There was one little Incident la Robert Fulton'a life about whtob lew people know and widen Palter. never forgot. It took place shortly before tbe return trip of hie famous bust** voyage by steam un tbe Hudson river. At the Uma all Albany flocked to the wharf to see tbe strange craft, but so timerous ware they tbat few cared to board ber. One gentleman, however, not ouly boarded hor, bat sought oat Faltoa, whom be found la the cabin, and the following conversation took place: "This i* Mr. Fulton, I presame 1*” “Yes, sir.'1 "Do you return to New York with this boat?” "We shell try to get book, sir,” "Have you any o&sctlon to my re turning will! yon ?>* "If you wish to take your chances with ua, sir, I have no objection.” "What la the fare?” After a moment's hesitation Fulton replied, “81* dollars.” And when that amount waa laid In bla hand ba gaaed at it a long time, and two big tears rolled down bla cheeks. Turning to the passenger, be said: “Excuse me, sir, bat this is tbe first pecuniary reward 1 have received ror all my exertion In adapting steam u> navigation. I would gladly com memorate the oocaakiu with a little dinner, but 1 am too poor now avan for tbat. If we meet again, I trust It will not be the oaar.” As history relate*, the voyage ter minated suooemfully. Four years latter Fulton was lilting In tbs Clermont, iben called tbe North ltlvor, whon * gentleman sutured. Fulton glanced at him. and tben sprang up and gladly shook hi* hand. It waa bis lint pas senger, and aver * pleasant little din uor Fulton entertained his guest with the history of bit success, and coded with aeylng that lb* first actual recog nition of bis usefulness to Id* fellow men waa the six dollars paid him by hie drat passenger.

The very sight of our congregation was enough to move one’s heart. Of course they were couytota; of oourso they represented every class In (he great school of crime; of course some Of their hearts were hard as the nethor mil) stocs; yet for these oouviulaOhrlet died.
