By the aiuio logics it might be discoveied that there are higher ideals than graceful dancing hud we the time to ! instance acquainted with them.

It is the law of influence that we become like that which wo habitually admire; through all the range of society, literature, history and biography this law presides. Men are mosaics of other men and past events. There was a savor of David about Jonathan and a savor of Jonathan about David. Jean Valjean, in the masterpiece of Victor Hugo, is Bishop Bienvenu risen from the dead. Metempsychosis is a fact. On the doctrine of influence, in fact, the whole vast pyramid of humanity is built. The law of assimilation is the truth that the mind, memory, transfers into the inmost sub btance of our existence, and holds in permanent reservation all the fleeting things that we see or iear. No one knows how this miracle is performed, but the fact remains that the past is not only fcussed in our memories, but it is a part of us. All things that we have known, seen, felt, believed cf the surrounding world are now within us, have become part of us, and we are changed in their image. Not only this but we reflect this image o that our friends, and even the casual observer, can tell, almost at a glance, what we are. We may deny it, we may resent it, but they are there. These things, these books, thess events, these influences, these scenes of dancing, sound of sweet music or the orgies of carousal aro our makers. In their hands aro beauty and deformity, life and death. When once the image or likeness of any of these is fairly presented to the soul, no power on earth can hinder two things happening it must be absorbed into the mind, and forever reflected back again from character. Such being th facts it sometimes seem marvelous that more care is not exercised in the shaping We have of ordinary events of every day life. known towns (Nephi is a city) to average from one to three dances a week the year round, and not one event for the diffusion of general literature in the entire year. We have known communities of young women to have no higher ideals of man hood than a graceful dancer, and likewise the young men. It mattered not for the deformity of the features by depravity, nor for the strength of breath from booze, just so they were good dan cers. And not only this, but the remaining few evenings of the week are so overcrowded with nocial events, at which the prevailing program, as chronicled, is cards, dancing and a midnight supper, that tho popular and intelligent young man or young woman has no time to become acquainted with otfeer pood things. Wo do not wish to bo understood to infer that the above amusements aro bad. On the contrary But we believe them to be good in their place. what we do mean to say emphatically is that there should be other amusements and events besides those which upjcal to mere scnsuaiity.lt requires a diversity of amusements, a diversity of events and a diversity of things to round out the well balanced intellect, and lit us to comieto for the pleasures ar il appreciate the beauties oi life Had Bunyan and Wallace pnu to dances and socials fix nights out of the week it is safe to say that Pilgrim's Progress" and "Ben Ilur" would nev- . er have been written.
