mertorious if less celebrated, who have promised
US their support, we fatter ourselves that, as lit

prehenson Of being excelled.
But what we have done is already before the
public, who will rot fail to Judge of US with i'm

II will be both wiser and more becoming (although
less fashionable not to boast) We may be per-
mitted TO assure our friends in brief however that
we have matured numerous plans (for the Third

be pleased. 1t is our purpose to put forth every
energy: and it will be no fault of our if the

The truth was the old man was pleased with
the ingenuity, as he called it, of his boy
He did not wish to discourage that. So he
took out his purse, and handed Arthur halt a
dollar. "Here, the Lord will never pay-l
must, or you will never see your money a

"Thank you, sir" said Arthur. SIN my

''the Lord has paid me and much sooner thar

he would pay me in money. The hearts Of
all mon are in his hands, and the gold and
silver are his; he has disposed my father tc

Arthur kept up the habit OF lending II

was paid fourfold and often several time
over.

(adopting their own pronunciation.) The
boys seemed awe-struck with the presence OF
so high a dignitary; and seated themselves
in a distant part of the room, silent and re-
served. At length the host stepped to the
sidehoard and got the welcome decanter for
his guest. No sooner had the clergyman t.

and springing from their seats they moved

ASSOCIATIONS.-SONS OF TEMPER
ANCE nnD EETJnWC

( N ~ .
An association may be defined society
formed of a number of individuals acting
under common rules and an elective govern
ment, for the accomplishment of some defn-
lite object sgm- -ass.
The value of combination of means
and wills is plain and undeniable; firstly,
in cases where the object pursued is pecuni-
ary advantage. Undertakings, which it would
be impossible for individuals to embark in,
from the actual outlay required, or the
great amount Of pecuniary responsibility
imposed, are every day carried into effect
with success and profit by companies. Sec
ondly, in cases where the object is to raise,
and direct the disposal of large amount Of
funds, with view to the Accomplishment Of
certain ends. Such are associations for the
purposes Of education, for the distribution of
bibles, charitable institutions, SIC. 4aaa
It's impossible to deny the power Of po-
litical Associations, and it cannot be wonder
ed at that they are regarded fayorably by the
State in such countries as America, where
the principle Of democratic Associations per-
vades, everything; with distrllst by aristo-
cratic governments, in which the power of
a ruling class is exposed to danger from their
attacks, and altogether suppressed, as far as
possible, Under arbitrary governments. One
Of the most powerful political Associations
that ever existed in England, was the famous
Catholic Association, formed in May, 1923,
and dissolved in March, 1929, when its great
object, the passing Of the Catholic Relief
Bill, was attained qa #uh n3la1
Of associations having moral, instead OF
political objects, perhaps the Independent
Order Of Odd Fellows, and the Society Of
the Sons of temperance, afford the best ex-
amples. .@..f .ar
The Society of the Sons Of Temperance
is, comparatively,in its infancy, yet the plant
seems, to have taken deep root, and bids fair
to extend its branches far and wide 1t al
ready numbers upwards Of fifty divisions,
with several thousand members orftl
The members Of the Order pledge their
faith, that they will not make, buy, sell, or

TO THE LADIES.

When we were about to commence. the
publication of the g Columbian Fountain
and before we had put our hand to the
plough, our minds were much engaged with
the reelection, that we were about to en-
gage in business which, more than almost
any other, is attended with disproportionate
expense. We were about commencing the
publication Of Temperance paper, where
a few months since, weekly paper of the
same character, and daily newspaper, both
commenced under Aattering auspices, had,
after enjoying brief existence, been aban-
doned as unproductive and Improbable
But this circumstance, SO far from operating
against our project, hastened the accom-
plishment Of it. We looked around, and
our convictions Of the necessity Of such a
paper as the present one became stronger.
We were encouraged to proceed, and one
among the most encouraging views which
opened before us, was the influence which
y0w would exert in ourfavor. In proportion
as the Temperance cause advances its
benign Influences are extcnded--as the field
Of its operations becomes enlarged, and as
mankind become converts to it's doctrines,
in the same proportion are your sufferings
diminished, your comforts increased, and
your present and future happiness enhanced
and secured.

broad day, no need Of subscribing to VI;
whole streets may witness the infirmity Of
which you are SO conscious, that you fear
to be suspected, should you put your name
TO the Tempennce pledge. Vain suspicion
Your sin has found you out. The mark OF
the beast is upon your brow-your blushing
nose attests it; don't subscribe to your in
trinity John.9 The,documenta which bears
evidence~of its truth upon its face, it is un-
necessary to subscribe. But deny, that in
signing pledge Of total abstinence, you ac-
knowledge any infrmity, or surrender any
liberty; on the contrary, by so doing, you
proclaim to the world, that you can with
stand the ,tempter, that you are moi infirm Of
purpose; you prove that you haze resolu-
ton, that your appetite is under your con-
troll, and that your qoillto do SO, is all that
|is necessary to accomplish the end. II by
no means follows, that because a man puts
his name to the pledge he has been drunk
ard. IT Thousands have subscribed the pledge
who never drank ardent spirits in any shape.
They did not conceive they were conslgn-
ing themselves to infamy, although their
names were registered among a host Of
drnnkards, whose signatures proclaimed their
future freedom, and exonerated them from
the disgrace Of the past. The total, absti-
ncnce pledge is declaration Of moral inde-
spcndence- whose signatures are append
ed thereto arc upon equal terms All who
wish 70 share the advantages Of this declara-
ton Of rights; are, in duty bound to support,
by their influence and example, the truth, Of
the principles which govern them, and to
assist in making this truth manifest to all
mankind, that all may have an opportunity
Of participating therein, to the end, that the
principle may become universal. The drunk
ard who has resolution to abstain from drink,
will hasten to enrol his name upon this in
strument; the moderate drinker will follow
his example; for though he never intends to
become a drunkard, yet drinking moderately
is not the way to insure his never becoming
SO = he has just heard the drunkard's con-
fession; he was once moderate drinker, and
had no more idea Of sinking into drunkard
than the formef-yet he did become
cradle drunkard; ;-and he who has never
been contaminated by the taste Of alcohol,
will join the cold water army, to the end
that he may remain pure and undefled
The miserable, wretched outcast, the drunk
ard who has NOT the moral courage to abb
stain, does well to refrain from signing away
his lberty--for he would indeed, acknowl-
edge his infrmity, and make public confes-
sion of his infamy. Poor man! he is dig
ging his own grave---soon he will fill this
companions in misery will follow him; and
then, hurrah for universal freedom

TEMPFRANcE.--Again we call the attcn-
ton Of the puclic to the fact that public
meeting Of Association No.2, United Broth
ers of Temperance, will be held at the Bap-
tist Church, near the Navy Yard, on the
evening Of Thursday, the 10th inst, at half
past 6 o'clock. The meeting will be adj
dressed by the Rev. Mr.. Hendrickson, OF
Baltimore, the Rev. Mr.. Eye, Mr.. James Lit
tie, and DR.. Joseph Walsh.
h We invite the members of kindred asso-
Citations, and the public generally; and we
hope that they will come and cheer us by
their presence. Remember that to induce
men to abandon the use of Intoxicating
liquor, is the grand object Of our public
meetings-is the desideratum.
