With but little LABOR,
For with all my heart and soul
lido love my neighbOr.
And I've preached the word, I know,
For il was nv duty
To convert the stubborn heart

Once again success has crowned
Missionary labor,
For her sweet eyes own that she
Also loves ner neighbor.

4 This is the season which is seldom
made notable by brilliant society iunc-
tions. The devotee has had a surieit
Of the entertainments at the resorts,
and the season a. home cannot be said
Pve fairly begun. So the average
Clety maiden spends q large portion
her time, during these autumn days,
with her mOdisie in arranging cos
y tunes for the winter campaign. For
her leisure hours, there are many pleas
ant memories OF cOuqueSts made dur
Ing the summer, aud pleasurea9le an
HcipaJion OF coming events, TO occupy
her thoughts. Besides there are mauy
lObg standing social Obligations, which
mist be discharged. There are a mum
Der OF calls 20 make, and thus 10 hap
pOns that persons are thrown together,
and exchange experiences of the past
few months and ideas for the future, ard
talk about the thousand and one mat
tiers in which tie feminine heart de-
lights. Yet the past few weeks cannot
be said 10 have been dull in a social
way. There have been several very
pretty weddings aud not a few inter-
estiug entertainments. The affairs
which have been given, however, have
been Of such a nature that the invita-
tiOn lists have embraced only Intimate
friends. There have been very few
elaborate functions
* . E
Devotees OF Terpsichore are discuss
ing the dances which will be popular
during the winter months. The Amer
lean Society Of Dancing Masters has
adopted a number Of new dances, but
not more than one or two will be intro.
duced in Wheeling this year. The
Society Minnet, the Brunswick Ca
price, the Curanta and the
Arlington, are a quartette OF new 6g-
ureS which promises TO become popular
in the East, but may be dropped before
they reach Wheeling. New dances are
Ike popular songs. They are the rage
for q season, aud then quietly drop out
Of sight, only 20 reappear 10 another
form a few years later. Every deyOtee
can recall many examples 10 bear out
the truth OF this assertion. They ap-
pear TO strike tue popular fancy, and 10
chaoge ia form with every caprice Of
fashion. There are songs which never
\ lose their popularity, melodies in which
one is constantly discoveri7EKew beau
lies. So TOO, there are dfNces which
are standard, like the w1Hz, the polka,
and the schOttiSche. INere are varia-
NcS5SST10hs OF the step, but
' tbV Foundation Of all dances lies In the
three mentioned, and they will retain
their favor as long as dancing continues
TO be a feature Of social entertainments.
The ''two-step" is i graceful movement
which promises TO fad a place on the
programmes after many other new
dances have been discarded. IL is also
whispered about 10 that contagious way
10 which matters social spread, that the
YORK and Newport will be ~favOrite
dances in the East during the winter.
