Dancing.

With one person it is the poetry Of mo
tion; with another It is about as awk ward
a performance as putting yourself on a
level and going through the motion Of run
ming upstairs would be, A kentucky girl
is natural waItzer, and she does it with
che and abandon. An Ohio girls waltz
ing is easy, graceful aud 1netodiogs. Izsha
happens to come from Cincinnati, and
across the Rhine, She swings dream1ly
round and round in the endless Dutch
waltz. II she comes from Chicago, she
throws her hair bach, jump up and cracks
her iiseels together, aid carries off her as
tonished part~er as though simeon ha&
struck him, and knocks over all interyen
ing obstacles in her mad career around
the room. IF she is from Indiana, she
creeps closely and timidly up to her part
ner, as though she would like to get into
his vest pocket, and melts away with costa
CIV, as the witching strains Of the Blue
Danube sweep through the hall. If she is
rom Missouri, she crooks her body in the
middle like door hinge, takes her part
:ser by the shoulders, and makes him mis-
cradle in trying to hop around her without
treading on her No. shoes. If she comes
from Michigan, she astonishes her partner

Theological Starch.

Poetry.
WOMAN AND!WINE.

poD went the gay cork flying,
sparkled the bright champagne,
By the light Of the day that was dying
He filled up their glasses again.
nLstthe last, best toast be woman
Woman, dear woman" said he,
Empty your glass, my darling,
When you drink to your sex with me-
But she caught his strong, brown fingers,
And held them tight, as in fear,
And through the gathering twilight
Her fond Voice fell on his ear:
" Nay, ere you drink, imploro you,
By all that you hold divine,
Pledge a woman in tear-arops,
Rather by far than in wine.
By the woes of the druukards mother,
BY his children who beg for bread,
BY the fate Of her whose beloved one
Looks on the wine when il is red,
BY the kisses changed to curses,
By tears more bitter than brine,
BY many fond heart broken,
I'LL ,varr,an in wineI
What has wine brought to woman?
Nothing but tears and pain,
1t has torn dom her arms her lover
And proven her prayers III vain;
And her household gods, all shattered,
Lie tangled up in the vine
Oh prithee, pledge no woman
In the curse Of 50 mauy--wine -
