SKATING BY THE FIREsIDE.-An enterprising lad
once asked his sage parent, we forget OF which gen
der, to be allowed to go a swimming, and received
prompt consent, with the observation that he
must keep clear of the water. This has been a
good joke for many centuries, and promises to go
down with all the honors to posterity. 1t would
have been thought, short time ago, perfectly
PARALLEL jest to tell your son to go skating pro-
vided he did not venture on the ice Not so now
You may SO in good faith, that is, if you pro-
skates alluded to in a prominent advertisement in
this paper. Young ladies who may wish to get up
their skating in private, before exhibiting on the
lake in the park before all the world, may learn
their steps and become proficient in "High Dutch"
or any other fancy movement, at home by the
of this implement 1t is very like a skate-except
that small wheels, covered with gum-elastic, are
substituted for the steel runner and enable you to
glide swiftly, noiseessy y and harmessly floor
even if covered by carpet
