CURIOSITIES OF MARRIAGE.
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

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.
[The following epistle from the lamented
Artemus Ward, has only been recently gixen
to the public. it Is generally known that

A ]►ttuen s •Ptrzt.zEn.—Three brothers,
bearing a remarkable resemblance to one an
other, are in the habit of shaving at the same
barber shop. 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

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.
The Colonel aforCsaid was riding in a stage
coach, with several .other passengers, when
he accidentally dropped his hat outside the
mach: Putting his head outside of the win
dow, he exclaimed in a stentorian voice:
"Charioteer, pause. _I have lost my cha
peau!" No attention being paid by the dri
ver to this command, a plain, blunt man,who
had become disgusted with his fellow travel
er's silliness and pomposity, put his head out
of the window, and said: " Driver,- hold on !
this d—d fool has lost his hat' This was
perfectly intelligible to,thedriver,and the hat
was secured.
STONEWALL JACESON.-WilliANl Swinton
describes, in the New York Times, a visit to
the grave of Stonewall Jackson, in Lexing
ton,lPirginian. Ile says " A simple slab is
at the head, with Only 'the name, Gen. Thos.
.J. Jackson,' and at his feet a stone with the
initials T. J. J.' A garland of flowers lay
on the grave; and in nay heart I could feel
no other emotion than one of tender interest
in such proofs of affection. Certainly he was
an extraordinary man ; and standing by his
grave this evening I seemed to realize that

conducted the war to a succ.etedial issue on
the part of the South."

a misfortune to be born poor, or not to have
capital enough to establish themselves at the

may judge from what we daily behold, it is a

Most rich men's sons die in poverty, *idle
