DEL,souENrs. -Our exchanges, from
all points of the compass, are loudly call
ing upon their delinquent subscribers to
pay up, and threatening them, if they
heed not the warning, with all maner of
earthly evil One thing is certain, and
that is, if they do not pay, though they
may fare sumptously every day here aud
be clothed in purple and fine linen' they
shall have their place with the rich man
iu-aud instead of calling for drop
of water to cool their tongues, they shall
pray for newspaper TO fend off the
scorching flames from their eyes; but
shall not have one.
CRrsoLIsE ON THE IcE. During the
cold spell which has just passed, our
ladies' have availed themselves of an ex-
citing and very facinating sport, which
has heretofore been monopolized by the
young lords of creation. On the River
and Canal could be seen goodly num-
Der Of the fair daughters Of creation cut
ting the pigeon ring, the daffodil, and
squareing the yards, and all the number
lesD fantasies that are knowing to the
experts in skating. Surely this is a
move in the right direction, and reform
calculates to increase the vigor, and add
to the health aud spirits of the Ladies.
We hope the number of the votaries of
the art of skating may be multiplied a
mong them. and that they may have
great success in their new accomplish
ment.
