Dancing.

Professor LOUIS BAoH's Dancing Acads-
my is a complete success. He has now
thirty-fve scholars, and the interest in
dancing still increases. Tho SOiree parties
given at the Academy every Friday even
ing are well attended. 1t is conceded by
all that the Professor thoroughly under
stands the science Of dancing, and that he
has the patience to teach others. The Pro-
fessor intends giving Masquerade and
Fancy Dress Ball on New YEARS. Eve
at his Academy. This will be something
new in Olympia, and there will doubtless
be q large assemblage of ladies' and gen
tlemen present on that evening.
Dancing! At the very sound Of the
word, the blood leaps more ehoerily through
the veins, the face brightens, the step
lightens. The man or woman weary with
physical toll, who come at evening into the
dancing group, and listen to the merry
notes Of the violin and guitar, feel, at once,
the heaviness of their fatigue lifted from
them, and they can join for few hours in
the dance with positive rsfreshment, and
retire to their beds less weary, and enjoy
sweeter sleep, than if they had gone direct
ly from their work. The person of seden.
tary life is benefited even more than the
other, by this innocent amusement. He
needs tho, muscular exercise, and as bis
movements harmonic with the Inspiring
music, bis whole nature, physical, social
and spiritual, is brought into more harmo-
nious action For the thinker, no other
indoor exercise, relaxation, or amusement
equals this. 1t diverts the mind from Sc
we're thought, while it pleasantly occupies
it;-it affords brisk muscular exercise
it cultiVates sociability,-it fosters one Of
the most refining and sOftening clements in
our nature-the love Of music 1t is an
amusement which affords equal pleasure
and equal benefit to the young, and old,
and middIe-aged. Thus bringing all ages
into close proximity, each is benefited by
contact with the other: the old, by the
elasticity aud hlarity of youth; the young,
by the dccorum and prudence Of age.

in order to acquire a little more money, or
a little higher station; and then, oh! then,
he will be wondrous happyl Alasl the
phantoms will fee before him forever,
But what pity it is that everybody can
not be happy on Christmas Day; that there
are hooks and corners where wretchedness
prevails, where no ray of hope forces its
way in, where there is suffering and misery.
While we enjoy ourselves q while let us
think a little of the poor and needy, the
sick and the afflicted. There are scenes Of
degradation, where squalid vice holds pre-
eminent sway; where crime and reckless
ness rule oil the actors There are those
upon the deep waters whose hearts are
yearning for their homes and friends; there
are attenuated forms stretched upon beds
of sickness; there are others bowed down
in misery. For all these let us reserve one
little sympathetic corner of our hearts; let
us, amidst our nerriment, not forget that
all are not happy; if we cannot alleviate
suffering, we can at least feel for it.
We plead, then, for the observance Of
Christmas, and other holidays in our ealen.
dar. On this occasion, let our hearts grow
warm towards all mankind. Especially,
let Us bind frmcr the ties of kindred. And,
erowning and Christening all our joy, let
our thoughts rise in gratitude to Him from
whom cometh down every good and per.
feet gift.

40 degrees, half way between the Island Of
Vancouver and the main land, the line shall
be sontherly, following the middle Of the
channel which separates Vancouver's Is
land from the main to the Straits do Fuca !;
thence through the middle of that Strait to
the ocean" 1t seems this language, although
simple, is not understood by the British
Commissioner. 1t would lead him insvita-
bly, and una7oidably through the broadest
and best channel, and most direct, and the
shortest by about 20 miles to the Straits
de Fuca. Yet it would leave to the Uni
ted States cluster of valuable Islands
which the Treaty never designed to give
up The object Of the Treaty being to
grant to Great Britain simply the Island
of Vancouver and nothing moro. We have
accorded to her Majesty one inch, and now
she claims an ell. 1t is much to be regret
ted that the Island of Vancouver was ever
conceded in that Treaty 1t is q valuable
Island, and we should never have given it
up. We now have another pretended claim
of Great Britain to stare US in the face. If
it were poor miserable Mexico that made
such claim, we would bid her cease such
pretensions, and send on armed force to
take possession. Let US see how we shall
act in the premises, in this case. At one
time we claimed $40 40 and came down
to 49a. Now we claim common sense
Interpretation of the Treaty. Shall we
yield this too? Nous Herrons."
