Ere he drew nigh.

constant practice Of sending their child, an
interesting little girl, about six years of age,
to grocer, on 49, street, for the whiskey
or rum they are daily in the habit Of drink
ing. The child, recently, while sent on the
srrand for liquor, in small tin pail, unlor-
tunately fell down and broke her arm, and
returned home to her drunken parents in
that piiable condition, when both were in
such situation as to be unable to render
her any relief. Her arm was subsequently
set; and such is the degradation of her
parents, that suffering from its effects, she is
daily in the habit of being sent in that con-
dition to the same grocery for the intoxica-
ting liquor, and the grocer, with the palpabe
effects Of the cause Of her suffering, daily
takes the money from her for the liquor.
While, Sirs, you are endeavoring to stay
the tide of misery that flows from the in
diligence of this desolating habit, think it
your duty to press into your service all
facts that tend to show the miserable effects
of rum selling. While you would respect
the person who for paltry pelf, deluges our
citizens with misery, and baptizes our com
munity with blood, as has been the case re-
Gently, it is no less the duty of the press to
cry aloud and spare not.
| see with great pleasure that press is
established in our community that is to take
a decided stand in carrying ont the princi-
Piles of the Temperance reformaton-to
speak out in bold, but respectful terms, on
the awful effects Of rum. There has been,
too great laxity Of principle manifested to
those whose occupation is to vend the arti-
Gle Of intoxicating liquor-too much re-
spect has been paid to their station in life,
and their pecuniary means, and too little re-
gard for the welfare of those who are their
victims-numerous instances can be cited.

REPORTED BANK FAILUREs-UNFoUN-
DED RUMoRs.-The city, yesterday morn
ing, was thrown into quite fever, by re-
port which had been set afloat by some spec
ulator, no doubt, that one or two of our
City Banks had failed The report was
caught up by Madam Rumor and spread
throughout the city with speed surpassed
only by Morse's Electric Telegraph, and
we regret to learn, that in more than one case
poor and credulous persons, who are always
the dupes Of such malicious tricks, were in
duced to part with their money at rs cents
in the dollar. 1t is needless to say on en-
quiry, they found they had been hoaxed, and
that the Banks referred to were ready and
able to meet promptly all and every demand
We know not how the report originated,
but are inclined to think that it originated
with some worthless speculator.-Baltimorc

AS your paper is devoted to the cause OF
Total Abstinence, and to hold up, in bold re-
lief, the destructive tendency of the sale OF
intoxicating drinks, and record Of facts that
flow from the same, permit me to state TACT
that has recently taken place in this city, in
the second ward. A man and his wife, both
notorious for their intemperance, are in the

1t is, believe, generally conceded that
mountain scenery is calculated to inspire
those who behold il with lofty and holy
sentiments. Let me give this idea in the
beautiful words Of one Of our poets
"Not all unnoticed are thy forms of love,
Peerless America thy mountains rise
With cloudy coronas, and tower above
The vegetable kingdom to the skies,
Calling upon thy sons TO gaze Nth thee
Starrard in homage cf the Deity"
Whether the humble individual who pens
these lines shall be able to illustrate the
truth of the above by his own example, he
cannot say; yet he is disposed to aid SO far
as it may be in his power, in swelling the
"Fountain," that it may send forth, not only
a pure, healthlul and refreshing stream for
the inhabitants of 'Columbia's SOIL" but
may, also, afford enough for all who will
drink from it; and, in order that this may
be the case, variety Of talent should be
called into exercise in furnishing matter for
your periodical, since there can be no doubt
but you will have readers Of different tastes,
sentiments; and habits to supply It is in
this view of the subject that have indulged
a hope of lending you mite Of assistance; !;
and should you accept Of this paper for pub

Drops, bright drops, on the verdant green
Glistening like gems in their silvery sheen,
Such beauty elsewhere is never seen
AS in the pearly dew;
Up, up they mount in the suns bright ray,
Like twilight CLEANS as they fade away
In the sweet farewell Of departing day,
When his course is through.
Down, down they come, in the gentle shower
On the velvet grass and the budding flower
Inparting to field, mead, brake and bower
Beauty and life
On, on they flow nor er still;
Each joyous, bright and dancing rill
Old Oceans bosom hastes to fill
With watery strife.
Swift, swift disporting in the limpid wavc
Naiads their graceful limbs may lave;
And fleets ride o'er the flood as brave
As Egypt's daughters.

And boast them of their ruby wine
Give me the gift of God-divine-
