Patent Elastic Saddles.

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 grie-
vance TO those who have much riding to
do, has caused him 10 turn his mind par
ticuIarly to that subject. with 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
m the common way or any other that he
has ever seen can possibly CO.. The plan
is entirely different from the English elias
tic saddles with spring bars OF steel,
whalebone, &c. and alsu from those with
wire springs, and he conceives much SUI
perinr to either, as the elasticity 10 great
er, and The tree not being put out OF ITS o.
riginal 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 the:E superiority.
The invention is equally as applicable 10
LADIES' saddles as to gentlemen's. In
point of durability they will be warranted
equal TO any other saddles and superior 10

PASS THE WORD.
Mr.. EDITOR,

MIR. EDITOR,
A New York paper suggests very good mode
of walking the streets, so as to avoid laundering
collisions and awkward bobbings:" which is, that
every person, without distinction OF age or sex,
should walk to the right Of every one he meets.
This rule prevails in most European cities, and
ought to be adopted here. Who has not felt the
want of such custom inconvenent if not vexatons,
especially holidays, when the city is full OF stran-
gers? How often do we see two people, in mu-
tusl attempt to dodge one another, skip directly in
TO each others way four or FIVE times in rapid sue
cesson thought should never get By a sailor
met this morning. You would have laughed to
see Us sachez of, and back again, hafa dozen times
at least, as earnestly five were learning the step
of dancing master. At last my partner took
bold stand in the middle of the side walk, put his
arms akimbo, and broke forth as follows :"D-m
me, if like this sort of beating-go both sides OF
me, if you will.'' BY similar misunderstanding,
the other day, and wGrm day it was too, went
smash into the arms of female Fastaff, " black as
midnight without NOON" though not by any means
/" Beauty in eclipse" or out OF il. Now, do, Mr.
Editor, pass the word for every mothers son, of
all ages, seres, colours and professions, to always
take the right; and thereby cooperate with me in
preventing the good people ofthis busy Metropolis,
from running down, or walking through each other
in future. VADEMECUM,
Bost. Statesman
