INDO.LENCE.-When man has moth
ing but leisure, Incidence overspreads the
whole Of his time. He does nothing. He
grows mo ody and gloomy. His spirits sink
and languish into lethargy: his parts, being
in no motion are of no use to him. But
straighten him by business, and you put
his spirits in motion. He is full of alacrity
He has in reality, more leisure than he had
when he had nothing but leisure. Divide
his time into portions distribute some for
business, Others for pleasure, and he has a
landmark to direct himselfby; His life has a
determined course like water enclosed by
its banks. But leave him to himself-give
him nothing but Incidence, and his life Is
no longer Ikea stream that flows along
1t has no channel-it has no current 1T is
like a stagnant piece Of water not confined
by any thing, and, yet having noinlet. At
first 1t is port-a mere mash but as it
widens and largens, and deepens, it expands
into an extensive area,-an immense lake,
without motion, without tide, e,-having in it
none of the elements of life, but all those
of death and Instruction. Dead Sea.

To the friends Of Temperance and the
public generally we now make our appeal
in behalf of this paper. The publisher
feeling it a 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 ne concelves,
Providentially placed in 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 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
10 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 earlies,
news; also the proceedings Of Congress.
We wish all who are indebted for the pa
per up to this time to pay up, as the affairs
of the tr-weekly must be closed They
will perceive that we are about to give
them better paper, double the number, a,
the same price.
While the sCoLUMBIAN 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 te
blend variety, amusement, and instruction
as that the various tastes of its patrons may
be (as far as it is practicable) gratifed
Commerce, Literature, and Science, ant
every other subject of interest, not mconsis
tent with Temperance and morality, will re-
ceive the earnest attention of the publishers
Nothing of sectarian, political, or persona
character will be admitted.
