Be KIND TO THE OLD. BE kind 10 those
who are in the autumn of human life, for
thou knowest not what The sufferihgs they
may have endured or how much it may
still be their portion obear. Are they que.
rulous or unreasennblel Allow no; thine
anger TO kindo against them; rebuke them
not, for doubtless many and severe have
been the crosses and trials Of earlier years;
and perchance their dispositions, while in
the spring time Of life, were more gentle and
flexible Their thine own. Do they require
aid oc thee1 Then render it cheerluly.
and forget moi that the time may come when
thou mayesl desire the same assistance
from others, that thou rendercsl unto them.
Do all that is needful for the old. and do it
with alaeriiy, and think il not hard if MUCH
is required al thine hands, lest when age
has set lis seal upon THY brow, and filled
thy limbs with trembling, others may wait
upon thee unwilingIy, and feel relieved
when the coffin lid has covered thy face
forever. 4't.

Mas. SwIssHELM ON DANCING The fol-
lowing remarks are from the piquant pen
Of Mrs. Swisshelm:
some curious fact we have observed
with regard to dancing. This is, the more
deeply church or individual professor is
stepped in The spirit Of moneygrabbing, or
intemperance,the greater their adherence Of
dancing. This appears to be kind Of con-
venient scupegoat on which The sins Of the
congregation are laid, that they may be
borne in the wilderness, Let The preacher
at any time submit to a gag which shall, on
some special occasion, forbid his opening
his mouth for the dumb, or reproving a
wealthy disliller or fat usurer, who grinds
the poor TO pay pew rent; and forthwith we
get fresh anathema on dancing, Show us
wealthy deacon's wife who will haggle
with widow to get washing done for twelve
and half cents dozen, and then pay her
in trade, or give two dimes and four cop
pers for twenty-five cents, and we will show
you one who will take spasm over the in:
iquities Of a coullion. We never knew The
rule to fail, and have watched its workings
SO long that whenever any one begins q
lecture on dancing we suspect him or her
of being worshpper Of mammon. Old
Christian, in his long journey, danced for
JOY bu, the man with the muck.rake was TOO
busy. NoIhing appears better calculated to
contend with the hard, money.loving spirit
Of our age, than music and dancing. 1t
tends TO melt this hard crust which the dust
of ledgers forms around The hearts Of our
people, and there is no place to which we
should go with a subscription paper for q
charitable object with more hope Of success
Than social party where all were dane ~

bone"
