So:nt di-vu>sion has lately taken place
several papers respecting dancing, and

ficfM'u, a scholar of some note, embraces
frbaps ;]1 that en be said in its favor.
.. letter from Paris, be says—
Oil ?nnda\ only th c-legunt n tunda* arc
% ■ 1 aui very tar from approv
,i,' ol dancing on tin* day if one can help it;
; .t ! i.ave no doubt that in a city like Paris, the
dancer* are more taken from the taverns thai!
the churches. Ido not approve, either, of the
absolute denunciation this elegant amusement
jc.i - from many of our religious classes in
America. If human virtues are put up at too
tgii a | rice-, no one will bid for them, Net a
vor is- sa:d against dancing in the Old and New
Titi;ncnt, and a great deal in favor. Miriam
i!;. need, you know how prettily; and David
C ee l before the Lord \v ilh all" his might. If
yu wuil accept classical learning, 1 wiil give
\ u pedantry. The Greeks ascribed to dancing
act lest ;al origin; and they admitted it cvtn
ngst the aceomplishiacnts and the arnuse
i.itiiis ol their divinities. The Graces are rt-p
---ented almost always in the attitude of dan
c g ; and Apollo, the most famous of the gods,
the god of w isdoni too, is called by I'andar
._• • dancer. Don't s.iy that dancing is not a
:urai inclination, or 1 will set ail the savages
t ,i you ol the Rocky Mountains; and 1 don't
know how many ot the dumb animajs—espe
c.ally the bears, who, even on the South Sea
1.-l.n.ds, w here they could not have any relations
•>v.;h the Academic lloyale dc Musique, always
express their extreme jov, Captain Cook savs,
b) tiiis agreeable agitation of limbs.
For my part, I apprehend that the issue
is formed is not put forward in the form
'. hit it ought to be. The question is not
a 'tie confined to mere dancing as a recrea
t n—against that few have objections—
but the consequences to which it leads.—
These, however, the advocates of dancing
do not touch upon. A private party of
ladies and gentlemen, who are tn the habit
of associating villi each other, may meet
and dance to their in art's content, and un
fa —. as is frequently the ease, they become
more boisterous than they ought to be in
"their joy," no; more than one in ten will
rind fault with them. Another part\ of
persons may hold a dancing party (as for
instance those lately held in the Town
Hall, atid if proper care i- exercised in
ting those to be present, and due deeo
i an observed, but little cause for condem
nation exists. }l< re. however, the " favor
able" ends, and ** be ve temperate in all
tiling's"—quite asgood authority as Miriam,
liavid, ike.—comes in with its decree. So
- m as bails, with their train of dissipation,
c me into view, dancing in an evil, because
i; is well known that but few such gather-
; ngs nowarlavs take place without someone
r< ug about who keeps his spirits up by
pouring s[ irhsdown, A" as a matter oi'course
ufcr* profane and Ml lgar language, such as
no father or mother desirous of training
children in die path of duty would wish
their daughters to be listeners of. Again,
when it comes to public balls, it has a strong
tendency to create a feeling for dress in
many girls who can ill afford to follow
their more fortunate associates. Many a
young lady thus situated is satisfied with
her ordinary dress when visiting a private
party, or even a cotillion in the flail, bc
'fiS' she know that th'* persons w ho v. ill
t there are limited in number and those
v. honi she meets frequently in society.—
Hut at a public bail this is not the case.
When in\ ited, she feels a strong desire to
■ dressed as well as the best, and to gratify
that desire often deprives herself of other
matters more essential to her comfort and
happiness than dancing can ever be. On
v .eh a subject it is hardly necessary to di
late, as a desire for dress is to the young
lady what the intoxicating cup i- t< the
i oung man who does not possess moral
courage enough to resist the importunities
of his boon companions, who gradually,
but surelv, sinks in degradation until that
cup becomes the bane of his existence, the
sham* of his relatives, and he falls to rise
no more ! So too with many a young and
giddv girl. A desire for dress, first engen
dered in the ball room, has grown upon Iter
until her means arc exhausted ; she stints
her.-cif in other respects, and still fails to
equal, rival or outshine those with more
bundant means; atid then to gratify her
; as-ion for this "innocent amusement,"
this accomplishment to give grace and ease
to her manners, she too falls, to rise no
mure ! Let it not be said that this is an
overdrawn picture; it is unfortunately
drawn from life, and more than once have
i seen the spot where rest the remains of
orie who often shone in the ball room in
all the pride of health and beauty, but who
ui an evil hour laid hands upon that which
v.:s not her own, in order to gratify her
j -non lor dress—and from thenceforward
there was but o tie step to ruin, disgrace,
' rid death. •

The General Conference of Seventh
-1 ay Baptists recently issued an address to
the friends of equal rights and religious
freedom, in which tbcv strongly deprecate
the attempt* now bcin" made to legislate
lor the eoinpulsory observance of the first
day, as contrary to th<- spirit and intent of
the Constitution. After quoting largely
from the writings of Washington, the pro
ceedings of Congress, and judicial deein
ns they say —
"II tjie Constitution may !>• infringed
iq>ut to put down the observers ol the
seventh day, no one can say how long it
v ill be before other minor denominations
r.-.a- be put dov, u too. Already attempts
are making to exact a confession ol faith,
unknown to the Constitution, as a qualifi
cation lor a legal oatfj. If" the religious
•anc'.iiieation ol tin* Ist day of the week

o mar the forms and hours of worship.
lie wiio savfc, that tin re is no danger of
'•'a latter being enforced, while statutory
Rguiations t lolatc IWO of the most Hatred

'.tows >ut little of the history of mankind,
or pay s but little attention to the tendencies
ol human nature. A single standing vio
lation ol the Constitution is au example
and an authority* for others to follow. One
rehgio US observance established by law,
ts tlie admission of the main principle of
national hierarchy, and will come in time
to be referred to as authority for similar
infractions of the Constitution.' The laws
mr the observance of the first day are in
Let a union of Church and State. It is
not pretended that they arc designed to
subserve directly a political m*civil object.
It is altogether a religious object which
they subserve. It becomes everv friend of
equal rights, as he loves the Constitution
ot his country, to oppose these infractions
ol its just principles, until equal liberty is
secured to all citizens by statutory provis
ions, as by th" fundamental laws of the
nation."

EC O\OTIY."The amount of m-mey deposited
in the Savings Rank of Great Britain is over
sterling, or more than one hundrel
millions of dollars ' This is an enormous amount
: of money, and is the savings of many who have
labored hard, and by pursuing a habit of strict
economy they have succeeded in maintaining
themselves handsomely, and laid up a compe
tency tor old age. The question then arises,
what is true economy ? In the exerc.se of econ
omy it i- essential t have good ju igtru rt—a cor
rect notion of matter* and things. Every indi
vidual has in the course of a life luro* to purchase
a large amount of goods, even if fur h.* or her
own support, merely. It will, in the course of
years, amount to a considerable sum. Then the
way to practice economy in this r- *peet is to
buy for CASH, as it is very dangerous to go in
debt, particularly with the storekeeper*. Buy
for CASH, and buy always GOOD GOODS, and as the
lowest prices; and to enable the public to get
! goods of every grade and quality, at the low,-t
possible prices that they can be sold over tin
cost of manufacturing, C. L. J<*vr i- conduct
ing a large establishment on the CASH SYSTEM,
and his business has now grown to such an enor
mous extent that he buys nearly all hi- goods
directly of the importers and manufacturer* for
cash, and sell* them at thesmallcstconsidei able
profits, u:.d in this way fie is enabled to *eii hi
goods at least TWENTY PER CENT, lower than ail
otlo-r merchant:*. Let any one make a rifi' la
tion of the amount of goods they would proba
bly buy in one year, and they wiil find that
per cent, or one-filth of the amount would fie a
considerable item. Let lhi run on for *onie
years, and they will have a sura saved in amount
of no little consequence.
It is now admitted by all other merchants, as
well as by the public generally, that <■. L. J ONES
has the large-t and best selected stock of goods
ever shown before in and that !.<•
can undoubtedly buy goods cheaper than anv
other merchant—his business being sa large ar.d
purchasing in such immense quantities.
Country persons visiting Lewistown to pur
chase goods for CASH will soon 0c convinced of
the foregoing facts, by calling at the Celebrated
-Vnr Chi ay ('ash Stare of C. L. JONES, and in pro
portion to the population of this country with
Great Britain, the amount cf savings might he
quite equal, and probably greatly exceed the
estimate made.
