Marriage is the first and most ancient of all institutions. As the foundation - of society and the family, it is universally observed throughout the globe, no nation having been discovered,however barbarous, which does not celebrate the union of the sexes by-Cere mony and rejoicing. The abuses of the institution, as polygamy, infidelity, and - di; vorce, have in no manner touched its exis tence, however they may have vitiated its pu rity. 'The condition of women in all countries has afforded a fruitful theme for the observa tion of the traveler and the speculations of the philosopher and the novelist.' It has be? uniformly found that the savage is the tyrant of the female sex, while the position and con sideration given to women is -.advanced in proportion' to the refinement of .social life. Under the laws of Lycurgus, Numa, and even later law-givers, the power of the husband over his wife was absolute, sometimes even including the poi-er over life or death. The wife was always defined and treated as a thing, not as a person 7 -the absolute property of •herlord. In the earlier ages a man might sell, his children or his wife indifferently, and relics of this rude custom still survive, even among nations called civilized and Christian. In the countries of the East where polyg aniy is almost universal, marriage is not the sacred tie which it is held to be in Christian countries. In Persia men marry either for life or for a determinate time. Travelers or merchants commonly apply to the magistrate for a wife during their residence in any place, and the Cadi produces a number of.girls for a selection, whom be declares to be honest rind healthy. Four wives are permitted to each husband In Persia, and the same number is allowed by the Mohammedan law to the Mussubnan: In Chinese Tartary a kind of male polyg amy is practiced, and a plurality of huibands is highly respected. In Thibet it is customa ry for the brothers of a Emily to have a wife in common, and they generally live in har mony and comfort with - her. Among the Calmucks, the ceramony of marriage i s per formed on horseback. The girl Is first mount ed and permitted to ride off at full speed,when her lover takei a horse and gallops after her. If he overtakes the fugitive she becomes his wife, and the marriage is consummated on the spot. It is said that no Instance is of a Calmuck girl ever being over. taken unless she was really fond of her pur suer. The Arabs divide their affections between their horses and their wives, and regard the purity of blood in the former quite as much Tr in their offspring. - Polygamy is practiced only by the rich, and divorces are rare. In Ceylon the marriage • proposal is brought about by the man first sending to her whom he wishes to become his wife, to purchase her clothes. These she sells for a stipulated sum, generally asking as much as she thinks requisite for them to begin the world with. In the evening he calls on her, with the wardrobe, at her father's house, and they pass the night in each . other's company. Next morning, if mutually satisfied, they ap point the day of marriage. They are per mitted to separate whenever they please, And so ficquendy avail themselves of this privilege that they sometimes change a doz en times Define their inclinations are Wholly suited. • dent. In ilindostan the women haie a• peculiar veneration for marriage, as it is a popular creed that those fbmales who die virgins are excluded from the Joys of paradise. In that precious ixitmiry the women begin to bear children at about the age of twelve, some even at eleven. The proximity of the Ear tires of India to the bunting • on, which ri pens men, as well as plants, Willa earliest period in these tended latitudes, la aidgued as the awe. The fliatitipashing mark of the Ilindoo wife is the most profotmd fideli ty, subtaissiou and attachment to her hus band.' - On the hank' of the Senegal, And, among many ..kfriam tribes, the, matrimonbl prize most sought after is•abtuidutee of flesh.

The" Empress Elizabeth, and Catharine IL, both acounted very fine women, were of this mas sive In Italy, matches are made with proverbial levity, and - marriage vows, if report speaks truly, are easily broken. Young virgins are systematically bartered and sold by their pa rents, and young people are married every day who never saw one another before. Con cubinage Ls a constant remedy for these ill advised and deceitful marriages, and the pc. culiarly Italian term,eicisbio indicates the in demnity which custom prescribes for thßZplr sex fettered to husbands unloved. In France, as has often been remarked, women monopolize all the society and a large share of the bltsiness of life. The toffee houses, the theatres, the shops, the cabarets, or drinking shops, are filled with women. Women lord It at all assemblies, and are bet ter inflirmed and more capable managers than men. Marriage is lo6ked upon not so much as a matter of affixtion es of interest, and the sacredness' of the tie is proportion ately slender. Marriage In Sweden is commonly • govern ed wholly by the will of the parents, and is founded upon Interest. A stolen match is al most unheard of, and persons of either sex seldom many before the age of twenty-five or thirty. Divordes are very -ire. • Russia appears to be the most preposterous country In EnrOpe in its treatment of women. The nuptial ceremonies, all and singular, are tared upon the idea of the degradation of the female. When the parents have agreed upon the match, the bride is examined by a num ber of women to see If she has any bodily defect. On her wedding day she is crowned with a - garland of wormwood, to denote the bitterness of the marriage state. She is ex horted to be obedient to her husband, and it is a custom in some districts for the newly married-wife to present the bridegroom with a whip, in token of submission, and with this he seldom fails to show his authority. In this cold and cruel country husbands are some times known to torture their wives to death without any punishment for the murder. If woman proves barren, the husband generally prevails on her to retire into a convent and leave him at liberty.j If he tails in persuasion he is permitted to whip her into condescen sion. Such is the slaveiy in which the Musco vites are kept by their parents and guardians, that they are not allowed to dispute any union agreed upon by their elders, however odious or incompatible it may be. This extends so far that officers in the army are not permitted to marry without the consent of the sovereign, and wives whom they do not want are even sometimes forced upon them. Whether it be the result of this system of oppression, or of their savage climate, or of the unnatural hot air of the stove-heated apartments, it is certain-that a more unlovely race of women than the Russian would be difficult to find. " They want," says an Eng lish traveler, "the genuine flavor which only nature can give. That charming firmness and elasticity of flesh, .so indis pensably requisite to constitute beauty, and so delicious to the . touch, exists not among the Russian females, or in very few of them. We are told of the Aleutian Islanders, who form a part .of our new Russian American acquisition, that they marry one, two or thiee wives, as they have the means of supporting them. The bridegroom takes the bride upon trial, and may return her to her parents, should he not be satisfied ; but cannot demand his presents back again. No man is allowed to sell his wife without her consent but he mny (and often does) assign her over to an other. This custom, it is said, is availed of by the Russian hunters, who take-Aluetiark wo men or girls to wife, for a time, for a trifling compensation. ' ARTEMIIS WARD'S LAST.

"Do I reel for it?" answered the landlord; in a puzzled voice—"Do I feel for it ?" "Yes; for the oppressed, the benited ?" "In-as-much as to which ?" said the lan'lord, "You see this man ?" said the female, pint in' her umbreller at the negrogentleman. "Yes, mane, I see him. "Yes!" said the female, raisin' her voice to a exceeding high pitch. "you see him, and he's yrour brother !" "No I darned If he is!" said the lan'lord, hastily retreatin' to his beer casks. "And yours!" shouted the excited female, address in me. "He_is also your brother." "No, I think not marm," I pleasantly replied.

Not long ago one of the broth ers entered the shop early in the morning and was duly shaved by a German who had been it work in the shop only for a day or two. - About noon= another brother came itt and underwent a similar opeiation at the hands of the sane barber. In the evening, the third brother Made his appearance, when the German dropped his razor in astonish hunt and exclaimed : " Vell, mine - Gott! dat man hash de Wildest beard I never saw ; I shaves him dis mornin', shaves him at dinner times, and he gomes back now mit beard so long as it never vests 1" Cus.ntorEEn, Paces.—We heard a good one the other day of a certain Colonel in the last war,which, we think, will bear repeating.
