AncieHt and Modern old Maids.
[London Society,"
It will, perhaps, rather startle manylof the
sex to learn that some illustrious fathers
of the church have held the doctrine that
''when our progenitors were first created,
it was the intention of heaven that Eve her
self should become an old maid" Aud
further, that, according to st. Romuafd,
Eve herself, in the ninety ninth year of the
world, instituted q religious order of certain
young women who were to continne
virgins, and to preserve unextinguished the
fire which had fallen from heaven on the
sacrifice of Abel. The latter myth is evil
IDENTIFY identical with that of the origin of
the Vestal Virgins of Rome. Then we
have the story of Kunaza, the most beauti-
! full of all the ninety-and-three daughters OF
Enoch. who sin the two hundred and ninety
! first year Of her age, rejected the last offer
that was made to her of marriage" and
remained single to her death. Passing
from mythical traditions to history, the
author mentions a fact worth noticing that
throughout the entire history of the Jews
there is no record of the existence of any
one distinguished old maid. Nor was
spinsterhood held IN any more favor among
the Greeks and Romans, though the honor
and respect paid to Diana, Minerva and
the Vestal Virgins would seem to imply
that under certain circumstances old
maids were tolerated. But after tn e Chris
tian era, as our author points out with
much learning and ingenuity, there was an
''infnite decrease of old maids" The
whole sex seems to have been infamed
with a passion for virginity, which was
eagerly fostered by many of the most dis
| tinguished fathers of the church.
