You wiil be | wanting to play fairy in the Black Crook next. | I tell you skating is an accomplishment suited only to youth and comeliness of face and \ symmetry of figure. Nothing is so charming | as to see a beautiful girl, in the coquettish | costume of the rinks, with cheeks rosy with | exertion, and eyes beaming with excitement, skimming the ice like & bird, swooping down upon a group of gentlemen and pretendirg she can‘t stop herself, and landing in the arms of the yery young mman her father don‘t allow" ter to knowâ€"and darting away again, anod falling on her lhead and exposing herselfâ€" exposing herself to remarks about her care ( lessness, madamâ€"hold your tonzueâ€"and always taking care to fall when the young man is by to pick her up. â€" It is charming! " They look pretty and interesting, too, when they are just learningâ€"when they stand still a long time in one place, and then start one foot gingerly, and it makes a break, for | the other side of the pond and Jeaves the | balance of the girl sprawiimg on this side. l But youâ€"you look fat and awkward and dismal enough any time ; and when you are onskates you waddle off as stuffy and stupid and ungainly‘as a buzzard that has had halt a horse for dinner. I won‘t have it, madaim. ‘ And you get under a little precarious headâ€" way and then put your feet together and drilt ' along, stooping you head and shoulders and | holding your arms out like you expected a church was going fotall on you; it aggreâ€", ( vates the life out of me. â€" And Tuesday, when I was ass enough to get on skates myself, and kicked the Irish giant‘s eye out the first dash, and I:t on my head and cracked the ice o that it looked like the sun with all its rays had dropped where I struck, and they fined me ninetyâ€"two dollars for ruming the man‘s pond, I was terrified with the convicâ€" tion that I had gone through to the inside world, because I saw the parallels of latitude glimmer all round me ; and what was it but you, in your awkwardness, fetching up over me with your * tiliers‘ on. You‘ve got to \ discard those things. I can‘t stand the pewâ€" rent, and won‘t." * Mr., Twain, I am sureâ€"* " Hold your clatter, I teli you you shan‘t \bring odium upon the family by your disâ€" gracefual attempts to skate, sprawling around with your feet like a cow plowing her way down hill in slippery weather.

She had nursed him, you know, because his mother was feeble and so! Well, he came to this country about fifteen years ago, and first he set up in the vegetable line, i and got along pretty well, and was about to send to England for the old lady, when bard times came and he got broke. He went into fruit then, and after that into millkâ€"into all sorts of things, you know ; but he got disapâ€" pointed every time till this present business fetched him out at last, and he sentright off for the old woman. She landed here four weeks :50, but died the rery same night. It was hard, after all his waiting and toiling tor fifteen years, to get her over here at last, and have her die on his hands. . Heâ€"â€"heâ€"well, he was diegusted. â€" However, he laid her out, and heand lis frieads sat up with her and by ‘and bye the memory of her virtueg softened his bitterness and turned it into a tender griefâ€"â€"a scttled maekggncholy that hung about his epirits like a pall for many days.

Jn d fence, a pair of old trowsers were produc.d to show the valuelessueâ€"ss of the article ; and it was contended that as clothinz was not specially mentioned in See, 81 of the Act, eouviction could not follow, The magistrate took the proper view of the case, and imposed the penalty, stat=d it the Act, $29 with costs.
