HEAT FROM THE STARs.-Doctor
Lardner says: SIT is startling fact,
that if the earth were dependent alone
upon the sun orheat, it would not get
enough to make the existence Of AMI
NAL and vegetable life upon its SUR
face. 1t results from the researches
of Pouillet, that the stars furnish heat
enough in the course of a year to melt
a crust Of ice Is feet thick, almost as
,ra may appear b. "a strange when u en- We econ consider .f
low immeasurably small must De the
amount of heat received fium any ono
of these distant bodies. But the sur
prise vanishes, when we remember.
that the whole armament is 80 thickly.
sown, with stars, that in some places
thousands are crowded together with,
in space no larger than that occupied
by the full moon.' - -. 'a

WALTZINC.

The following daguerreotype, which
we find in the st. Louis Advocate, is
executed in true colors. s.@ .'a.
"Look! look!' said half a dozen
lady voices, one pretty night, as We sa,
leaning against the outside Of the ball
room. We did look-alas! for our
modesty ought not to have done So:
/" IF my children were among them, I'd
whip them we'll for it.! Yes, if they
were full grown I'd give them the
hickory!' So said the wife of one o1
our princes as she turned away in utter
disgust. Let me describe little-it
the public may look, certainly it may
read though it run. Agroup ofsplen.
did ones is on the floor, and lovingly
mated. The gents cncircle their part:
ner's waists with one arm. The la
dies and gentlemen stand CLOSE, face
to face. The gents are very erect, and
lean a little back. The ladies lean a
little forward. (Music.) :, Now, all
wheel, whirl, circle and curl. Fee,
and heels go rip rap, tippity tip. La
dies feet 60 tippity-tip, tippity tar: =
Then all 60 rippity, clippity, slippity,
Il tippity, bippity, skippity, hoppity, jun.
pity, bu,npity, thump. Ladies fly of
by centrifugal momentum. Gents pull
ladies' hard and close. They reel,
swing, slide, sling, look tender, look
silly, look dizzy. Feet fy,a hoops fly,
dresses fly, and all fly. The men look
like cross between steel-yards and
Z" timber jacks,'' bottles, Xee. The
maidens tuck down their chin. YER,
low, or raise them exceedingly high.
Some smile, grin, some giggle, some
pout, some sneer, and all sweat freely.
The ladies faces are brought against
those Of the men, or into their bosoms,
breast against breast, nose against
nose, and toes against toes. Now
they 60 in again, making sound like
Georgy, porgey, dercy, percy, ridley,
pidey, coachy, parchy. This dance is
not much, but the extras are glorious.
If men were women, there would be
no such dancing. But, the. are only
men and the thing goes on by woman &
love Of it. A secular writer saysI:-.
There is no established standard o1
prorriety about this matter. Ill were
q lady, / might object TO these dances,
but being q man, / de not. We Ger.
tainiy ought 70 bs tatished, II thssly tasl..
