DANCING A MORAL AGENT. = Mrs.

DANCING MORAL AGENT. = Mrs.
Dr. Harriet X. Hunt says:
That beautiful, graceful accomplish
ment of dancing, SO perverted by late
hours and the indecency of fashionable
attire, has outraged many sensible peo-
pie and led them to deprive the young
of one Of the most simple and healthful
enioyments, because it has been abused.
For myself, l can testify not only to its
healthful, but its recuperatiye power
The fortieth and fiftieth year of my age
found me enjoying the life-cheering ex-
ercise 1t should be one of the best
AMI earliest amusements of children,
and care should be taken by parents
that it is understood as an amusement.
Dancing is heaIthful, beautiful, grace
full recreation, and is not responsible for
the abuses luxury has thrown around it.
The vulgarism and excitements of the
ball room have no more to do with the
simple enjoyment Of the dance than the
rich vines and sumptuous banquets OF
the gourmand, in whom they induce
disease, have to do With the temperate
repasts that satisfy the natural wants Of
the body.

for the great disparity in the results Of

SYMPATHY FOR THE FALLEN.-For
my part confess | have not the heart
to take an offending man or woman from
the general crowd of sinful, erring be-
ings, and judge them harshly. The lit
tie have seen of the world and know
of the history of mankind, teaches me to
look upon the errors of others in sorrow,
not IN anger. When [ take the history
of the poor heart that has sighed and
sufered, and represent to myself the
struggles and temptations it has passed,
the brief pulsation of joy, the feverish
inquietude of hope and fear, the tears of
regret, the feebleness of purpose, the
pressureof want, the desertion Of friends,
the scorn of the world that has but little
charity, the desolation of the souls
sanctuary, and the threatening voice
within; health gone, even hope, that
stays longest with us, gone, have little
heart for aught else but thankfulness,
that it is not so with me, and would fain
leave the erring soul Of my fellow being
with Him from whose hands it came.

Gutta Peroha and India Rubber.

The different properties and qualities
of these two sustances are more distinc-
tive than is commonly supposed. Gut
ia percha, when immersed in boiling wa
ter, contracts considerably in bulk In
dia rubber, when immersed in boiling
water, expands, and very materially y in
creases in bulk. Gutta percha juice is
of dark brown color, and consolidates
in few moments after exuding from
the tree, when it becomes as hard as
wood; India rubber sap is perfectly
white, and of about the consistency of
thick cream; when it coagulates it gives
from four to six parts water out of ten.
Gutta percha, first treated with water,
alcohol, and ether, and then dissolved
with spirits of turpentine and precipita-
ted, yields a substance consistent with
the common properties of gutta percha;
India rubber, similarly treated, results
in substance resembling in appearance
the gum arabic. Gutta percha, in its
crude state, or in combination with other
materials, may be heated and heated
to the consistency Of thin paste, without
injury to its future manufacture; India
rubber, if but once treated in the same
manner, viii be destroyed and unfit for
future use. Gutta percha is not dissolv-
ed by fatty substances; India rubber is
soon dissolved by coming in contact with
fatty substances. Gutta percha is a
non-conductor of cold, heat, and cleo
tricity, and in its natural state is nom
ela$ tic, and has little or no Aexibility;
Ind ia rubber, on the contrary, is con-
duo tor Of heat, cold, and electricity, and
by nature highly elastic and flexible.
The specific gravity of gutta percha is
muSh less than that of India rubber
and it is much finer in quality, and q
far better conductor of sound. Fabrics
wrought of India rubber require sepa-
rate varnish to give them polish but
the gutta percha possesses a nature Of
inherent polish, equal in luster to the
varnish, and permanent

Capital story of Boswell and johnson.

We have not met with story for
some time as we'll told as one in the new
volume of Angeles "reminiscences of
Boswell and johnson. Angelo, it seems,
gets it from the landlord of the inn
where the photographer put up.
johnson gets off the pony, and the
poor animal, relieved from the giant,
smelt his way into the stable. Boswell
ushered the Doctor into the house, and
left him to prepare for his delicious treat
Johnson feeling his coat rather damp
from the mist of the mountains, went
into the kitchen, and threw his upper
garment on chair before the fire. He
sat on a hob near little boy who was
very busy attending the meat, and john
son did not like the appearance of his
head when he shifted the basting ladle
from one hand, the other was not idle,
and the Doctor thought at that time he
saw something fall on the meat, upon
which he determined to eat no more
mutton on that day.
The dinner was announced. Boswell
exclaimed: My dear Doctor, here
comes the mutton-what a picture =
Done to a turn, and looks so beautifully
brown ? The doctor Uttered, and after
a short grace Boswell said
Il suppose l am to carve as usual !;
what part shall l help you to 2
The Doctor replied: L did not tell
you before, but | have determined to
! abstain from meat today
'Oh, dear, this is quite a disappoint-
ment, said Bozzy.
Say no more: | shall make myself
ample amends with the pudding
Boswell commenced the attack, and
made the first cut at the mutton How
the gravy runs! What fine favored fat
so nice and brown, too Oh, sir, you
would have relished this fine prime piece
of muttonl
The meat removed, in came the long
wished for pudding. The Doctor looked
Joyous, fell eagerly to- few minutes
nearly finished the pudding. The table
was cleared, and Boswell said:
Doctor, while | was eating the NUT
ton you seemed frequently inclined to
laugh; pray, tell me what tickled your
fancy 2
The Doctor then literally told him all
that had passed at the kitchen fire, about
the boy and the basting. Boswell turn
ed pale as parsnip, and sick of himself
and company, darted out of the room.
Somewhat relieved on returning, he in
sisted on seeing the dirty little rascally
boy, whom he severely reprimanded be-
fore Johnson. The boy cried; the Doc
tor laughed.
You little, filthy, snivelling hound =
said Boswell, when you basted the meat
why did you not put ON the cap that |
saw you have on this morniugP
l couldn't sir, said the boy.
No why couldn't you 2 said Bos-
well.
Because nanny took it to boil the
pudding in!
The Doctor, gathering up his hercu-
lean frame, stood erect, touching the
ceiling with his wig; he stared or squint-
ed, indeed looking any but the right
way. At last, with mouth wide open,
(none of the smallest,) and stomach
heaving, he with some difficulty recov-
cred his breath, and looking at Boswell,
with the lungs CT a stentor, exclaimed:
Mr.. Boswell sir. leave off laughing,
and under pain Of my eternal displeas-
ure, never utter a syllable of this abom-
inable adventure to any soul living
while you breathe
And so, sir said my host, you have
the positive fact from the simple mouth
of your humble servant

The Moth and the Candle.

The following is from recently pub
lished sketch written by son of Thom-
as Hood, the celebrated wit: There he
stood, though all the guests had depart
ed The candles burned brightly, and
the plates and dishes, and silver orna-'
ments on the table, smiled to see him
there. And the triAe said to the tipsy
cake" What can he be idling away
his time that way for p The tipsy
cake said-"Pb sure | dunno-brabs
'es drunk And the champagne bottles
held themselves very upright. and the
decanters never said word, for they
had shoppers in their mouths But the
ices said d-"It's very cool of him to
stand like that when we are all waiting
for him to CO." For they intended to
have soiree when every body had left.
But the young man did not hear them
He was thinking of the cruelty of her
he loved. Long had he worshiped her
at distance, for she was rich and noble
while he was but a poor poet who wrote
in her praise aud sometimes she had
deigned to smile kindly and speak
sweetly to him. That night he had met
her-Ee had told her his love, aud had
met with scorn and sighting. There
he stood, watching the door through
which she had gone. He heard not the
voices of the last departing guests
Presently he turned his eyes to the tail
candle that stood proudly in the centre
of the table. Oh! that candle was
proud; it had gold fringe, and it stood
in silver candlestick, and it said,
am not tallow, not grease, not part of
over fed animals. No; not even COM
position candle-not of mixed, degen-
crate race. [ am a foweru" 1t forgot
that since it had formed a part of a flow
err the bees had changed its nature, and
men had altered its appearance. So it
stood up and thought it was rose; and
the prouder it grew the faster it burnt.
But while the poet was watching it, q
little plain brown moth came flying out
of the conservatory which opened into
the room, and circled about the table
1t stopped to admire a silver spoon, but
the candle was jealous" What shall
that insignificant little brown thing ad
mire that spoon more than me ?" SO it
burnt brighter. The little moth flew
towards it; it circled about it, and fan
ned the fame with its wings. The can
die never said word, but it burnt
brighter still. And the little moth few
into the fame. 81 never gave you any
encouragement" said the candle, as the
little moth fell scorched and dying on
the table. "Such is my fate !" murmur-
ed the young man, as he rushed from
the room. But the plates, and forks,
and glasses did not laugh now. There
was no festivity in the supper room
among them that night. And the can
die burned down into its socket.
