T HE subscriber wishes to inform his pat. rons, and others who may wish to pat- ronize him in future, that he has recently purchased Mr. Callihan's Patent Right for the use of his valuable improvement iu mak ing Spring-seat SADDLES C'iie .- !; , . _ Notwithstanding the prejudices against these Saddles heretofore, he feels justifiable in saying, that he hopes to gain the confi- dence and patronage of the public—as he is enabled, on the present principle, to ensure all his saddles without any extra charge.— That a soft, easy saddle is desirable to all persons who ride much, and particularly to those who may not be favored with a very pleasant horse; I presume all persons will unhesitatingly patronize the spring saddles, when they will be ensured as long us the purchaser may deem necessary. The elasticity of the Saddle acting in bar mony with the symetry of the horse and rider, not only affords ease to the man, hut incalculable advantage to the horse. All persons of judgment and experience must know, that a dead, unelastic weight on a hors's is oppressive. The Spring in the Girth affords the following advantages: Ist Moving or yielding with the horse's chest in breathing, no cramps or cholics or eny dis ease can rise therefrom. 2d. The girth will outlast two or three of the common kind, because the yielding of the spring on the sud- den expansion of the chest prevents the girth from breaking, and saves the rider from fall. ing; many falls have heen therfruits of break ing girths. GENTLEMEN and LADIES are invi ted to apply, as the little difference in the cost of these and the bard Saddles is so tri fling, and incomparable with the difference in comfort and safety. N. B. Saddlers in the country can be accommodated with Township or Shop Rights at a trifling cost. oc'The subscriber returns his thanks to the public for the very liberal support eaten• ded to him, and would respectfully state that he has at all times A LARGE AND GENERAL ASSORTMENT OF Saddles, Bridles, .)Martingale, Saddle-Bags, Portmanteaus and Trunks; Carriage, Wagon and Cart HARNESS, with every other article in his line of busi ness.

VILPO From the New York Knickerbocker for February. Letters to }bung Ladles. • pir Mits. L. It. SIGOURNEY.) FEW topics are so interesting as female educa tion; and perhaps no subject has risen so much in public opinion, during the last twenty-five years. Nevertheless, but little, comparatively, has been written on the theme, during that period. We are glad to find that the chasm which was begin ing to be felt in that department of letters, has been so happily filled by our own fair country woman, Mrs. Sigourney, who, in the third edition of her Letters to Young Ladies, has greatly varied and enlarged her original plan, and enriched it with much valuable new matter. Indeed, it is now virtually a new work, and is well worthy of its subject, and of its accomplished author. The volume before us treats of the acquisition of knowledge, industry,doinestic employments,health and dress, manners and accomplishments, and the culture of the social, moral, and religious duties.— Among the most prominent features of the work, are its plain, particular good sense, and its deep tone of religious feeling. It is also rich in poetic imagery, and in classical and historical illustra tions. The object of the volume is, to exalt the stun. dard of female attainments. To promote the ob ject, every motive calculated to impress the daugh ter, the parent, or the teacher, is eloquently enfor. ced. The sentiment of patriotism is invoked. It is justly remarked, that educated mothers, and wives, and sisters, can do much . to consolidate the pillars on which our republic rests. The daugh ters of America are reminded of what their corm. try has done for them, and they aro eloquently urged to qualify themselves to repay the debt of gratitude. The style of the author, though, buoyant with poetic fervor, is yet remarkable for its simplicity, gracefulness, precision, and strength. It is indeed a fine specimen of style, formed ou the true Grecian model. But we proceed to show the justice of our (clunks, by one or two extracts from the work. In speaking of the influence of woman in the various relations of life, and the consequent im. portance of having her will educated, the author says: "That the vocation of females is to teach, ?Ms been laid down as a position, which it is impossi ble to controvert. In seminaries, academies, and schools, they possess peculiar facilities for 'coming in contact with the unfolding and unformed mind. It is true, that only a Small proportion are engaged in the departments of public and systematic in structions. Yet the hearing of recitations, and the routine of scholastic discipline, are but parts of education. it is in the domestic sphere, in her own native province, that woman is inevitably a teacher. There she modifies, by her example, her dependants, her companions, every dweller under her own roof. Is not the infant in its cradle her pupil? Does not her smile give the earliest lesson to its soul? Is not her prayer the first messenger for it in the court of heaven? Does she not en. shrine her own image in the sanctuary of tho young child's mind, so firmly that no revulsion can displaro, no idolatry supplant it? Does she not guide the daughter, until placing her hand in that of her husband, she reaches that pedestal, from whence in her turn she'imparts to others the stamp and coloring which she has herself received?— Might she not, even upon her sons, engrave what they shall take unchanged through all the temp tations of time, to the bar of tho lost judgment?— Does not the influence of woman rest upon every member of her household, like the dew upon the tender herb, or the sunbeam silently educating the young flower? or as the shower, and the sleep. less stream cheer and invigorate the proudest tree of the forest? "Of what unspeakable importance then, is his education, who gives lessons before any other in structor—who pre-occupies tho unwritten page of being—who produces impressions which only death can obliterate—and mingles with the cradle dream what shall be read in eternity. Well may statesmen and philosophers debate who she may be best educated, who is to educate all mankind." The writer urges home on her fair readers the virtue of industry, and sustains her appeal by invoking the analogies of nature, and showing that the principle of activity is universal through out the works of thii Creator. Tho following passage is truly beautiful: "Time little rill hastens onward to the broader stream, cheering the flowers on its margin, and singing to the pebbles in their bed. The river rushes to the sea, dispensing on a broader scale, fertility and beauty. Ocean, receiving his thou sand tribute -streams, and swelling his ceaseless thunder•liyinn ; bears to their desired haven those white-winged messengers which promote the com fort and wealth of man, and act as envoys between remotest climes. In the secret bosom of the earth, the' little heart of the committed seed quickens, circulation commences,the slender radicles expand, the new-born plant lifts a timid eye to the sunbeam —the blossoms diffuse odor—the grain whitens for the reaper—the tree perfeas its fruit. Nature is novel idle, “Lessons of industry corno also from insect teach era, from the winged chymist in the bell of the bya cinth,and the political economist,bearing the kernel of corn to its subterranean magazine..

She be lieved that to her who was new in heaven, the most acceptable mourning would be to follcrir her injunctions, and to fulfil her unfitahed designs.— Her motto was the poet's maxim: "Lie mourns the dead, who lives as they desire." AS if tho glance of that pure, ascended spirit was constantly upon her, she entered into her un finished labors. To the poor, she was the same messenger of mercy; she bore the same crosser with a meek and patient mind.• But especially to her younger sisters and brothers, she poured out, as it were, the very essence of her being. She cheered their sorrows, she shared and exalted their pleasures, she studied their traits of character, that she might adopt the best methods both to their in firmities and virtues. To the germ of every good disposition, she was a faithful fiorist—to their way wardness, she opposed a mild firnmcss, until the prevailed. "She laid the infant sister on her own pillow, she bore it in her arms, and rejoiced in its growth, and health and beauty. And when it hosted on its tottering feet to her, as to a mother,' for it had known no other, the smile on that young brow, and the tear that , chastened it, were more radiant than any semblance of joy, which glitters in the halls of fashion. The little ones grow up around her, and blessed her, and God gave her the reward of her labors, in their affection and goodness.— Thus she walked day by day, with her eye to her sainted mother, and her heart upheld by the happi ness which she diffused—and ris I looked upon her, I thought that she was but a 'little lower than the angels:" Wo cordially commend this book to general at. tendon. Our country has reason to be proud of it. Let our country, then, give it.its deserved patronage. We regard it as a national work.- 7 - It should be read and studied by every daughter of our land. The mechanical execution of the volume is near and appropriate. Never owe your shoemaker, your tailor—your printer, your blacksmith,laborer.—Besides the bad policy of keeping in debt, it is downright injustice to those whose labor you have received all the ben_ efit of. How happy the man who owes not a pound, But lays up his tifty each year that comes rout* Ho fears neither constable, - atieriff, nor dun; To bank or to justice has never to run. His cellar well filled and his pantry well stor'd Ho lives far more blest than a prince or a lord; Then take my advice, if a fortune you'd get, Pay off what you owe, and keep out off debt.
