The Old and the New.—The
November uumber of Peterson's Magazine is admirable iu points of illustrations, contents, and general appearance. "Charlotte Corday,'' by Virginia G. Sully, is a most interesting
record, and is beautifully illustrated.
"A Mouutaiu Pa-ssion-llower," by Ella
Higginsou, is au intensely dramatic
story, aud the accompanying pictures
are very effective. Vmong the other
illustrated articles are "Preserved iu
Pictures," by Harriet Latham, and
"About Pincushions," by Mrs. Sawai'd,
the latter giv.iug numei-tms novel designs that would make lovely Christmas presents. '' A Country Parlor," by
.Qoi.by _^asbroi^c.k, is full of capital
suggestions, as_ is "An Afteruoqn Tea,''
by Sarah Atliertpiii. "-ISreakiug His
Petterg," by Frank II. Sweet, is an ex-
yeptipn;\Hy goc*. story, but iudeed holh
gtoi'ies and poems are all away ahove
the average magazine standard. The
most noticeable feature of the month is,
ho .yeyer, thg statement that with this
number "PQtersQii'" will close its record
IIS a, fit-sqiou pirioiic.il, after haviug-
atQqd at the head of such publications
for ovev fifty years. A fresh management takes control, and the future
magazine will he devoted solely to literature and art, under the title ot "The
NEW Peterson.'' For several years
past, the Magazine has heen rapidly
progressing toward this evolution, and
the time has come for the change, as
we all feel that a- combination of literature aud fashion is no longer desirable.

The man who has a vein of sentiment, and is not ashamed of it,
had a little romance, or what he chose
to regard as a romance, to tell about
the other evening. One of his ofiice
rooms, as every one knows who has
been in Ms office for the last ten years,
looks out on a court.
Directly across the court are the
windows of a millinery shop, and on
the upper side of the court those of an
electrical establishment. They are all
on the same level.
"I used to notice when I looked out
into the court," he said, "a young woman in the millinery shop who worked
away industriously at the window.
Over in the place where they made
electrical appliances was a good-looking fellow, who was always whistling
or 'humming1 a popular air. He
seemed to go at his work as if ifc were
not work, hut play. One day when I
was standing at my window I saw him
look over to the milliner's window. At
that moment the girl who was turning
a hat around to look at it with a critical eye, raised her glance. He gave
her a little friendly nod, and smiled at
her in a frauk, good-natured way. I
thought I could see her hlnsh, and she
held her eyes down after that, while
he went on working and whistling
merrily.
"Later I noticed that his nod used to
be returned with a smile. When they
were ahout to go away in the evening
they would give each other a farewell
n»d. In the winter, when the days
got short, neither of them worked at
the window after 4 or 5 o'clock, but
when I was detained at my ofiice 1
used to be on the watch for the 6
o'clock "whistles just to see them come
to their windows and nod their heads
across the court.
"Thfs went on for more than a year,
and I got interested iu the two young
people and began to weave romances
about them. In the coming spring
when I wanted to have some work
done in my office I went over to the
electric shop to see about getting the
young man to do it. When he was in
my room afterward I saw him go to
my "window and glance across the
court. He had to make several trips
there, for the young woman's eyes seldom strayed over to my window Finally, howevor, he caught her eye, and
she gave a little start of surprise and
then blushed very perceptibly, as
young people do who are caught unawares by those in whom they are interested.
"When my young electrician turned
around he must have seen the interested expression on my face, for the
oolor eame up aud spread all over his
face until it was as rosy red as the side
of an apple.
'"She's a very modest and pretty
girl,' I said to him, encouragingly, for
my curiosity was getting the better of
my discretion.
"'Indeed she is,' he said, Hushing
again.
'"How long have you known her?'I
asked, iu a tone calculated to invite
confidence.
'"O, I don't know her,' he answered
hastily, aud his face got scarlet this
time. 'You see,'he added, shyly,'we
have seen each other so long at those
windows that it seemed natural for us
to nod at each other.'
"I was a little disappointed at this,
for I couldn't make much out of tho
romance. Afterward, however, I saw
that they kept up the exchange of
smiles across the court and occasionally the 3'oung electrician would glance
my way and give me a greeting with
his curly head.
"This went on for nearly two years,
aud then I noticed that the young wo.t
man's face was missing from the window'. The electrician did not seem tq
mind it. however. In f:i,ct, he seemed
more light hearted anil cheerful than
ever. 1 could hear liim singing away
in a pleasing.voice by the ho.iu\ and.],
really got to'disliku. tha ..an for- nob
seeming to oare whether his little
milliner aver, came back or- not. Tfot.
see, I aix\ r_.mn,ntic.
"Well, the next summer was so b.ot
that I used to, take a ride down to.
Coney Island and back every Si\r.day
afternoon to, try to, keep cool in the.
feezes of the ocean.. On one of these
Sundays I saw the.little milliner, looking as bright s.s a, ripe peach, sitting
alope in the stern of the boat. She
was neatly dressed with a pretty bonnet on her head, and she was attractive-looking enough to be one's wife.
Pretty soon a man came along the
deck carrying in one arm a child aud
holding in his hand a glass of water.
Then, when he turned his face, which
had been hidden behind the child's big
hat, I saw that it was my electrician.
"Catching sight of me, he nodded
and smiled, just as he had. often done
across the court, and I walked straight
up to him, and shaking him heartily
hy tho hand congratulated him with
genuine feeling. .Vhen he introduced
me to his wife he was as proud as au
Emperor, and I never spent" a better
afternoon than On that day, chatting
with that couple. Ton may talk about
your love and matqji-making, but I
never saw two people who seemed to
care more for eaeh other than they
did.
"III had known they were going to
be married I should have sent them a
wedding present—and a handsome
one, too—hut, as I hadu't been allowed
to do that, I just went out the next
day and bought that baby a locket and
chaiu and sent it over with a pleasant
note to the happy young electrician by
one of my office boys, aud a few minutes later, when I saw that man's
beaming face, nodding at me a.cross
the court, as he held my little srlft iu
his hand, 1 felt—well, I felt like a fool
for being a crusty old hachelor."—J5E

THE   MAN   WITHOUT  A  SHIRT.
A Ifew  Confidence  Scheme  Successfully
"Worked.
"Lady, dear, good lady, for pity's
sake—»ofc for the sake of commen
charity, not for common or ordinary-
kindness, hut for pity's sake—can't
you give me a shirt?"
This is the well-worded,impassioned
plea a hig man, with a hard visage, a
battered derby, torn clothes and. no
shirt, made to the wife of a prominent
down-town business man in West 56th
street the other day, says the N. Y.
Becorder.
In the temporary ahsence of a house
servant she had answered the door-
hell herself and was confronted by the
big tramp. As he gpoke these words
he"pulled out a nail which answered
the purpose of a coat huttou and exposed to the astonished gaze of the
woman his nude body from collar to
waist.
"For pity's sake, lady," he said, "I
must have a shirt. Ihaveheen unfortunate and ifc would shock you, lady,
to tell how. I have too much respect
for a real lady to shock her finer feelings. But just think what a fix I am
in—a respectable man going around
without a shirt!"
She is a woman of good nerve and
she wasn't scared. Involuntarily she
broke into a laugh, "which quickly
turned to pity.    She said:
"Why, poor man; this is really a
hard case.   What size will fit you?"
"Any size, lady, any size," the fellow
said, eagerly.
She laughed again, this time heartily, for he was so big that he would
need a No. 19 collar at least—which
not one man in ten thousand could fill.
"Very well," said she, kindly, "just
wait here. and I will see what I can
do."
In five minutes she returned hring-
ing a big linen night shirt belonging
to her husband. "Here, poor man,"
said she, compassionately, "take this;
it's the best I can do."
"God bless you, lady; hy this act
you havelaid up a treasure in heaven."
And having said this he moved on.
"The Lord's sake, mem, aud was the
dirthy tramp here, too—the dirthy
tramp, wid no shirt?" This was what
the lady from helow stairs said as she
came in. The tramp was just disappearing. "Why, bless you, mem, he's
worked it all along the block an' as
you live he's got four shirts stuffed m-
siden his trousers this hlissid minifc,
savin' naught of "what he worked ye
fer, mem."
"Ellen, you don't mean it?" exclaimed the lady. "Why, what will he do
with them?"
"What will he do wid 'em. is it?
Well do 1 know what he'll do wid 'em.
Folly him, I will, sure as me name is
Ellen Mulcahy. To the dago cast-offs
will he go, mem, as straight as tracks
can take him."
And there's where he did go—as
straight as track's could take him, for
the lady from below stairs saw it with
her own brighteyes—to the headquarters on Ninth avenue.just a few blocks
down, of tlie Italian dealers in cast-off
clothing, who go about in that part of
the town mornings, droning out, musically but incoherently: "Aye kaast
ofe; kaast ofe clo!" He probably got
a quarter apiece for the shirts. It is a
new phase of the "cast-oil" business.
Saved by the Microphone.
Dr. Loukhmanow, a St Petersburg
physician, recently called at a house
in whieh a lady w;\s sujipusod to have
just died, and. happening to know
that she had been subject lo swoons
and nervous attacks, he doubted that
she \\-as dead aud resolved to learn
the truth in an unusual way. Accordingly he placed a microphone
over her heart and soon found that it
was still heating, though faintly. The
usual remedies wove then applied with
the result that the'lady is now rapidly
recovering.
