All happiness dwells more in the hope than the possession; and at that moment I dare be sworn that Uncle Jack felt a livelier rapture circum proecordia, warming his entrails, and diffusing throughout his whole frame of five feet eight the prophetic glow of the Magna Diva Moneta, than if he had enjoyed for ten years the actual possession of King Croesus's privy purse.
The type of the Madonna here is still very similar to that in the Madonna with the Cherries. Apart from all these sacred works, and in every respect an exceptional production, is the world-famous Cristo della Moneta of the Dresden Gallery. As to the exact date to be assigned to this panel among the early works of Titian considerable difficulty exists.
Such a dainty boy as you needs to be stolen a while by the fairies." "Well, Gracie, I reckon you'd run double-quick to pull me off the milk-white steed. You couldn't get along without me two days. Look here! what story has a moral for you, miss? It's the 'Water-kelpie. You are like the man that married Moneta: you're always wanting money."
But at last the diamonds, sapphires, and rubies were all gone; and she was also losing the power of shedding gold-dust. Then her husband frowned on her, and no longer called her his "heart's jewel," or his "dear Moneta." At length she presented him with a little daughter as lovely as a water-sprite, with hair like threads of gold.
The kelpie said, "Will you go down?" "No," sighed Moneta, thinking of the kind words her husband had sometimes spoken to her: "I cannot go yet." But the kelpie came every day, repeating the question, "Will you go now?" and she answered, "I cannot go yet." But at last her husband said,

As you hold that there is some divinity presides over every human affair, there is one who presides over the travail of matrons, whose name, Natio, is derived a nascentibus, from nativities, and to whom we used to sacrifice in our processions in the fields of Ardæa; but if she is a Deity, we must likewise acknowledge all those you mentioned, Honor, Faith, Intellect, Concord; by the same rule also, Hope, Juno, Moneta, and every idle phantom, every child of our imagination, are Deities.
The temple of Moneta is dedicated the year after it had been vowed, Caius Marcius Rutilus being consul for the third time, and Titus Manlius Torquatus for the second time. A prodigy immediately followed the dedication, similar to the ancient one of the Alban mount. Publius Valerius Publicola was nominated; Quintus Fabius Ambustus was assigned to him as master of the horse.

A new plague is spreading throughout Europe.
There are others in the house of the noble Counts Canossi, which are amazing; and such, also, are those that he executed in the house of the Murati, near S.
