SAdtluSs
ET The skating mania has at last
broken out among our people, and has
affected pretty much our whole popula
ton. The pleasant moonlight even
ings of last week were enjoyed TO their
utmost, on the ice. BY scores of both sex
es. aud OF all ages. Everything in The
shape Of skates were brought into requi.
siion. and the healthy and exhilara,ing
exercise has called for the utmost efforts
OF its new votaries. Our ladies are most
ly novices. and their attempts at "strik-
ing out" are marked BY no small degree
Of amusing awkwardness But this will
soon be overcome, and then will come the
witchery of grace-the very poetry of
motion-which marks the accomplished
lady skater. Nothing is more bewitch-
ing. nothing more delightful, nothing
more exhilarating or healthful, than this
pastime, and we presume The enjoyment
must be infinitely enhanced by lis being
mutually participated in by both SEXES
We hope we are not inclined TO be envi-
Gus, but we do confess TO singular feel
ing, whenever we have seen a happy fel
low gliding along with the swiflness Of
the wind. hand in hand with little muf.
fled up damsel, whose ROSY cheeks. cher.
ry lips, and bright eyes, spoke a world Of
enjoyment in the harmony of their mo-
tons. We at least wished that we knew
how to skate. possessed his impudence.
and could 60 and do likewise.
