From our Young Folks.
Three O'Clock i'm the Morning.

what do the robins whisper about
From their homes In the elms and birches!
I've tried TO study the riddle put
But still in my mind there Is many doubt,
In spite of deep researches.
While i'm the world is silence deep,
In the twilight of early dawning,
They begin to chirp and twitter and peep,
As ifthey were talking in their sleep,
AT three O'Clock in the morning.
Perhaps the little ones stir, and complain
That It's time to be up and doing;
And the mother-bird singsa drowsy strain
To coax them back to their dreams again,
Though the distant cocks are Growing.
Or do they tell secrets that should not be heard
BY mortals listening and prying? tword
Perhaps we might learn from some whispered
The best way to bring up n little bird
Or the wonderful art Of flying.
IL may be they speak of one autumn day
When with many q feathered roamer,
Under the clouds SO cold and gray,
Over the hills they take their way,
In search OF the vanished summer.
1t may be they gossip from nest to nest,
Hidden and leaf-enfOlded;
For do we not often hear II confo ssed,
When long kept secret at last is guessed,
That a little bird has told it?'
Perhaps-but the question is wrapped In doubt;
They give me no hint or warming;
Listen, aud tell me If you find out,
What do the robins whisper about
At three o'clock in the morning?

Fuiton's First Steamboat.
A Romantic sronY OF How nn wox MS
BRIDE--THE OLD Boar STILL
'Di FLOATING.

/ LUATlNu.
A correspondent of the Geneva (N.Y.)
Courier re'at 8 the following story Of the
"Katc Morgan" the little steamer which
for more than genel alton has piled on
Cayuga lake, her owners obeying the be-
hest Of the first pi )prietor to "run her
till she busts !" "''I ni l1 rri.t
Before the Chancellor Livingstone
steamed the current Of the Hudson, yet
after the little Clernont had stirred the
quieter waters of Collect pond, The whis-
tie Of the Kate Morgan awoke the echoes
in Taughanic Glen, and her paddle-wheel
dashed the spray upon Cayugc bridge.
There is bit of romance attached to her
name and building.
Old Gen. Morgan, of revolutionary
fame, had a noble estate on the eastern
bank of the lake, not far from where the
present Wells College now stands. Be-
tween his only daughter, lovely girl of
eighteen, and young Fulton, had long ex-
listed a tender attachment, which, howcv-
er, the poverty and obscurity of Robert
led the General to severely frown upon.
Fulton went to New York. He labored
long years in perfecting his invention
his day of triumph came and then he
wrote to the stern father relating his
success and asking for his daughters
hand.
"Nay." wrote back the incredulous old
soldier, "I'll believe what l 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" .Hf
Need ! say that Fulton came joyfdlly
back, that a steamer was built as rapidly
as circumstances would permit, that she
was launched, and in due time did sail
triumphantly past the Generals door
But let me add that, according to an ex-
press stipulation made by the sly Robert
in case he succeeded-when the Kate
Morgan sheered in towards the Generals
dock, small boat was seen pushing out,
containing the original Kate, her grim
father, and gentleman in clerical vest
ments. They were soon on board and
there, amid the waving Of flags, the ring
ing of bells, and the blowing of whistles,
the proud inventor and his prouder bride
were 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 historic boat let
us go below moment Here are
the old fashioned eng mes, inscribed 'Tre-
man Cartwright a. Co. They were the
first engine builders in the United States,
and both Fulton and Fitche's boats.-
Cartwright was the father of the well
known Peter Cartwright, the western
backwoods preacher.
Glance now at the cabin Its uphol-
stering was furnished by A. II. Stewart,
at that time an! enterprising young trades
man, keeping little seven-by.nine shop
in chamber street. Though the luster Of
the goods has long passed away, its dura-
bility remains, to attest to the honesty
and good judgment of the young dealer
and by which he has since risen to be the
foremost mercha Mt in our country

ALL FOR LovE.-The Prince of Sch
leswig Holstein has petitioned the King
of Prussia to reduce him to the rank of
Count, and take from him the title, the
privileges, and the restrictions of prince
ly rank. There is woman in the case
and the story eliminates in this pleasant
bit of personal gossip; The Prince has
only recently returned from India where
he has been several years engaged in SCI
entfc researches. Savan-like, his first
thought on reaching home was his libra
ry, which he found in very dusty, mus
ty, junbled-up and neglected condition.
He went to work to bring order out of
his literary chaos; but soon found that
he must have help, but who was to help,
but who was worthy to touch his beloved
books In his perplexity he applied to
his steward, who at first declared that
there was nobody in that out-of-the-way
place competent to the task of sorting,
classifying and arranging a scientific
and classical library; but at last be-
thought himself of his daughters COVER
ness, the only person likely to render any
service in such case. The young lady
was sent for, and began work under the
direction of the Prince who, as the time
work on, discovered in this demure
young person such fund of versatile
knowledge, combined with real, solid in
formation, cheerful, good sense, domestic
virtues, and sweet looks, that he came to
the conclusion that at last here was the
proper person to aid him, not only in
setting his library to rights, but also in
the other tangled-up affairs of his life to
order and harmony. But prince of
the blood cannot openly marry subject
without ferfeiting his rights to the sue
cession and neither Of the lovers wish.
ed for morganatic marriage. There
fore the Prince has petitioned the King
to allow him to call himself simply Count
Noer, and all for the sake of the good
heart, the sound head and the bright
eyes of Fraulein Carmelita Eisenblatt,
daughter Of a German merchant of CAL
cutta, formerly in good circumstances.

also that he shall rule Cuba a. well as Spain.
and that the United States shall never have

When Prussia is b..;ten and Spain recon-

Europe. Waterloo will be avenged, and the
glory Of Sadowa wiped OUT. The eagles Of

hattie Of Sadowa, Count Bismarck said:

King to recognize the South. opposed it
