COUET COSTUME AT ST. JAMES.
There is a rumor that Queen Victoria ia
abont to abrogate the regulations of her court
which obliges her own subjects to present
themselves before her in a prescribed cos
tume. The rumor rests upon an article in
the London Times, in which the court cos
tume now in vogue is mercilessly ridiculed.
The following is an extmet:
” The court dress of our times is the court
dress, or, indeed, the ordinary evening dress
of the early Georges—it is not a time honor
ed costume. It is, however, so remote from
tbe ordinary form and fashion of the days in
which we live, that it is an anomaly. It is so
far -from our customary habit, and yet was
worn so recently by all, that it has just drif
ted down to the servants’ hail and carriage
board. The masters iiave done with it; the
rapier apart, it has been imposed npon our
(ootmen. This is true as far as firm is con
cerned; in the bright and dazzling choice of
colors the footmen have the advantage. But
why should an English gentleman f'e com
pelled to wear a rapier at t|ie court of his
sovereign, when if he wore it aDy where else,
it would constitute a very sonnd link In the
chain of evidence which wonld consign him’
lunatic asylum ? Nothing can be more
ridiculous than the aspect of a poor unfortu
nate individual who is compelled to wear this
ridiculous appendage twicc or thrics Y*r,
but who never wears it save on compulsion.
Englishmen don’t carry arms’ rrow-o’-dsys,
save at seasons of alarm about burglaries and
garrotte robberies, and then they carry a re
volver. h Our cavalry do not wear chain ar
mor-j our club men do pot carry swords by
thplr sides when they run in to see the even
ing*# paper; why should the plain country
gaatlepMh be forced to carry arms, effeti
tbough they be bat arms of soreraany, when
be preMUts bpoKli ttoowk/”,,-’

•• I’m sorry,’* says Dan, ai fieknoefead tbe
ashes from bis regalia, as he *#t in a small
crowd over a glass of shefry, at Florence’s,
New York, one fevehfttg*; “ f’si sorry that
the stages aro disappearing so rapidly; I
novas enjoyed travelling dh well us in Hie
slow coaciies. I’ve made a good many pas
sages over the AUegbasief. aud across O|iio,
from Cleveland to Columbus and Cincinnati,
all over tbe South, down J2ast and up Korth,
in stages, and I generally bad a goo<l time.
•* When 1 passed pver from Cleveland to
Cincinnali (he last time, in. the stage, J met
a queer crowd — such a corps, such a time
yon never did see; I nevqr was better anitis
ed in my life Wediad a good team—spanic
ing horses, and one of tho drivers you read
of. Well, there ware uine ‘ insiders,’ and 1
don't “believe there was a stage full of Xfl*rls
ti-ms ever started before so chock full of music.
“ There was a beautiful young lady going
to one of the Cincinnati academics ; next to
her sat ir.Tew pedler—for CoWes and a mar
ket ; wedging him ill waa a dandy, blackleg,
with jewelry and chains around his breast and
neck-—enough to bang him. Tliere was my
self and an old gentleman, with latgu spec
tacles, gold-bended eanet anand a
f-1 (dering-iron looking nose: by him was a cir
eue-rider, whose breath Was enough to breed
yellow fever, and could he felt just as easy
as cotton velvet 1 A cross old woman came
next, whose look would have givpn any rea
sonable man the double-breasted blues before
breakfast; along side of her was a rale back
woods preacher, with tho biggest and Ugliest
mouth ever got up Muce the Bood. He was
flunked by the low cnmrneduin of the party,
an Indiana hoosier, ‘gwine down to get an
army contract’ to supply ftie forces jTien in
Mexico with bit#. ‘ ’• ‘
*‘ We mlMkalwng for same time, nobody
seeming iiiclined to ‘ open,’ Tbe old aunty
sat bolt upright, looking crab apples and per-
Simmons nt tbe 1 looser and the preacher, the
young lady dropped the green curtain of her
bonnet o<sb#fer pretty face nnd lehned back
in her seat to nod and dream over japonicus
and jo rubles, pawtaletle* and poetry ; the old
gentleman, proprietor of the Bardolph nose,
looked out at tlie ‘corduroy’ aud the swash
es; the gambler fell off into a doze, and tbe
circus covey followed suit, leaving the prea
ches and me rii-d-i is, and saying nothing to
noliody. ‘ Indianny.* he stuck bis mug out
of the window and criticised tins cattle we
now and tlie® passed. I was wishing some
body would give the conversation a sjart,

“ • This ain’t no stock country,’ says be to
the old gentleman with the eane.
“ 4 Nibsir,’ says the old gentleman. ‘ There
is very little grazing here, nd the rouge is
protty much worn out.*
“ There was nothing said again for o long
time. Hitnoby the hunsier opeued again—
“ * It’s the and est place for siininoii-trecs
and turkey buzzards 1 over did see 1’
“ Tbe. old g<mt leinau with the cane didn’t
say nothing, and tin- preacher gave o long
groan. 1 The young lady atniled through her
veil, and the old lady snapped her eyus aud
looked sideways at the speaker.
** * Don’t inuke mneb beef here, I reckon,’
saps tjggnoosier.
“ ‘ No,’ says the gentleman. .■•••
“ • Well, I don’t see how in h—ll they til
manage to get along in a country wbar thar
aiut no ranges, and they don’t make beef.—
A man aint considered worth a cuss in Indi
any what hasn’t got his brand en a hundred
head.’ ”
Yours is a great beef couitry.l believe,”
says the old gentleman. .
“ WeH, sir, it aiut anything else. A mas
that’s got sense enough to fuller his own
cow-bell aint in no dnnger of i-tarvin.
I’m gwine down to Qrleana to see if I esut
g't a contract out of Uncle Sam, to feed the
boys what’s been Imkin them infernal Mexi
cans so bad. J h ’pose you’ve seed them cuss
ed lies what’s been in the papers about tbs
lndiany boys at Bony Vioty.”
‘• I’ve rend some accounts of the battle,”
says the old gentleman, “that didn’t give a
very flattering account of the conduct of
some of our troops.”
“ With that, tbe lndianny men-went into
a full explanation of the affair, and, gittin
warmed up as be went alor.g, begun to cuss
and swear like he’d been through a dozen
campaigns himself. The old preacher look
ed at him with evident signs of displeasure,
twistin’ and groanin’ till be couhlu't stand it
no longer.” t .
“My friend,” says he “ you must excuse
me, but your conversation would be a great
ileal ipoie interesting to me-—and I’m sure
would pleare the company much better—if
yon wouldn’t swear so terribly. It’# very
wrong to swear, and I hope you’ll res
pect for onrfeelius’, if you bain’ no respect
for yonr Maker. “
“ If tbe tioosier had been struck with thun
dor and iightniii’,Tie couldn’t have been more
completely tuck aback, lie abut hie month
right in the middle of what be was eayin’,
and looked at the preacher, while bis face
got as red as fire.
“’ 8 wearinY aays the old preacher, is a
terrible bad practice, an there aiut no use in
it, no how. Tbe Biblesaymswear'not stall,

“ The old lady sort of brightened up—tire
preacher was her ‘ duck of a man;’ tbe old
fellow with the * nose’ and cane let off n few
‘ umph ! ah tnnplis;’ but * lndiany’ kept sha
dy, lie op pea red to be cowed down.
“ I know” says tbs preacher, “ that-a great
many people a wear without thinkio’,. and
some people don’t b’licve the Bible.” .
“ Aud then lie wedt on to preach a regu
lar sermon agin .swearing, and to quote scrip

In tbe course of bis nigurncut* be undertook
to prove tbs Scripture to be true, aud told

MBS. VWISSH2LM OB DABCIBO,
In sn article of pur la6t issue we rpcomen
ded dancing as a substitute for pmmiacnoiut
kissing, in socml parties. For this, tbe Qev.
Mr. Inman, in a public seimon, bas adminis
tered a very severe reproof. He takes the
ground that dancing is insuperable from
drunkenness and. quarrelling, and that al
though the mete act of dannng is nq more
sinful than the raising and letting fall of his
arm*, rn pttblic sjieitking, yet, the practice
sbotlld be abolished on account of its India

floor she was disgraced, dishonored, Ac. ;
With all due Ott I ference, we must say I, Jiat j
such assertions arc simply absurd. David
called npon the people to “praise God Iri
dance,” Did lie hiean for them to get drunk,
have a knock down and dishonor their aieiglr
borr, wives and dittrghters, by WaJ of prais
ing God ? Did David 7 and Miriam, and the
virgins of Israel hnvo a fight and knhek
“down when they danced T and when Salomon
tells ns “ ‘lTiere is a time to dance,? did be
mean that that was the time for a general
broil 1 All this is simply ridiculous,.arid, the
religious prejnd-cies against dancing 1* with
out a shadow of a foundation In the BlbitL—
Tho good book Mentions dancing in twenty
different places, and never once with disap
probation.” “ V i.q.; 9(H I : SO-a* ir.i^
We think it the best social amusemnnt we
know any thing abont, and that so for from
being a sin, it h a duty, a it, more than any
other exerenie, ia cuteulated to promote
health of the body ami mlitd. The fact
that it is liable to te abused is no more ar
gument agaihst it thrtn fbefaet that eating Ik
generally carried to eifcess, if not jllittoßy,
is an argument against taking regular meals.
Dancing Wants to be regulated, ntef aboi
iwhed. Young people should hdt be driven
from tho well regulated family lo enjoy a re
laxation that nature so impemrively de
mands. This act, as innocent in itself as tbe
raising of an arm, abonld riot be banished to
batons of vice, to a'dd the witchery of it*
attractions to the tempting bowl. No fami
ly is not welt managed Where tbe : yoißgg
folks cannot dance without going to a tavern,
where they will he liable to witness a scene
o* drunkenness and quarreling. Amuse
ment of any kind at midnight, ia sinfnl, be
cause it violates the command, “Thou Shalt
not kill.’* in that it shortens the lifo by de
priving the system of its natural rest. Sat
nvday evening amnsements are seldom right,
because they cannot always be so conducted
as not to hinder proper preparation for and
keeping the Sabbath.
But dancing is not necessarily connected
with midnight, wr Satnrday night, or any
concievahle wrong. We have been in tbe
habit, for full twenty years attending dancing
parties, now and then, and we never saw
any other social gathering go off nore inno
cently, and with less of evil and mote of good.
We never taw a fight connected with a dan
cing-party, but we have seen a little child
after dancing her hour, and theo saying her
prayers, preparatory to going to bod, look
up and any, “Mother, is not God good to
make as all so happy to-night.
He farm tbe mode of dancing. Do as tbe
sensible Quebn of England has don*. Ban
ish all dances which permit personal liberties,
and bring to period too the art of graceful
and joyous motion* in harmony with aspir
ing auric.. We nay “graceful” motion, and
no movement that savers of indellioaey or
coaraenoas, can bo gcaenfari. There are few,
more pleasant sights in this world, than a
troop of dancer*— ** >• ir.- *to -v* U
