Growers Lament.

Am I my substitutes ghost;
Or do 1 yet exist in blood and flesh?
/ do; / do. and yet in
What mental anguish do / live,
Considering. as / do, that
1t has come to this:
When my name
In all parts of the world
Doth stand as a thing reproachful,
And my acts are held in detestation
BY patriotic people everywhere, and, too,
In the first year OF my reign.
Oh, deliver me from Gresham!
Disentangle me from the embraces
OF that Hawaiian wench,
The espousal of whose cause
Hath wrought my everlasting ruin.
And undone me as never was
Mortal man undone before.
Dash the day 1 ever set eyes on Blount,-
Yea, Blount, Of Georgia,
Whom 1 made paramount.
He, too, pulled wool over mine eyes
And caused me to get my foot in it;
Yea, both feet, up to the knees.
The cares of state rest heavily
Upon me without such burdens
AS Gresham and Blount,
And gloom as black as the skin of Queen
Ill
Doth fill my mental cavities,
And nowhere doth there come a ray of
light.
But stop!
There is Congress, and into it's lap
I'll dump Gresham, and Blount, and Lii.
With a dull thud,
And let such statesmen as Bynum
Daily with the dusky Queen
To their hearts content.
And ~relegate 70 Voorhees,, too,
This Hawaiian question for settlement.
This happy thought
Carried TO its consummation
Doth take a heavy load from mine heart.
And may, perhaps, rel, we me

INJURIOUS MODERN DANCING.
What Physician Thinks of the Art as
Now Practiced.

What Physician Thinks of the Art as
Now Practiced.
The art of dancing as practiced by
the Greeks and Romans was useful
form of gymnastics that they held in
great esteem, regarding it rightly as a
means eminently suited to develop the
organism. We mast confess, however,
that in our times this art has degen-
Grated, says writer in the European
edition of the New York Herald, and
can be called unhealthy in the great
majority of cases and not in all, as
dancing in the open air in the daytime
may have decided merits. This is
never true for balls given in rooms
filed with people, overheated by a
quantity of lights, and with the at
mosphere thoroughly poisoned by the
very causes without which ball can
not be brilliant.
1t is scarcely necessary to. refer to
the dust of all kinds, to the innumera-
bic microbes that the dancers send fly
ing into the air, nor need we speak of
the untimely strain imposed on the
organism which, at time when it
ought to be at rest, is on the contrary
over excited. What greater mistake
than the midnight supper at which the
most unwholesome things are eaten
and drunk? The guests bolt in a very
short time food that is generally heavy
and washed down with strong wines,
and this is scarcely over before the
dancing is resumed, against the most
elementary rules of common. sense and
hygiene. Nor is this all; it is not only
the body alone that is concerned, as the
mind has it's share in this fatigue by
l. Il.
versation, music and flowers.
1t is quite usual after a ball to find
that the action of the heart shows
traces of fatigue, particularly in deli
cate young women, who complain of a
vague sensation of uneasiness, sadness
and even of pain, and are, in a word, in
peculiar condition that is not yet dis
ease nor is it health-much nearer the
former than the latter.
Diseases caused by dancing are COM
moner in women than in men. The
most frequent are larynigitis, particu-
larly in women who talk a great deal
while dancing; colds, bronchitis and
sometimes pneumonia and pleurisy.
Dancing should be absolutely forbid
den in all cases of consumption, which
may assume a very rapid form from
this cause; it is counter indicated, as
well, in all cases of heart trouble.
Physicians are unanimous in con-
demning dancing as it is understood at
present, but it might be made a
hygienic exercise if it were executed in
the open air and in the daytime. and il
the amount of exercise were. in proper
ton to the strength of the dancers.
Like all other bodily exercises, it
should be used in moderation.
