Patent Elastic Saddles.

"A word to those fond Of easy Riding.
The complaint against hard and uneasy sad
dies, which is for the most part just and gene
raj one, and is really great grievance to those
who have much riding to do, has caused him to
turn his mind particularly 10 that subject with
aview, IL possible, TO remedy the evil He can
with confidence assure the public that he has
accompliShedii. 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 he has ever seen can possibly do
The plan is entirely dificTeht from the English
elastic saddles with spring bars Of steel, whale
bone &c. and also from those with wire springs,
and ne conCeives much superior to either, as the
elasticity is greater, and the tree not being put
cut of its original 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
nut one sentiment exists among them in favor
of their superiority. The invention is equally
as applicable to ladies saddles as to geulemens

part of Job xiv Paraphrnsed)
Mortal, thai is ofwoman born,
Is of few days, and full ofgrief
He springs forth as the flower of morn,
And withers like the untimeIy leaf;
He. also, as a shadow flies,
Nor tarries long beneath the skies.
The number Of his annual rounds,
Is fixed by Fate's unerring power,
He cannot pass the appointed bounds,
Nor find repose in life's brief hour;
Yet other forms their fell survive,
Though felled the tree, its branches live
But man expires and wastes away,
His Heeting spirit goes-ah where
As waters from the shrinking sea,
Dry up beneath the ambient air,
So shall he sink in beings deep,
Nor rise, till time itself shall sleep.

Philip of Macedon won Prinassus by
the following s,ratagem. He attempt, 81
first to undermine the city, but found the
ground so rocky as to resist his most vi
gorous and repeated efforts. He still
however, persevercd, and commanded
his pioneers to make more than ordinary
hustle and noise below ground. In the
night he caused earth to be secretly
brought from distance, and raised enor.
nous mounds at the entrance of the
mine, in order to inspire the besieged
with the belief that the work went for
ward with astonishing rapidity. At length
he informed the townsmen, that two acres
of their wall were undermined, and
stood upon wooden props. to which If he
set fire and entered by breach, they
might expect no mercy. The Prinas.
slams were deceived, and surrendered a,
discretion to an enemy, who could no,
with his utmost exertions, have taken the
town by real force.
