Mr.. Wiley. from his place In the United
States Senate, at Washington, has written
letter touching Mr.. Woodson's resolution
looking TO reunion OF East and west VIZ

by gentlemen in both States. He sets out by
declaring that the new State was not made as
n " war measure" but because of irreconcila-
BILE, conflicting material interests; and the
war merely afforded the needed opportunity.
He proceeds

Dancing.

Dir. Eadie one Of the best Biblical schol-
ars OF his age says in his Cyclopedia:
From collection of all the passages in
Scripture in reference to dancing it may be
inferred
l. That dancing was religious act, both
in true and idol worship.
2. That it was practiced exclusively ON
joyful occasions, such as national festivals
or great victories. l
3. That it was performed on such occa-
sions only by one of the sexes.
4. That it was performed usually in the
daytime. in the open air. in highways, fields
nd groves.
g. That men who perverted dancing from
sacred use to purpose of amusement were
deemed Infamous.
6. That no instances of dancing are found
upon record in the Bible in which the two
sexes united in the exercise, either as an
act of worship or amusement.
LASTLY. That there is no instance upon
record in the Bible of social dancing for
amusement, except that of the "vain fell
lows" void of shame alluded to by Michael7
Of the relgio us families described by Job.
which produced increased impety and en-
ded in destruction, and of Herodias, which
terminated in the rash vow of Herod and
the murder of John the Baptist.
