ON DANCING.

| III L tCh, III oIie oI MS lectures on the uses
Of the lungs, and on the mode of preserving
! health, says:
Dancing Is the king and queen of indoor ex-
ercise. II is suitable for all casse 5 for all ages
| both sexes. 1t is a most elegan, and most ex-
/ hlliretlng exercise. Ii is the most ancient and
one of the most salutary. | do not speak of il
as dissipation, but as an exhilirating and val
liable exercise. Among the exercises it is Sec
| ond to none. 1t is extremely suitable for the
sedentary, for invalids, and for consumptiyes. |
/ have known one of the worst cases of consump-
ton ever knew, cured by dancing alone ,practiced
daily for many months. The cure was perma-
nent and complete.
: 1t is deplorabe that dancing and amusements
of nearly all kinds should have fallen under the
ban of the clergy, and should be preached against
as sinful. 1t Is doubtful whether the morals of
mankind are benefited by forbidding amusements,
and ii is most certain the health of thousands is
! sacrificed by it. Who are those that sink ear
Hest into consumption among ladies'. Allow me
to say, it is those who take least exercise, and
refrain from all amusemenis who at school,
! at church, at home are marked as models -
whose looks are demure, whose walk is slow
and whose conversation is always on serious
subjects.
In few years death does his work, and their
long prayed for heaven is soon obtained No
greater truth was ever uttered, than that.
"Religion designed.
To make our pleasures less"
Neither in letteI nor in spirit does our happy
and blessed religon--the religion Of our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ, TO whom be eternal
praise and obedience, anywhere forbid pure, ra-
| tional pleasures & qualification. use the things
ofthis world as not abusing them,' in the injunc-
ton of the Apostle, aud is complete summary of
all the teachings of the bible upon this subjects.
ALI DE REso,UrroSs.-Not long since,
missionary meeting was held among the negroes
in the West Indies at which the three following
| resolutions were passed:
| We will all give something:
! We will all give as God has enabled Us
We will all give willingly.
! AT the close of the meeting leading negro
took his seat at the table, in order to mark down
the sum each came TO give. A large number
came and laid their contributions upon the table,
some more or less. Among the number who
came up. was rich old colored man, as rich as
the others put together who threw down on the
| table silver coin.
| Take dat back agin," said the African re-
! ceiver of the money, seated at the table. dat
| may be accordin to de fust resolution but not
accordin' to de second"
The rich old man accordingly took it up, and
! hobbIed back to his seat in a rage. One al
ter another came forward, and almost all giving
more than himself. He was fairly ashamed and
again threw down piece of money on the table,
saying,
'Dar, take dat %
1t was valuable piece of gold, but it was Civ
en- so ill-temperedy, that the man at the table

mo, dat don't do yet. 1t may be accordin to
do fuSt and second raSoIntiopS hut
to de last" and the old man again took up his
! COIN
Still ANNOYED at himself all around him, he
sat long time, till nearly all were gone, and
then came to the table and with pleasant coun-
tenance gave large sum to the treasurer The
receiver, as he marked down the amount, ex-
claimed, "We den, dat am aecordn, TO all de
resolution"
Miss Susan Nipper who lives in small tenc-
ment, lone woman, was quite illustrated" the

tive, if she wants anything, It's capacity but for

"No, madam" replied the mother "but
