H- A few DAYS since a gentleman

EE- A few days since a gentleman
said to us, "LurE, believe you have a
warm place in your heart for inventors"
We replied, that if we had not, we GER
tainly ought to have.
Since then, that remark has frequent
ly called up in our mind the thought
that every one ought to have helpful
word for inventors.
The inventor is by necessity liable to
ridicuIe. He undertakes to do what no
other has done, and it is a natural i'm
pulse for the thoughtless to laugh at him
for his presumption. When Fulton ran
the first steamer from New York to AL
bany, creeping slowly along, his moving
tea-kettle was a butt for the laughter of
the multitude. When STEPHENSON sub
mitted his plan for an iron railway to the
English House of Lords, noble Peer
asked what he would do..if cow got on
the track. He replied that it would be
very bad fol- the cow. The multitude
aughed and supposed the Peers wit
had extinguished the inventor, but num-
berless cows, and their owners, have
found that the great engineer was right.
Every great invention has looked alb
surd and ridiculous in its inception, and
it is no argument against the probable
success of proposed desirable project
that we do not see how it can be DONE
OF course we don't, or we should have
done it long ago ourselves. But the in-
ventor tolls at his idea, till in his creative
mind il takes on the form and substance
of ct,-and then the result of his pa
tient labor is worth more to the world
than all the toll of all the multitude
around him. The labor Of inveIting the
cotton gin was worth more than the life
long earnings of ten thousand men and
SO of everything which makes machinery
do the work of human hands.
And what if the inventor fails to real
ize his ideal? 1t is noble to fail even, in
noble service, after earnest effort But
there is no such thing utter failure -
AS not prayer is ever breathed to
heaven, but the world is made richer and
holier by the sanity aspiration; so in the
province of mind, there is no laborious
thought but adds something to the store
of human Achievement. Some new idea
is evolved. some new sugges ton made,
which another perhaps may seize on, and
carry forward to successful results.
Let us all baye warm place in oul
hearts for inventors.
