there an almost unprecedented passion for
dancing—riot confined, to the world, but
making inroads upon the Church. As re
ligion declines, dancing flourishes. And
who does not know that the reverse is
true ? Who ever knew dancing and par
ties to abouqd,cin a powerful revival of
religion ?n‘.
Bishop 'Meade, of Virginia, declares
that denting is not a " Proper entertain
meneor practice 'for the - Christian;' and
it was the opinion of the late, Bishop
Cross; of New-Jersey, "that the familiarity
consequent upon dances is ,pernicious.
Here is not only 'the pride of life, but the
lust of the flesh:"
Bishop Hopkins, of Vermont, says, " I
am obliged to conclude that the hilarity of
the ball-rOom cannot be truly'harmless. * a
*.`'* 'ln the period of youthful education,
I haVe; Shown that dancing is chargeable
Withlle waste of time, the interruption of
riefid study, ;the indulgence of personal
vanitrand`display, and the premature ex.-
citement of. .passions. At the age of
maturity, * * * its incongruity with
strict Christian sobriety and principle, and
its tendency to the love of, dissipation, .are
so manifest, that no ingenuity can make it
consistent with 'the covenant "of baptism!'
Bishop M'llvaihe, of Ohio, in one of his
Anntutteenvention Sermons, says, " Were
the trial, ,made of a series of dancing assom
bliestmdueted in all respects as becomes
th i rsohiiety ina spiritual-mindedness of the
Character, so that it would' be
nothing inconsistent if every attendant
were a devout and earnestly pious person,
it would need no prophet` to latcdiet,' their
entire failure. The world would ridicule
such a dance, and Christian people
,would
think they had something else to do than
to attend it."
The Rev. M. L. R. P. Thompson, D.D.,,
writes, "I am satisfied, and feel more and
more every„year, that the kind. of social
life with which dancing is connected, is the
source, of the worst danger assailing the
piety of 'the' Church." .
111 r. lloracc Holden, the well-known elder
of the. Brick Church in New-York city, de
clares that " the Church will be engulfed
with the world," if the present un-
Christian tendencies of society are not cor
rected. "The scenes witnessed at dancing
and waltzing parties do not look much like
waging war with the world 1 Here iam
in a vortex; I am surrounded by fashion
able dancing, late-party Christians. My
children are exposed to their influence.
We have no other. society. What am Ito
do ?"
Let me conclude this array of testimony
by quoting a few sentences from Dr. Adam
Clarke's experience in this amusement :
" Dancing was to me an unmixed moral
evil; for although, by the mercy of God, it
led' me not to depravity of manners, it
greatly weakened the moral principle,
drowned the voice of a well-instructed con
science, and was the first cause of impelling
me to seek my happiness in this life.
Everything yielded to the disposAion it had
produced, and everything was absorbed by
it. I have it justly in abhorrence for the
moral injury it did me."
This amusement is often apologized for
by its friends . as a venial offence, in which
the young may indulge without serious
risk. It is a universal feeling that dancing.
is a sad preparation for death. We shud
der to hear of those who have become sick
by the exposures -.incident to this i custom ;
and there is no devotee of pleasure who
would not be horror-stricken at the pros
pect of: passing from the ball-room to' the
bar of.: God. But why this feeling if
dancing be the innocent amusement many
declare it to be
—Thoitsek
But whenee does modern dancing derive
its fashions, and who are they that give
character to it? The apologists for it,
sometimes quote the examples of. Miriam
and David; but the absurdity is laughable;
when we think of the ladies at a dancing
party smiting the cymbals together, and
crying out, in holy ecstasy, " Sing ye unto
the Lord," or of the young men dancing
with all their might before the . Lord and
singing holy but joyful songs ! The devout
Jewess and royal Psalmist are not the
patron saints of modern dancing; nor is
Jerusalem the source whence it derives its
laws. They gay, voluptuous,' and godless
capitals oftheicdd World, and_not, Jerusa- :
lem, are the sources of the modern dance.
Preeminent among 'these is Paris—infidel
even in her gorgeous forms. Paris, having
ample asylums for , her foundlings, but far
too few homes.; ,Paris, with no, Christian
Sabbath Paris, the modern Babylon,
steeped in vice, and most successful,
bea,utifying . the,broad road ;which leads to
death—Parig is the main source; the' c,hief
law-giver of this amusement..
Besides, much of the dancing practised,
is immodest in its character and demoral
ising in its influence. It is useless' to at
tempt to conceal this fact. As a lady of
the old school, who had moved in fashion
abie circles, recently said of the dancing at
our great watering-places, "It is. posi
tively immodest and immoral." Look at
some of the figures which are practised, and
you 'must, carne to the 'Same conclusion.
And it is note satisfactory to., hear people
say in reply to this argument,.",To the pure'
all things are pure. The saying cannot
cover " indecent, dances."
—Kea s
But private dancing is likely to lead to
the more public and objectionable practice.
This remark is to meet those who allege
that they learn the art, or have their chil
dren learn it, in order to Blake them graceful
and easy in society. Such profess to de
plore any tendency to public dancing. But
facts prove how' difficult it is to confine the
habit to any certain bounds. It becomes
more and more fascinating, until it chafes
under restraint, and plunges into the rush
ing stream of pleasure. Many a pastor can
give illustrations of the fact, showing that
even Christian professors have become so
bewitched with this amusement, as to pas.s
the, prayer-meeting by in, going to the
dancing-party.
The -following remarks, on some, of the
eafres "on eihibition at the Fair of :the
American Institute, are the
the pen of
Mr. Olcott, the able: correspondent of the
Tribune,.
Vineyardists- recognize two kin& of
grapes, which are as separate and distinct
in their properties, and, value as can well
be imagined. There is one family whose
sweet and luseious fruit is fit only for the
table; while the other, *hose juice may be
saith,to possess. it high. degree:-of 'acidity
overcome, with a higher degree of sugar and
agreeably flavored with aromatics is the
true wine-grape of the world. The fgrmer,
of which the sweet juiced Chasselas de
Fontainebleau is a type, is termed "feeble
flavored ;" while the latter, represented by
the Catawba, Diana, Isabella, and
,a host of
others, is designated as. " vinous " and
"sprightly." The juice of the Sweet
water, a foreign grape of the Chasselas film
ily, is
_described in the .very name of the
variety, and is nothing but sugar and water
with some mucilage added, and soon palls
upon the taste of the' eater. Let anyone.
who wishes to see the best collection of
seedling grapes ever shown in this city go
to the horticultural show at Palace Gatden,
and be convinced of the truth of what we
say. .Therein also juxtaposition, they will
see Isabellas and Catawbas, and a score of
other varieties—a mere handful, it is true,
of 'the,, hundreds which are known .to
nurserymen, but still embraein„,n. all, or
nearly all, the kinds recommended for gen
eral cultivation. Next to the Isabellas and.
Catawbas lie some bunches of the Northern
Muscadine, a foxy or rank-flavored variety,
which hardly ever ripens in whole bunches,
but separate berries which drop as they
ripen. It ha.s little flavor to recommend it
to ,the delicate palate of the connoisseur
whose taste has been educated. amid better
things; but 'it maydo well enough for
stewing into " sass " for supper tables in the
rut I. "'districts: In close. proximity '"are
several dishes of the Delaware, a grape,
which, after years of opposition and unfair
treatment, has been placed at the head of
the list. Of late years, wherever it has
come in competition with other varieties,
it has received the , preminm ; and a, new
triumph has been, reaped for it at this
splendid show. here are over twenty
varieties qf native grapes on _ the tables;
and among them all, the judges were to
award a prize for " the best dish of native
grapes, one variety; not less than six
bunches." When we state that Charles Dow
ning and William Reid were members of
that Committee, it will be seen that the
charge of incompetence can scarcely be al
leged against it. These men, after trying
all the kinds; gave the, premium. to Mr.
Skeele for his dish of Delawares, although
they themselves are more interested ingthe
sale of other varieties. The Delaware has
a smaller berry than the'Catawba, but it is
sweet to the ,very centre, has,none of ' i tle as
tringency of the latter the flesh is very juicy
with=lames consiatence,;and 'ft 'has "a Pure
vinous life, which is 4 tehiily`remarked by a

stringer at fir,Fd taste. It has been claimed
as identical with the Traminer of Europe,
and a patty with Nicholas Longworth at
it 51169.4"; etontly, opposed its claims to
na ti - vity; but the friends of the Delaware pos
itively assert that it was first discovered and
cultivated Thonipson, of Delaware,
Ohio, and bring a mass of proof in support
of the claim.
Next on the table we see the Diana, a
red grape, originated by Mrs. Diana Crehor,
of Milton Hill, near Boston. This is a
seedling of the Catawba, but much purer
in flavor than the parent, sweeter and more
vinous, free from its astringency. Then
passimg some less 'valuable varieties, we
come to a grape which the Shaker brethren
at Union Village, near Cincinnati, gave to
the world, through the, powerful agency of
Mr. Loagworth, .some twenty years ago.
When its first fruit was exhibited at a show,
it was mistaken by the Cominittee for rare
Black Homburgs, and the first premium
was given it as the best specimen of that
foreign variety, grown in open: air, on ex
hibition. The:Union Village is a seedling
of the Isabella, and has its peculiar color
and bloom; but its size is such that, it is
mistaken for the Black Hamburg. The
demand has ever proved greater than the
supply, for it not only ripens ten days
earlier than the Isabella, but in Ohio, a good
wine has been made from it, without the
addition of sugar or brandy, which cannot
be said of the Isabella.
Next in order of extellence and tabular
position is, the Rebecca, probably a seedling
from the Isabella, and originated by Mr. E - .
Peake, , of Hudson.' It' has bunches of
medium size but very compact ; the color
is green in the shade, but a lively amber
in'the sun, and its berries are covered with
a fine•bloom. Its flavor is sweet and lus
bious, it has no toughness, or acidity in the
centre, • like the majority of American
grapes; the berries are very firmly attached
to the bunch, and it is easily kept,through
out Winter in sound condition. The pre
mium specimens here are exhibited' by
Wm. Brocksbank, of Hudson, N. Y. Bull's
"Concord;'grape,is„not quite , equal to the
Isabellain flavor, but it is much, hardier
and earlier: .It has the very-excellent quality
of ripening more than a degree ef latitude'
further North than the Isabella, and hence
it is fairly regarded as a vabiable acquisition
to the family of `natives.. The "Hartford
Prolific " was taken - wild from the woods ; ;
it is earlier than the. Concord, but not
equal =to it in flavor, and ranks much below
the Isabella; hence it is generally deemed
valuable only•in extreme Northern grape
regions.
Manurial Resources of the Farm
It is a good maxim of husbandry, that" ,
good farm, like a good joint of meat, only
requires basting with its own dripping," or
in other words, that it will furnish offrtielf
sufficient fertalizing material to keep up its
maximum - productiveness. As a general
rule we
.may rely upon this statement, and
we propose here to 'offer a few hints on some
of the manurial resources of the farm..:..
The first grand resource of the farmer
will be the ploughing under of greensward,
—the thicker and the heavier the more ef
fective—to enrich the soil for other.crops.
Without ¢sass as a manure, we should find
it much more difficult_to keep up the* fer
tility of our farms. No other crop is so
constant in growth—early and late, and un
der all kinds of treatment—as that, of the
different grasses. NO other returns' so
great a burden of vegetable.growth to , the
soil, and at the seine time furnishes so val
uable a supply of food for stock, in both
Summer and Winter forage, as this much
neglected, yet everywhere present, product
of the soil.
The growing clover and the grasses lie
at the ; very foundation of profitable farming,
as may.be seen from several points of view.
And first, as above hinted, ploughing under
a thick heavy'grass sward furnishes an am
ple manuring for several successive grain
crops. The decomposition of the abundant
roots and stems of the grass supplies' nu
trition for growth of a different character
and having a greater money value to the
farmer. Ifence it, may bp good policy for
the farmer to give a large share of his labor
and attention to produchig a, heavy growth
of .grass on all lands when devoted to
this crop, knowing that this most cheaply
and effectively prepareshis soil for the-pro
duction of other crops.
In another point, we see that, grass-groi
ng tends to improvement, when it is produc
ed for the consumption ofanimals upon the .
farm. We can have no better resource for
manure than in the practice of stock-feed
ing, and especially is this true of sheep
and fattening stock, and in a less degree of
all the animals of th e farm. Indeed it has be
cOm e an axiom of husbandry that stock -keep- L.
ing must have a place in the management of
every farm to reader it profitable for• a
course of years..
A
A second grand resource of the framer
for manure;.:--for keeping up. and increasing
the fertilityle his farm—is not only, to
pasture and fodder stock, but tofatten them
by the. aid of the grain products of the farrri.:'
This course will not only largely increase the
amount of manure, but will give it, under
proper management, a much greater effec
tive value as a fertilizer. • It was a max
im of an excellent farmer, Mr. Coke, late
Earl of Leicester, " that the value of farm
yard manure-is in proportion to what it is
made of If cattle eat straw alone, the
dung is straw alone; the cattle are straw,
the farm is straw, and the farmer is straw
they are all straw together." And to come to
an authority at home, John Johnston has ad„
vocated this course as the most effective and
profitable for improving the value of our
farms. " High•feeding," says he, " would
rnake higher manuring, by both making a
larger quantity and a much better quality."
A third grand resource may be found in
the inexhaustible muck beds so abUndant
in most sections of the country. These.
contain vast supplies of'" highly coneentra-_,
a
ted vegetable food, not, only, partly eoed,
but seasoned," to quote Dana's "Muck
Manuel." It bas been found by many ex
tensive and repeated -experiments, that (in
the words of Prof Johnston,) "it is only
necessary to mix half-dried; peat with any
substance which undergoes rapid,spontand
'ens decomposition, when -it will more or
less become infected with the same tea
deney to decay, and will •thus be rendered
eakibre--. Ministering - ito. ilia growth. of
cultivated pheats," .We have. in former
volumes given' considerable' attention to
this subject, but its importance will allow
of its frequent recall upon the attention of
our readers.
The fertilizing matters allowed to ,run
waste upon most farms might supply an
other valuable resource for improving their
productiveness. The liquid manure of,
stock, the slops of the kitchen and wash
room, the contents of privies, refuse bones
and waste animal matter—these, and many
other things cumbering,our back-yard and
befouling our cellars and store-rooms, would
form a compost heap of great richness and,
no inconsiderable- value. But we must,
leave the subject with our interested read
ers, hoping each will'ionk about him, and
see what are and how he can best apply the
manurial resources of his farm.--Coun-,,

Manyfarmeii are resigned to a long, egg
less Winter because they will not take
trouble to provide forjhe biddies. Fowls
want a warm Southern aspect, sheltered
flom the wind and.snows, and must have it
if you want eggs.r A poultry-house ought:
to be part of every farm.er's establishment;
but if you - cannot have aseparate'building,i
finish off a part, of the:barn cellar, and.put
a window at the South side, where the sun
'can ;look upon, them for a few hours in
the day'• Furnish ' this room with pure
water, gravel, : old mortar, oyster or clam
shells, or bones, all broken up -finely. Put
a bed of loan or muck under the roosts,
and see that it is mixed with the droppings
once a week. Powl.s suffer more from the
neglect of their faeces, than from any othei
cause. It is entirely practicable to have
fresh eggs all through the Winter, if you
will give your pullets warmth, cleanliness,
and the materials to work with. Meat is
essential.
To Seep Potatoes from Sprouting
To keep potatoes intended for the use of
the table for Spring, until new potatoes
grow,. take boiling water, pour it into a tub,
turn in, as many potatoes as the water will
cover, pour off the water, handle the pota
toes carefully, laying up in a dry place on
boards only one layer deep, and see if you
do not havp good potatoes the year round,
without strings and water ends caused by
growing. The neighbor I got my informa
tion from, says he'has never failed, or had
any trouble from' rotting or sprouting.

Dr. Kendficit: has so culled and woven together the letters,
journals and reminisemices,.placed in his hands, as to make a
narrative which lifrethe veil from every part of en intensely

tory lir agenuine hionan life; as developed in the childhood,
youth and riper years of a sinkularly gifted woman; and a
history so well told, withal, , as to possess the captivating
Power of a well-wrought romance. It will find its way to
tens of thousands of homes, to tell its truthful and eloquent
tale of conflicts' and triumphs; and to impart nevi COncep
tions of graces which adorned, and theprinciples which
governed a character whose" delicate and beautiful- genius"
won the admiration of the most cultivated minds. •

The literary attractions of the volume are *many and various;

During the last fourteen years, some four hand rod pat, n , 9
have been granted on invention's designed to lighte n th .
drudgery of family sewing, and at the same time to
a machine that could be profitably used for nianufaonum'
purposes; but strange to say, out of this large n um ;
- in
Sewing Machines, only some half dozen have been pror tn r .` l
be of practical value; and of this small number, not op. I„,_';
in itcombined the advantages of a family and manuthettrO,.
machine. There are large, heavy, noisy, cum !Ton,
'
complicated machines, designed for heavy work, that antt,. v :
the purpose very well; while there are others of lid .:
mechanism and delicate adjustments, which perform o n 1, ~"
work to advantage.; and while the former ar4
sively confined to heavy work, the latter are of lurk v z::
except on light fabrics. Therefore I take great pleintn r
stating the important fact that Mr. Flows, the origin n i. ':
itentor of Sewing Machines, has recently perfected his ithaty
illachineso as to combine, in a much smaller space and
tar less machinery, the strength and durability of the in u ,'

delicacy of movement and ease of operation peculiar to th
family machine, and which renders this the only machih., in
