend on it you are seriously diseased. In all • such cases Dr. Fior e's “Golden Medical Discovery" will si eedily effect a genuine, radical cure—make a new man of you and save ■ you from the tortures of lingering disease. The use of waists and corsets is said to be increasing among the men of Gotham. Betting is no argument, yet it will do in the place of a better.— New Orteant Picayune.
