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 to those who have much riding to
do, has caused bin to turn bis mind par
ticuIsrly TO that subject, with view, if
possible, to remedy ths evil. He can
with confidence assure the public that he
has accomplished it. The plan projected
is by means of strong and we'll tempered
steel springs, so constructed as to support
the saddle seat aud 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 different from the English elias
tic saddles with spring bars Of steel
whaIebone, &c. and also from those with
wire springs, and be conceives much SUI
perior to either, as the elasticity is 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 their 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 to
most, JAMES VANSANT.

UNCOMMON LOVE.

H1ppAncHrA, celebrated lady of antiquity, who
was born at Maronea, city of Thrace, and -four
ished in the time of Alexander, addicted herself to
philosophy, and was so charmed with the cynic
Crates discourse, that she was determined to mar
ry him at any rate. She was addressed by great
many lovers, who were handsome men, and distin-
guished by their rank and riches and her relations
pressed her to choose husband from these But
she answered that she had sufficiently considered
the affair, and persuaded that no one could be
richer and handsomer than Crates and that if they
would not marry her to him, she would stab herself
Upon this her friends had to Crates himself;
desired him to exert all his eloquence, and to
all his authority in order to her of her passion.
He did so but she still continued obstinate and
solved. At last, finding arguments Intellectual, he
displayed his poverty before hers he showed his
crooked back, his cloak, his bag and told her that
she could not be his wife, without leading such life
las his sect prescribed. She declared herself inf
ntely pleased with the proposal and took the habit
of the order. She loved Crates to such degree.
that she rambled every where, and went to enter
tainments, with him; though this was what the
other Grecian ladies never did.

MAGNANIMITY.

The Emperors of China look no further for their
wives than among their own subjects, and if they
are vrtuous and handsome, have respect to their
birth and fortune; SO it often happens, that they
marry artihcers' daughters. One of them was
mason's daughter, and always kept trowel by her
when she was dignifed with the character of EN-
press and if at any time the young prince, her son.
carried it too proudly, she humbled him with the
sight of that instrument, wherewth his grandfather
subsisted himself and family, which would bring
him to reason
