> ffTMJEEN Dancing . —I dare say tny reader has wwed the scarcely disguwfed in « Mtti ^ ice ntfith whidh ° 1 It votaries of Terpsichore look on at infantine danc-. nPfhabs he has feltit hiihself- —perhaps the writer Sdone 80 in his time . Yet the dancing of children ;« « oo 6 h , asiflfift 8 ^ . » - * 4 - *^ pw % ^ ft ?; and I have er felt this more strongly than on occasions when the floor ¦¦ has suddenly "been taken possession of hy own ^ up danfjerei in amtiiediate succession -to these Sfcle ones . « on > pfere | he . perforinances of Ihoth , and vou will ndt need a better proof that grace is natural and not acquired ; nay more , that it -may : be lost hy over training and artificiality . I was following with of little briht and
my eyes the crowd gjoyous ( things , thinking there was grace in all their movementstna . ce equally in the ^ erfeiJt Saucing of some , and in flie bounding aisr ^ gara of art in others—in then- hold ness or hashfuQness—deniureness or riot;— -there was erace , I thought , in the small curly , velvet-tunick-ed foy of seven or eigKt jnillmg the touslin ( Skirt of a pretty lass of ten , with the urgent plea— - "I say , will you dance with me > . ? do . now / ' and in the precocious coquetry of the Wo-taileaiairy as she disengagedheiv self with a pirouette from the hands of her too juvenile suitor , and flung from fcer laughing blue eyes such an irresistible iinvitatioh to a smart joung middy of the TLavannah as brought him inistantly to her -side .
Away they flew round the room in eadh dthetfs arms and in the polka , tthat -chiidfe dance par ^ ea & eUenoe . and some chord aniny memory had just been struck hy the > p itedus spectacle of < € he jpobr little mortified fellow , < who ; Siting ^ his ^ flng & r = Bnd slowly shdking his wee round figur ^^ tilenglib . ' ran and 'buried his face in the lap fflf « a 'lady ; any attention , il say , was of
thus engfossed > ^ when-r-podf ! 'into iihe ndidst the lilliputian throng lushed -ja human avalanche , in -the shape of a fulUgrown-r-Ja very iull * grown < cbu ]) le ^ of polkists ! The -cavalier -though mqb ; . old -was fattish , and had a small round spot Of baldness dn ihe tsirown of his head , theladyanBxojebitarit crenoline . $ he poetry of the scene vanished in a moment' !—0 w Antipodes , iby ; IiEBlJ .

The IiATXGHrN & ZMssjus ^ . — - 'He commences , then , by alow cackling sound , gradually growing louder , like that of a hen in' a'fuss . Then , suddenlychanging his note , he so closely imitates Pundh ' s peiinyibrumiset that you would almost swear it was indeed the jolly " roo-to-to-too" of that ^ public favourite you heard . Next comes the prolonged bray of -an ass , -done to the life : followed'by an , aTticulate -exclamation , apparently
addressed . to the listener , 'sounding very like " -0 # hat a Quy \ " And the Whole winfls up withiaisuppressed chuckle , endmg in an' Uproarious burst of laughter , which is joined in by a dozen others hitherto sitting silent . It is impossible to hear with a ; grave face the jocularities of this feathered jester . In spite of all reasoning I could never help feeling'thafc it was myself he was quizzing !— "Our , Antipodes , 'by COZ . OMSI . MlTNDT .
The ViETtrES of a SiJiK UstbbeeIiA . — -It is a prevalent idea among many men , that a silk umbrella is an exceedingly genteel thxr } g . They therefore have an article of this < idnd , which 'they are * always carrying in a neat , careful manner ,-so as to show that 'it is-silk . They seem \ to feel as if they ^ thought all right when they have their silk umbrella in their hand : it is a kind of paterit . of , respectabU % . 'With'a silk umbrella , they could meet . the highest personages in the iland , and not bo-abashed .- ^ OAmrtfor ^* Pooket Miscellany vol . iv .
