A Privilege.

Men have not always held the exclus
Isive right of popping the question y
An Israelitish widow had by law pow.
er of claiming in marriage the brother
of her deceased husband, in which case,
as the privilege Of the male was trans,
ferred to the female, that of the female
was likewise transferred to the male,
He had the power of refusing; the re>
fusal. however, was attended by some
mortifying circumstances; the woman
whom he had thus sighted was to come
unto him in the august presence of the
elders of the city, and to loose the shoe
from his foot and spit in his face. A
custom somewhat similar to this remains
at present among some Of the Indian
tribes. When the wife dies the hus,
band is obliged TO marry the sister, or
in her stead the woman whom the fam
lily of the deceased wife shall choose for
him, In the State of New Granada
the right of asking is promiscuouslyex-
ercised by both sexes, who, whoh they
feel the passion oflove, declare it with
out the least embarrassment and among
the Cossacks the same thing is. said to
be carried on still further, and the wo-
men more generally court than the men.
They are ardent woers, and oftentimas
will not be denied. When a young la
dy falls in love with az man, she is not in
the least ashapaed to go to his fathers
house and reveal her passion in the
most pathetic manner, and promise sub !,
nllssive obedience if he will accept her
for wife. Should the man pretend
any excuse, she tells him she is resolved
never to go out of the house till he gives
his consent; and accordingly takes up
her lodging there. IT he obstiuately re,
fuses her, his case becomes exceedingly
distressing the church is commonly on
her side. and to turn her out would pro,
woke all her kindred to revenge her
honor; so he yields or flies. Sill an.
other method of securing a life partner
was practiced by the women OF Thes-
sally, who gave love potions to the men
they desired which were SO violent in
their operation as for some time to de
priye the person who took them of sense.
