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. t ßoston Evening Gazette.
