Robert was n delicate, handsome boy, with a tine forehead and bi illiant eyes. Almost as a child be became a mechanic, inventing ma chines and lingering around work shops. He was thought dull at school, and made slow progress in the usual studies. But be was always inventing. olUMD One day. when Robert was about nine years old, he came late to school, and when his teacher reproved him, pro duced a new lead pencil which he had been making while playing truant. The boys were all anxious to have one of Fulton’s pencils—they were better than any they had seen. In his school days be made rockets to celebrate the Fonrth of July, and in 1778, in the midst of tbe war, set them off in his native town. About this lime he made an air-gun and a boat moved by wheels. He had a strong taste for drawing. His mother, who was now a widow and poor, wanted his help. Fulton wan only seventeen, but be went np to Philadelphia, made money, became acquainted with Dr. Franklin, and when he was twenty-one came back to his mother with his earnings, and bought her a farm. Here she lived happily for some years, watch ing and enjoying the rising prosjienty of her sou. The deed by which Ful ton at 21 gave the farm to his mother is still preserved. There are persons living who might have seen tbe first steamboat that sailed on tbe Hudson. Many remem ber when the famous De Witt Cliutou and North America were thought ths wonders of navigation; when they sailed over the tranquil river at the rata of sixteen miles an hour, and lett behind them clouds of black amok* that hung over the landscape for milea The North America was long the pride of the river navigation, the swiftest vessel in tbo world. Tho Hudson has always bsea th* fsvorit* sceno of steam navigation and enter prise. It is th* birtbplsc* of tbs stsambost. Here, iu 1807, Robert Pnltoa, os board the Uiermoai, bis first vassal, sailed in o day aud a half from New York to Albany. He stopped for m few hoars et Clermont, end then in four more finished his voyage. It was the signal for an entire change iu the whole art of navigation. From that time tbe steamboat has been slowly advancing, ita size has increased to immense proportions, aud ita engines have become animated ginuta. Fulton, a fair, delicate, thoughtful young man, bad gone to England and France, had become acquainted with many eminent inventors, and bad al ready planued a steamboat. He was tbe first to make oue successful. He came beck to New York, and, ailed by his friend Livingston, iu 1836 be gan to build his boat It was ouly a small vessel, rudely built; in it ho pieced an engine made by James Watt, the English inventor; tbo pid* dle-wbeels be planned himself, and the imperfect machinery. It teems now a very easy thing to build a steamboat, but it was then thought impossible. Man called the boat Ful* ton’s Folly. Hardly say one supposed that a new era in navigation was about to begin, and that Fulton’s machine would at last cover the world with its discoveries. At last the boat was fin ished. The fires were lighted, ths boilers biased, the crank turned, the wheels began to move, and tbe Clermont made ita way at about five miles au hour, from Charles Brown’s dock yard on the East river to Jersey City. Once she stopped, and men cried, “There, it has failed!” But it was only becanae Fulton was anxious to alter tome part of his machine. The groat voyage was sucoexaful. Tbe steamer reached Jersey City, and Ful- tffu’a victory was won. Soon tbe Hudson began to abound with Fulton’a steamboats, the wonders of the world. There was the famons Paragon, o vessel of the enormous size of three hundred tons. One built for the Czar woe called tho Emperor of RuHsie. A ferry-boat ran from New York to Jeroey City. In tbe midst or tbe war with Euglaud Fulton built the first war steamer. It was 2,000 tons burden, o fine shot- proof vessel, and sailed st the rate of three miles an hour as far as Sandy Hook. Its size seemed immense, its pnwer irresistible, aud it was told with alarm in London that Fulton and New York bad produced the most danger ous of warlike machines. Tho fair, pale, delicate inventor did not live long to euj'»y his success. His lungs were always weak. Ho was al ways at work. His patents were in fringed, aud big invention only in- volved him in endless lawsuits. At last be caught cold crossiug the Hud son on a chill February day, ami died iu 1815, a good sou, an inventor who has beeu useful to every one. He has founded nations, and opened the dis tant seas to trade.—Detroit Free PrMA A Remarkanie Oak. Tier* to s wayward white oak tree nea Laporte.
