i Dancing! At tlteYery sound of the
vord, the Hood leaps more cheerily
through the reins, the faee brightens,
tiie steplighteti3. The man or woman
r earj with physical toIL Trho comes at
eTening into the dxacirig gronp, and
Listens to the merry notes of the -violin,
feels, at once, the heaviness of his
fatigue lifted from him, and l.e can join
fcr an hoar in the dance frith positive
refreshment to his aching muscles, and
retire to hi3 ted less weary, and enjoy
a sweeter sleep, than if he had gone
cirec tly from his worlu.
The person of setlentary. He is bene-
ied even more thai the ether, ty this
amusement.- He riee'Zf the musctdar
t.zercue, and a3 his movements Larmo
lize with the inspiring music, his whale
nature, physical, social, and spiritual,
jsbrcnghtintomoreharmonious action.
For iheiJiinker, no other in-door ex
ercise, relaxation, or amnscment equals
this It diverts the rs.ijid from severe
thought, while it pleasantly occupies
it it affords brisk rnnifcular exercise,
it cultivates sociability, it fosters one
i)f the most rennin r and softening ele
ments in our H2.tnre the love cf
mnsic
It is an amusements which affords
equal pleasure and equal benefit to the
young, and eld, :md mldHe-sged.
Thus bringing all ages into close prox
imity, each is benefitted by. contact
with the other; the old, by the elastici
ty and hilarity of vonth; the voun;,
by the decorum aid prudence' cf age.
And yet religion, as developed and
illustrated in our s:ge. decides that the
devil shall have all the dmcinc, and vir
tuallv, sends all who will have dancing,
to the dsvil after it.. Churches andSy-
nodsmd presbytenjes and other eccl esi
astical holies rholdgravediscussions on
the subject, and .'Vfsare" that it is
"sinful7 to dance and "advise" their
members to abstain from Lt themselves,
to forbid it to their children, and dis
countenance and discourage it in the
wcrld,- and so dancing is considered
i irreligious, and professors of religion
foams. lut tne young are more im
pulsive, and for then to dance seems
almost "an instinct. "When they get
one taste of it, they are sure to covet
another. Many have their conscien
tiousness and firmness so trained and
developed that they can deny them
selves' any pleasure wliich they believe
to be wrong. . But hundre-ils andthou
Eands of youth,, sons and- daughters,
too. of pious fathers and mothers, iciil
dance, though it were" on the edge of
rum; they can not dance -in taeir
father's parlors they will go where
they can to the ball-room, where thev
mingle with such companions and such
j, associations -as cluster round public
Monetises.'" And as the opportunity to
dance . is not very irequecuy crjovea?
they wish to make ths time as long .as
possible, and oftca dance cn tillmcm-

Whit a thin ia snnt ind the C3m

bent on me is that I should. put forth

of this power a cool and exact obser
vation is unnecessary; but the moment

To- fill our minds, we require the
ideal over and above the actual; and
the mere fact that a certain thing is
the actual business of life, divests it at
once of the beautf and sublimity after
which we long. Poetry Is purely spirit
ual, and the moment we blend with it
any mercantile associa tions its essence
is jrone.- I do not bilieve " that anv
