DANCER WHO DID NOT DANcE.-A most
melancholy thing recently happened to young
gentleman 10 Paris. He had been dining out
and wining pretty freely, and as he was going
to the bal d opera, he submitted himself to the
operations of street shoe black. Leaning
back in his chair, he was asleep before the
polishing was concluded but when the juvenile
artist found out the condition of his customer
he hastened to improve il He geully drew of
the boots, added. his victims purse and watch
to the booty, gathered up his brushes, and de
parted. The gentleman was at last aroused by
his cod feet, and ANONYMOUSLY made the best
OF his way home. There was no dancing for
him that night
