Tic Doctor isno ascetic though stringent ad-
vocale of law and believes that the great secret
after oil is TO follow nature, wisely and well"
Feed the body he tells us, when it is hungry.
Let it sleep when it wants sleep. Give ii a irOlic
when it deserves it. Above all, don't be scared
out of dancing by any Presbyterian bugbears.
Dancing is just the music for the feet, the glad
ness OF the young legs, and is well called the
poetry of motion. 4" ] remember story Of
good old Antiburgher minister. 1t was in tie
days when dancing was held to be a great sin, and
to be dealt with by the session. Jessie. comely,
and good and blithe young woman, great favor
lite OF the minister's, had been guilty of dancing
at friends wedding. She was summoned be-
fore the session to be dealt with'--the grim old
fellows sternly concentrating their eyes upon her,
as she stood trembling i'll her striped shOrt-gown,
and her pretty bare feet. The Doctor, who was
one of divinity, and deep thinker greatly pity
lug her and himself, said, Jessie, MY woman,

On the subject OF boards, the Doctor waxcs even
unusually eloquent: " am for boards out and
out, because 1 think Inc Maker OF the beard was
and is. This is reason enough; hat there are
many others. The misery of shaving, is expense,
lbs consumption OF tine--a very corporation ~
sting for no other purpose but 10 shave mankind.
Campbell, the poet, who had always bad razor,

the man of civilization who lived 10 be- sixty had
suffered more pam in liitlcs every day in shaving,
than woman with a large family had nom her
lyings-in. This would be hard TO prove; but it is
u process that never gets pleaauter by practice;
aud then the waste of.time aud tempcr-the usli-
