CHfYALRY AND MATRIMONY.
Time Honorcd Notions of Oldcn Days
Which Don't Stnnd tho Icst


Which Don't Stand tho Test
We all want 20 consider the DAYS of
chiyalry us tho golden days-nevcr to
be rccallcd-for womankind. This is by
implication IL rank injustice to our own
time.
With all its fine expressions of ardent
devotion to the fair Sex and the multi
tudc of its exquisite prctensiOns, chival-
~ was the degradation of the highest
and tendorcst human instincts-thc YER
liable curse of the course of true love
Such Il statement presents itself TO the
romantic believer as IL terrible counter
blast, but II is true, nevertheless. The
records OF the treasury and the law
courts of those days, i'll furnishing the
experience of popular life deeply marked
by the worst shades of modern short
comings. provide the fullest proof.
Chivalry did not mako marriages. az
least i'll the sense of those born of loves
young dream; it entirely ignored all
sexual affections and sold its victims
with ruthless Indifference to all mutu-
ali,y.
Tliore were not two parties to its ba,-
gains. There was OILY one, who was III

ings OF the inpassi0ncd. bur III ii pecun.
ialy sense of their value He was the
vendcr and might be either king or
baron. Bat whichever he was, he was
the incarnation of INSCRIPTIONS power.
The matrimonial transactions of Chiv-
airy We're mcrcCnary. To them there
were no contracting parties i'll the
shape of whispering lovers, ardent
SWANS and coy maidcns. On the other
hand. there WIS but sullcn Indifference
OF hating compliance. Chivalry can;cd
about its faith i'll women and the purity
Of its own motives, because it could not
sing Of love. 1t may he said that it so
canted because it knew it must can't
1t knew that its marriages had not
been made i'll heaven and of ethereal
sentiment. They We're coarsely bargain
ed fer. either in the king S exchcquer or
i'll the open market place. Chivalry knew
itself as IL social falsity and the parent
OF lust. AS II consequence the lower
orders" have had to give us the nompn-
claturc of or love affairs. Chauccr, the
very mirror Cf the era of chivallv, has
typitCd lus, with his master hand,
but he has no picture of the gratificd
tenderness of longing youth. In his sur
roundingS it was not suffered to exist.
These surroundings had no terms to
cnumcrttc the ardent SWANS and coy
maidcns of rusticity. But if the arts
tocr;icy cam produce no one instance OF
the coy maiden, and the rustic sweet
heart remains TO mock the dubious
fianccc, II has Il wealth of the arts Of
diplomacy, and IN incXhaustible list Of
the terms of intrigue. Chivalry gave OK
