The editor of the Boston Gazette, in noticing an article in the Journal of Health, on the subject of dancing says: "Our young ladies are said to dance we--bas no one can cast his eye over our ball rooms without feeling ashamed of the slovenly, lazy, un- graceful. clownish, lack-a-aaical lumpish, flat or leaden-footed, timber-kneed mode of dancing of una. ny ofthos who esteem themselves the mos, tonnish young men. To these dandies, dancing is any thing bat an exercise of the muscles; anal the influence of this half walking, hacrawIing mode of dancing their partners and opposes, is appalling and disgusting to oil those ladies' who disposed display the graesa of pirouete, to enjoy the delightful emotions of well performed waltz.
