Over two hundred accidents from kick in, and running away of horses occurred during the past year, in Lancaster county alone nearly all of which resulted in inju ring the drivers, killing some, maiming and wounding others, and in most eases, breaking costly carriages and hurting the horses. Of the above, nine-tenths were tante family horses. The safety bridle will put an end to all such needless accidents, and "vith the Safety, Lines the speed of every horse is easily muCh 'increased. At the special meeting - of the Saddlers of Lancaster city, Nov. 27, 16'65, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: WitmiNAs, The usefulness, power and safety of Dr. Hartman's Safety Bridle and Lines have been publicly demonstrated demonstrated in the presence of from one thousand to fifteen. hundred persons to their entire satisfaction; and since it was proven at the Millersville horse exhibition on roue of the most vicious and confirmed kickers and runaways, that with the Safety Bridle and Lines it is utterly impossible for a horse either to kick or runaway; therefore Rcsol ved, That we the Saddlers of Lan caster county, Pa., believe that the Safety Bridle and Lines accomplish all and even more, than is claimed by the patentee, in preventing !theses front kicking and run ning away. ReNo/vcd, that in view of the aboye facts we deem it our legitimate duty, both indi vidually and collectively, to exert all hon orable means to at once introduce the Bridle and Lines, because in doing so we in a very great measure prevent all acci dents with horses, while with the old and defective bridle we put iii greikt jeopardy both life and limb. liesuived, That hereafter we manufacture no other but Safety Bridles, unless especi ally ordered. The price of individual Mgt is is :55 each; County Rights, front 100.00 to :100.00 accor ding to population—these containing large cities excepted. No other investment before the public presents such inducements of making motley. In every county there are at least twenty townships, and in eaeli township at least one hundred persons who drive horses—which at 11.. v e dollars for an indi vidual right will amount to f;',4.100 per town ship, and ten thousand dollars (1.0,000) for each county at the rate of twenty to w nsni ps at live hundred dollars each ! I have not the least doubt but that amount 9f money can be made out of a county with proper business tact and energy. The price of counties is.so small as to place the invest went in the hands of every one, for few arc so poor as to be unable to raise ono hun dred dollars. Another feature about this invention is that the proprietor of th“ territory need not manufacture the bridles and lines as the ordinary bridle can be easily altered into a Safety. The lines only require to be made to orde - :, and these can be made by any saddler for a trifle more than the ordinary lines. Hence, unlike other patents, the right to use it only is sold. , No Mall need wish for a greater fortune than right of a State. To .show the couti dance the patentee has in his invention, he offers to pay 1,000 dollars for any horse that can either kick or run away when under the influence of the Safety "Bridle and Lines.

And lonely I iinger'd upon the bright main, pray'd, and 1 watched, and I waited in rain, For that glittering sail from the far-distant sihorn, But alas! it returti'd front the ocean no more.

Captain Smith often relates the fol lowing story:—"To the year 18— I sailed from New York in command of the ship Hampton, bound to Australia. I had shipped a good crew, composed of half a dozen able-bodied suns of Erin, a dozen Americans, two Scotch men, one German an d,one Portuguces. My first officer was a crack seaman,with an eye like an eagle's and a face like cast iron. He knew how to deal with the foremost hands. There was nothing blustering or pompous in his manner when he issued an order, but there was a peculiar gleam iu that eye of his— a determined, and at the same time a friendly glance, that made every man jump to braces,buntliues, halliards, &c., with hearty good will, to obey his com mands. Even our German, who was a dull, heavy-eyed, phlegmatic individual, but an excellent sailor when once aroused, would put his pipe aside, and try to look smart and. active whenever my mate spoke to him. "We gave our men plenty to eat, for there is nothing like a full stomach to make your true sailor cheerful and expert at his work. In fact our lads, in storm or sunshine, sang loud and heartily while pulling at the ropes, and when handling marline-spikes or mallet, were always humming some popular sea air, or whist ling like piping sea-birds. It did me good to hear them, for I always liked de monstrative seamen. None of your dark, reserved natures for me ; but give me the men who arc not afraid to speak out and show what they are—jolly, mer ry, rollicking fellows, trim and taut, and ever the same in hardship or prosperity. :1647,17:03 "Ay, ay mates, that's the way they were in our ship; and so we cracked everything on the old craft that she could bear, and she went bowling merri ly along her course, with the spray siz sing around her bows, and her skysails nodding playfully to the clouds overhead ifin due course of time we fouud our belves in the stormy latitudes of Cape lloru, wbei we were obliged to use n/orkt wortry.

The topsails were most of the time double reefed,for a tem pest was now liable to pounce upon us like a howling pack: of hungry tigers, at any moment. The sky was almost con tinually veiled by leaden-colored clouds, which threw a gloomy shadow upon the waters, and hid the sun—jolly old alder man that he is—from our view the great est port of the time. "In spite of all my exertions to the coutzary, a feeling of melancholy came over me,for we were nearing the latitude —in which my poor father, five years previously, lost his life. Ile fell from the weathor yard-arm of the ship Coral, while aloft issuing his orders to his men, who were reefing topsails. It was too rough to lower a boat; so they were . obliged to leave the poor fellow to his fate. " Ay, ay, poor old man I muttered one evening,as I paced the quarter deck; peace to your body, far down in the pathless depths. Perhaps your spirit is even now hovering about our rigging ; somehow or other I feel as if it was. God bless it wherever it is !' " I walked to the binnacle, and looked at the compass. The ship was close hauled on the larboard tack, heading about west by north, with double reefed topsails jib, spanker and. courses. The wind was blowing a moderate gale, and the moon now and then emerging from behind a eloud,gleamed coldly down up on the uprearlag seas. The Geranan,old Jack Richester, or 'Rooster,' as he was familiarly termed, stood at the wheel, wrapped up in two great coats ; the col lar of the outside one almost concealing, his broad, flabby face. My third mate,' who had charge of the watch, and who,l must acknowledge, had, on this particular evening, imbibed rather too freely of Jamaica rum, was leaning over the weather rail, watching the crests of the seas as they tumbled and rolled past the ship. "I walked to his side,and touched him upon the shoulder. "'Sober, I hope.' • "'Ay, ay, sir,' ho answered, straight ening himself; 'sober as a chief.' "'And will keep so during your watch?" " 'Sartainly. I was never drunk in my life; "'All right, Mr. Banks. Keep a careful lookout. The bail state of the weather has prevented me from making as good a reckoning as I should have liked to do." " You can depend upon me,' lie answered, and believing that I could I retired to my berth. "T fell asleep at once ; but soon woke, fitncying I hoard an indistinct voice close to my left ear. I rose upon my elbow and glanced around me; but no person was in sight, and concluding that I had been dreaming, I rolled over upon my right side and closed my eyes. I had nearly dropped to sleep a second time, when the voice again saluted my car ;---- b;ing this time so loud and clear that I could plainly distinguish the words that were uttered. " Wake up, sleeper, there's danger !' "I sprang to a sitting posture, and again looked around me, with the same result as before. " Good God !' I gasped, springing from my berth, and hastily dressing my self. lam confident now that it was a spirit voice I heard. I recognized my father's tones ; but skeptic that I was, I was unwilling at first to acknowledge it even to myself. " I was soon dressed and on (leek. The third mate sat upon the carpenter's chest fast asleep ; the German, too, was nod ding at the wheel, " I rushed forward,and found the Por tuguese,who had been stationed upon the lookout, seated upon the fore hatch, to which with the permission, as I after ward learned, of the half intoxicated third mate, he had retired to get rid of the drenching seas now and then break over the kuighthead. Springing upon this part of the ship, I beheld, through a light curtain of fog; mingling with the shadow of the night, a mass of rugged rccks around which the angry surges wore breaking and dashing with a roar, scarcely distinguishable from the general booming of the vast wilderness of waters around. They were distant not more than fifteen fathoms from the vessel, and looming high above them rose the snow covered peak—l could not mistake it oven in the partial gloom—of the dreary, solitary little isle of Staten Land, " Not a moment was to bo lost. With a cry that rang through every part of the ship, I sprang to the wheel, putting it up so suddenly that old 'Rooster' was knoclod flat upon his back. [WHOLE NUMBER 1;902- Here !' I exclaimed, as the ship quickly fell off, and as I spoke I gave him a sharp 'poke' in the ribs with my clenched fist. "Here, take the wheel and hold it just as it is until further or ders "Fie obeyed,and rushing to the waist rail I sang out, -"Steady as you are I' on perceiving that we were gliding past the dangerous shore. "lust I own, however, that 1 felt strange thrill pervading my nerves when ever the ship was lifted by a sea; for at such times it seemed as if she must be dashed upon the rocks, which were now not more than ten fathoms from her weather side. With a long pole, in fact, I could easily have touched them. There they were, with the surf roaring and tumbling over them, as if in-anger at the narrow escape of my gallant craft ; and it was not until they were some distance astern that I breathed. freely. "I have only to add that from that hour I have never .retired to• my berth without thanking the wise Providence who gave the Spirit-voice' of my father the power to warn me of my danger, and thus enable me to escape the inevitable fate of being dashed to pieces upon the dreary rocks of Staten Land, off .Cape Horn." The Life-time of Mau. When the world was created, and all creatures assembled to have their life time appointed, the Ass first advanced and asked how long he would have .to live ? "Thirty years," replied nature, "will that be agreeable to thee ?" Alas I" answered the Ass, "it is a long while. Remember what a wearisome ex istence will be mine ; from morning un til night .1 shall have to bear heavy bur dens, dragging corn sacks to the mill, that others may Peat bread, while I have no encouragement, nor be refreshed by anything but blows and kicks. Give Inc but a portion of that time, I pray." Nature was moved with compassion, and presented but eighteen years. The Ass went away comforted and the Dog came forwarcl. "How long dolt thou require to liv.e..?" asked Nature. "Thirty years are too many for the Ass, but wilt thou be con tented with them ?" "Is it, thy will that I should ?" replied the Dog. "Think how much I shall have to run about ; my feet will not last for so long a time, and when I shall have lost my voice for barking and my teeth for biting, what else shall I be fit for but to lie in the corucr and growl ?" "Nature thought he was right, and cave twelve years. The Ape then appeared. "Thou wilt, doubtless, willingly live the thirty years," said Nature; "thou wilt not have to labor as the Ass and Dog, life will be pleasant to thee." "Oh, no," cried he ; "so it may seem to others, but it will not be ! Should pudding ever rain down, I should ex cite laughter by my grimaces, and then be rewarded with a sour apple. How often sorrow lies eoncealcd hehind jest ! I shall not be able to endure for thirty years." Nature was gracious, and he received but tet, At last came Man, healthy and strong, and asked the measure of his days. "Wilt thirty years content thee ?" "How short a time !" exclaimed the Man. "When I shall build my house, and kindle my fire upon my hoarth— when the trees I shall have plated aro about to bloom and bear fruit—when life to me shall seem most desirable, I shall die. Oh, nature grant me a longer period." "Then shalt thou have the eighteen years of the Ass besides." "That is not enough," replied the Man. "Take likewise the twelve years of the Dog." "It is not sufficient," reiterated the "give me more.,, Ma❑ ; "I will give thee, then, the ten years of the Ape; and in vain wilt thou claim more." Man departed satisfied. Thus Mau lives seventy years. The first thirty arc his human years, and pass swiftly by. Ire is then healthy and happy. Ire labors carefully, and rejoices in his existence. Tho eighteen of the Ass next ; burden upon burden is heaped upon him ; lie carries the corn to feed others; blows and kicks are the reward of his faithful service. The twelve years of the Dog follow, and he looses his teeth and lies down in the corner and growls, When these are gone, the Ape's ten years form a conclu sion. Then man, weak and silly, be comes the sport of children.— Translated form the German, ~... (I
