\ IOrNG LADY'S REASONS FOR NOT
DANcING.-l. Dancing leads me into
crowded rooms and late hours. which are
injurious to health and usefulness.
Z. Dancing would lead me into close
contact with very promiscuous company,
ami ''eyil communications corrupt good
hammers"
;. Dancing would require me to use
and permit freedom with the other sex,
which | believe to be wrong
/. Ny parents and friends would be
anxious about HE if were out late. keep
ing company with they know not whom.
,. Ministers and GOOD people in gen
erai di>approve OF danclng, and | think 1t
Is not safe TO set myself against them; If
q thing be even doubtful, wish to be on
the safe SIDE
6. Dancing has a bad name. and |
mean to study things that are pure, lovely
and OF GOOD report.
:. Dancing Is generally accompanied
with drinking, and see drinking pro-
duceS a great deal of evil.
s. ! an told dancing is a great temp
tatiOn to youn@ men. and do not wish
to have anything to do with leading them
astray.
Q. Dancing units the mind for serious
reflection and prayer, and mean 10 do
nothing that will cstrangc me from my
God and Saviour.
10. There are plenty OF graceful ex-
"rci~cs and cheerful amu>cmcnt4. which

The Game Of Billiards.

The game ofbilliards was invented IN
France. The name is derived from bile,
o ball.
Charles IN. of France, married Eliza
beth of Austria in 1870, and the we'd
ding was signalized by the serving up
at the table of the first turkey ever
seen in France. A year after this event
and q year before the death of this
young Queen, the game of Billiards was
invented by Henry de Vigne, French
artist in 1871. The new game became
Immediately popular at the French
Court, and was soon known to the Ger
mans, the Dutch, Italians, and the va
rious nations of Europe. Burton,
the author of the Anatomy OF
Melancholy, mentions billiards rs
among the the fifteen popular winter
recreations in vogue in England ut the
end of that century.
Of some other amusements he thus
speaks: "Cards, dice, hawkes. and
hounds, are rocks upon which men
lose themselves when they are improp-
erly handled and beyond their for
tunes Hunting and hawking he re-
CARDS as "honcst recreations, and lit
for some great men, but not for every
base or inferior person." for while they
maintain their falkner and dogs and
hunting naGs, their wealth runs away
with their hounds, and their fortunes
fly away with the hawks
In more recent times various improve
mcnts have been made i'll the construc-
ton of billiard tables.
Tables made of slate were introduced
into England in 1S27. The skill OF
American manufacturers now leaves
nothing further To be desired. .

Some Popular Errors.

Under the head of Fog" recent
number of the Saturday Rerie'c com
ments upon the very hazy notions
which most people have of certain
astronomical and geographical facts.
The Rerie,c gives very entertaining
collection of the blunders of eminent
authors in matters of this sort. But
there is no excuse for such ignorance or
uncertainty. A very little reading Is
enough to set one all right rs to the
leading phenomena and facts:
For the most important observa
ti0ms of all no scientific apparatus is
necessary. A telescope is no help to
perceiving, for example, that the new
moon is always less bright in the morn
ing than in the evening; that the same
stars are constantly in the South mt the
same time every night; that the horns
of the mooa always point to the APP
parent right; or that the sun is nearly
twice Us broad when setting as he is
when in the zenith. Such things as
these can be tested by any one who
chooses to keep his cycH open, and to
record his observations i'll his pocket
book. Indeed, they will supply n fair
test, to any reader, of his own knowl-
edge even ut the moment that he reach
cs this stage of our remarks; for our
chief reason for enumerating these most
familiar phenomena is that the state
mentS we have made i'll reference tn
them are wildly and monstrously absurd,
and there is Il quiet pleasure in express
ing our conviction that three out OF
( four persons who will have read them
will have donc so with implicit and
unuuestioning belief. Such is fog. BY
way of comfort we will remind them, in
the first place, that human nature is
prone to error, and in the second, that
there are probably not many authors to
be four.l in whom some Astronomical
fogginess does not occur. BY way of IL
Illustrating our statement, it is hard t.
;, know how far To 20 back. Lord Mac
aulay observes very justly that Dryden
. was not much of an astronomer. In thu
Annus Mirabillis he seems TO imply tina
the effects of the discoveries of his da,
would be to enable people to get TO thu
edge of the world, and so obtain a close
view of the moon. In ElenOra the vir
tues of certain lady are said to be
One. rs constellation il but one.
Though tbs u train of stars that rolcth on.
'It must have been n very simple
minded philosopher who could conceiv,
of the Great Bear as being a connecte,
system, and comprehcnding kind o
moral great bear within its limits. Blu
as to Lord Macaulay himself, what ar
we to sayi The following passage oc
ours in his description of the Spanish
territories in America: They spread
from the Equator northward and south
ward. through all the signs of the zodiac
far into the temperate zone Can this
mean anything if it does not mean thai
the signs of zodiac run north and south
America is, unfortunately for any Other
explanation, limited by the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans in the direction o.
east and west (; and the temperate zone
is limit of latitude, and not of longi
tude, in America as much as in Europe
Perhaps it is only fair to say that tn,
passage occurs in the fifth volume, t,
which the author did not live to Civ,
the finishing tonch."
