Spartan .7usfertty-TheS Spartan plain
ness and austerity have been celebrated in
every age , history Is full of instances of
the ,igorou. proceedings of this wise peo-
pie against innovation in particulars which
seemed Ia threaten the introduction of the
modish luxnries of their neighbors. The
decree which they passed against Timo-
theus, the Milesian, for an Improvement
he had effected in music, is extremely re
markabr, and we are indebted to Boetius
for such a literary curiosity. Whereas
Timoiheus, the Milesian, received into our
city, holding in contempt the ancient mu-
sic, and rejecting the harp with seven
strings, has introduced an harmony of ma
ny voices, corrupting the ears of our youth
by multiplicity of strings, and music
hitherto unknown: dividing the simple
netes into variety of feints aud q,irerings;
we do therefore ordain, that he shall be
impeached, and that his superfuous strings
shall be broken that strangers, from ms
example, may be wary of bringing among
Spartans the light aud unmsny aniuse-
ments which are practised IN less modest
nations.

who have much riding to do, has caused him TO
turn his mind particularly 10 that subject, with
view, If possible, TO remedy the evil. He can
with confidence assure the public that he has
accomPlishedii il. 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
otber that he has ever seen can possibly do
The plan IS entirely different from the English
elastic saddles with spring bars Of steel, whale.

elasticity IS greater, and the tree not being put

OF ~ the saddles with spring bars A number of
gentlemen have those saddles now in use, and
