must not be permitted. and he started OF
to try to prevent il. At this. an ofics'

nothing Of the kind would be attempted
in this way dissuading him from looking

{ FULTON.s BRIDE.

A correspondent Of the Geneva Courier
relates the following story Of the Kate
Morgan the little steamer which Tor mors
than generation has piled On Cayuga
Lake, her owner obeying the behest. Of
the 6rs: proprietor, TO "rus her till she
busts." But the Chancellor Livingstons
stemmed the current of the Hudson, YET
after the little iClermopt bad stirred the
quiet waters Of Collect pond, the whistle
Of the Kate Morgan awoke the echoes in
fbughanic Glen, and her paddle wheel
dashed the spray upon Cayuga Bridge
There is bit of romance attached to her
name and building. Old General Nor,
gon. Of Revolutionary fame, had noble
estate on the eastern bank Of the lake, not
tar from where the present Wells College
DOW stands. Between his ouly daughter,
q lovely girl Of feighteeD, and young Fai-
ton, had long existed tender attachment,
which however, the poverty and obscure
ty Of Robert led the General to frown up
on. Fulton went to New York. He L.
bored long years in perfecting bis inven-
ton bis day Of triumph came, and then
he wrote to the stern father relating bis
success and asking for the daughters
hand. -+st.'
Nay" wrote the increduIous old SOL
der, "Pll believe what see with my own
eyes. Come you back, scapegrace to the
lake; build and sail steamboat past my
own door, and then, and not till then,
shall you have my daughter Kate
Need / say that Fulton came joyfully
back that . steamer was built as fast ~
circumstances would permit; that she was
launched, and in due time did sail tri-
umphantly past the Generals door. But
let me add that, according to an express
stipulation made by the sly Robert 10 case
be succeeded-when the Kate Morgan
sheered 10 towards the Generals dock,
small boat was seen pushing ont contain
ing the original Kate. her grim father,
aud a gentleman in clerical vestments-s
They were soon on board, and there, amid
the ringing Of bells, the waving Of flags,
the blowing Of whistles, the proud inven-
tor and his prouder bride we're made one.
A glorious sweep up and down the lake
completed the first bridal trip by steam
ever known in this country.
Before We leave this historical boat let
US go below moment. Here are the old.
fashioned engines, inscribed "Tremen,
Cartwright Il Co." They were the frst
builders 10 the United States, and fur
nished both Fulton's and Fisch's boats.
Cartwright was the father of the well
known Peter Cartwright. the western
back-woods preacher. Glance now at the
cabin. Its upholstering was furnished
by A. 7. Stewart, at that time an enter
prisiug young tradesmen, keeping little
seven by nine shop in Chambers street,
Though the lustre of the goods has long
since passed away. its durability remains
to attest the honesty and good judgment
of the young dealer. by which he has ris-
en- to be the foremost merchant of our
cOuatr-
