Ask me . On the practice of purchasing wives , Deut. Lam. Roque says , "Properly speaking , a young man who would marry must purchase his wife; and fathers among the Arabs are never so happy as when they have many daughters. They form part of the riches of the house. Accordingly , when a young man would treat with a person whose daughter he is inclined to marry , he says to him , Will you give me your daughter for fifty sheep , for six camels , or for a dozen cows?' according to the rank of her family , and the circumstances of him who desires to marry her."

hearkened . In thus falling into this measure , the Shechemites must either have had great affection for their chief and his son , or have been under the influence of the most passive obedience. The petty princes of Asia have always been absolute and despotic; their subjects paying them the most prompt and blind obedience. The following instance will sufficiently illustrate and confirm this statement . Abu Thaher , chief of the Carmathians , about the year 930 , with only 500 horse , went to lay siege to Bagdad . the khalif's general marched out to seize him; but before the attack , sent an officer to summon him to surrender. "How many men has the khalif's general?" said Abu Thaher; "30 ,000 ," replied the officer. "Among them all ," says the Carmathian chief , "has he got three like mine?" Then ordering his followers to approach , he commanded one to stab himself , another to throw himself from a precipice , and a third to plunge into the Tigris . all three instantly obeyed , and perished! Then turning to the officer , he said , "He who has such troops need not value the number of his enemies!"
