Upon their reaching the outer sea wall she
was launched, and, though good pull from
the pier head, and in comparatively smooth
water, her motion here, if never to be aug
mented, might deter one from attempting
what is to be their task when they reach
the end of the pier. One by one her crew
embark, each has his oar, and as he takes
his place secures himself by a stout strap
to his seat. A glance tells the steersman
that all is ready, and as his eye turns from
his crew seaward, he gives the word of
command, and with steady stroke they
"give her way"
With firm though rapid stride the mas
ter walks toward the pier head, speaking
trumpet in hand, which ever and anon he
raises to his mouth to issue words Of COM
mand, commentator and encouragement.
Steadily onward moves the boat, though
slowly, for light as she is, arduous is the
task of the rowers, to impel her against the
sea, which now threatens to engulf her.
Word from shore has now become inaudi-
BILE. She nears the light, and bravely she
stems the wave. With breathless anxiety
the group now regard her. All seems lost!
No! Nobly done! She rides head to it.
I" Well behaved - was the cry from the
spectators. From impulse they cheered-
and as the sea broke its spray, hiding the
light, they wondered at their own audacity.
The light shone again and there the boat
was like speck amid the waste Of waters,
her gallant crew acting up to the most san
guine hopes of the friends on shore. No
shout is heard--fear benumbs the anxious
spectators, and with feelings Of silent hor-
ror they await the moment that she meets
the next threatening wave, which if she
safely rides, it would seem to be through
Heavens own agency.
One mans eye alone saw her safe over it;
fear had closed all others--it was that OF
the master's--and his stern voice was heard
by those about him above the tempest as he
gave cheering though useless mandates
Again she was visible, now more distant
The master felt he was father--but the
next moment bade fair to leave him child.

To the friends Of Temperance and the
public generally we now make our appeal
in behalf of this paper. The publisher
feeling it matter Of importance to the in
terest of the Temperance cause in the Dis
trict, as well as the general interest Of the
cause, and having been, as he conceives,
Providentially placed in a situation at this
time when he can mingle this interest with
that of the business men, and thereby rem
der double service to the community, and
still further open medium Of communica-
ton by which our principles may be ex-
tended far and wide, at cheap rate. He
has purchased printing establishment, SO
as not only to be able to put a daily paper
regularly to press, but also weekly; and
still further, be able to do any other print
ing the public may be pleased to have done; !;
and he assures them that they shall have
no cause of complaint. He has made ar
rangements by which he can devote his
time to the interest of the Office and the pa
per; and, having employed Mr.. Charles w
Fenton, who will be always on the spot, to
conduct the printing, he has no doubt but
that general satisfaction will be given. We
shall make arrangements to have the earliest
news; also the. proceedings Of Congress,
We wish all lswho are indebted for the pa
per up to this time to pay up, as the affairs
Of the tri-weekly must be closed They
will perceive that we are about to give
them better paper, double the number, al
the same price.
While the COLUMBIAN FOUNTAIN" will
be devoted to the cause of Temperance, its
columns will be enriched by original articles
on subjects calculated to interest," instruct
and benefit its readers. 1t is intended so to
blend variety, amusement, and instruction
as that the various tastes of its patrons may
be (as far as it is practcable) gratifed
Commerce, Literature, and Science, and
every other subject of interest, not inconsis-
tent with Temperance and morality, will re-
ceive. the earnest attention of the publishers
Nothing Of a sectarian, political, or personal
character will be admitted.
