THE LABIES’ FRIEtf ‘X
Histfrirnl extract—and application .
The Roman Republicans were
jdain men and women, accustom- \
ed to daily labour, Si quite unac- l
customed to Raery of apparel, or 1
luxury of living. A Roman of
even noble blood tilled his little
&eld with his own hands, and
proud of tilling it with superior
industry and skill; whilst his la
dy, if a lady she might be called,
made it her chief ambition to be
an excellent house wife. While Ij
this state of things lasted, and a
very long time it did last, the Ro-!,
mans were eager enough to get!
themselves wives. Theymarri-i.
ed generally, and they married
young; for they thought, and well j
they might, that who so found a j
wife, found a good thing—a real !■
help-mate, as well as a dear and i,
faithful companion.— And what!
is singularly remarkable if true, j 1
it is recorded by a Roman histo
rian, that there had not been
known, in the city of Rome, a sin
gle instance of divorcement during
the whole space of five hundred
years; though the law had put it j
t\ the power of the husband to, 1
repudiate his wife almost at plea-j
sure.
Unfortunately for the Roman !
republic, and more especially for
the female part of it, a great and
splendid event quite changed the
morals, the taste, the habits, and
The whole of the country. One
hundred and ninety years before
the Christian era, the Romans for
1. e fx’-st time, entered into Asia
with an army, which under Sci
pio, defeated h conquered An
tiochus the Great, Kang of Syria:
and from thence they brought
home such a taste for the luxu
ries of the East, as promoted and
hastened the rain ol their c.-Tiii
■ non wealth; and in noway more
direct, -thanUy a
dattctrsf marriage.
Trie Roman women once so
plain, frugal and industrious, be
came enamoured of the costly fi
rnery that was brought from the
! East. One of them named Lul
lia Paulina, when dressed in ail
her jewels, is said to have worn
to the value of three hundred and
thirty two thousand pounds'ster
ling And though this was the
| most extraordinary instance of the
j time, yet it is reasonable, to sup
pose that, of the rest of the ladies
every one strove to get as near to
the topof the fashion as she could ;
and that, with all the females who
thought any thing of themselves,
the rage was to be fine and fash
ionable.
This neworder of things, while
it precipitated the republic into
the abyss of ruin, brought mar
riage into disuse ; insomuch that
Augustus, the first Roman Em
peror, finding among the men a.
general disinclination to marry,
was fain to pass severe penal laws,
to force them as it were info the
bonds of matrimony. But it was
all to little purpose. Despot Ik
tyrant as he was, he found it im
possible to compel the batchalors
to marry, as Peter the best, long
since did, to compel the Russians
to shave off their beards.—Was!
it owing to the licentiousness of!
the men ? Considerably, it was,
no doubt; but not altogether, ft
was partly owing to their pru
dence. A Roman Batchelor na
turally enough would commune
with himself thus ; 44 these extra
vagant flirts of whose attire a sin
gle article costs more than one of
them would earn in her whole life
time, are fu only for show. 1 like
mighty well to be in their com
pany at routs and assemblies ;
but the gods save me from an u
nion with any of them ! If f mar
ry, unless she bring me a fortune
with her she will quickly devour
mine. Wherefore I will look out
for number one only, in spite of
the edicts of the Emperor.”
Consider, ye American Fat&
that in ail times and countries the \
like causes will produce the like
effects.
