RETRIBUTION.

The following passage we think
would be an excellent foundation for
a tale. interesting in incident and IN
strurtiye IN moral.
Robert Care, youth who had
stopped at London on his return from
hi. travels, was seen aud admired by
James |. who, at once, made him his
favnrlte, created him Wise ant Ro-
chester. and educated him, and load
ed him with unlimited bounty. He
found sincere and true frie#aia Sir
Thomas Overbury. who guided his
inexperience by his best couasels.-
A mutual attachment arose between
Rockefeller and the young wifesof the
Earl Of Essex, who had been lnarri-
ed. when he was at the age ut foar-
teen. she only year younger.
After years. which he hal been
spending abroad after his marriage,

Patent Elastic Saddles.

A WORD TO THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF EASY
RIDING
The complaint against hard and uneasy
saddles, which is for the most part Just
and general one, and is really great gre.
vance 10 those who have much riding to
do, has caused him to turn bis mind par.
ticularly to that subject, with a view, 1t
possible, to remedy the evil. lie can
with confidence assure the public that be
has accomplished it. The plan projected
is by means of strong and well tempered
steel springs, so constructed as to support
the saddle seat and give much greater ease
TO both rider and horse, than saddles made
in the common way or any other that be
has ever seen can possibly do. The plan
is entirely different from the English elias
tic saddles with spring bars OF steel,
wbalebone, &c. and also from those with
wire springs, and be conceives much su-
perior to either, as the elasticity is great
er, and the tree not being put out OF its o.
riginai form, will not be subject to hurting
horses on journeys, which is complained
Of in the saddles with spring bars: A
number of gentlemen have those saddles
now in use, and but one sentiment exists
among them in favor OF thei; superiority
The invention is equally as applicable 10
LADIES' saddles as to genllemeD's. ID
point of durability they will be warranted
equal to any other saddles and superior to
most. JAMES VANSANT.
