S.-We labour before the Lord on
the first day of the week.
D.-In either sense it is a prodigious
abomination, and our missionaries ought
to be sent to enlighten you.
S.-Friend dost thou confide in thy
faith?
D.-Yes. S.-So do I in mine.

D. Yes, I have the evidence in the
church.
S. Then, friend, if thy bible deceive
not thou thyself will yet have a merry long time of dancing. D. This is wors't of all; you may make all the women of Israel dancers and king David to boot, but mind, you have now got a Deacon of an orthodox

mine to remain in peace.
D. I feel it my solemn duty to warn
you to beware of dancing, as you would the wrath to come. (No answer.)
D. You are in a state of sin and
moral darkness; will you shut your eyes against the light of revelation?
S. Nay, friend. D. Then how can you dance, or la-
bour as you call it, without scripture au-

take that for answer. S. Then thou already deniest thy faith in being one of the ransomed of Israel,
for God hath said, "Again I will build

The following dialogue, between a Shaking Quaker and a new-created Dea con who happened to put up together at a public house, we copy from the
Stafford Gazette,-published there as an original communication. We think it worth publishing, and have no doubt of its veracity.]--Castigator. DIALOGUE. Enter Landlord.-Friend there is a
traveller who has put up with me who
does not wish to be with the multitude
in the bar room or sitting room, and as my house is now full, cannot accommo-
date him unless that you will obligingly permit him to sit in your room until he retires. Shaker.-Yea, if he be a sober man, I have no objection. Land.-I thank you, I will introduce him.-(Exit.) Enter Landlord and the Deacon.
Land.-This is the Gentleman, Sir.
for whose introduction you gave consent. -(Retires.) Shaker.-Be seated friend before the fire. (The deacon sits down.) Deacon.-It's a cold night. S.-Yea. D.-It is rough sleighing. S.-Yea. D.-I abominate a Tavern.-(No answer.) D.-I sometimes think a tavern a
meeting house for the ungodly.-(No
answer.) D.-Their Dancing Halls are worse
than the bar rooms, when they are used for dancing.-(No answer.)
D.-The church to which I belong
and in which I hold the office of Deacon,
condemn dancing as the worst of sins.(No answer.) D.-You belong to the Shaking Quaker Society, I take it. S.-(After a pause.)-Yea, I am a member of that people. D.-Do you hold any office among them? S.-Yea, that of Brother. D.-I suspected that you belonged to the C-n-ry Society, and that you was the man they call Deacon Ld---ly/ S.-I belong to that Society.
cease to speak further thereof.
D. If you can produce one text in
the whole book to countenance dancing, I will cease to speak further.
S. Friend thou art kinder than I ex-
pected: I will answer thy request three
fold upon thine own condition; and first for
the dancing of a prophetess. "And Miriam, the prophetess, the sister of Aaron,
took a timbrel in her hand: and all the
women went out after her with timbrels
and dances." Ex. chap. 15, verse 20. Dost thou think, friend, if dancing was not acceptable to Israel's God, that Mo-
ses and Aaron would have suffered their
sisters to have danced before the Lord the moment they had escaped the Egyptians and miraculously passed through
the Red sea?
D. 1 have no recollection of that
text; I will take it down, and after read-
ing it show it to our minister; but you will proceed with the rest.
S. "And Jepthah came to Mizpah
unto his house, and behold his daughter
came out to meet him with timbrels and
with dances, and she was his only child, beside her he had neither son nor daugh-
ter." Judges chapt. 11, verse 34. Jepthah was a Judge in Israel and favoured of the Lord; canst thou be-
lieve he allowed his only child to dance if
it was wicked? and would she go forth to meet her father in a manner not truly
acceptable to him? D. I have noted it down with the
other. I have heard that the Shakers had a bible for themselves; proceed.
S. "And it came to pass, as they
came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistines, that the
women came out of all the cities of Israel
singing and dancing, to meet king Saul with tabrets, with joy, and with instru-
ments of music." 1 Samuel, chap. 18,
verse 6. Now, friend, Israel, was a fa
voured people of the Lord, and would the women "have come out of all the cities of Israel singing and dancing" before Saul and David for the great victory, unless it was approved by
their God? Nay, friend, they would not have sinned against God for the victory and deliverance which he had given. D. Admit your texts are from the true Christian Bible, they do not prove
that men or boys were allowed to dance;
phetess of God.
D. I hold it my duty not to say one
word more to you.

six wives, who live together with mutual good feeling. Those, however, who have a number of wives seldom keep more than two or three in the same lodge the others live with their relations or friends. The women marry when quite young; generally at the age of fourteen or fifteen; and it is uncommon to see a woman at the age of twenty who has not been married. The married women generally remain virtuous and faithful to their husbands; to whom they often become attached by the strong tie of affection ; and thfl greater part of the married people live together in friendship until death.
