DANCING GOING OUT.-London seems to
have got tired of dancing When the Shah
was here no remark he made was more
relished than his question to the Prince of
Wales while the dancing was going on,
" Why do you not employ servants to do
this for you?' The perspiring prince could
hardly explain, but society generally seem
inclined to relegate dancing to the corps
de ballet. This has been especially the
case this season, when the new fashionable
skirts have gone to the extreme from the
Liberation of the ballet. A lady was re-
Gently heard to say, with sigh, "What
with being tied around below, l havan't
had good square sit down for three
months" When large ball is given there
is an apology for dancing, a few mincing
steps are taken, but presently the company
falls to admiring each others dresses, and
it all ends in music and talk. DANCING
bids fair to become Survival" as the
antiquarians say.-M D. Con,eav IN On

A resident who reached Detroit by noon

an absence of two weeks, was met at the

welcomed him.
"And is everybody well, Willie?" asked
the father.
"The wellest kind" replied the boy.
And nothing has happened?"

But talk of those who sin,
'Tis better we should look at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge man
Until he is fairly tried;

Some may have faults-and who has not?
The old as well as young.

To try my own defects to cure.

My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us ALL when We commence

CARNIvEROUs HoRsE.-The Lebanon
(kentucky) Standard given an account of a
chicken eating horse. For many years DR..
j. II. Marable has owned a horse which has
not only been in the habit of eating chick.
ems, but has been known to make way with
ducks, young turkeys, rabbits, squirrels and
pigs. This popularity of taste was first
discovered about ten years ago. DR.. Mara
ble's sons had been hunting, and for con-
venience had fastened their game, consis-
ting of squirrels, rabbits, and BIRDS to the
saddle. Having occasions to 90 back 10
the woods where they had been hunting,
they found on their return the horse max!
ing way with the last vestige of their DAVIS
sport. Since that time it has been diff
cult to keep pigs or fowls of any kind about
the stable where the horse stavs.'. The
dcpraved taste of the animal cannot be
accounted for, unless we take as a solution
the opinion of an old negro of the neigh
borhood, who believes in the transmigra-
ton OF souls, and is confident that the
spirit OF deceased colored preacher of the
Methodist persuasion has entered into the
horse, and still shows its fondness for
chicken.

ASHREwD WoMAN.-The Liverpool Packet
Company, wishing to extend its premises.
decided to purchase adjoining land, which
was owned by a maiden lady of uncertain
age. The lady sold the land cheap. but
caused to be inserted in the agreement an
article to this effect, that during her life.
time she and a lady companion should have
the privilege of travelling free in any of the
company's vessels. The day after the
agreement was signed she sold her house
and furniture, and, having found a com.
panlon, went on board of one of the com.
pany steamers, just about to sail for South
America and from that time to this she
has lived at sea and at the companv's ex.
rense. She advortisos for some lady who
wishes to make the voyage as her compan-
ion, and who pays her fare, and in this wav.
1t Is said, has already accumulated about
ten thousand dollars. The company have
offered her more than this to cancel the
agreement, but this she refuses to do. and
as the life at sea suits her health remarka.
bly,, there is no prospect that her voyaging
will soon come to an end.

An English sanitary journal approves of
the American custom of taking a substan.

to persons Of weak digestion may be then
safely eaten. Business matters should moi
intrude upon the breakfast hour.

One of the hardest trials of those who
fall from afiluence and honor to poverty
and obscurity, is the discovery that the
attachment of so many in whom they con-
fided was a pretence, a mask to gain their
own ends, or was miserable shallowness.

As we were looking at the doubIe-page
engraving in recent number Of HarDer's
Weekly, entitled, Bravo, Toro: Rmins.
cence of San Roque," we were reminded of
the description of thrilling scene which we
read while ago iii the New York Lcdgsr.
The substance Of it was as follows In the
autumn OF 1871 notices were posted in pub
lie places in Cadiz, Spain, that on a certain
day the bull FL Moro, a magnificent animal.
would be introduced into the arena of the
amphitheatre, and that when he had been
goaded to the uttermost fury young girl
would appear and reduce him to quiet sub
lection. The girl who was to act this dar-
ing part was peasant girl who had fed and
petted the bull during the years of il,
growth. On the appointed day the vast
amphitheatre was packed with an eager
crowd, when, with terrific roar. FL Moro
entered the arena, with eyes of fire and
dilating nostrils. The picadors attacked
him warily, and hurled their banderillas-
small javelins intended TO infuriate. When
the creature had killed three horses and re.
celved eight banderillas in his neck and
shoulders, the signal was given, and he was
left alone in his paroXysm of wrath.
Presently a soft, musical note was heard.
and pretty girl, not more than fifteen
years of age, in the tasteful garb of an Anda
lusian peasant, sprang lightly into the arena,
approaching the bull fcarlessly, at the same
time calling his name" Moro, Moro! VA
voy ~
AT the first sound of the sweet voice the
animal ceased his fury and turned toward
the place whence it came, and when he
saw the girl he plainly manifested pleasure.
She came to his head and put forth her
hand, which he licked with his tongue.
Then she sang low, sweet song, at the
same time caressing the animal by patting
him on the fOrhead, and while she sang.
the suffering monarch kneeled at her feet.
Then she stopped and gently removed the
cruel banderillas, after which, with her
arm round FL Moro's neck, she led him
toward the gate. Thus was beautifully
shown the power of kindness-HarDcy'sl

must be stimulated by pressure of the chest with
the hands, in imitation Of the natural breathing;
forcibly expelling the air from the lungs, and al
lowing it to re-enter and expand them by the elias
