The N. 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

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." ' '

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.

It is -the , intention of some of Mi. Blob

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

tip first accomplished on the last day-of
June, 1859. Wbat, he has. sinceAotte,

Prince of Wales last September, is too

ence...Ele <rras not bora a subject of
Great Britian: He was an American
Republican. by birth, and had always lov
ed to support the 'rigida of man. His
-father_ was an. Englishnian, a civil engi
neer; and had:eame: to this country for
the purpose of erecting a steam engine,
and, did erect_the -first steam engine used
in North Amerida. He had it all com
pleted when he:arrived; and all he had to
do was-to put it together. He expect
ed to- return to
,England after be had
completed his . work, but becoming ac
quainted with. a lady of.one of our first
families of the .eofintry - at that time, he
.concluded to remain. This lady heafter
wards married, and she became the moth
evef,,your President. —My father con
nected hiineelf with the American cause,
,notfins a_military man,,but in a civil way.
He aided brhis meanly and voice. He
was Al Republican.
He remembered hie mother :saying
that his.father had frequently came home
from places where he had been at work,
pith his - knapsack - On his back, and his
clothing at the knees and elbows worn
out, having been driven from place to
place by the British soldiers. My moth
er has held me.in_her arms in the face of
British biyonets. He was . a great ad
mirer of Walington and iustructedme
to bd . a Washington man—a Washing
ton Federalist,opposed,however, to mak
ing. him President for life. I have nev
er changed mypolitical:attachment nor
my. political 'creed. I have therefore.no
apology to make for my political views.
I am carrying out the wishesof my long
deceased parent. Called at this advanc
ed age of my life:to fill.this office of much
honor, I feel that it Will probably be the
last official act of life. What Ido here
I know I must give an account on the
final day. I tremble in view,. of my, re
sponsibility, and so ought eyery man to
feel Who is cfiarged with this important
duty. We may be dediding the destiny
of the country, and indeed ,may be,-,tel
ling upon the interests, in some degree,
Of the world. I trust all will therefore
act with a view of the solemn trust nom
.
mitted to you. .
