LUYLYG WIFES. The Babylonians had a Ian, 'vhich was also followed by the Hcneti, an lllyrian people, and :y ilrrudntr.3 thought to be one ?f tilth Ijcst, which ordained that v.h-n irls were of a mar-ria-.:eablo ae,they were to repair at a certain time to a place where the young nun likewise assembled. They were then sold by the. public crier, who first disposed of the most beautiful one. When he had sold 'iit. he put up others to sale,

according to their decrees of beauty. The rich Babyloni ans were emulous to carry off the finest woman, who were sold to the highest bidders. But as the young men who w ere poor could not aspire to have a fine woman, they were content to takcthe ugliest, with the money that was given with them; for when the crier sold the handsomest, he ordered the ugliest of all of them to be brought, and enquired if any one was willing to take her with a small sum of moncv. Thus sh became the wife of him who was the most easily satisfied; ai'd thus the finest women were S" d. and from the money which they brought, small fortunes Were given to the ugliest, and to those who had a,v bodily deformity. A father could not marry a daughter as he pleased, nor was he v. ho bought her allowed te take her home without giving security that he would marry her. But, after th - sale, if the panics were not agreeable to each other, the law enjoined th t the purchase ruunev should be rf3tored. SCH A PS. Men of the noblest disposi tions think themselves happiest when others share with them in ;!u ir happiness . He who foresees calamities, suffers them f ice over.

In the morning still rccuning his head on the pillow ot straw, he beheld n spider climbing up a beam to the roof. The insect fell to the ground, but immediately made a second effort to asrend. This attracted the notice of the hero; who with regret, saw the spider fill a second time, from the san mine. ice. It made a third unsuc cctsful ! mpi. Not without m mixtuit of concm and curiosity, tbe monarch twelve times beheld the insect battled in itc aim; but the thirteen h S9ay was crowned with success.
