FultOn's First Steamboat.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Geneu1 Cour-
Ter relates the following story of the "Kate
Morgan" the little steamer which for
more than q generation has piled on Cay
uga lake, her owners obeying the bebest
of the first proprietor to " run her till she
busts:"
Before the Chancellor Livingstone
stemmed the current of the Hudson, yet
after the little Clermont had stirred the
uuieter waters of the Collect Pond, the
whistle Of the Kate Morgan awoke the
echoes in Taughanic Glen, and her pad
dle-wheel dashed the spray upon Cayuga
bridge. There is bit of romance attach
ing TO her name and building
Old General Morgan, of revolutionary
fame, had a noble estate on the western
hank of the lake, not far from where the
present Wells College now stands. BE
tween his only daughter, q lovely girl OF
1s, and young Fulton. bad long existed a
tender attachment, which, however, the
poverty and obscurity Of Robert led the
General severely To frown upon. Fulton
went to New York He lsbored long
wears In perfecting his invention his day
of triumph came, and then he wrote TO
the stern father, relating his success, and
asking for the daughters hand.
may" wrote back the incredulous old
soldier, "I'll believe what ! see with my
own eyes Come you back, scapegrace,
to the lake; build and sail steamboat
past my own door, and then, end not Till
then, shall you have my daughter Kate.
Need I say that Fulton came joyfdliy
| back that steamer was built as quickly
as circumstances would permit; that che
was launched, and, in due course Of time,
did triumph antly sail past the Generals
door! But let me add that, according 70
an express stipulation, made by the ely
Robert, In. case he succeeded, when the
Kate Morgan sheered in toward the Gen
erals dock small boat was seen pushing
out, containing the original Kste, hel
| grim father, and . gentleman In Clerical
/ vestments. They were soon on board
and there, amid the waving OF hsgs, the
ringing Of bells, and the blowing q
whistles, the proud inventor and his
prouder bride were made one A glorious
sweep MP and down the lake completed
the first bridal trip by steam ever known
in this country.
Before We leave this historic boat let u

A Valuable WoOdcut In Philadelphia

THERE is said to be q paper In Phils-
delphia which has one woodcut II was
engraved originally to represent Arthur
Spring, but the proprietor liked 1t 50
much that be determined to keep 1t on
hand and run 1t into the paper whenever
anybody else was hung, or died, or was
elected, or made speech. And 30 every
time a portrait was wanted, this woOdcut
was altered to fit it. First the hat was
cut down, then the nose chiseled into va
rious shapes; then the eyes were gouged
a little then the head was altered and the
cheeks followed out 1t never at Its best
looked like any human being that had
ever existed in this wide world but that
made no difference, for the proprietor
always jamned it right in every time with
fresh name and biographical sketch.
It has served already for James Buchan-
an, JEFF. Davis, Probst, General Grant,
Susan b. Anthony, Mayor Fox, Senator
Revels, Artemus Ward, Daniel In the
Lions Den, Winnemore, Jefferson as Rip
Van WinMe, Ristori, Asa Packer, Gov
ernor Curtin, and q score or twOO others.
II Is somewh hat rusty now, the old wood
cut Is, but the owner clings TO 1t with un-
alterable affection, and the FIRST time any
body does any thing alarming, 1t will 90
in again with new sketch. This won't
make so much difference now, because the
block is very much worn, and when the
picture is printed you can't tell, TO save
your life, v neither it was Intended for q

Advantages OF Advertising.

AMONG thorough business men the al
vantages Of judicious ad sertising are well
known and practiced.
II man has got a good thing--an ar
ticle Of commerce needed by the people,
and which he wishes 10 dispose Of, let
him advertise il by all means. Don't
think Of waiting for buyers to- make the
discovery themselves. Thousands OF per
sons who would become your customers
don't know that they are in want of the
article until they read your advertisement
in the newspapers. -
They read, ard instantly they discover
that you have precisely what they need,
and wonder that they had nevers thought
Of the same thing themselves. This por'
ton Of the American public not only pur-
chase your goods, but whether they ex
press it or not verbally, In their hearts
they are very grateful to you for having
made part Of your knowledge their
property.
The nineteenth century is busy one.
People have little time TO think of any
thing except their own immediate bust
ness. They want 70 read and learn as
they run.
A man is suffering perhaps from dys.
pepsia In his morning paper he sees a
remedy advertised; be doi t pause to de
bate and argue the point with the pro.
prictor of the specific, but lie proceeds to
his druggist, buys and tries.
If he has obtained benefit, be IL de
lighted and recommends the medicine to
ali OF his suffering neighbors thus the
advertisement is marching on with an
hundred or thousand fold velocity. The
advertising proprietor is getting rich,
because he has been wide awake; made
himself known and felt in the community
and the public is thankful, for 1t he's been
benefited. The journalist IL happy-he
| has been made the channel Of communi
eating useful knowledge, and ct the came
time you have added few dimes and
dollars to the usually scanty contents Of
his purse. For editors, like Methods
preachers, are generally poorly paid.
Some business men will say II know
adveriising 10 good thing, bat I cam
afford to advertise" Better say you cant
afford mot TO advertise.
| Who are the men that hsve become
millionaires In this countryf Look sbou
you, and zee who they are, what theil
business and how have they succeeded.
