WORTH HER WEIGHT M GOLD.
A TltCE T.VLE OF TEN YEARS AGO,
" Thank fate I I 8haJl never bo
prey of a fortune huutor."
As Sally Bcauclere utterod the vrords
she llirew herself back. upon the Hofa,
and tossed her handfiomo head witli a
light laugh. '
"Your fortune is Your face." reioincd
her companion, as he gazed admiring
ly on her fine features.' Sally opened
her largo e-ey in astonishment.
"A compliment from vou. Tom !"
she exclaimed,
The gentleman colored. know I
am not much givc to pretty speeches,
but 3-ou Jcnow. Kally. that I rnimiro
you all the same." " fi
To tell the truth, Tom Middleton
had for a long timo loved Miss Bcau-
clero, itli all tho strength of an car
nest arid constant nature ; but he was
very iliilideut; he had shrank from
making known his attachment, fearing
Sally's ridicule, though had he been
more conhdent of himself he might
havo read long ago aBccret that Sally's
eyes took little pains to conceal, liut
Tom never imasrined how desirable a
fellow ho was in himself, and knowing
ho lmd no great fortune to bestow, ho
did not venture to offer his hand to the
daughter of Senator Beauclere, and
ii. . i i ii
me reigning ueiio oi uie , city, wuiy
was one of a lariro family, it i tr-irl
and xortionless, but her lothcr'd jKJsi
tion and her own beuf.ty made Tom
imagine ner to do far removed from
him. .Now, he only looked hurt when
she thus playful! sneered at his mall
conipli-aent, and turning away to the
wiiiiiow, thd not catch the tender look
j that stole over Sally's handsome feat
ures.
"Weil, whatLvthe weather?" he
a-sked, after a momentraJt he still stood
at
gazing oui imo me nignu, .
It is a beautiful moonlight, and 1
think I had better L'o."
Go! Oh, Tom! Why, this is the
last time I fcliall sec you for ever so
Ion-."
"And will vou care?" he asked, as
he came a-ain to her side.
Sally blushed. "Of course I shall
care, lorn.
"No, Sally, to-morrow you are goin
rr
to asmnirton. lou wiii.uo a
ww w w m
belle
there, as you are evfcrj wbere, and you
will noon forget me.
. "No, indeed, Tom!" she replied, ear-
nestlv. "Amonir all those Htnuie
faces and eo)le I thin't care anything
about, I shall lonj; to eo my old
friends."
""ButTiot rue. Ton won't tare much
whether I am among the number or
not
'Tea, I shall."
Torn was a fool where women were
concerned, or he would have known
what those words in that soft tone
meant. As ..it was, a., wild hope did
spring up in his heart, but when he
looked again at that beautiful woman
it died away. "I am not brilliant
er.ough for her," he thought ; but he
plucked up KufHcit-nt courage to put
out his hand and take pneof hers.
Tou arc very kind, Hally," he said,
"I shall come on to Wanliington, by
and by, and then I shall know how
sincero your words are." ;
.Sally's cheek burnt ; but at that mo
ment tho door opened. iTom dropped
her hand, as one of the numerous young
sisters came in, and the golden opjior
tunity passed away, for thev were not
together again for that evening.
On that very same night, nearly a
thousand miles awav, two voung uqu-
uemen were speajung oi vm same
young lady. They vc.ro travelers, who
had accidentally met on board a steam
er on Lake Erie. They wero total
eah other's names, but had fallen into
A chat as they fctroljed. on deck, under
the rays of the full moon.
"I never was so far from land before
in my life," said the elder of the two,
a fine looking man of perhaps thirty-five.
Indeed J exclaimed his compan-
ion, a nanasome. city-orou looKins:
gentlemen. M3lay I ask where you
are from, that your sea experience has
been so limited ?"
"From' the interior of North . Caro
lina?"
"Ah 1" cried tho stranger, and his
cold features lit up into sudden inter
est. 'Then perhaps you know the
Beaucleres ?
"Very well, indeed, they aro old
friends of mine."
"And Miss Beauclere ; you know
her?" . -
"Certainly."
"I hear she is very handsome."
"Tes : do you know her ?",
No, I have merely heard of her ;
but I expect to meet her
in Washing-
ton tnis wmior.
She is the oldest daughter, is she
not?"
"Yes." . .
"And is Senator Beauclere a man of
wealth?" -
"Yes ; that is, he has a very fine es
tate " ' " " ..'.V
TSTiss Sallv is the daucrhter of the
first marriage, is she not ?',
! Yes, and' a noble girl. - Why, sue
tl - Tvn'lli'nn in Tlprsfilf
is " worm nan -a minion m uerstm
alone," exclaimed the North Carolinian,
Gnthusiasticallv.;
His companion started, a little at the
word, but changed the" conversation to
other subjects', and before long the two
rrflnilcn-Gn'vr&rted for the nirrht.1 still
inlornorahce' of', each other's names
Theyt did not meet again, but in the
morning exchanged' merely a distant
bow as tney left tne boat in opposite
directions, - . ; ; '
The ' weeks j passed on, : and Sally
Beauclere - was established with her
parents at Willard's Hotel in Washing
ton; ' ; As Middleton had predicted, her
beauty and talents drew around her a
circle of admirers, and before long ehe
was established as bno of tho reigning
WUtU Ul W UMUIIlglOU. 1 -
; The admiration and adulation which
eho received, Sally found more intoxi
cating and delightful than she had im
agined.' It was very pleasant 'to' bo
tho beauty of every ball-room, and con
stantly surrounded by acirclo of ador
ers., Hi idea of returning to tho
humdrum lifo of home was not always
pleaHant to her, and she somethnos
felt half inclined to think .seriously of
acceiting somo of tho brilliant offers
that wero inado to her. She. had;bcen
a good deal put out, too, witli Tom, for
not speaking before she cam away.
Sometimes she was half inclined to
doubt his love for her, and although
his earnest eyes haunted her with their
wistful look of afftctjon, sh had more
than one serious thought of trying to
banish his rcmcmbranco and marry, as
many others aroundher did, formoney
rather than for love.
Most prominent among her sworn
admirers was Mr. Charlton Murrav, of
New York. Handsome, distinguished
looking and reputed to bo of great
wealth, ho seemed to bo a match not
to bo despised. Siuco the moment of
his first introduction to Solly, ho had
devoted himsielf to her mont persist
ently. Every day a boquet of fresh
flowers come to her room with compli
ments ; every morning ho hung over
ner chair ; every evening he was ready
to attend her at tho balls and recep
tions. -
Sally, to tell tho truth, wa very
well pleased with his admiration he
understood so well how to play the
agreeable, he paid her such pretty
compliments, ho was so handsomo ana
thorough-bred ! Ho hod ahfitdymade
his proosai in lorm, ana fcauy was
listening to his earnest pleading, as
they sat half hidden from observation
in one of the deep windows of tho ho
tel parlor.
"Pray, Mikh Sally, think favorably
of my suit. My hopes of happiness,
niv future life, depend uion vour re
ply."
Tho words were earnest, the . tone
impassioned. Sally's cheek burnt, as
she hesitated for reply. : "I liaveknown
vou for so short a time," she faltered.
."What is that? . You have known
me for five weeks, and during that
during
timo have seen xno more frequently
than vou would under different circum
stances in a whole year. I liaveknown
vou long enough to love you madly,
distractedly love you ! And vou have
known me long enough to bid me at
leant horn."
She did not reply, and he font! to-
wanls her, taking her hand in his eager
ness. "Sally, my dearest Sally."
Ilia wonls and actions recalled her
to her ignition and sht drew back,
"You may forget where you are, Mr.
Murrav !"
At this moment she caught sight of
a gentleman who was talking with her
father "There is an old friend of
mine. I must go and speak to him."
And she sprang up without any reply
to her impassioned suitor.
Murray looked after her with a smile
of triumph. He had little doubt of
his ultimate success.
"Mr. Trumbull, how do you do?"
cried Sallv, as she came forward.
"Ah, Miss Sally, I am glad to see
you again," exclaimed the gentleman.
The dissipation of Washington has
not spoiled you. I see you are more
blooming than evei ." , : .
Sally laughed and blushed. K
"Come, now, pa, don't you bore Mr.
Trumbull "with politics, but leavo him
jto me for a while, to tell me how every
one is at homo.
, Senator Beauclere, after a few more
words, turned away, and Sally and her
old friend sat down sido by side. Mr.
Trumbull had married one of her
schoolmates, and sho regarded him al
most as a brother.
"Well, MiMs Sally, tell mo about
your beaux. Whose heart have you
broken last?" '
Involuntarily Sally glanced towards
Murray, who stood in tho window re
cardincr her with icalous eves.
"JNobody s" sho replied lurhtly :
but Mr. Trumbull's look followed hers.
wny, wno is mat xeiiow mat is
watching you so earnestly ?" he ex
claimed with a stait.
J' M m9 mm mm. W WW M
3ir. Murray, of iNew xork, if 30U

dow."
"It is the very man I saw last fall
and spoko to of you," said Mr. Trum
bull. "Has he been makim? love to
you?" ;
"What did he say about me? ' asked
bally, ignonng his last words.
10 did not sav mucn : he asked a
great many questions about you. But,
say, has he proposed to you ?
"jevor minawnemcr tie nasor not,
but tell me what he said," urged Sally,
eagerly. . ..- ..
"Ho asked if your father was rich,
for ono thing. , ;
"And what did you say?"
"I said yes." f ; f
"And what else? Tell mo all about
it," sho cried imperiously.
: Mr. Trumbull laughed. "I told
him you were worth half a million of
dollars," ho said. ; , ' ;;
Sally's brow contracted and her eyes
flashed.' You did ! Why, Mr. Trum
bull, did you say that V
"I meant you. are such a fine girl you
aro worth it ; and; really, Miss bally,
1 minK it too low an estimate, lough
to have' said two millions." i :
Sally laughed. "Oh. that is funny
And do you suppose he believed it ?"
"Certainly. ' And so ho has ' been
courting you ?" a Mr. Trumbull .saidj
shrewdly. . , . . ..
"Perhaps so ; but aro you sure he is
me same man f
"I think he is ; but a question "will
soon set that at rest. ; .
Sally started in her impulsive, jqa
ner : "Come, I will' introduce yaa
and then I shall know tho truth of this
extraordinary story."
Mr. , Trumbull would havo remon
strated, butsho was half across the
room beforo ho could interfere. Mur
ray started forward with pleasure as
he saw her approaching him.
"He is an old friend of miWr who
thinks ho has seen you before :" she
said: "Mr. Trumbull. Mr. Murrav."
Tho gentlemen shook hands, and
then Mr. Trumbull said:
"I think we met on board a boat on
LaVo Erie, last fall."
'-Yes replied Murray, with a faint
uusn ; "i remember it perfectly."

"Is he rich?" .-'v
"Ho is said to be wealthy."
"Then, you suppose fortune will ha
a matter of indifference to him?"
"But what if his 13 as mythical as
mine?"
"You must find that out."
"No, I do not care to know now"
said Sally "Let us talk of something
else."
"Yes, I thought you were going to
ank after your old friends. Have you
forgot all about them in these gaieties?"
"Oh, no!" And Sally put query af
ter query about her home friends, un
til at last Mr. Trumbull said : But
you do not ask after Tom Middleton,
and yet you might, for he. cares more
for you than all tho rest of .them put
together." , tC'
"Oh, that's nonseriseV'-But how ' is

"He will tell you himself."
"Tom here?" exclaimed Sally, her
lute uguuug up wjiu ueiigm.
"Yes, indeed, we camo on together."
"And why hasn't he come to speak
tome?" and the pretty face clouded
again.
"He says he did not dare, before all
these people, but if you will tro to your
pariur x wiu sena mm mere.
Sally started up at once, and Mr.
Trumbull looked after her with a smile.
He liad been hoping for this match for
a long time, and now, as he went out
to find Tom, he whispered to him:
"Sjeak to her to-night, man. I am
Mure she loves you."
Tom scarcely knew whether he was
on his head or his heels as he made his

what happened when he reached it.
He only Knew that Sally came to meet
him with a bright, blushing face, and
the next thing he was certain of she
was clasped in his arms.
At a tolerably early hour the next
morning a note was handed to Sully.

ROMAN WIVES.
The legal position of the Boman
wife was, for a long period, extremely
low. The 1 toman family was constitu
ted on the principle of the absolute
authority of its head, who had the
power of life and death both over his
wife and over his children, and who
could repudiate the former at will.
Neither the custom of gifts to the fath
er of the bride, nor the custom of dow
ries, appears to have existed in the
earhent period of Horn an history, but
the father disposed absolutely of the ;
hand of his' daughter, and sometimes
possessed the power of breaking oil
marriages that had actually been con
tracted; In the forms of marriage,
however, which were usual in the ear
lier periods of Home, the absolute
power passed into the hands of the ;
husband, and he had the right in some
cases, of putting her to death. Law
and public oiinion continued in 'mak
ing matrimonial purity more strict.
For five hundred and twenty years, it
was said there was no such thing as a
divorce in Home, and, even after this
example, for many years the marriage "
tie was regarded as absolutely indissolu
ble. Manners were so severe that a
Senator was censured for indecency I
because he had kissed his wife in pres- ;
ence of their daughter. It was con
sidered in a high degree disgraceful "
for a Roman mother to delegate to a.
nurse the duty of suckling her child.
Sumptuary laws regulated, with the
most minute severity, all the detail of .
domestic economy.' The courtesan
class, though probably numerous, and
certainly uncontrolled, were regarded
with much contempt. Tho disgrace
of publicly professing themselves mem
bers of it was believed to be a suffi
cient punishment; and an old law, -which
was probably intended to teach
in symbol the duties of married life,'
enjoined that no such person should
touch the altar of Juno. It was relat
ed of a certain icilile, that he failed to
obtain redress for an assault which had
been made upon him, because it had
occurred in a house of ill fame, in
which it was disgraceful for a Roman
magistrate to be found. The sanctity
of female purity was believed to be at
tested by all nature. The most savage
female became tame before a virgin.
When a woman walked naked round a
field, caterpillars and loathsome insects
fell dead before her. It was said that
drowned men floated on their backs,"
and drowned women on their faces;
and this, in the opinion of Roman nat- -
uralists, was due to the superior purity,
of the latter. . --..-;-v , .y.
It was remarked by Aristotle, that
the superiority of the Greeks to tho
barbarians, was shown, among other
things, in fact that the Greeks did not,
like other nations, regard their wives
as slaves, but treated them as help
mates and companions. A Roman
writer has appealed, on the whole
with greater justice to tho treatment of
wives by his fellow-countrymen, as a
proof of the superiority of Roman to
Greek civilization. He has observed .
that, while the Greeks kept their wives
in a special quarter in the interior of
their houses, and never permitted
them to sit at banquets, except with
their relatives, no Roman ever hesita
ted to lead hi3 wife with him to the
feast, or to place the mother of the
family at the head of his table.
Whether, in the period when .wives
were completely subject to the rule of
their husbands, much domestic oppres
sion occurred, it is now impossible to
say. A temple dedicated to a goddess
named vinplace, whose mission it was
to appease husbands, was worshiped
by Roman women on the Palatine, and
a strange and improbable, if not in
credible story, is related by Iivy, of
the discovery, during the Republic, of
a vast conspiracy of Roman wives to
Eoison their husbands.' On the whole,,
oweverj it is probable that the Roman
matron was, from the earliest period
a name of honor; that the beautiful
fentence of a jurisconsult of tho em
pire, who denned marriage as a life
lonflr fellowship of all divine and hu-.
man rights, expretvsed most faithfully
the feelings of tha people, and that
female virtue shone in every, age con
spicuously in Roman biographies. ;
