DANCING MEN.

A complaint comes up from all the
summer resorts of the scarcity of young
men who dance. The bellies are there
and in great numbers. They are there
for jolly good time, too. and the pru-
dental mothers who are chaperoning
the young ladies have made it point in
the education of their girls that dancing
should be one of the leading accomplish
ments. The girls all dance. and they
dance we'll. More than that. the old
fogy notion that round dances are out
of place in public ball room has been
discarded, and now the German, the
waltz, the polka, and all that class
of dances which require an arm
curvature fill up the principal
space on the ball programme.
But with all these innovations of mod
ern dancing reform, the dance still lags.
And it is all because the young men
either will not OF cannot dance.
Why is it that the young men of this
generation have no partiality for dane
ing? 1t cannot be because they are less
nimble-footed than the young men of
preceding generations. The young man
of to-day is as agile and light of foot as
the antelope. He walks with spring
ing step, and as his graceful figure
glides by you on the street, you are i'm
pressed with the idea that nature has
endowed him with waltz-like motion.
1t can not be for lack of opportunity
that he doesn't learn to dance, for
i'm these latter days the dancing
academy spermitted to take precedence
of the Sunday school. The Opportuni-
ties for acquiring good dancing educa-
tion are granted to every American
youth, whether of good moral character
or not. The fact is that the young man
of this generation can dance and does
dance, and his scarcity at the summer re-
sort is entitled to be placed to his
credit.
The first and foremost reason for the
scarcity of dancing men at the summer
resorts is that the young men of this
age are not lettering away their time in
the butterfly fashion generally charac-
teristic of the summer resort season.
Most of them have to work for their
living. If they get summer vaca-
tion there are so many more manly
sports to engroSS their time and atten-
tion that the summer resort bali room
has comparatively little attraction for
them. Then there is promiscuity
about these summer resort acquaint-
ances that is repulsive to the average
young man of good breeding. He thinks
too much of himself to he caught whir[
ing around in a public ball room with
his arm clasped around maiden whom

LOST ARsINOE.

Arsinoe the fair. the amber-tressed,
Is mine no more;
Cold as the unsunned SHOWS are is her breast
Aud closed her door
No more her ivory feet and tresses braided
Make glad mine eyes,
Snapt are my yiol-strngs, my flowers are
faded
My love-lamp dies.
Yet. once for dewy myrtle-buds and roses,
All summer long,
We searched the twiligbt-haunted garden
closes
With jest and song.
Aye, all is over now-my heart hath changed
Its heaven for hell;
And that i'll chance which all our love
estranged
In this wise fell.
A little lion. small and dainty sweet
(For such there beD
With sea-gray eyes and softly stepping feet,
She prayed of me.
For this, through lands Egyption far away,
She bade me pass;
But in an evil hour, said her nay
And now, alasi
Far-traveled Nicias hath wooed and won
Arsinoe
With gifts Of furry creatures white and dun
From over the sea.
-R. G.. Tomson.
St. Paul daily globe., 1888-08-19

he has neYer met before and will never
see again. She may be as respectable
as he is, but he doesn't know 1t. He
has to take too much for granted. Then,
there is another consideration which re-
pels the young man from the fashion
able summer resort. 1t is the expense
account. The young man who enters
the society of a fashionable watering
place must have good bank account to
be able to hold out any length of time.
He is not only expected to keep pace
with the expensive habits of the young
ladies, but he must see them one better.
1t he starts in to play the gallant he
must keep his purse string united. The
extravagant ideas of our young society
women are what discourages our young
men from entering society. And it is
enough to do it. The young man of
good horse sense, and we have great
many of that sort, reasons out the mat
ter in about this way: If he has the
money and the culture to enable him to
shine in society, where is the profit to
come from? 1t is an exceedingly rare
thing that money invested in a sum-
mer Irritation pays dividend. Now
and then some young adventurer
in search of wife with fortune plays
lucky game, but it is only once in a
thousand times that the game succeeds.
The sensible young man views the sub
ject in about this light: The money
spent in one of these summer flirtations
is gone forever, whereas, if it had been
invested in corner lots, or in some busi-
ness enterprise, it would later on have
enabled him to buy home and furnish
it for the wife who married him because
he had sense enough to take care of his
stuff.
This is practical age, and our young
men are imbued with its spirit. If
they are not dancing young men, they
are something better. They are work
ing young men, saving young men,
practical young men, earnest young
men, V ho look upon life as something
real, and not to be idled away.

AGAINST OURSELVES.

From the French.
Michelet-Women are an aristocracy.
"a
Victor Hugo-Woman is perfected
devil.
st. Bernard-Woman is the organ of
the devil.
Proverb-Do not trust woman, even
when dead.
Lemontey-Of all heavy bodies, the
heaviest is the woman we have ceased
to love.
J. J. Rousseau-O, woman! it is thou
that causest the tempeSts that agitate
mankind.
A. de Musset-A woman forgives
everything but the fact that you do not
cOvet her.
Anon-Women love always; when
earth slips from them they take refuge
in heaven.
Montaigne-There is no torture that
a woman would not suffer to enhance
her beauty.
Balzac-Women are constantly the
dupes or the victims of their extreme
sensitiveness.
Montesquieu-The society of women
endangerS mems morals and rehnes
their manners.
Rivarol-Man spends his life reason
ing ON the past, complaining of the
present, trembling for the future.
*x*
Balzac-It is easier to be lover
than husband, for the same reason
that it is more difficult to be witty every
day than now and then.
~
Pigault-Lebrun- who always
speak well of women do not know them
enough: those who always speak ill of
them do not know them at all.
E. Souvestre-Mani is an eternal mys-
terry, even to himself. His own person
is house which he never enters, and
of which he studies but the outside.
Marguerite de Valois-Men are so
accustomed to lie that one cannot take
too many precautions before trusting
them-if they are to be trusted at all.
*x*
Chamfort-A lover is man who en-
deayors to be more amiable than it is
possible for him to be. This is the
reason why almost all lovers are ridicu-
lous.
-
T. Gautier-I cannot see why women
are so desirous of initiating men. 1
could understand the wish to be boa
constructor, lion or an elephant; but a
man! that surpasses my comprehension.
49,
Pascal-What a camera is a man!
What confounded chaos, what sub
ject of contradictions! A professed
judge of all things, and yet feeble
worm of the earth! The great deposi-
tory and guardian of truth, and yet a
mere bundle of uncertainties! The
great glory and the crying shame Of this
universe!

SHERIDAN.

Blow bugles of sorrow! blow taps Of the
night, il
Blow sweetly. blow softly as wayelets of
light. q
Beside the tomp's portal lies splintered
prides lance, :,
Rust cankers the sword of the meteor
glance.
The eagle whese wing could defeat to earth
dash,
As he scared mid the battle-clouds' thunder
and flash.
Over carnage that seethed.
To gaze with full eve upon victory's sun;
An arrow doth smite from his glory-lit
height;
The lord of the fight
By Death is undone.
Blow clarions of triumph blow music's de-
light
Blow gladly, blow madly, as when in the
fight
At Five Forks to combat he tiger-like sprang,
Or as when by redeemed Shenandoah ye
rang,
For the pale steed's dark rider, grim Death,
is unhorsed.
And our hero,s brave soul from his grasp is
uDcorSed,
As Saber unSheathed;-
The ghouls OF the grave to their dust he doth
run
He rises in might from morlality's plight,
lie faces God S light,
Life 5 battle is won.
Charles II. A. Esling.

PERFECT REST.

Behold the boy-throughout the livelong
day,
He follows on where e'er his fancy leads,
Till. tired of every sport itcan suggest,
His mothers fond embrace supplies his
needs.
Upon her breast
BY her caressed,
He is at home,
And home is perfect rest.
The world is but a ruthless battlefield;
The boy, to manhood grown. must fight his
way;
Wounded, in tears, he seeks his loving wife,
His wounds are healed, his tears are wiped
away.
Upon her breast,
BY her caressed,
He is at home,
And home is perfect rest
Oblivion comes-they err who call IL death
'Tis passing slumber, fraught with untold
charms;
On angel wings the sleepers borne aloft,
The shadows pass, he wakes in Jesus
arms.
Upon his breast,
BY him caressed,
He is at home.
And home is perfect rest.
