But let not the uninitiat ed suppose that by dances are meant -waltzes o1 cotillions, round dances_ or quadrilles, aft of which involve an amount of museular exertion quite inconsistent with Eastern ideas of pleasure. No, the Oriental has a fashion_ of his own in regard to the dance; and whenever be feels inclined to induloe in Terpsichorean „proclivities, he does so not by danc- ing himself, but by having his slaves ItIodt for him: Kings and princes, lords and ladies, recline at ease upon cushions of velvet, whiling away the lagging hours in sipping sherbert from golden cups, scenting the breath of fragrant flowers, or watching the curling wreaths of smoke from still more fragrant cheroots, while bands of. dancing shives exhibit their grace and dex- terity for the enterta;nment of the august company. 1 remember a ball given by a British merchant at the capital of Siam in honor of his Queen's birthday, when several Si- amese robles were among the guests, and in the early portion of the evening, vied with each other in complimenting, their host onthe brilliancy of his• entertainment. knowing hien to be wealthy, con- vivial and fond of display, they nat- urally expe'eted ,something very fine in tho way of dancing. Their sensations may he imagined when the Scotch bagpipes, played byan old sailor, struck up the only music whim had been found available, and the European members of the company went whirling and whiz- zing past as reel, ju and Highland fling followed eaeh other in qUiek succession, Dumb with • surprise and dismay, the nobles rushed en gnasse from the house, entered their boats and ordered the oarsmen to pull furiously for the mission -houses, situated some two miles lower down the river. It was verging to - want midnight, but some of the missionaries were still busy in. their libraries, and the excited nobles, first knocking furiously at the door, and then entering without waiting fdr a respouse, called clamorously, 4 Help, help for your countrymen ! The foreigners at the British go- (lowns are all gone crazy; they are dancing for themselves r—Lippin- cott's 3fagazine, • Laughter. Why, asked Mr. Macdonald, are we Set unready to -believe that there is anything sacr,1 in humor? If there is no laughter in the Divine mind, whence did we get it ? Did any man say, Go to, let us find out something new,' and then hit upcn laughter, cr do we laugh because we cannot help it Again, are we more or less peevish, more or less gener- ous, more or less inclined to, forgive our enemies after laughing After noticing that laughter is never men- tioned in the Bible except with dis- approbation, Mr. Macdonald ayerr- ed that he 'aelieved we laughed more heartily now than people did then, because our minds were easier-Tsince our Lord came, and also said that he thought we never should be half religious until we laughed without fear in the presence of the Al- mighty.—Report of Lecture by Geo. Maqlonald. d Thankfulness. On one occasion, Charles Dickens was upholding the theory that whst- ever trials and difficulties • might stand in a man's, path, there is al- ways something to be thankful for. Let me, in proof thereof,' said "Dickens, relate a story : Two men were to be hanged at Newgate for murder. The morning arrived ; thehour approached ; the bell of St. Sepulchte's began to toll ; the con; victs were pinioned ; the procesS was formed; it advanced to the fa- tal beam ; the ropes were adjusted round the poor men's necks ; there were th uosands of neatly sightseers of both .sexes, of all ages, men, wo- men ancl Children, in front, of the scaffold—when; just at that second of time, a bull, which was being driven to Smithfield, broke its rope and charged the mob right and left, scattering people everywhere with • its horns. Whereupon one of. the • condemned men turned to his equal- ly unfortunate companion, and quiet- ly observed, "I say, Jack, its a good thing we ain't in that crowd '1" ' -441$ • The Defaulting Municipalities. I see by a late issue of the Globc, that a deputation from Stratford has been down to interview the -Ontario Govern- ment in regard to their indebtedness to the Municipal Loan Fund. From that report it seems they were unable to furn- ish satisfactory information, as to • what had been done with the money, and it certainly does seem rather remarkable that, after borrowing and spending $100,- 000, they were unable to inform. the Treasurer of the Province what they had done with it. Living in the adjoining County of Huron, we, who for these by- gone years, have been, paying up our in- debtedness, have often in our unsophicat- ed innocence wondered why it was, and what kind of government We lived under that would demand and take our money for the same debt that our neighbors in the County of Perth, were never asked to pay. The explanation always used to THE HURON EXPOSITOR. be, at firit, Why, PertI34lways dends Toni Daly to • support the Macd nald Cartier, or Cartier -McDonald regime and we were doing. the reverse, and no af- ter nearly paying up all our debt, and having a goVernment in power lwith which we are in= -accord, we think it stranger still, that the County of Pe thkis not called upon to pay its just dues into the. Provincial Exchequer, but is ow- ed in the face of a Statute to the con- trary, to contract heavy debts in the orm of the Railway Bothises or a Bonus for Grand Trunk wOrkshops. as the ton of • Stratford did when the Grand Trunre- pairing shopa were built there, wit tout their doing so ever being called in ques- tion, and, what maks the case still ore unjust to us, the County of Perth no on- ly got $200.000, for railways, but hey i got $88,000 for Gravel Roads'upon w "ich was due (as see Hon. E. B. Wood's dile statement of a year , ago) on the 1st of January, 1871, over $28,900_ for intereRt . which will have increased some $10 000 • more. by the _1st of January, 1873, w ile we have had to build sad pay for our • Gravel Roads out of our own pockets. The Town of Stratford built a ma ket house, constructed a 'road to Millbapk, and improvedthe streets of the tiwn with( the money of the Province, an , af- ter all the increase of property and p pu- lation, the annual value of the town has decreased from $58,913 in 1858 to $.)4,- 367 in 1871, so as not to go beyond the payment which 1859 requires. The on- ly arrangement that is just to the coun- try, is for the people of Perth, ' and Ithe • town of Stratford to_do the same as the town of Paris, and the people of Hu on have done, viz.: put their hands in t eir pockets ,and pay up. 1 hoe that i ow that we have a Reform Government, and a strong one, that they, will be made to do so .--Communicatec/. • AXES.

Provinces of North - America. JBEG Most respectfully to acquaint the Public of, the ltritish North American Provinces that in May, 18U, 1 winged the business; at 80 Maiden- Lane- Now York, for the sale of Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which Were up to that time pre- pared William Brown, now deceased, `to be closed. I regret to say that I have reason to know that the nemegeruent of the late business had fax some years, in runny ways,been moat cor- rupt, and it may be that the Pills and Ointment were not prepared with the care I helve always de- sired. Those who do not wish to be deceived by buying spurious medicines, which are now likely to emanate from the States or elsewhere, to possess themselves of the genuine Holloway's Pills and Ointment, immufatitured by rue in Louden, Eng- land, will do well to see that each pot and box bears the British Governinent stamp, on which is engraved the words, 11,1loway's Pills and Oint- ment, and that the address on the label is 588, Oxford -street, Londonewhere only they are manu- factured, and in no other part of the world. The retail prices ere on the labels in British zunericy, and not in dollars awl (tents. No representative of mine will -ever travel through nuy part of the Britimh Provinces or the United. States, either to Hell or to take orders for my PEN and Ointment, and as I have reasou to believe that attempts will probably be made tadeceive the public; in this way by portions calling upon medicine vendor, falsely representing that, they an. acting fax me and with my knowledge and consent, I deem it advisable ter put the public on their guard agtliDat any ench de-. ceptione. I most earnestly eetreat all those who may read this adeertiseinent that they be pleased, in the public interest, to einuninnieate the purport of the same to their friends that they may not be defrauded of their wormy by purehasing, perhaps, worthless imitations of the genuine Holloway's. Pills and Ointment. I would ask,as a great laver, that, should it come to the knowledge of any per - sun that spurious medicines are being made or sold in my name, he be pleased to send me all the par- ticular -1i he can collect respecting the tonne, that is to fifty, the name and address of the vendee- who is selling the spurious medicines, and likewise the name and address. of the House in the United States or elsewhere; which rimy have supplied theni so as to enable ine,, for the protection of the pub- lic, to institute preceedings against such evil- --. doere, and I engage to remunerate very handsome- ly any pergola who may give mc. such information, • the informant'sname never being dirulged. Should any person have reason to believe that he has hecuLdeceived by buying spurious imitations of these medic -hoe, he will do Well to. send in, in • a letter, to the address tit hart (-which be can do at a cost of six cente in postage), one of the books of instruction which are affixed to the same. I prom- ise to examine it and send a reply, stating whether the medicines are genuine or not, so that, if syn. rious, may apply to the person from whom be purchased them to have his money returned. Chemists and Druggists who desire to obtain the medicines can be supplied at the lowest wholesale Prices, in quantities of not less than $20 worth -- viz., 8s. ca., 22s. and 848. per dozen boxes of Pills or pots of Ointment, net. without discount, fo which remittance muse be sent in a.dvanee. . I have the honor te be, With great respect, THOMAS HOLLOWAY, 558, Oxford street, (late 211trand,)Londown, Oct. 1, 1871.
