a hy with then, it wotuld not be a bid bargain,
for the sumi is the interest of more than two
thousand dollars; so that ifyou are industrious
and Harry is lazy, you are more than twice as
rich as he is; and when you can do a man's
work ant: make a dollar a duty, you are four

only capital with which a young mai catn begin

something to trade upon; and if ie be besides
well educated and have skill in any kind of work

01 FITCn's STFA.WBOAT.-To this individial
4t belongs the honor of having constructed the
' first steamboat in this country. Although
* this h6tdor has so generally been ascribed to
Y Robert Fulton, yet it is a well known fact,
d that trenty years before the great experi.
dY
e ment of Fulton and Livingston on the Hud
e son, a steamboat was constructed ahi put
l1 in operation in Phiadelphia, under the sole
e direction of a then obscure and still almost
a unknown individual. This person was John
. Fitch. lie was born in the sotith part of
a East Windsor, near the East Hartford line,
on what is now called the old road. -1le
was apprenticed as a watch and clock ma
ker, to Mr. Cheney, who carried on the bu
siness in the eastern par'or East Hartford,
now Manchester. When New Jersey was
overrun by the Drilishi troUps, Mr. Fitch re
moved into the aittaior of Pennsylvania,
where he etnployed himself in repairing
for the Continental army.
In the year 1785, 1r, Fitch conceived the
project of propelling a vessel by the force of
condensed vapor. "When the idea bccur
red to him, as he himself tells its he did not
know there was such a thing as a steam
engine in existence." In 1778 he obtained
a patent for the application of steam to na
vigation. By unwearied exertion he suc
ceeded in interesting about twenty persons
in his plan, and inducing them to take shares
of 850 eaei. A boat was built in 1778.
A mile was measured off in front of Water
street, and the boat was found to go at the
rate of eight miles an hour. It afterwards
went eighty miles in a day. The Goverinr
and Council of Pennsylvania were so much
gratified with the experiment, that they pre.
sented them with a superb silk flag. About
this time the company sent Mr. F to France,
at the request of Mr. Vait, our Consul at
L'Orient, iAhto wasone of thecompany, and
wished to introduce the invention into
France. Being in the midst of revolutions
in that count.v, ant' as no men could be ob
tainied for the purpose of building boats,3Mr.
F itch returned. "ar, V.
t, papers and designs of
he steamboat ni. rtaining to the compa
ny." Ii 1790, lie im de an alteration in his
boat and she pierfwned tolerably well, but
still it required further alterations. Mr.
Fitch however was not able to obtain the
necessary means in order td perfect his in
vention.
The conviction of Fitch respecting the
power of sitam coutinued firm In June,
1792, he addressed a letter to Mr. Ritten
house, one of the share-holders; speaking
of steam power, he sail "This, sir, will be
the mode of crossing the Atlantic in time,
whether 1 shall bring it to perfection or not.
Ile complains of his poverty, and to raise
funds, he urges Mr. Rittenhouse to buy his
lands in Kentucky, that he might have the
honor of enabling him to complete the great
undertaking." Upononeoccasion he called
upon a smith who hdd worked upon his
boat, aud after dwelling for someI time upon
his favorite topic, concluded with these
words: "Well, gentlemen, although I shull
not live to see the time, you will, when
steambouis nill be preferred to all other
means of conveyance, and especiatly for
passengers, and they will be particularly
useful in the navigation of the river 5Missis
sippi." lie retired, when a person present
observed, in a tone of sympathy, " oor
Ifellou., u-hat a pitg it is hie ia crazy."
" The distress of mind and mortification
h le sull'ered from the failure of his protracted
exertions and his poverty were too much for
him, and to drown his reflection, he had re
courso to the common but dIecep tive remedy,
st rong drink, in which ho indulged to excess ;
and retiring to Pittsburg, ho ended his days
by plunging into the Alleghany."* lie hi
filled several small MS. books with personal
and getneral narrative, more or less connected
with his great semre, and whsich heo lbe
queathed to the Philadelphia Library, with
Sthe proviso that they were to remain closed
for thirty years. The books were opened in
-due time, atnd were fhud to contain a minute
accont of hsis p~erplexitie~s and disappoint
Kments. 'Of the boldness of his conceptions,'
.(says a writer lii the Mechanics' Magazine
Jan. 1836,) "and the perseverence which
.ho followed it up, thero can he hut one
opinion ; anid had fortudel attended his ef
forts, and his means ben equal to the ac
complishment of his designts, th~ro can bc
no doubt that lhe wvould now (mold undispu
n ted the honor of having given to the coutry
y this mast inoble stitI useful invention."
