ADVICE TO SKATERs.-The following rules
to be observed by skaters, we find in the But.
ialo Republic, and as they may be applicable
to this locality, we give them hoping they will
be closely studied, and faithfully Observed
as is most advice given by editors.
Rule lst-Never make the first movement
towards the skating pond till such time as you
have learned to skate well.
Rule 2d-Skating on tbs head is never al
lowed in well regulated or orderly circles. A
dislocation of the vertebra is, above all things,
to be avoided. If you must tumble down, be
sure to select an untrozen snowbank in some
neglected corner of the pool for our Temporal
~ resting place.
Rule 3d-Sprawling on the ice is considered
undigniied. The very best skaters avoid
such unseemly demonstrations as cracking
their skulls, breaking their necks or describ-
ing unprecedented sOmersaults. None but
vulgar novices are guilty of such Outrages up
on decency and the laws of gravitaton.
Rule 4th-When you find yourself APP
preaching weak spot in the ice, lift yourself
across it by means of your boot straps and if
you have not the necessary seltpossession TO
do this, take off your coat, vest, and skates
absorb chew of tobacco, and go in like man.
Rule 5th-Ladies must ignore all useful en-
ployments if they would be thorou 9hly educa-
ted skaters. Matrimonial elopements never
should be planned during skating hours with.
out the consent of aged parents.
Rule 6th-Skate before breakfast and after
breakfast, before dinner and after dinner, be-
tore tea and through the lecture hours. 1t may
not be well to skate all day Sunday. A short
time should he reluctantly given to religious
exercises.
Rule 7th-Let skating be the one grand end
and aim OF your existence.
Rule Sth-Skate all the time, and if you
have any other spare moments consecrate
them to the skating pond.
Rule 9tli-Never run your eye against the
point of another persons skate-it may dam
age the skate Our rules Ina been prepared
in great haste, and may require remodeling.
We shall attend to it at an early day. Mean
Willie we propose to ascertain how far they go
TO cover all the exigencies of skating pond,
lake and sidewalk.

have great deal of faith in these last if
they are well drilled and differed.
1t is marvel to those who have had
no opportunity Of Judging, except from
report, to witness the bitterness of feeling
entertained by genuine secessionist to-
wards the Northern States. Misrepresen-
tation Of the North has been INDUCED in
by hre-eaters rs persistently as abolition
ism has belied the South, and the great
mass Of the people here are honest in their
conviction that the end and aim of the
present contest is emancipation. This, of
course, argues but poorly for their intelli-
gence; but let us, before condemning them
for their ignorance, consider what absurd
and improbable stories of the South are
circulated and credited at the NORTH
And this elimination and recrimination
have divided land peopled by brothers
and bound together by every tie that
could consecrate and ennoble. In the day
that God makes requisition for blood,
the authors Of this hatred will have mark
ed against them the fraternal gore of mil
lions of brethren. One of the most sad
dening features of the present war is the
consideration that when steel shall have
enforced law, and the machinery of our
government moves on in its accustomed
course, there will yet remain an uncon-
querable aversion and hatred among a
people compelled to live together. There
must be change in feeling-a radical
change in the press-a change in the tone
and temper of our political discussions,
both North and South; or the crushing
of the rebellion will only defer for time
a separation between the two sections that
will last forever.
These are not very consoling, yet they
are very necessary reflections, and appro-
pirate to the day. How glorious it wo'd
be, if in the beginning of this new year,
isms could be sacrificed on our country's
altar, and an honest and earnest effort be
made to back the bayonet by the ballot
for the restoration of the old fraternal re-
gard, power and glory of our government.
If it is not done God only can tell what
the course of our ship of state will DO as
she drifts with her mutinous crew on the
tide Of the present toward the unknown
and illimitable ocean of the future.
