Married MT, .Dloyei many privileges that weie
denied TO bachelors. Those who had three Chill
dren were entitled to great mmuniiies; and such a
had four were exempt from all taxation. There
was one thing denied, however, to the husband,
that il thought quite desideratum now days !;
the wife brought the husband no inheritance. The
reasons for thi. these; If the wife married
for her money, there danger Of want OF suf-
fcient attachment from the husband to render the
match happy one; and if the wife married
without any property then there YVES no conside-
ton why the husband should love her at all. This
leads to the conclusion that it was improper the vile
should have any thing. These are distractions in
the way to wife, however. which the improve
men,s of modern times have very happily removed,
and the contrary Of these reasons holds now almost
| invariably true.
There was other clause in the law regulating
old bachelors, among the Spartans tina, must strike
terror into the hardest heart: 1t requires forth
tude sufficient to Withstand the shock of an earth
quake even to- read it. Clearchus says there was
one festival at which, the bachelors being chained
to the altar, the women were permitted TO fog
them into submission, that they might be con-
strained, either from feelings of shame pain, TO
take wife But this is quite too bad. With
what courage could sit down and witness the tor
rre and agony of friend, under the discipline OF the
sirappado, / know not. My heart n,els like wax
even at the picture. To witness. with any degree
OF composure, some twenty, perhaps nifty, niurate
and disappointed old maids, rushing like torrent
upon my best friend, the unh'ppy object OF their
bitter displeasure, upbraidng him for his cruel neg
lect of them, plying the whip without mercy, must
require effort of forlitude much beyond the mea-
sure OF il to mortals.

,ion of old bachelors, which will appear next week.
Some measures must be adopted 10 thin them off.
Their number begins TO increase and multiply TO an
alarming extent. 1t may not be improper to re-
commend them to the consideration OF the Colonial
