DALL-ROOH DISSIPATION. jk Prm on Delivered y the Rev. T. De Witt Talmas;e,at the Second Dutch Re fcimid Cknrch, Lt ETinlng! SPECIAL RBTOBTFOR THB ETBNINO TBLBOBArB. Last evenlnfc the Socond Dutch Reformed Church was crammed as usual; the aisles were filled, the pews were crowded, the vestibule Ihoronghly occupied, and even the steps of the pulpit appropriated, by the people assembled to hear a sermon on "ball-room dissipation, " one of a series conducted by the pastor (Rev. T. De Witt Talmafcc. Congregational slnglnff Is a upecmity of this church, Inasmuch as all sing, with a grand effect, under the leadership of tho quartette choir the two Misbcs Frenfield and Messrs.

Alter the usual In troductory services, the pastor delivered the iollowing iermon, which is here given in full, e'rawn from the text: " The daughter of tterodias darwedbeforc them Matthew xv, 6. It is the anniversary of Herod's birthday. The palace is lisrbtud; the highways leading thereto are ablaze with tho pomp of. invited fruests. lords. captains, merrhant princes, and the michtiest men ot the renlra are on the way to mingle in the festivities. The tables are tilled with nil the luxuries that the royal purveyors can gather spiced wines, fruits, and rare meats. The puetts, white robed, anointed, and per lumed. take their places. The jests evoke roars of laughter; the riddles are propounded; repar tee is indulged; the toiit-ts are druuk; tho brtln beloused; wit drowned, uorour and blasphemy bciTm." Turn on more liplit!

They never saw such poetry of motion. Their souls whirl with the bounding feet. Herod fomets everjtbnift but ihe fascinations of Salome. The niatrnificPuce of all his realm is nothing with that which now whirls belore him on i'tip-top." His heart Is in transports with Balome: her arms now tossed in air, and row placed akimbo, lie sways m every motion of Lis enchantress. He thrills with the qui 3k pulsations of the feet, and sits bewitched with the takini? of attitudes thiit he never saw before, in a moment exchanged for others just as ama zing. He sits lu Bilence oeiore the whining, bounding, leapiug, Hashing wonder, and when the dance stops, and the trumpets pause, and the loue, loud plaudits that shook the palace with their tnuuders had aoated. the entrauced monarch sware unto the princely perlormei: "Whatsoever thou r-hult ask of me I will give it thee, unto the half ot my kingdom." Now, there was in prison a minister by the name of John the baptist, who had made much trouble by preaching politics. He hud de- nouueed tiie sin ot the kin, and brought down upou himselt the wrath oi the females lu that royal family. At the instmation of her mother, Salome tnkes advantage of the king's extrava gant promise, and demands the head ot Joau the Baptist ou a dinner-plate. T&cie is tuo sound of heavy feet and the clatter of swords outside the palace. Swing back the door; the executioners aie returning from their awful errand. They hand the platter. What is on the platter ? a new tankard of wine to rekindle the mirth oi the lords? No! His redder than the wine, and costlier. It is the ghastly, bleeding head of John the Baptist; its locks dappled with gore; Its eyes tet in the death-stare; the distortion of the last snony is in the features. Behold the work, the iufluence, and the end of the Infamous daneer ! I come to night to answer a question which every minister of Christ is called to meet, and which I can no longer avoid without lack of frankness. 1 have no sympathy with either party of extremists in the church upon this eubject. I am by natural temperament and religiois theory utterly opposed to the posi tion of those who are noi rifled at every demonstration of mirth and playfulness in social life, and who seem to thiut that the sal vation of the soul and the honor of the Church depend upon the btyle in which people carry their feet. On the other hand, I can see nothing but ruin, morally and eternally, in the dissipations ot the ball-room, which have ulready despoiled thousands of young men aud "women of all their dignity of character, useful ness in life, or hope lor eternity. Dancing nas been styled the graceful movement of the body, adjusted by art to the measures or tones of instruments, or of verse. The nations have danced ! The ancients thought that Castor and Pollux had tir.-t taught the practice to the Lace demonians. But whatever be its origin, all climes have adopted it. In other days there were festal dances, funeral dances, military dances, domestic dances, mediatorial dunces, Jiaccbiinaliun dances. Queens and lords have Bwayed to aud fro in their gardens, and the rough man of the backwoods in this way roused up the echoes ol the forests. There seems to be something in pleasing and coherent sounds to invoke the movement of tho hand and toot, whether cultured or uuculiured. Wen in the street unconsciously keep step to the music ot tho pasting band; aud Christians in church find themselves beating time with their feet while their souls are uplifted with some great harmony. While in brilliant circles, in plays conducted by some great artist, the richlv apparelled guests balance in the very bewilderment of splendor: the red men of Oregon are celebrating their scalp dunces, green corn fiance, ana war aanccs. it is no abstract question, then, when vou ask me, "is it riphtto dance V t he ancient Fathers, aroused by the indecent dances of those days, gave emphatic voice against auy participation in the dance. Paint Chrysostom'says "That we are not to go oil dancing, but to walk modestly; not to leap' impudently, like camels." In the documents ot the ancient Church we read: "A dance is the devil's possession, and he that en- teretn into tne dance entereth into his posses sion. The devil is the guide of the middle and the end of the dance. As miuy faces as a man makcth in dancing, so rnauv faces doth he make in hell." Ubewhere these old documents declare: "Tho woman that siuneth in the dance is the princess of the devil, and those that answer are his clerks, aud the pluvcrs are liis pansnioucrs, ami me music are the bells, and the fiddlers the ministers of the devil. It is when hogs are strayed, it the h csherd call one, all come together; so the devil calletli one "woman to sing in the dance, or play on some Instrument, aud presently all the dauccrs pat her together." This indiscriminate denunciation grew out of xne utter dissoluteness or these ancient plays, bo ereat at one time was the offense to all decency, that ihe Roman Senate decreed the expulsion ot all dancers aud dancing-masters from Rome. But we are not to discuss the customs ot that day. We are to talk of the customs now. We cannot let the Fathers flecide this question for us. Uur reason, en lightened by the Bible, shall be the standurd I am not ready to excommun'cato all those who lilt their feet beyond a certain height. I would not ttand to watch our voiith with the ritrnr nf critieUm, if it would dampen all their ardor of eoul.

God bless the vonngl They will have to wait many a day if they want to hear me say one word to dampen their ardor or clip their wines. Poor wav to prepare young people for the tug of life, by telling them It is hard anrt dark and terrible. Wo such thing! You will meet with many a trial, but, speaking from iny own experience, I tell jou that you will be treated a great desl better than you deserve. Let us not grudge the young their joy; as we go further on in lite let us go into the expe rience of that we had In our gleeful days. W hen old age frosts our locks and stidens our limbs, let ti not block up the way to the young, but sav "We had our eood times; now let others have theirs." As our children go on, let us chccrlully give them our places. Right ulau will 1 be to let them have everything my bonks mv pulpit, my place in society, ray name, my herltnge. By the time we get old we will have hHd it our way long enough. Then let the children come on, and lor a while have their way. After the thirty, or forty, or tlftv years wo have been drinking from the cup of lite, we ought to pass the cup along, and let others drink. But while God bids us into the enjoyments of lile, I never will countenance sinful indulgence. 1 come to-night to set forth a group of what might be called the "dissipations of the ball room." Tbcy swing an awful scythe of death; and are our ministers of Christ to stand idly by, to let the work go on, lest in the attempt they tread upon tho trail of some popular vanity ? The whirlpool of the ball room draws down to day half the life, and beauty, and moral worth ot this city. In this whirlwind of imported silks goes out the life of many of our first taml lies. Bodies and 60uls innumerable are an nually consumed in this conflagration of rib bons. They are the abettors o' pride, the insiigstors ol jealousy, the sacrificial altars ol health, the defilcrs of the soul, the avenues of lut, ana the curse of the tongue. The tread otthis wild, indiscriminate, heated, midtiigbt dance is dangerous to all tho ('amity hearthstones and moral advancement of the city. The phys'cal ruin is indirect. What is to become of those who work all day and dance all nighl? A few years will turn them out cough ing, cadaverous, exhausted imbeciles. In the Book of God, those who have given up mid nigbt t spiced wines and hot spirits, and ride home through the winter cold, unwrapped from the e cnicms, will be recorded as suicides. Thre is but a short step from the ball-room to the graveyard. , There nre consumptions and fierce neuralgias dote on its track. Amid that glittering ilhss ot ball-room splendor disease stands right and left in balance and chain, a sepulchral breaih floats up am id the pcrfume.and the lroth of Death's (lip bubbles in the cham pagne. .Many of our brightest homes are being sacri ficed. There are families that have actually quit keeping house and gone to boarding, that they might devote themselves more exclusively to the higher duties of the ball-room mothers and dauthttrs, lathers and toils, finding their chief enjoyment 10 tne dance, pure well to books, to quiet culture, to ull the amenities of home. The lather will, niter awhile, go down into lower dissipation; the son be tossed about in society a nonentity; the daughter elopes with a French duueing master, anajthe mother still trying to keep in the differing circle by every art, coaxing color to ner cheek, and wrihkles otl Iron-, tier brow, attempting, with out success, ull the arts ot the "b'lle;" an old flirt, a poor miserable hutterily without wines ! the tirst time vou bud thete faithful disciples of the ball-room suddenly engaged, and happv in the duties of the home circle, send me word ! roriwould go a arcat way 1 1 see such a phe nomenon.

From tho table spread, at the close of that exhausted and bssweated scene, who went nome to say ins prayers? A young woman once began to be thoughtful about the things of eternity. Her mother, ob serving thai si-iious meditation, said, "I will give you a dress that shall cost S500. and you may weur it to the ball. 'Iheio vou will get rid of jour serious impressions. " She went, and wore the dress and thought no more of religion. A lew months pussed, and the daughter came to die. w ben ner ntuo was uiawiug near, 6he said: "Mother, bring me that dress which cost $500." The mother bi ought it. "Hang it ou the foot of mv bed." This was done. Theu said the child: "Mother I that drtss is the pri nf my sow!'' h.:; How multitudes waste anu lose ineir i-ouis. Alas ! to many this life is a masquerade ball, as ut sueh entertainments gentrteiuen und ladies appear in diess ol Kings and queens, ud clowns aud mountains bandits, and at the close ot tho dance thiow otl the disguise.

Whatever force the reason ing carries, is doubly applicable to a periodical term of recreation and rest. Nightie the time which nature has clearly marked out for rest. It is ample for that purpose. What men want is relaxation from a condulng occupation, exer cise in the open air, to develop the dormant mental energies, to promote health, to invite social communion. "Cheerfulness is the health of the soul, and innocence Is its foundation. It makes us happy in ourselves, agreeable to others, and pleasing to the Lord." While we boast of our freedom from the tyranny of Great Britain, the mora;! slavery she imposed on Uo enchains us sull. All the tyranny, all the acknowledged corruption ot a prortigaie church, accumulated in past centuries beyond our control, the Pnrnans imported hither. The robbing of the oor man's little pleasures, the ecouiging and the puolic exposure ol pious len.alcs, tne hanging of Quukcrs tor honest d'Sscnt, the burning of innocent women lor that phantom of superstition, witchcraft these wicked and debasing principle sstiil abide here, a curoe and a blight upon our freedom, and they wait only for a liivoruble moment to renew their works of darkness. Our luild religion is not stringent enough to give to theChuich that complete porer it seeks; hence the lute dancerous cabals among the modern l'uritaus to control legislation, and lo revive against the poor the severities ot tne Jewish law, lrora which the new dispensation came expressly to redeem them. Jesus and His disciphs enjoyed their walks through the green fields, gathering fruit on tne Jewish Sabbath; they feasted, and cheered their hearts with wine. On Sunday they did every thing they perlormed on ull other days, making no distinction. In preaching against this ex ample, our modern Pharisees virtually condemn Jesus aud His Apostles as lutidels nud uulioly transgiessors ot what they please to cull the law ot Gcd! To him who calmly looks into the depths of these errors, the course of these' misguided men is impious beyond expression. No plea of antiquity cr example can excuse tho sacrilege. What pb'a. indeed, can justily the savage de nunciations ot what are styled the Saobath conventions, against the righis of conscience of those w ho hold opinions different liom the;n on this subject? He that has traced in hintory the insidious advances of the Church, under a show ol zeal, towards the usurpation of power, must see in this scheme a bold thrust at our liberties, a vital stab at the rights of conscience. Kvery man who hrnors the gilt ot freedom, for which our Ancestors bled, should awaken to a sense of bis (lunger. Why wa-te our sympathy ou the pcor bondman to bodily servitude, while we sec our own people bound band and toot, and carried uway into moral slavery, under the jurisdiction ol a'proud hireling ministry? Let our Legislature have a care. If the people ot this couutry, easy os they are ot imposition and slow to anger, should get a glimpse behind the viil ot mock piety, and see the true utent of this scheme against their right of conscience, a fearful retribution will be exacted. The national pride has already been aroused, and a strong rariy is now organized to shake off the remnant of the foreign yoke jet clinging round our necks. The Christian religion is republican as it exists in tho Gospel, and so ft should be here; but the Church that tyrannizes over our people to-day only usurps the name it is anti-republican. During fifteen hundred years it has been moulded under monarchies, in'rigid adaptation to that lorm of government which we abhor. It is a loreign enemy in disguise, daily and hourly undermining the temple of our liberty, it is the ouly hope jwtc remaininq, the only tool that Europe depends upon to destroy our hated republican freedom. Mark already how it has mixed a Legislature to violate our Con stitution, by cuaeting sectarian laws respecting particular, days and suppresing innocent em ployments. Mark how, by exciticg unholy prejudices, it has cried down liberty of con science, and stilled the right of iuquiry and free investigation into doctrines and practices of the Church. "A Reasouer," "A Free Thinner," "A lice Inquirer," "An Investigator." Oh, how shocking ! What reflecting man docs not know that only a strong necessity lor conceal ing some dark and duniuing scheme of wrong could urge it to veuture ou this dangerous ex pedient, thus setting its lite on the mere hazard of perpetuating our ignorance and blindness. If we should detect among our political parties a well oiganized system of persecution against every mau's business, to compel him to vote as diitetcd, would we not rise as one man to cru-di a purty, and to redeem the purity of the elec tive franchise? Is it not ot vital importance that a iiee expression of the popular will should be secured upon all subjects touching t he pub lic welfare? Then, why were the citizens of Philadelphia denied this privilege by our last Ltgis.ature, in regard to the Suuday car qinsiion? This plainly shows that this blessed privilege to the poor man which ought to distinguish free nu n from serfs, has been insidiously taken from tho people by the Church. Already it has ob tained a foothold in everv Lcgisluture, &nd in spaeof constitutional guards, we are taxed to pay for its usurpations. By improper influ ences exercised there, it lias formed an uncon stitutional Hague with our Government to ex empt its most profitable property from paying its share of the public expenses, to etop the public mails, to arrest the poor man's pleasure of riding in a Sunday car, to rob him ot this innocent recreation on particular days which i(etfc'slor the great markt t-dau of the Church the busy day t lie working, money-gatiitrmj day of tue Priesthood. Tins they call "giving the day to God." Is it not too pluiuly giving it to themselves? And using lorce to compel all men to go to thetr market, by shutting up every other avenue of exit, from the confinement ot their homes? Is this the mild pcrtuastun Christ lauiiy relies upou, or is it the force reported to by all im postors? And where is American freedom aud right of conscience ? Yours reppectttilly, JosErn T.
