How 10 waltz with Decency.

The gentleman approaches the lady by
Offering his left hand-one dI fail will OF
the same time make slight inclination
or bow. The lady places her right hand
In that OF the gentleman, who then ex'
tends his right arm in direct line 70 the
eide, the forearm bent 80 as 10 form az
acute angle. In this angle the lady will
place herself, with the centre line oil the
person opposite the gentlemah's right
side, both persons on parallel lines, not
forming an angle. In this position each
will DO looking over the others right
shoulder, and by the lady turning her
head slightly TO the left, the effect Of the
group will 10 greatly improved and pre-
Vent all possibility Of taking each others
breath which Is rarely pleasant, and IN
the case Of voting man directly from the
use Of meerschaum, is"poSitlvely lhorrid,"
az many ladies have remarked. The lady
places her left hand, hooked, upon the
Rentleman's right shoulder, the fingers
appearing in front. The right hand Of the
gentleman should rest very gently upon
Inc ladys back as near the waist as pos
sible, 40 as not 10 move the upward pres
stre Of the elbow directly Under the la
dy's shoulder as this Is the lady'S support,
and must he held with sure but gentle
ftniness. The hand on the back should
fest very lightly, and OH. every possi'
bic occasion slightly raised 30 that the
air may pass between, az In some cases
the close contact induces Precipitation,
and may leave its marks upon the ladys
dress. Roth persons should be slightly
bent forward from the hips upward, so
that the shoulders may be only three or
iour inches apart, but the distance In
creasibR downward; this leaves both par
ties free In their limbs, so that any con
tact Of person or knees may DO avoided,
and should be 40 avoided as a most Sc;
tious mistake. The gentleman's lett hand
holding the lady's right, should DO ex-
tended downward In line with the body,
The hands three or four inches distant
from the person, the arms forming o gen
tle curve from The shoulders downward.
M weight ia placed on this arm; all the
guiding and changes must be governed ~
The elbow under the lady6 arm; II Will
be found that this grouping will be per-
fectly modest in appearance, no more con-
tsci II persons occurring than In lady
taking a Rentlemans arm for walking.
In conclusion, lot II be remembered that
purity Of thought and action may % "a
eonspicuous in waltGing as In any other
situation Of life; that the gross waltz

The reputation II has attained, In

public that IL will continue TO realize
the happlest results that can be desired
In almost every section Of country
there arc persons, publicly known, who
have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases Of the lungs,
by It's use. All who have tried II nc.
knowledge It's superiority; and where
It's virtues arc known, no one hesltAtCs

lievO the distress and suffering peculiar
TO pulmonary affections. CHERRY PFC
TONAL always affords instant relief and
performs rapid Ctires Of the mllder VA.

As n safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset
the Throat and Chest of Childhood, II
Is Invaluable; for, by It's timely use,
multltudes are rescued and restored TO
health.
This medicine gains friends ut
every trial, rs the cures II Is constantly
producing arc too remarkable to be

its face of steel that batters the stone that

the fire that old Nick built.
A TEMPERANCE MEErING.-This is one
of the blows that we quietly deal to fashion
the sledge with its edge of steel that batters
the stone that grinds the axe that cuts the
wood that feeds the fire that old Nick built.
TEMPERANCE PLEDGE.-This is the smith
that works with will to give force to the
blow that we quietly deal 10 fashion the
sledge with its face of steel that batters the
stone that grinds the axe that cuts the wood
