THE DANCE OF MODERN SOCIETY. This is the title of a new book, by W. C. Wilkinson, the substance of which appeared not long ago. in The Bapttst QwtrterV It is the most. pow erful onslaught that has been m a d e upon this fashionable amusement. The book critic of /6e Independent says of the writer : Ile indicts not dancing,. but the dance. The present question is not of o f dancing in the abstract. Dancing does not exist in the abstract. It exists, like most things, in aa, certain way. It is of dancing as thus practiced lie a. cer tain way," that he speaks. This—the dance of modern society—he formally indicts in a plea eloquent, impetuous, powerful. He • charges it with the vio lation of every consideration of health —with ",midnight hours, tight, lacing, raper-soled shOes;" with fostering hab its of extravagance, by converting, so ciety into a spectacular display, ;here everywoman vies, with her neighbor in expensive sacrifices, to the Goddess of Vanity—" the • dance being essentially for the exhibition of the woman as a thing,rather than as a person, as a miracle of 'decorated exterior than as the heir ess of, a'. priceless, heart and ,of a beau tieUl and beautified He charges it with dwarffng, e f and deadening, the social nature,,by ,supplanting • the play of mind with mind by the :stately quad rille or the breathless waltz or galop, quoting as an abit witness the question of a certain Chinaman, who betrayed his innocent ignorance of the thing, but certainly discovered its .utter hollowness, regarded merely as a social enjoyment, when he asked, " Pray, why do you, not let"your servants do that for your if the following paragraphs quoted from the book, can be 'regarded as eV jestionable—what is:th be said of the social monster which they only too faith fully describe ? Let the truth of,,such an open public nuisance , be told, though the heavens should fall! My accusation is that'the dance, in: l . stead of affording' an' opportunity' fcir mutually ennobling 'companienship ,be tween man and wothan, inspired with" a? chaste and sweet interfused renxeln2 brante of 'theiti contrasted "relationship' to each Other,-itictit the dance instead of this, consists -sdritaittbilly offs slated ' of means, contrived with more 'than• human ingenuitylo excite the instincts of sex to action, liewever subtle and dis guised atthe moment, in. its sequel the most bestial find P4B6loll— passion tradsfnrixted if you please never so much, subsist ing lh no matter how many finely conirithted degrees of sensu ality—passion, and nothing else, is the true basis of the , ropularity of the dance, It is , no accidgpt4hat the dance is what it is. It mingles the sexes in such closeness of personal approtich and con tact as, outside of the dance, is no-Where tolerated in respectable society., 'lt doeS, this under a complexity of circumstances that conspire to heighten the imprd; priety of it. It is evening and the hour is late, there is the deliCious and uncon scious intoxication of music and motion in the blood, there is the strange con fusing sense of being individually unob served among so many, while yet: the, natural " noble shaine, which guards the purity of man and woman alone -to gether, is absent—such is the occasion, and still, hour after • hour, the dance whirls its giddy kaleidoscope , around, bringing hearts so near that they almost heat against each Other; mixing.' the warm, mutual breathe, darting the fine personal electricity across between* the meeting fingers, flushing the face and lighting the eyes with; trquick language, subject often to gross interpretations, on the • part of the vile hearted-why, this fashionable institution seems to me •to have been' invented in an unfriendly quarter, usually conceived of as situated under -ns, to give our human 'passions leave to disport themselves, unreproved by conscience, by reason, or by shame, almost at their will. The N. Y. Tribunt of Saturday issued' a quadruple sheet, containing , besides general news, letters of correspondents, editorials, &c., the New Constitutive of the State of New York, to be voted 'upon in October ; and an immense list of in come returns , in the districts immediately' adjacent to New York City, and largely inhabited by the city busiress men.

Dr. Stryker is beloved by, his people, and has bad .a year of great usefulness and decided progress in his church. He feels perfectly at home among his,Pres byterien brethren, and shows no signs, of repenting of his change of relations., We say this, as we understand two attractive, offers have been made to him by Reformed 'congregations, on the supposition that he Might possibly have become hoine•iick.

A record of the watches produced at the Waltham Manufactory may be not improperly prefaced with a brief mention of the g onsiderations which induce us to press them upon the attention ot intelligent watch buyers. Fifteen years' enculteefnl experience jnstifies Us in claiming for the Waltham Watches peculiarities of ex cellence which place them above all feral n rivalry. The s3stern wh.ch governs 'Wax construction Is their most ambit , ' source of merit. The substitution of eta chinery for hand labor has been followed not only by greater simplicity, but by a precision in devil, and ac curacy end uniformity In their time-keeping qualities, which by the old methods of manufacture are unat tainable. The application of machinery to watch-making has, in fact, wroughta revoluti n in the mate features of the busines. In coniuuction with enlarge' power of produCtion, it h.a enabled us to secure the smoothness and certainty of movemrmt which proceed from the perfect adaptation of every piece to its place. Instead et a feeble, slugaish, variable action, the balance, even under the pressure of the lightest main-spring, vibrates With a wide and free' motion. The several grades of watches have more than a general resemblance each to its pattern; they are perfect in their uniformity, and may be bought and sold with entire confidence as to the qualities we assign to them. These general claims to superiority a , e. no longer Contested: An Ntigli,lt watchmaker, in a recent lecture before the llorological Institute of Loudon, describ.ng the result of two menthe close observation at the va rious manufactories in the United States, remarks in reference. to Waltham : "On leaving the factory, I felt that the mattufactere Of' watches on the old plan was gone." Other foreign tnakers, some of them eminent, have publicly borne the same testimony. They admit that: the. results aimed at in &trope by slow and co,tly processes are here realized with greater certainty, with an almost aksolute uniformity, and at a cost which more than vompensates for the, difference between manual , labor in the Old World and the New. lint we assert for the Waltham Watches more than a gener 1 superiority. Their advantages, in respect of qualitY andprice, over English and. Swiss watches, aro not more marked than are their advantages over the products of other American manufactories. These are p ,sitive in their, character, and, are the natural cause qiiences of Ilia precedence we acquired in the trade, and the proportions to which our manufactory has attained. No industrial law is better established than that width cheapens the cost of an article in proportion to the mag nitude of its production. The extent of our establish ment—the combination of ski led labor on an extensive scale, with machinery perfect and ample—enable us to .offek watches at lower rates - than these of any other manufacturer. The aggregate Of profit is the end i•ept in view—not the profit on any single watch. An I, act ing - on this pen:tattle, with reduced coat of production and an ever widening demand, our watches are offered at prices considerably below the watches of other Amer icanmakers, comparing quality with quality. Oar an neat manufacture is doubleithat of all other makers in this country combined, and much larger than the en tire manufactui6 oftrigland. , . 'The conditions which makes this cheapness possible are also fitimrable to the eicelledce of our work. Our artisans long ego ceased to . be novices. Time and effort, under a superintendence' which' conibines the subtleties of science with the strength of practical skill, have pro duced a body of artisans whose efficiency is for the time rti,.emin s ent. We have the best workers in every de pal insenCthet are admilable—wOrkers whose expertness and experience would alone' sufficient- to secure for Waltham high position: Among other tributary causes, may be,stated the readiness, with which each succeeding invention and improvement has been tested, and if approved; adopted. We are always ready to ea -amine whatever experience,er art, or skill may suggest, but we adopt nothlngtuntil experimints , have demon .strated its excellence.- In pursuance- of this rule, we have brought to, our aid all the mechanical improve menti mid valuable invention's of the last fifteen years, whether home or foreign in dieir origin. We have thus acquired the eachisive peseeinion of the best and most valuable improvements now known In connection with wateh•asakllg, andxecured fur the, Waltham factory a force and completeness not shared by any similar es tablishments in the world. These constant efforts to perfect in all ways, and by alipeans, both the machinery of the factory and the construction - of our watches, have placed within our means the prodiiction of a greater Variety in grade and finish thatfothei' American makers have attempted In the manufacture of very fine'watches we have no com petitor in the United States and only very few in Eu rope.. . „ The'varkins styles of these watebee have undergone the severest trials in the service of - P4ilwaY . Engine's s, Conductors and Expressmen, the most exacting class of watch wearers, and the presence, of over 400,000 Wal tham Watches in the pockets of the pegle is the best proof of thelitiblic apPioVal, and most . 13.3 accepted as coriclusivaortheir snrierioritPhy discriminating Watch buyers, especially so since the ImPoriant matter of price is also very greatly in favor, being at least twenty - .five per cent. cheaper, quality ,:tot quality, than those made elsewhere in the United States.
