Y. Skating Park. We clip the following racy description ofthe skating done on the Central Park, from the New York correspondence of Fordey'S Preis : Have just come from Central Parke; never saw anything like it in the long and cheerful-sort of life it has been my felicity to lead. The commissioners no ti'fied the public through the papers this morning that the ice is ready for skating, and accompanied the notice with ample directions as to the mode of access, the arrangements for the convenience and comfort of ladies and gentlemen. In serting my' i7O lhs. avoiidupois into a Sixth-avenge'car, I was wagoned "on ward and upward" to Pifty-ninth, where taking the more, moderate but.thorough ly-reliable team of mares, coMmonly de nominated "Shanks'," I soon found my self at the end of the Mall, and _in the presence of at least-twenty thousand 'hu mans, a large proportion of whom were the A.merican fair. The entire police force attached to the park were about and on.the ponds, to render as-dstance, give information, and preserve order.— At the balcony, spacious rooms for re freshments, cloaks, &c., are erected, where, one may, get all, such comestibles as are usually obtained at a party.ln front of the bridge, a large space of ice is reserved exclusively.for the ladies ; near this is:a dressing-house, with a: male attendant ready to, do herlittle en deavors. „.Purther on is another space, fenced off from the main pond, 'reserved fo r. children and ladies learning to skate. But the, g,reat feattire is, of course, the main pond, where skaters_ of boh_sexes get upon the irons.and"ge it ;"and.isn't it a sight to see"! Temthousand or more active, little bodies, careering around as though the ancient Nicholas was after them,,,going through the most grotesque gyrations, backwards, forwards, side ways, with ladies. on arm, or pushing the dear creatures, Or whirling them about, or doing.any other of. those saucy but endearing little humbuggings by which men and women are made to cotton to each other. Isn't it, exhilarating ? 'ralk about sylphs and, seraphs ! why there's no movement in the world that wrings a man's bosom so instantly and thorouahly as a woman who goes_streak ., .ingabout: on the ice quick as fight; and graceful as a fawn, showing . just enough of beautiful ankles, and nattily adjnsted skates o."wish you was in. Dixie' and coming np to. en-with,asenileon, the lips, a , glow on the c,h,eek, a heaving chest, and:bright ckerry . glance of-the eye !., Why speak_ of traz/king-into a man's affections when there's skating? From two to four o'clock, the carriage roads lining , the ponds were crowded with"ve hickles.rilledwith :ladies. gentlemen. and little ones, looking at the sport. On the ice the crowd became so great as to make getting about rather troriblesoine. I left at 4:1.5, but the multittideappeared - to be quite indifferent as to whether - I lift Or remained ECON.O3II IN TILE FAMlC.—Somebody says, and wo endorse the sentiment, that an economical- woman . at the head of a ,familyis the very best savings bank that can •be established—one" that receiv ,deposits daily and hourly, with no cost( , machinery to 'managelt. The ide . a of saving is a pleasant one, and if-the wom en wtould imbibe it at once, they would cultivate and adhere to it ; and thus, when they were not aware of it, would be laying.the foundation for a competent 'security in a stormy time, and shelter on a rainy day. .The .woman who sees to her own house, has - a large'field,to save in, and the beit way to make her •com 'prebend itp is for:heito . keep an account,, of current expenses.. Probably not cone wife in ten bee an idea how much ar the expenditures of herself or family.— Where from one to two thousand dollars are expended annually, there is a chance to'save something, if the attempt is only made. Lett.the housewife take theidea, act upon lit,', and strive over it, and she will save Many . dollars, perhaps hundreds, whete.lefore.she thoughtit impossible. ~This- i s a duty, not a prompting of avar ice-La 'Moral ,obligation that rests upon ,the wome i n:as well as the men.; but it is a duty, we are sorry to say, that.is culti vated very little, - even among those who preach the mOst; and regard theinsalve l s as exanipies in most matters. "Teatili - the women to save," is a good 'enough maxim to'he inserted in the next edition of "Poor Richard!s Almanac." ' ' (fir" There is no place like home I " said a brainleSs.fop the other day to a pretty young, lady. " - DO you really think so'?" said the young lady. ""0 yes,' was the reply: "'Then," said ico, " why deal you' stay there ? 131.oNam AT TEM AcAnEarr On Thursday afternoon and evening; M. Blondin,-the Vold- as well se the skill ful - gymnast„ gave the ~publia of ntila delplata a very good _idea of those iyer formances of his at Naigara *filch liafe made him world famous. He appeared in the Academy of Music, which he had specially engaged for the purpose. 'The stage was taSteflilly fitted up; - and: all the other arrangements were of the most satisfactory description, Two iopeS were fixed—one from the stage •to: the centre. of the - p - argnette, the other from the extremity of the stage to the, high- , est part of the auditorium. Bleak' walked upon stilts on the light repe, and led qrchestra with the violin -while on this rope, turning a somersault et/the time, and continuing, 'to'' play the air while in the air ! He walked, on the iope; to the 'remotest and' highest part of the house, covered rip in a Sack, -arid with his eyes blindfoldeii, and -walked back to the, stage, with apparently as much ease . as if he was, on: terra firma. He repeated this journey, oat of sack, carrying ; on- his:shoulders a gentleman weighing about, one-hundred and eighty pounds, and broughtAlm,back, ;down the rope; as easily as ; he conveyed him,-up it. Ile threw esornersault,while on the rope, at a heightof 'ofie hundred 'feet from the ground. He had designed to. walk up ;and dowri the 'rope, to the top of the highest gallery,' but, forind, no trying the experiment before performance, that the chandelier would be in the way. "In. short, lie 'surprised ell who saw Min, and met with•lond'applause--:--very unusual in the aristocratic -hciuse he Verforined It is -the , intention of some of Mi. Blob din's admirers, we learn, to present- him with some testimonial of their estimate', of his skill and yeldness—probably -a geld medal.. For the information of the curious, we add that, Blondin is now ihir ty:six years old, having been born. at. St. Omar, France;in'lo,4. His father was one of the •first-Napoleon!s old " soldiers of the Binpire;" - add died when - the son was only nine years old. From child hoed, ' yonog Blondin exhibited great taste and-aptitude for . gymnastic feats, and before his sixth year was "-the In fant Phenomenon" of France, in that line. He arrived in the United States, in 1855, as one:of the Ravel Company, with whom he remairted three years. the ,winter oflBsB, he conceived the idea -oaf crpssing lite-Niagara-on.a rope, which tip first accomplished on the last day-of June, 1859. Wbat, he has. sinceAotte, down s to his ,performance before the Prince of Wales last September, is too well known- to need repetition here.— Blondin -is a married man. with three children, and has:purehased - a pleasant estate at Niagara Falls, where he resides when not traveling. lie is understood to have 'already secured an easy inde- pentium by his, Niagara. exploits. We take 'these' particrilars from a pamphlet just published, containing a graphic bio grapiest Sketch of M.
