The patents brincr tlieir marriageable
daughters, with each one her little dower
accompany inz her, loaded up in a small
c.irt. This dower is of coarse propor

Thus fitted out, every girl w ho desires
to nnJ a husband, betakes herself to the

perhaps forever, and bids her mother adieu,
quite ignorant of what roof is to shelter,
fr what fate awaits her at her journey's
end. As to her fortune, it is in the little
cart that attends her. The object of her
journev is never mistaken, nobody won
ders at it, nor is there occasion for public
otlicers to make record of the deed. Oa
the other hand, the youths who wish to
procure themselves wives, hasten to the
