THE COST OF A WIFE.

In Uganda you can get what you re-
quire for two or three bullocks, or
even for six good sewing needles, or
perhaps a box of percussion caps;
while inferior wives can be picked up
in exchange for coat, and, if one is
Indifferent to health and beauty, for a
pair Of shoes. In the Caroline islands
wives are cheap. A father will let
you marry his daughter if you will
give him a little fruit or small pres
ent of fish, while in Samao matrimony
runs you into pogs and canoes; among
the Fijians, into whales teeth and
muskets. In Tartary, it is best to
marry beneath you (you can do it on
a few pounds of butter), because a
man who has lordly notions of a mar
riage with one of the upper ten must
be an owner of horses. The aborig-
ines of Australia manage their mar
riages upon a most equitable principle.
If A wishes to marry BIS sister he al
lows him to marry his own; or if B
happens to be widower, then his
daughter will do just as well. One
of the most Objectionable forms of
gaining a wife is to work for her, a
habit practiced among many uncivil-
lied nations, its only advantage being
that man can get wife on credit,
though his father-in-law takes good
care that he serves his time.-Pall
Mall Gazette.
