Curiosities of Marriage
Marriage is the first and most ancient of
all institutions. As the foundation of so
ciety and the family, it is universally ob
served throughout the globe, no nation
having been discovered, however barbar
ous, which does not celebrate the union of
the sexes by ceremony and rejoicing. The
abuses of the institution, as polygamy, in
fidelity and divorce, having in no manner
touched its "existence, however they may
have vitiated its purify.
The condition of Women in all countries
has afforded a fruitful theme for the obser
vation of the traveler, and the speculations
of the phi'osopher and the novelist. It has
been uniformly found that the savage is
the tyrant of the female, sex, while the po
sition and consideration given to woman is
advanced iii proportion to the refinement
of m n i.i 1 life. Under the laws of Lycur
gus, N uuia, and even later law-givers, the
power ot the husband over the wife was
absolute, sometimes even including the
power of life and death. The wife, was al
ways defined arid treated as a thing, not
a person the absolute property of her
lord. In the earlier ages a man might sell
his i .-liildr.cn or his wife indifferently, and
relics of this rude custom still survive, even
among nations railed civilized and Chris
tian. In the countries of the East, where po
lygamy is almost universal, marriage is
not the - acred tie which it is held to be in
Christian countries. In Persia met
rv either tor life or for a determinate
Travelers or merchants commonly- Zpplv
t-d very fine women, were of this massive
kind.
In Italy, matches are made with prover
bial levity, and marriage vows, if report
speaks trulyv are easily broken. Young
virgii.s are systematically bartered and
sold by their parents, and young people
are married every day who never saw one
another before. Concubinage is a. constant
remedy for these ill-advised and deceitful
marriages, and the peculiarly Italian term,
cieisbio, indicate the indemnity which cus
tom prescribes for the fair sex fettered to
husbands unlovt d.
In France," as has often been remarked,
women monopolize all the society and a
Urge share of the business of life. The
coffee houses, the theatres, the shops, the
cabarets, or drinking shops are filled with
n omen lord it at all assemblies,
and are better informed and more capable
managers than men. Marriage w looked
upon not so murb as a matter of affection
as of interest, an J .the sncredness of the tie
is proportionately slender.
Man maw in Sweden is commonly govern
ed wholly by the will of the parents, and
is founded Upon interest. A stolen match
is almost unb aid of aad persons of either
sex seldom marry before the age of twenty -
or hirtjr Divorce are very rare.
Russia appears to be the most prepos
terous country in Europe in its treatment
of women. The nuptial ceremonies, all
