A NEW WAY TO WIN A FORTUNE.
BYMISS ELIZA A. DUPUY.
AUTHOR OF "THE DISCARDED WIFE," "WHY DID HE MARRY HER," "THE HIDDEN SIN," "THE CLANDESTINE MARRIAGE," "THE DETHRONED HEIRESS," "THE GIPSY'S WARNING," "WAS HE GUILTY; OR, HOW HE DID IT," "THE MYSTERIOUS GUEST," "ALL FOR LOVE," "WHO SHALL BE VICTOR," "MICHAEL RUDOLPH," "THE CANCELLED WILL," "THE PLANTER'S DAUGHTER," ETC., ETC. Let not one look of fortune cast you down; She were not fortune, if she still did frown: Such as do braveliest bear her scorns a while, Are those on whom at last she most will smile. Since you will buckle fortune on my back, To bear her burden whether I will or no, I must have patience to endure the load.
