DANCING.
[Fur the Uuntingdon Globe.]
Although much has been written upon the
subject of dancing, it is but seldom we see
anything in its favor : indeed, all writers
upon this subject seem to hold but one opin
ion respecting it, viz: that it is immoral, and
that its tendencies are only evil. It is wor
thy of notice, however, that persons who
have written upon this subject, have been al
most invariably of one class, viz: ministers;
and, though, I - would not be disrespectful
towards them, I but give expression to my
firm conviction, when I say that from the na
ture of their occupation and surroundings,
they are, of all other men, least capable of
forming a correct opinion respecting it; for
the reason, that from time immemorial, it
has been customary with them to denounce
this particular amusement, and in youth,
from the influence of their teachers, they be
conic early imbued with sentiments of hatred
and opposition to it ; and in after life, being
restrained by the habits and dignity of their
profession from mingling in the dance, are
prevented from experimentally acquainting
themselves with its nature and influence, and
are, therefore, incapacitated to form a proper
judgment respecting it. Their opinion, then,
upon this subject, is entitled to no more con
sideration than the opinion of a person re
specting the nature or merits of any other
subject with which he had littl or no ac
quaintance : nor, will it do for them to say,
that, although practically unacquainted with
it, they can .yet, from their observation of
its effects, form a correct opinion respecting
the cause. That would do very well if they
would take its legitimate effects,_ and from
them, argue the character and tendencies of
the cause; but, their being already preju
diced against it, renders it highly improba
ble that they would pursue such a course ;
upon the same principle all that wo are in the
habit of 'considering lawful. and right, may
from its abuse, be proven unlawful and
wrong.
In my earlier years and from the teachings
of loved relatives, I had formed a strong
aversion to this amusement, and really be
lieved it to be the embodiment of all the bad
things that were said of it. But this was but
an instance of mind placing too implicit cre
dence on testimony, without examining the
facts. In later years however, experience
and observation, have led me to change my
views, or rather those opinions which in child
hood I was instructed to entertain, and I now
not only look with favor upon dancing, but
believe it to be entirely proper and useful.
But here it must be distinctly understood
that I have reference to those dances only
which arc used in strictly respectable circles.
_Although my experience in dancing is not
very great, yet it is not altogether inconsid
erable, and I belive it to be sufficient to ena
ble me as far as experience can, to form a
proper conception of its nature and tenden
cies. Yet, in doing so, Ido not mean to rely
wholly upon my own experience, especially
when my views are opposed by venerated
christain character and talent. There is one
touchstone by which I would test it. "To
the law and to the testimony, if they speak
not according to this light, it is because there
is no light in them."
I propose then, to show that my views upon
this subject, are supported by the bible, na
ture and experience. From the bible we
learn that it was the practice in the earliest
ages of the church, to give expression to the
emotions of joy, gratitude, and thankfulness
by dancing. Thus: "Miriam and her com
panions gave expression to their joy at de
liverence from, and triumph over their ene
mies, the Egyptians." Exodus 15th and
20th.
"Thus, the daughter of Jephthah and her
companions rejoiced at her father's safe re
turn home after subduing the children of
Ammon. Judges 11th and 34th.
" Thus, the women of all the cities of Is
rael came out to meet David and Saul, after
baying overthrow n the Philistines." Ist Sam
uel 18th and 6th.
" Thus, David danced for joy and gladness
when the ark was brought from Gibeah to
Jerusalem." 2nd Samuel Gth 14th and
16th.
In Psalm 30th and 11th ; the Psalms says:
" Thou had turned my mourning into danc
ing." Psalms 149th and 150th, may also be
referred to, and likewise Matthew 11th and
17th, which all go to show that,,the dance was
a common custom and source of amusement
among the Jews, from the time of their es
cape, from Egypt until the time of the Sa
viour, and that it was used upon all occasions
of national or individnaljOY or gladness, and
it is noticeable that in the majoritY-df the
passages cited, music is Mentioned as an ac
c, .
ornpamment to the =dance, plainly shelving
that,in the main at .least, their dancing, was
very similar , to our own.. Yet, nowhere in
the 'Bible is dancing denounced, "which 'is
very singUlar, if, it be true, (as many of our
leading divines unhesitatingly assert it is,)
that dancing is immoral, and that its tenden
cies are only evil. -It is singular"that, when .
every other national sin Vfas decried, both by
the prophets. and the Saviour,. that this one
of Asuch fearful' magnitude and iMportanbe,
should be omitted - or forgotten. But I will
go- back- again to the 'Bible, and refer to one
other passage which, even if it.stood, alone
in that "book of books," would be sufficient
of itself, to establish the morality of dancing.
Jeremiah, 31st, 4th and 13th, where God, in
reference to the re-instatement of Israel in
their own land in the latter days, says:—
"Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be
built 0 Yirgin, daughter of Israel, thou shalt
again be adorned with thy tabrots, and shall
go forth in the dances of them that make mer
ry." And again in the thirteenth verse :
"'then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance,
both young men and old together, for I will
turn their mourning into joy, and will com
fort them and make them rejoice from their
sorrow." To all unprejudiced minds, this
surely must be sufficient to sot this question
forever at rest. The time to which these pas
sages refer is, after the restoration of the
Jews to their own land, and their conversion
to the faith of Messiah, Bon David, whom
they will then acknowledge as he who was
the babe of Bethlehem, but now " the won
derful, the counselor, the great and mighty
Lord," and by this very acknowledgment and
return to the faith of their fathers, be restored
to more than their ancient privileges as God's
own peculiar people, and it is in this condi
tion and under these circumstances, that God
has promised that the virgin, the young man
and the old, shall rejoice in the dance to
gether. Surely, if it was immoral, God would
not allow them to pollute themselves with it.
And if we look to nature for her voice upon
this subject, her answer may be found in the
straight limbs and stalwart forms of those
who practice it. And what is better adapted
to enliven the mind dispirited by reverses,
no matter of what kind, or to dispel the
gloomy shades of melancholly generated - by
harassing cares, and which frequently bring
the mind complacently to plan a suicidal
death, than the dance? And one can hardly
tell whether the body or the mind is benefitted
by it quickest or most. It certainly exerts a
powerfully vivifying influence upon all who
place themselves within its - reach, banishing
torpidity and sloth, and awakening every
function of the soul to life and energy. It is
particularly adapted - to the young, and no
more healthful an- exercise could be desired,
nor one , Which will give more brightness to
the eye, or• pleasure to the heart, strength to
the enervated system, or will sooner rejuve
nate premature• old age. Behold that little
child, hoW she jumps and skips, and claps
her tiny hands, as she alternately laughs and
sings, while froin the cellar to the attic,. she
romps in Wild and childish glee, ever arid
anon giving expression to the cause of that
joy - which has so elated her little heart, in the
announcement, " Papa's coma home 1" "Pa
pa's coma home !" And do we not see this
same thing acted out every day of our lives,
by " , children of a larger growth," whenever
circumstances occur, which gives joy or glad
ness to their hearts. And what is it ? but
the actions which flow from natural impulses
which the Creator has implanted in the heart
for like purposes. And where, let me ask, is
the difference between the movements of a
person at such a time, and when engaged in
the dance ? save, that the one moves to regu
lar time and music, and the other does nut.
Does the addition of music then, make those
motions immoral or their tendencies evil ?
In conclusion, I will offer a few reflections
upon those passages of scripture which have
been adduced in support of my views. Would
it have been deemed a suitable time to dance,
that which Miriam choose immediately after
a stupendous supernatural deliverance, the
author of which all Israel knew and feared,
had it been so great an evil as is frequently
represented, or even so light and frivolous,
as some would have us believe it ? Or would
it, in the ease of the daughter of Jephthah
and her companions, have been deemed wor
thy to celebrate a nation's joy at deliverance
from oppression ? In the case of David, when
the Ark was being brought to Jerusalem,
from the house of Obed Edom, it is stated
that " he was girded with a linen ephod," an
article worn only by the priests, showing
that he was ministering in. a priestly capa
city at the time, and to show how God ap
proved what he did, when Meld!, his wife,
ventured to rebuke him for his conduct, God
visited her with a judgment, which, to women
of her nation and times, next to death, was
the worst calamity that could befall her.
It is my pleasure to have the acquaintance
of pious persons who dance, and who have
frequently gone from the evening party to
their knees, there to supplicate " Our Father
in Heaven," for his guidance and blessing,
and thank him for the mercies of the past
day, of which,. the privilege of dancing an
hour with friends, endeared by the ties of
blood, similarity of disposition, or personal
attachment was not the least. And there is
nothing in dancing to prevent those who are
so inclined, from doing likewise.
Much more might be said to sustain the
propriety of dancing, and to show, as I have
endeavored to de, that the dance, when under,
the control of reason and judgment, is not
immoral, or its tendencies. evil. It may riot
he amiss to remark here, that what I have
said, is not intended to illicit a discussion of
the subject, but merely to set it in another
light, and to the writer of this article, a more
correct one than he has yet seen it in any pub
lic print, and if it prove the Means of remo
ving prejudice from the mi.=.-.ls of any, hith
erto not fully assured of its innocence, will
fully answer the purpose of its preparation.

" Witchcraft " and Agriculture
Pliny has recorded the story of an indus
trious and ingenious husbandman, who, be
ing in advance of the knowledge of his time,
cultivated a small piece of ground upon an
improved method, by which he gathered much
more fruits, and reaped larger profits than
the neighbors about him, though their pos
sessions were more ample. His uncommon
success excited their envy, insomuch that
they brought this accusation against him :
" That by sorcery, charms and witchcraft, he
had transported his neighbors' fruits, fertili
ty, and increase to his own fields." For this
he was ordered peremptorily by Albinus, a
Roman general skilled in agriculture, to an
swer the charge before him. Cresinus, fear
ing the issue, resolved upon his best defence,
brought his plow and other rural implements,
and displaying them openly, he set there also
his daughter, a lusty, strong lass, big of bone ;
then, turning to the citizens—"My masters,"
quoth he, " these are the sorceries, charms,
and all the enchantments that I use. I might
also allege my own travel and labor, my
early rising and late sitting up, and the pain
ful sweat that I daily endure ; but I am not
able to present these to your view, nor to
bring them with me into this assembly."—
This bold and open defence captivated the
people ; it proved the coup de main which
turned a doubtful result to his entire favor ;
he was pronounced " not guilty," and those
present took note of his inventions. This
story, though not strictly belonging to the
history of our own island, is derived from
those who aro said to have first taught to the
Britons the art of husbandry. It may, there
fore, be fairly employed to show that the first
improvers of agriculture had their days of
trial; that in all ages and countries, and in
every path of inquiry and invention—in the
discovery of the rotation of crops, as in that
of the rotary motion of the earth—a Galileo
has had to answer for his daring, before some
embodiment of ignorance constituting an in
quisition.—Philip's History of Progress.

rr H E LIVER INVIGORATOR !-
E. PREPARED Pit. SANFORD.—Compoundcd en
tirely from GUMS is one of the best purgative and Liver
medicines now before the public, that acts as a Cathartic,
easier, milder, and more effectual than any other medicine
known. It is not only a Cathartic but a Liver remedy,
acting first on the Liver to eject its morbid matter, then
on the bowels and stomach to carry off that matter; thus
accomplishing two purposes effectually, without any of the
painful feeling experienced in the operations of most
Cathartics. It strengthens the system at the same time
that it purges it; and when taken daily in moderate doses
will strengthen and build it up with unusual rapidity.
The Jiver is one of the (principal regulators of the
human body; and when it.l performs its functions well,
the powers of the system 5e !are fully developed. The
sTomAcit is almost entirely dependent on the healthy
action of the LivEn for the (...) proper performance of its
functions; when the stomach is at fault, the bowels
are at fault, and the whole C .-, system suffers in conse
quence of one organ—ilie, Liver having ceased to do
its duty. - For the diseases) of that organ, one of the
proprietors has made it his H. 4 study, in a practice of more
than twenty years, to find some remedy wherewith to
counteract the many de- y rangements to which it is
liable.
