CIRCASSIAN AND ARMENIEN WOMEN.
THEIR EDUCATION AND HABITS.
Baron Havthausen, in writing of the man
ner! and customs of the natives and races be
tween the Black Sea and tbe Caspian, says
that while he was atBambon, there lay in the
harbor, email Turkishvessel, which had been
seized by the armed boats of a Russian man-of
war steamer, manned, by Cossacks. On board
this tessel, beside the Turkish proprietor and
some tailors, was a' Circassian prince, as a
guest from the neighborhood of the fortress,
accompanied by two of his noble vassals, and
some servants, a ybune woman and six Circas
sian girls, from twelve lo fifteen years of age.
The master of the vessel was nrobablv a amutr-
gler, conveying food and ammunition to the
Circassians, and taking as return a freight of
Circassian gi(U lor the slave market at Con
stantinople. Thia Circassian prince might
have wished to make a voyage to Constantino
ple from 'political motives,. The. charee of
smuggling ammunition, which the Turk de
nied, could noi be proved; but the forbidden
traffic in girls was palpable, and hy the Rus
sian lawa Ihe vessel was confiscated. On in
quiry being made or the General how he in
tended tt dispose of the Circassians, he re
plied toat tney belonged to race with whom
Russia was at peace, and he abould therefore
set them free, after interprwing aotne ttifling
difficulties and exhortations. The writer fur
ther adda :
".Veanwhile. the son of the Prince had sr.
rived, to beg tbe liberation of his father. 1
accompanied the Circassian within the rayon
of the fortress, where an interesting scene fol
lowed. In announcing to the girls their liber
ation, the General oidered them to be inform
ed that the choice was opened to them to be
sent back to their homes with the prince of
tneirown race, or to marry Kussiansand Cos
sacks of their free choice, to return with me to
uermany, where til the women were tree, or
lastly, to accompany the Turkish captain, who
would sen them in the slave market at Con
stanlinople. The reader will hardly credit
that, unanimously and without a moment's
conaideration, they exclaimed: "To Constan
tinople to be sold!" There is scarcely any
people more proud and jealous of their liberty
and yet this was the voluntary answer of these
women,, ,
"If however, we investigate a little deeper
me view-, inougnis anu iisdiis 01 1111s eastern
people, Ihe answer will not appear unnatural.
but, in fact, accordant with their notions.
The purchase and sale of women is deenlr
rooted ia the customs of the people every
man buya Ms wife irom the father or from the
family.. On the partof the women no feeling
01 snnmt it aitacneu to the transaction, but
rather a sense of honor ; and, indeed, before
we can pronounce on the subject, we must be
intimately acquainted with the circumstances
and mutt be able to place ourselves exactly in
the position of the Circassians. In our own
country a uircassian girl lives in a slate of sit
vish deiendance on her father and brothers.
net potrttoa it tiioierore u wed when 1 man de
mands her in marriage, and stakes his fortune
to obtain her, at the same time that he liber
atet her frost the servile constraint of her fam
ly.
Amone Europeans, a rich man who marries
a poor girl, generally appears actuated bv com
passion she is congratulated on her good for
tune, whioh is sometimes offensive to a wo.
man's pride. If, on the contrary, a rich eirl
marries a poor man, sue purchases her husband
and this 11 humiliating to him. When two
marry who are equally well off.the match has
more or less, the nir of a mercantile transac
tion ; so that it might also appear aa if genuine
and disinterested affection could only be found
in a marriage between two poor persons. But
here again the motive is otien either one
mere passion, a need of mntual assistance and
attendance, or a wish to establish soperate
household. The eastern girl sees in her pur
chase-price the test of her own value
higher the offer the greater her worth. The
purchase of women b ing the common practice
among tbe Circassian, tribes; slave-dealers
whom they are sold are to be regarded simply
as agents, who dispose ot them in marriage
Turkey. Their parents know that a better
lot awaits them there than at home, and
girls willingly go to Turkey.where, nsthe traf
fic has existed for centuries, they constantly
meet their kindred. In their own homes.more
over, the Circassian'men are rongh and impe
rious, and .the women ore slaves to all kinds
drudrcrvand menial labor; whereas the Turk
is a patient and kind husband, and a tender
father.
"The young unmarried Armenian people,
both sexes, enjoy perfect liberty, within
jecpgnizeo limits of manners and propriety.'
Custom-is here precisely the reverse or wnat
prevails intthesurroumling countries. 'Whilst
in the latter, tjie purchase of q wife.is.ttoonly
usual form of contracting a ma rrigeantil which
time the girl remains in peifectseaTusioniamong
the Armenians, on the contrary, the young
people of hoih sexes enjoy fire social inter
course. The girls go where thry like unveilad
and bareheaded. The young men carry
their love suits freely and openly, and marria
ges of affection are of common occurrence.
But with marriage the scene changes; the word
which the young woman pronounces at
altar, in accepting her husband, is the last
18 for long time heard from her lips, from
that moment she never appears even in
own house.unreiled. rhe is never seen abroad
(n the public streets, except when she goes
church, which is only twice in the year,
then closely veiled.' If n stranger enters
bouse or garden, she instantly conceals herself.
With no person, not even her rather or brother
is she allowed to exchange t singlo Word;
she speaks to her husband only when they
alone. With the rest 01 the household
can communicate onlyby gestures, and by talk
ing on her fingers. This silent reserve, which
custom imperatively pretcribes.the young wife
miintains until she has borne her first child,
from which period she becomes gradually
emancipated from her constraint; shespesks
her new born in ant; then nermotber-m-law
it the first person the may address, after
while she is allowed, to converse wift her
mother, then with her sister-in-law. and after
wards with her own sisters. Now she begins
to talk with the young girls in the house,
always in a gentle whisper, that none of
male part of the family may hear what is said.

THEIR EDUCATION AND HABITS. Short of a Watch.
Mr. Jacob Short, on hit way liottir- from
lecture, in which he had been much interest
ed, fall In with a well dressed gentleman who
addressed a casual inquiry to himi From this
inquiry proceeded an animated conversation,
in which Mr. Short became so much interested
that he parted front his new acquaintance with
regret.
A moment afterwards, being desltous of
learning the time, he felt for hia watch. To
hia consternation he found it was gone. He
at once bethought himself of tht common prac
tice of adroit pickpockets to put on the guise
of gentlemen, in Older to facilitate their oper-
tions. Ufcouse his suspicions rested tn ms
late acquaintance. Luckily be. was in sight
lie ran after him with a hasty step, and suc
ceeded in overtaking him.
'Surrender that watch I' taid lie, in 1 de
termined tone, 'or the consequence be upon
our own bead.'
The gentlemen, or pickpocket, turned pale,
and looked for 0 moment as if he were inclin
ed to resistance, but the resolute tone and
bearing of Mr. Short Intimidated him, and he
yielded to the requisition.
Mr. Short went home congratulating himself
on the courage be had displayed.
He related the adventure to Ins wile, who
instead of praising bim, as he anticipated she
wonld, exclaimed:
.Why, Jacob, what hare you done ! Yonr
own watch is lying on tbe table where you
left it before going to the lecture. That I
should live see my dear husband a pickpocket-'
Jacob sat down in trepidation. It was
11 true. He had actually committed a high
way robbery, when, as he imagined, he had
only recovered his atolen property.
He slept but lit le that night.. Visions 0!

when returning from, a lecture last evening,
was violently, assaulted by a straneer nnd

tion. He at length bethouijht himself to send
his wife with the watch tt the Rev. Mr. C,
with a plain statement of the mistake which
had occurred, and with a request,! hat he would
cause the matter lo be dropped immediately.
The negotiation proved successful, and Short
was relieved from his terror. It need not be
raid that Mr. Short has not attempted highway
robbery since tins memorianie occasion, hav

way of the transgressor is hard.'
