FULTON'S FIRST STEAMBOAT
VOYAGE.

We 6nd in the last number Of Hunts Mer-
chants Magazine, an interesting description
OF Robert Fulton's first voyage from New
ork to Albany, which opened the door TO a
progress for the human race, equivalent, in
one bound to the march of ages The fol-
lowing extract from this description will be
read with pleasure:
Judge Wilson resided in the city Of New
York when Fulton was building his boat, and
frequently saw her on the stocks. She was
queer looking raft. ard excited much atten-
ton, and not little ridicule. When she
was launched. and the steam engine placed
in her, that also was looked upon as Of piece
with the boat built to float it. a few had
seen one at work raising the Manhattan wa
ter INTO the reservoir back of the Alms-house:
nut 10 the people at large, the whole thing
was hidden mystery. Curiosity was great
y excited. When it was announced in the
New ork papers that the boat would start
from The foot of Courtlaud street at SIX and a
nall O'Clock on Friday morning. the fourth Of
September, and take passengers 10 Albany.
there was broad smile on every face. as the
inquiry was made, if any one would be fool
enough to go! A friend OF the writer, hear
ing that he intended TO venture. accosted him
10 the street, JOhp will thee risk thy life in

such concern! tell thee she is the most
fearful ,ciLd tolol living. and thy father ought
to restrain thee. When Friday morning
came, the wharves, piers. house-tops, and
every 'cogne Of vantage from which sight
could be obtained were filled with spectators.
There were twelve berths, and every one
was taken through to Albany. The fare was
seven dollars. All the machinery was I'M
covered and exposed to view. The periph-
cry of the balance wheels, Of cast iron. some
four or more inches square, ran just clean Of
the water. there was no outside guards !;
the water and balance wheels being support
ed by their respective shafts, which projected
over the sides of the boat. The forward
part was covered by deck, which afforded
shelter 10 the hands. The after part was
fitted up in rough manner for passengers.
The entrance into the cabin was from the
stern. in trent ofthe steersfnan, who workeda
tiller as in an ordinary sloop. Black smoke
issued from the chimney, steam Kissed from
every ill-fitted valve and crevice Of the en-
CINE. Fulton himself was there. His re-
markaby clear and sharp voice was heard
above the hum Of the multitude, and the noise
OF the engine; his step was confident, and
decided; he needed not the fearfulness.

ded. The whole scene combined, had in it
an individuality and an interest which comes
but once, and is remembered forever.
When every thing was ready. the engine
was set in motion, and the boat moved
steadily but slowly from the wharf, as she
turned up the river and was fairly under
weigh, there arose such hnZza as ten thou
sand Threats never gave before, The passen-
gers returned the cheer, but Fulton stood
upon the deck, his eye flashed with an unu-
sual brilliancy, as be surveyed the crowd.
He felt that the magic wand of success was
waving over him, and he was silent.
As we passed West Point, the whole garri-
son was out, and cheered as we passed. AT
Newburgh it seemed as if all Orange county
was collected there: the whole side-hill city
seemed animated with life. Every sail.boat
and water craft was out, the (erry-boat from
Fishkll was filled with ladies. Fulton was
engaged in seeing passenger landed, and
did not observe the beat till she bore up
nearly alongside. The Tapping of sail ar
rested his attention, and, as he turned, the
waving of so many handkerchiefs, and The
smiles of bright and happy faces. struck him
with surprise. lie raised his hat aud ex
claimed, That is the fircst sight We have
seen yet.
Fulton, in his letter to Barlow, (22d Aug
usr, 1909 adds to these "reminiscences; My
steamboat voyage to Albany, and back, has
turned out rather more favorable than ! had
calculated. The distance 10 Albany is one

DEATH OF LIEUT.. MORRIS.

The following account of the death ofthis
officer is going the rounds Of the papers.
The evening advanced, and all was quiet
in the ship; and the dying lieutenant had a.
round him the kndcst attendance, and hopes
were cherished that it might be well with him
and he would yet recover. But two hours
had onv passed, the ten O. clock lights were
Just put out. when sudden change, which
might, at any moment have been expected,
came over the sufferer, and in five minutes
more he slept, one Oft the noblest victims " hich
this unholy war could have numbered from
the young officers Of our navy. He had
been composed, during all his consciousness
of his critical Situation-had made all his ar
Tangements-and left his farewell letters,
should that fate meet him. which now indeed
had come upon him.
Al one moment, after having been assured
by the surgeon that there was little hope of
long surviving his wound, he requested to
have read to him that beautiful passage OF
scripture. in which Jesus Christ says. I'm
my Fathers house there are many mansions
if it were not So, would have told you;
so to prepare place for you. that where

EARLY MEMORIES.
BY JULIAN CRAMER.

BY JULIAN CRAMER.
The memories of early years
How fondly do they cling
Around the heart and soothe its woes
With their soft murInurinsi
And yet there is a sadness breathed
Amid their sweetest tones,
As when of her fond mate bereft
Some loving turtle means.
The memory ola mothers tears,
And oft-repcated prayer
A fathers kind but firm reproof-
A sisters gentle care
A brothers warm protection shown
A schoolmate'S ardent truth
These cluster round the later dreams
We have ofearly youth.
But soon these visions fly and leave
A sicklier gloom behind:
We see the woes of hopes betrayed
The sorrows of the mind
The anguish OF the bursting heart
And all the ills we learn:
All Memory's refuent waves are dark
Why should they e'er return?
Why should they Ger return ? Because
We ne ed this constant strife,
To mind us that perpetual bliss
Is not the boon of Life.
The Future we have power to fill
With joys that ever last:
The Present we may mould at will
Eut cannot change the Past
