WHY BosToN GIRLS ARE PRETTY. The Harvard song has refrain about s'Boston city, where all the girls they are SO pretty" that really isn't far out of the way, whether it is meant to be ironical or not. For even one Boston born and bred cannot help occasionally noticing the fact that the majority, and a large majority too, of the women whom he meets are decidedly pretty. This is true of young and old alike, and the reason is that the true secret lies not in the smooth, pinky complexion and blond curls of the one. nor in the delicately wrinkled but fair skin aud love- ly gray hair of the other, but in the expression of the faces, which in almost every case is such as to show exclusively at glance, that their owners know something .sn.@a

THE DANCING QUESTION. decision of the Presbyterian Synod of Erie, Penn, in the case of Heber Donaldson, who was expelled from the church for dancing, was the subject of some remarks recently by the Rev. Dr. Herrick Johnson, of Chicago who was in- clined to disagree with the majority of the Synod. The Synod, 1t will be remembered, refused to entertain the appeal, and third appeal was taken to the General Assembly. Dr. Johnson thought that there must be some mistake about the decision. ''It cannot be possible" he said, 'that the Synod or Presby- tery can have disciplined any man simply for indulgence in cotillon. It certainly cannot be made condition of church membership, and such provision is not in the bounds of our Church, so far as know, anywhere. If it IS in any individual case, and if such rule is made in any individual case, is without the authority of the Church. Dapcing IS not matter of discipline, and in my judgment it ought not to be. It is one of that class of in- dulgences that comes under the law of things indifferent It is one of those things which | IS not right or wrong in itself, but only the one or the other in connection with surroun undz ing circumstances. Therefore, 1t Is a thing which must be left for settlement, as to its moral bearings. to the individual conscience
 That Is the position of our Church on this sub- ject. The great law of our Church In refer ence to church membership is this, namely. that there are no conditions of church mem- bership which are not likewise conditions es- sential to salvation. The Rev. Dr. Thomas, of the same city, who was recently tried for heresy, touched upon this topic in his sermon last Sunday. In the course of his remarks he said: "The teachings of the Old Testament and the New throughout, in their letter and spirit. condemn the principle that it is or pro- k@ll
 ing one evening and to dancing party the next" Further on he gave three reasons why, in his opinion. dancing was wrong. They were: CD ''the too free mingling of the sexes" ;"(2) ''the practice is directly opposed to the influence which every Christian is ex- pected to exert" and (S) "a desire on the part of a Christian for the dance as source of enjoyment arguessa state of spirituality that needs looking after.",sr5 ,..-<

Anthony Mcdonald, sailor belonging to the English ship Forest Rights. was drowned on Sunday, October 16 while bathing near the Central wharf. Being good swimmer,
 it is not known whether he was seized with cramps or was attacked by shark. The mate of a vessel lying near went to his assist ance as soon as it was knows that he was in peril, but before reaching the spot the unfort- unate youth had sunk out of sight. The body was dragged for, but was not recovered until the next morning. when 1t was found to have been horribly mutilated by sharks. Deceased was aged 1S, native of Liverpool, and this was his first voyage. We are told that while quite party of gentlemen were viewing the body yesterday morning an immense shark estimated to be more than fifteen feet in length-arese to the surface, and, seizlng the body instantly carried it under the wharf
 Parties standing near took hold of the rope
 and after tug with the monster they deprived him of his prey. This subsequent attack of the man-eater is conclusive proof that tbe un- fortunate young man met an awful death in the voracious jaws of shark. His head and ono arm and one leg were gone, while large gash was visible in his left side. This is the second death of the kind that has come to our knowledge within the year. The other was that of the mate of a small vessel, who was knocked overheard between here and Mobile few months ago and who was seized by one of these large fish and carried below in the presence of his shipmates.

 Next day two or three men, invited by Ltl- cius for shooting, put in an appearance and the master of Abb0tscraithie, in doing the honors to his male friends, avoided on all pos sible occasions being brought into anything like close companionship with the ladies. Only he would look at Birdie sometimes with such longing, -wistful look in his large, flaming eyes that it made the girl more than once creep away up to her room and send the excuse Of headache instead of reappearing at dinner. Meanwhile Amelia saw nothing except that Percy's attentions were received bV Miss Verulam with cold 1icdaio and thai Luciqs looked sadly weary and jaded, which she entirely ascribed to his having overwalk- ed himself shooting on the moors. Thus a week passed, and Birdie suggested to Lady Constantia that it was time they took their leave and went to the house of some other friends; but Lady Constantia was comfortable and contented in luxurious Abbotscraithie, and she would not be hustled.

Crops.

The returns show @ still greater decline in
cotton prospects from the August estimates.
Rust and shedding are reported in various
localities. Picking is general, some thinking
that two thirds is..now open.
There has been little change in the condi>
ton of the corn crop since the last report.
We regret that the outlook is less promis-
ing than was expected month ago. We
cannot do better than to quote from an es-
teemed correspondent, himselfa practical and
successful farmer: "Cotton is 'done'fo and !,
estimating not more than q half crop, the
wise, energetic planter will save it as clean
and nice as possible. hold It if he can; and
above all things, SOW large oat crop as soon
as practicable, and commence to economize
right now, for 1882 will most nssuredly be
bad year OH all who are not forehanded.-
Grazing lots of barley and rye will be of great
help in keeping stock and assist very much
through the trying months Of March and
April. Rye on rich land will furnish earlier
forage and more of it t, take the place of
fodder, than anything I know Of. 1t can be
cut three or four times with cradle, COM
mencing as soon as it heads out and curing
like hay. Mules and horses relish it, thus
cured, Every much, and crop can be made on
it with very little corn"
