Two Weddings.

The late Duke Maximilian, father of the Empress of Austria, was one of the most simple and affable of men. One day, as he was traveling on the train between his country residence and Vienna, he fell into conversation with a banker from Stuttgart, “Are you going to Vienna?” asked the Duke. “Yes; to see my daughter. She has just been married.” “Ah!” said the Duke; “mine has just married, also, Was it a good match?” “Excellent! And that of your daughter?” “Not bad, either.” “My daughter married the Banker Goldschmidt.” “Mine, the Emperor of Austria.”
