But thirty years ago the steam-ship which now braves every
sea was regarded aS if Chimera, and Fulton, who first sub-
jected the monster to the use of man, ivas for a time the object
of ridicule to the universal mob—mankind_ Fultert, who was
a person of great skill and perseverance, was a native of the
and ifiurripli of turniug their jests
State of Pensylvanial abd after laboisring for years in perfect-
ing his plan, had tile pride
and sneers into shouts of acclamation. hi the teat 1807, he
made the grand eltperiritent Wore thetisands of spettduirs, on
the Hudson River, at New York—eta fit see* for an undertak-
ing which the spirited inhabitants of that city tioe since turned
to so good alcolirtt. Th? difficulties he had to contead with,
and the ultimate triUmpri, ate thro graphically described by
himself in a letter to a friend, published In e york, entitled
" American Scenery," by Mr. Willis :—" As I had oasion
to pass daily to and from the building-yard while my boat wag
in progress, I have often loitered, unknown, near the idle
groups of strangers gathering in little circle 4, and heard vari-
ous inquiries as to the object of this new vehicle. The lan-
guage was uniformly that of scorn, sneer, or ridicule. The
loud laugh rose at my expense, the dry jest, the wise calcula-
tion of losses and expenditure, the dull but endless repetition
of The Fulton Folly.' Never did a single encouraging re-
mark. a bright hope, or a warm wish, cross my path.'
" The day arrived when the experiment was to be made.
To me it was a most trying and interesting occasion. I
wanted some friends to go on board to witness the first sue-
cesNul trip. Many of them did me the favour to attend, as a
matter of personal respect ; but it was manifest they did it
with reluctance, fearing to be partners of my mortification,
and not of my triumph. I was well aware that; in my case,
there were many reasons to doubt of my own success. The
machinery was new and ill made, and many parts were cola-
structed by mechanics, unacquainted with such work ; and un-
expected difficulties might reasonably be presumed to prevent
themselves from other causes. The moment arrived in which
the word was to be given for the vessel to move. My friends
were in groups on the deck. There was anxiety mixed with
fear among them. They were silent, sad, and weary.
I read in their looks nothing but disaster, and almost
repented of my efforts. The signal was given, and
the boat moved on a short distance, and then stopped,
and became immoveable. To the silence of the pre-
ceding moment, now succeeded murmurs of discontent
and agitation, and whispers and shrugs. I could hear
distinctly repeated, ' I told you so—it is a foolish scheme
—I wish we were well out of it.' I elevated myself on a
platform, and stated that I knew not what was the matter ;
but if they would be quiet, and indulge me for half an hour, I
would either go on or abandon the voyage. I went below,
and discovered that a slight maladjustment was the cause. It
was obviated. The boat went on ; we left New York ; we
ei ace tdo rs t
passed through the highlands ; we reached Albany !"
But Fulton was not the only great man who had to bear the
"whips and
scorns of time." They are, indeed, the common
lotbe offc

majority of the universal mob sneered at the folly of Coper-
nicus, for introducing his ridiculous notions among
doctrines of astronomy, and his great disciple, Galileo, was
subjected to something worse than sneers,--to the " whips of
time," for having pointed out the road to true philosophy.
The fate of Columbus is well known ; he discovered a new
world, and the blind multitude named it after another; he
was robbed by his Sovereign, and died in disgrace and broken-
hearted.
