incidents of camp life. Among others was
one of an old couple who had supplied them

extinguished their light and retired, forget

bad, and after standing it long as they
could, the old lady got up, and getting we'll

Dancing.

DR.. Butler, in his "Land 6f< the
Veda," shows the estimation in which
the heathen regard dancing:
"No man in India would allow his
wife Or daughter to dance; and as to
dancing with another man, he would
be certain TO forsakc her forever as q
woman. lost to virtue and modesty, il
she were to attempt it. In their oh.
servation Of white women, there is
nothing that SO much pcrplexes them
| as the fact that fathers and husbands
will perlnit their wives and daughters
TO indulge in promiscuous dancing.
No argument wall convince them that
this act is such as virtuous woman
Should practice, or that its tendency
is not licentious. The prevalence oe
the practice in Christian nations
makes our holy religion-wh;ch they
| suppose must allow ito be abbor
red by many Of them, and often it is
cast in the teeth Of our missionaries
while preaching to them. But what
would these hcathens say, could they
enter our operas and theatres and see
the shocking exposures oftheir per-
sons which our public women there
present before mixed assemblies !?
Yet they would be much more aston
lshed, that ladies of vir'ue and repu-
tation should be found there, accom-
panied by their daughters, to witness
The sight, and that, loo, in the pres
ence of the other sex But then thew
are only heathens, and don't appreci
ate the high accomplishments of
Christian civilization! Still, heaven
grant that the future church Of India
may ever retain at least this item of
the prejudice Of their forcfathers
Dancing forms no part of q daughters
education in India, and never will
unless they become corrupted by
Christian example"
