OBsTINAcY OVERCOME IN A HoRsr.
"A gentleman related in my presence a
little incident, which give as heard it.
A wagon was passing heavily laden with
states the horse stopped, refusing to be
urged or cajoled into starting. Of course
l expected as usual to see the driver use
his whip, or perhaps his heavy boots,
with an accompaniment of shouts and
oaths, to remind the animal of his neg
lect of duty he went to the wagon and
commenced fumbling in its depths. Now,
thought l, that poor horse will receive a
most tremendous beating; and waited
the issue with bated breath. But instead
of the heavy stake which anticipated,
he drew out an old wooden bucket, the
outside covered with meal, the remains
Of former launches; ran along the road
for some distance before the horse, and
set it down. The animal, true to his in
stincts, forgetting his former obstinacy
and whims, hurried towards the well re-
membered receptacle of former enjoy
ments, and the battle is won by little
quiet management, saving pain and trou-
BILE for both man and beast.
Now. thought /, as went on my way
rejoicing, here is lesson for educators.
Don't drive and push and swear and
scoid, but accomplish your object, wheth-
er it be with child or dumb animal, by
means of some incentive to the perform
ance Of duty, which shall recall pleas
ures past, or be an earnest Of joys to
come.

VERY VALUABL TO FRUIT GROW
ERs.-We are indebted to Rev. Q. Gregg
of Pawlet, for the following important
facts, that will prove Of great value to
all concerned, whether gardeners or fruit
growers; In seasons like this, so hot
and dry, small fruits trees, especially
those set out the same year, are apt to
dry up and die. This being noticed by
Mr.. Gregg, he took as principle that
the sun up the l;fe,juices in the bodies of
these small trees, and SO killed them.
So he sought to obviate this difficulty.
Cutti ag narrow strips of cotton cloth, he
wound them around the bodies Of some
of the trees that had already began to
wither, and which had been set out that
spring. This in degree shielded them
from the scorching rays Of the sun. this
Besides, he occasionally poured water
on the trees, SO as to wet the cloths about
the bodies. One or two that were to all
appearances dead, revived anu out OF
fifteen set out this past spring not one
died, Notwithstanding the extreme
drought.
Here seems to be an indea that is of
great practical value to every one hav-
ing to set out young trees, or finding
those already set out dying. The pfin-
ciple on which this pratt ice works is SIM
pie and clear, and the trouble of doing
it very small. We hope fruit-growers
will act on this suggestion, and if good
results follow. report to us for future
comment. White cloth is preferable,
for it turns off the suns rays.-Montpet-
Ter Freeman.

Fulton's First Steamboat.

FultOn'S t1rSt steamboat
A correspondent of the Geneva On. Y)
Courier relates tbs following story Of the
/" Kate Morgan" the littlesteamer which
for more than generation has piled on
Cayuga lake, her owners obeying the
behest of the first proprietor, to "run
her till she bursts"
Before the Chancellor Livingston
steamed the current of the Hudson, yet
after the little Clermont had stirred the
quieter waters of Collect pond, the whis-
tie Ct the Kate Morgan awokethe echoes
in Taughanic Glen, and her paddle
wheel dashed the spray upon Cayuga
bridge. There is bit of romance at
tached to her name and building.
Old Gen. Morgan, of revolutionary
fame, had 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 longex-
sted tender attachment, which, howev-
er, the poverty and obscurity of Robert
led the General to severely frown upon.
He labored long years in pertecting his
invention; his 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 ] see with
my own eyes. Come you back, scape-
grace, to the lake; build and sail asteam-
boat past my own door, and then and
not till then, shall you have my daugh-
ter Kate.
Need / say that Fulton came joyfully
back, that steamer was built as rapid
ly 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 express stipulation made by the
sly Robert in case he succeeded when
the Kate Morgan sheered in towards the
Generals dock, small DO was seen
pushing out, containing theoriginal Kate
her grim father, and gentleman in cler-
ical vestments. They we're soon on board
and there, amid the waving of flags, the
ringing of bells, and blowing Of whistles,
the proud inventor and his still 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 60 below moment. Here are the old
fashioned engines, inscribed fireman,
Cartwright & Co. They were the first
engine builders in the United States, and
furnished both Fulton and Fitch's boats.
Cartwright was the father of Peter Cart
wright. the we'll known western back
woods preacher.
Glance now at the cabin. It's uphols-
terry was furnished by A. T. Stewart, at
that time an enterprising young trades
man keeping little seven-by-nine shop
in Chambers street. Though the lus-
ter of the goods has long passed away,
its durability remains, to attest the hon.
esty and good judgment of the young
dealer, and by which he has since risen
to be the foremost merchant in our coun

The period between the ages of two
and four in child's life is a very impor-
tant one, because the child should now
be gradually and surely confirmed in
those good habits which are the found

rudiments of which should already have
been implanted. By the time a child
is six years ofage, he should have learn
ed perfect submission-not to a confus-
ed, inconsiderate. ordering spirit in IA

anything that would keep strong will
