Ile marries for money just as be would change Ms polities, or his reli- gion, if it advanced him a step further in ins career ; it is a mere cold.bltbded dont. mereial arrangement, nothing more. • Very often he is a selfish and lazy man. He wante the best of this world's goods, and he by no means desires the labor of get- ting them. Far easier than working with his own hands or head it ift to marry a wo- !nen and live on her riches. They think they have discovered a royal road to com- fort, and eaao, these men -they have only to marry a rich woman and oblige her to sup- port them. The man who marries for money is con- temptible. He puts himself into a position which would be blushed for by any of his fellows with the faintest sentiment of *halite • about them. He is receiving money from a woman, and from a woman to whom he gives nothing in return. He does not even ofler her the affection which a woman values so much higher than gold. Sometimes a man's position under these circumstances is peculiarly degrading. The wife keeps her money in her own hands. Thanks to the reforming of the laws for women, she can do so nowadays. She doles him out so lunch a day for his cabs, and his lunch, and his daily paper. In some cases she has been known to pay for his refresh- %lents when they are out together. A woman who marries for money may have something to excuse her, 'though that will not prevent her suffering the penalty of her folly. But a man who does the same has not her extenuation. He is able to battle with the world. He is strong and can fight.

He used to tell another story that seemed to give him great joy to repeat.
