Marriage Among the Austrinns
From q. Z. Fultou's Correspondence with Bll
mora American

From q. Z. Fultou's Correspondence Win B'ltl-
mora American
The ladies' of America, as we'll aa the genlle-
men, would be apt to enter into an earnest pro-
test against the system of marriage prevalent
all over the continent of Europe, but especially
in Austria. Young ladies' here, among the we'll
to-do and wealther classes, arc seldom allowed
to go into company until they are engaged to be
married They are not allowed in gong or COM
ing from school to have young galants to trot
along by their side, and carry their books and
whisper complimentary nothings in Their ears
They are mostly sent to boarding schools, ana
kept in such rigid seclusion that the sight OF a
man is almost novelty to them. IL allowed to
come home during vacation it ii under strict fam
ily guard but most OF them remain until their
education is inlshod and they haYe bud led ln-
to early womauhoOd. Both father and mother
then put their heads together and fix upon the
amount OF dover thoy will be wiling aud able to
give her on her wedding day. lhe next move
is to look for a suitable husband who VIII be
able to bring to the common stock similar
amount of hard cash. II they cfnuot find one
among their acqnantances to suit them, IN nil
respects, they call IN the services OF a profess
s!onal matrimonial agent, who is well posted as
to all the marriageable youag men in the mar
ket. He, or she, as it may be, keeps journal
of the marrAgeables, not only in Wen
ma, but in the provinces, and proceeds to nego-
Ii Ite with the parents of young men to receive
tho applicant AS their daughter.in-law, and
draws up the agreements and bonds necessary
for the security of the money part OF the trans
action. Sometimes the young lady is allowed to
see the gentleman selected rs her life partner
before the agreement is closed, but in most Ca
ses she must accept the choice Of her parents
Love comes after marriage in some case, but Ii
by no means general result
II the money part Of the contract is fulfilled
nothing is allowed to prevent the marriage, a.
this seems to be the main consideration. Ther'
are constant cases occurring here in Vienna
where the expected MARRIAGES. is either postponed
until the dowry is paid up or broken Off entirely
on account of failure to put up the money at tn
appointed time. The recent money crisis ha
led to many cases of abandonment, and ther
arc no broken hearts to be mended. Thus
marriage has nothing to do with love, but is
purely business transaction-a question OF dol
lars and cents. Children are often pledged T.
each other by their parents before they ente
ther teens are then allowed to mingle and forI
attachments, but this not often the case.
