DANCING

The following was published some time since;
at u'c request 81 n friend. We rc-inser it.
DANCING.
Not a single text in the old or New
Testament prohibits, or even indicates
disapproba,ion Of dancing--an amuse.
ment which in all ages and countries has
been and still is, 50 universal, that il
might be deemed a natural propensi
~. Certain il is that dancing has been
encouraged by many wise and pious di-
vines, as the most unexceptionable re :
taxation OF youth. The ball room
keeps numbers of young men from the
gaming table, and from convivial ex-
cesses; and brings both sexes together
under circumstances the most favorable
to docorum. Two remarkable instan-
ces Of dancing being encouraged by
eminent divines shalt be adduced; and
Il cannot be doubted that the names of
DR.. Edward Young, the amiable poet
Of Night Thoughts. and Of Fenelon,
the writer Of 'Telemachus,' who pro
noted or sanctioned dancing, will suf-
flee to justify our opinion that no pre-
cept Of Christianity forbids an exercise
in itself salutary, and under proper re-
gulation, strictly consistent with puri-
ty Of morals. and dignity Of mind and
manners. lfany text Of Scripture i'm
piled disspprobation Of dancing, the
learned. talented and pious divines We
have cited could not fail to discern the
interdict; and all their writings and
conduct afford ample testimony that
they would not have disobeyed it. 1t
is we'll known fact that DR.. Edward
Young BY his influential exertions es-
tablished dancing assemblies at Wei
wyn; and when lady cxpostulated
with him against the undue license, he
replied" My dear madam, l know
not Of any law of God or man against
dancing, and l know that it is an im-
Portant part Of my duty as clergy
man, to make evident to young people
that the religious character is not onl y
best and wisest, but likewise permits
OF every harmless enjoyment" A
priest represented to the Archbishop
Of Cambray his own remarkable sue
cess in deterriDg his flock from the idle
practice Of dancing: "My friend"
said Fenelon, sit would be unseemly
for a srey-headed ecclesiastic TO dance;
but let Us not suppose We shall render
our people more unfit for worldly duties.
nor for the joys Of heaven BY dcprivins
them VI harmless solace 10 their cares.
Let US earnestly inculeatc the doc
trines and precepts OF christianity, but
let us beware Of making religion the
instrument Of gloomy fanaticisn, in
imposing restraints not expressly com
manded by the divine Author and F,n.
isher Of our faith. This would not be
Christian, but Phsrasaical.
