The Parting Hour.

There's something in the "parting hour >
Will chill the warmest heart
Yet kindred, comrades, lovers, friends,
Are fated all to part;
But this I've secn-and many pang
Has pressed it on my mind
The one who goes is happier
Than those he leaves behind.
No matter what the journey be-
Adventurous, dangerous, far,
To the wild deep or bleak frontier,
To solitude or war;
Still something cheers the heart that dareS
In all of human kind,
And they who go are happier
Than those they leave behind.
The bride goes to the bridegroom home
With doubtings and with tears,
But does not hope her rainbow spread
Across her cloudy fears?
Alas ! the mother who remains,
What comfort can she find,
But this-the gone is happier
Than one she leaves behind.
Have you friend-a comrade dear?
An old and valued friend?
Be sure your term of sweet concourse
At length will have an end
And when you part-as part you will
o take it not unkind,
That he who goes is happier
Than you he leaves behind.
God wills it so-and so it is;
The pilgrims on their way,
Though weak and worn, more cheerful are
Than all the rest who stay;
And when, at last, poor man, subdued,
Lies down TO death raSipua6

FultOn's First Steamboat.

A correspondent of the Geneva Courier
relates the following story Of the Kate
Morgan, the little steamer which for more
than a generation has piled on Cayuga
Lake, her owners obeying the behest of the
first proprietor, to "run her till she
burst:''
Before the Chancellor Livingstone stem
med the current of the Hudson, yet after
the little Clermont had stirred the quieter
waters of the Collect Pond, the whistle of
the Kate Morgan awoke the echoes in
Taughanic Glen, and her paddle wheel
dashed the spray upon Cayuga bridge.
There is a bit of romance attaching to her
name and building.
Old General 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 long ex-
listed tender attachment, which, however,
the poverty and obscurity of Robert led
the General to severely frown upon. Full
ton 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 the daughters hand.
"Nay," wrote back the incredulous old
soldier, "Tll believe what l see with my
own eyes. Come you back, scapegrace, to
the lake; build and sail steamboat past
shall you have my daughter Kate
"Need say that Fulton came .ioyfully
back, that a steamer was built as rapidly
as circumstances would permit, that she
was launched, in due time did sail tri-
umphantly past the Generals door! But
let me add that, according to an express
stipulation made by sly Robert in case he
ucceeded-when the Kate Morgan sheercd
in towards the Generals dock small boat
was seen pushing out containing the orig
inal Kate, her grim father, and gentle
man in clerical vestments. They were
soon on board, and there, amid the waving
of flags, the ringing Of bells and the blow
ing of whistles, the proud inventor and
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.
f. Before we leave this historical boat let
us go 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's and Fitch's boats.
Cartwright was the father of the well
known Peter Cartwright, the Western
backwoods preacher.
Glance now at the cabin. Its upholster-
irg was furnished by A. T. Stewart, at
that time an enterprising young tradesman,
keeping 4 little seven by nine shop in
Chambers street. Though the lustre of
the goods has long since passed away, its
durability remains to attest to the honesty
and good jungment of the young dealer,
and by which he has since risen to be the
foremost merchant of our country.

Home, Sweet Home.

Sweet Home" has been sung within til,
circle of almost every household, yet how
few persons of all who have heard it,
of those beautiful word:
enid pleasures and palaces, though VIZ
BE it ever so humble, there's no place like
home.'
1t has, perhaps, never occurred to- the
mind OF any one unacquainted with the
circumstances, that the writer of song,
which has found an echo in SO many
hearts, could be other than one who had
experienced all the pleasures of happy
home; but sad as is the reflection, it is
nevertheless true, that John Howard Payne,
the author of "Home, Sweet Home
though he has contributed to the happiness
of many homes, never had home of his
own.
We clip the article below, suggesting
that monument be erected to the memory
of Payne, and give it a place in our col
umns, believing it will find response in
the hearts of our readers:
THE AUTHOR OF "swEET HoME.'
AS sit in my garnet here in Washing
ton, watching the course of great men, and
the destiny of party, l meet often with
strange contradictions in this eventful life.
The most remarkable was that of John
Howard Payne, author of "Sweet Home -
knew him personally. He occupied the
rooms under me for some time, and his
conversation was so captivating that often
spent whole days in his departments. He
was an applicant for Office at the time
Consul at Tunis-from which he had been
removed.
What sad thing it was to see the poet
subjected to all the humiliations of office
seeking. OF an evening we would walk
along the street. Once in awhile we would
see some family circle so happy, and form
ing SO beautiful a group that he would
stop, and then pass silently on.
On such occasions he would give history
of wandering, his trials, and all the cares
incident to his sensitive nature and pow
erty. elbow often" said he, once, "have
been in the heart of Paris, Berlin, and
London, or some other city, and heard per-
sons singing, or the hand organ playing
"Sweet Home without a shilling to buy
the next meal, or place to lay my head.
Yet l have been wanderer from my boy
hood. My country has turned me ruth
lessly from Office, and in old age have to
submit to humiliation for bread"
Thus he would complain of his hapless
lot. His only wish was to die in foreign
land, to be buried by strangers, and sleep
in obscurity.
l met him one day looking unusu ally
sad" Have you got your consulate ?"
said l.
eyes, and l leave in week for Tunis;
l shall never return"
The last expression was not political
faith. Far from it. Poor Payne his wish
was realized; he died at Tunis. Whether
his remains were brought to this country
know not. They should be, and if none
others would do it Let tho h"","I~~~
throughout the world give a penny for an
inscription like the following:
HERE LIES
J. HOWARD PAYNE,
The Author Of "tStoeet Home"
A wanderer in life, he whose songs were
sung in every tongue and found an
echo in every heart.
NEVER HAD A HOME,
HE DIED
In a Foreign Land.

The Prussian right wing reaches to
Treves on the Moselle. This is one of the
oldest towns in Europe. When julius
Caesar led the legions of Rome into Gaul
he found it the chief town of the Trever-
one of the most powerful of the flaxen-
haired tribes Of Germany. An inscription
on the wall of the Rath-Hause informs us
that it was built before Romulous laid the
foundations of Rome. The Treviri became
the allies of Rome, as Augustus used them
well. He made Treves the capital of Gaul,
and established a Senate and appointed
magistrates to manage the affairs of the
Empire north of the Alps. Here the great
Roman highway crossed the Moselle on a
magnificent stone bridge, erected % B. c.,
which was blown up by Louis XIV. It's
remains are still to be seen. Prussian SOL
diers now occupy the basilica erected by
the architects of old Rome, and 60 through
their dress parade on the campus, where
Caesar and Constantine the Great reviewed
their legions. Treves has a railroad con-
nection west with Luxembourg, and with
the Rhine by the line which runs southeast
up the valley of the Saar to Saarbruck, and
which then turns right angle to the north
east. The supplies for the Prussian troops
at Treves and in the valley of the Saar
must come either by this one line of rail
or by steamboats, up the Moselle. Treves

THE GAME.
Louis Napoleon has made up his game of
chess, but how will he play ite He can
not move by the left flank, for Luxembourg
is i'll the way. He cannot move by the
right flank, between Saarbourg and the
Rhine, without getting entangled among
the Vosges. He cannot make larger
movement and throw his main force on
Stratsburg and cross the Rhine without
uncovering Paris and leaving his railway
connections exposed. If he moves straight
ahead, across the Saar he must force line,
after line Of Prussian positions, batteries
upon the hills and sweeping the defiles
amid the mountains, all the way to the
Rhine. The Emperor having declared war,
King William can wait with patience his
advance by standing on the defensive.
Should the Prussians assume the Often
sivc they will find numerous obstacles in
their path. They can make no movement
by the right flank without violating the
neutrality of Luxemburg. If they move
straight on the enemy can retire behind
the Moslle and hold them at bay. The
vosges, however, would not be in the way
were they to move by the left flank; on the
contrary, movement in that direction
toward the west would take them into an
open country.
We make no speculations as to what
either party will undertake to do, but we
aim only to set forth the typographical fea-
lures of the surrounding country.

REAPING THE WHIRLwIND.-The fol-
lowing is from the Hartford Journal and
Visitor:
The richest man of our town set up one
of his sons in the liquor business. A tenn
perance neighbpr protested earnestly against
it. The rich father said "Why, he can
make thousand dollars a year. "No
matter" said the temperance neighbor,
she may be ruined 10y it." In ten years
the wife of that rum selling son died a
arHnkard, leaving two mothQrless children
The rumseler forged his fathers name,
and at length involved his father so much
that the old man failed, losing the earnings
OF his life. The rum-sellng son died a
drunkard, and his poor brother, too, died a
sot. and the poor old father, who was one
OF the moderate drinkers, drinking enough
to plant the seeds of ruin in his family,
died too. And now, all that are left of
that mas family, oEe of tho very first
families Of the town, are tho orphan grand
children.

his neighbours lips

A NOBLE YoUTH.-Some years ago, q
youth was put out rs an apprentice in
large engineers establishment, and being
the youngest apprentice, ha had to go on
errands for others; one part of which was
to procure their ardent spirits, of which
they drank every day. But he never drank
any himself. The others laughed and ridi-
culed him because, as they said, he was
"not man enough to drink rum" Under
their abuse he often retired, and vented his
grief i'll tears. But still he held firm; and
is at present owner of a large estate, which
he has acquired by industry, and saving
his earnings instead of squandering them
for liquors. He is doing = vast amount of
good; while every one of those apprentices,
except himself, is drunkard, Or is in n

GLASS FOR WINDows.-A window glazed
with ground glass is almost always unsatis-
factory. The vitrified surface being re-
moved, the smoke and dust discolor it, and
make it difficult to be kept clean. White
enamelled glass, having semi-opaque fig
ure upon a transparent ground, is more
satisfactory. If the windows of dining
room were filled with clear light pink glass,
the effect of the room would always be
pleasant and comfortable. The greatest
care should be taken to avoid introducing
dark colors.
