Increase OF Ceiibncy IN France.


The increase OF celibacy in France,
and especially in Paris, is still a sub.
ject OF discussion. The government
which wants soldiers, the manufac-
tuTerS who want hands, the farmers
who want laborers, and last, but not
least, the women who want husbands,
ask everybody, ask each other, ask in
perplexiLy and CONSERVATION, "Why
don't the men marry?" Pere Hyacinth
breaches against celibacy at Notre
Dame; the newspapers preach against
It ut the street corners; yet, as one of
them despairingly remarks, in an
hours walk from the Madeline to the
Bastile, one may now meet at least a
hundred thousand bachelors.
In former times, continues the writer,
an unmarried man was obliged to ex-
haust his ingenuity in framing excuses
for his condition. "Alas, am yet the
victim of betrayed affection" ALAS,
my villain of a notary has made away
with all my fortune" "Alas, 1 am
like Werther, 1 ain in love with a
woman who is already married I"
Alas, have suffered much" "Alas,
am like Antony, 1 dare not mention
the name OF her L love-" But no one
ever dared to avow his final impeni-
tence, he appealed TO the compassion of
his friends for temporary misfortune,
and they, cIedulous, were willing to
AhC pun lGiAO"Y ne Is q
bachelor in spite OF himselfI'
But all that is changed now. From
the top to the bottom OF the social scale
comes the unblushing asseveration. ~
am bachelor, have been a bachelor,
and always will be bachelor" and
reasons are as fertile as formerly ex-
cuses. 81 will not marry, because L
want to extend my youth to nv last
days" 81 will not marry, because in
1867 it costs too much to dress wife. /"
II will not marry, because want to
have peace at home" 81 will not
marry, because L want to be able to
spend the evening where please with
out being Obliged to give an account of
myself" 81 will not marry, because 1
dread a mother-in-law more than
hydrophobia and earthquake"
The writer who laments these facts.
WAKES learned, and remembers that in
Sparta celibacy was considered a dis
grace, and that at certain yearly festi-
val it was the custom for the women to
drive all bachelors out of the temple OF
Venus with myrtle branches gathered
on the borders of the Eurotas. As GER
tain difficulties stand in the way OF the
revival of this classic custom, it is pro-
posed TO impose an annual tax, instead.
upon all unmarried men.
