The following popish miracle is taken from the Amsterdam
Courant, of the 2d instant.--- 
They write from France of the 28th ult. that as four young
woman were dancing country dances at an inn in Soissons, the
host was carried by the door to a sick person; the young men
kneeled down and paid their adoration, but the young girls
kept dancing on; that it was asserted there, that for their
irreligion, in not paying their devotion to the venerable
host, they still continued dancing when the account came
away, which had made them so lean, that they looked more
like skeletons than living creatures.
