certain Athenian want to Themistocles for advice. He was in doubt whether it would be better) to give his daughter in marriage to
a man of sterling qualities but of very slender means, or to one whose only recommendation was wealth. Themistocles was learned states- man, ond had no false view as re- gards riches. "I would give my, daughter,' said he, "to a man without money, rather than to marry ber to money without a man.
A young American who had in: herited a fortune from his father, one day requested a circle of acquaint ances to a pleasant little ten at his hoe, where he pointed out to thera the interesting features of his beauti. ful curios and decorations. He bow- over had his eyes fixed upon a cer tain young lady of the party; and when there was a chance for him to speak to her alone, he was conceited enough to begin by saying that he was worth half a million. The next few minutes found him making & i proposition of marriage As might be expected, he took care to insinu ate that if she said yes, she would become the mistress of his splendid big mansion, and the supreme comTM mander of all his wealth. With
the blushes rising on her checks, the modest maiden, told him she-was going to marry a millionaire. That proud irascible temperament was early excited. The name of the financial magante was immediately ared. "Who he is you will soon discover. The riches of a wife bea in the heart of her husband. He is a milliocaire of character-and that is all I want. Having returned this brave answer, she went to join her other friends, whilst the purse- proud young man stood confounded and amazed.
