cloud on her young spirit. She gazed with wild

Rbalta turned his steps to Italy, with noble resolve
to win name and claim his bride. He followed the

TO MY SISTER.
BY MISS EMALINE EVANS

BY MISS EMALINE EVANS
A beautious flower, oh sister,
In wild wood paths is seen,
With bushes on its bosom sweet,
And leaf of shining green.
From Spring time to the falling year
Its twining arms are found
Caressing trees OF giant growth,
Or trailing on the ground.
1Vhene'er see It's chalice meek
Uplifted to the sky,
/ mind me of thy blushing cheek,
Thy gently sparkling eye.
Thy shining wealth of golden halr.-
And forehead pure as snow
And the blessed hours,
Spent mid the flowers,
In long, long years ago.
All never more, dear sister,
Shall We again be found,
Stray birds in the dim wilderness,
With rose-wreath letters bound +;
Yet to my soul comes back that hour,
Whene'er these birds see
These jewels of the forest bower,
Devote to love and thee =.

THE BALLOT BOX.

Freedom's consecrated dover,
Casket of a priceless gem!
Nobler heritage of power
Than imperial diadem!
Corner stone on which was reared
Iiberty's triumphant dome,
When the glorious form appeared
Midst our own green mountain home,
Purchased by as noble blood
As in mortal veins e'er run,
BY the toll of those who stood
At the side of WASHINGTON
By the hearts that met the foe
On their native battle plain, o.
Where the arm that deals the blow
Never heeds to strike again.
Guard it freemen! guard it well!
Spotless as your maiden's fame!
Never let your children tell
OF your weakness-of your shame;
That their fathers basely sold
What was bought with blood and toll
That you bartered RIGHT for GOLD,
Here on Freedoms SOIL
Let your eagles quenchless eye,
Fixed unerring, sleepless, bright,
Watch, when danger hovers nigh,
From his lofty mountain height;
While the stars and stripes shall wave
Ger this treasure pure and free
The lands Palladium, it shall save
The home and shrine ofLiberty.

ROYAL GIFT TO AN AMERICAN AUrHoR.-We
have Just learned of most fattering compliment
that has been recently paid by crowned head OF Eu-
rope to an American writer, Mr.. A. ]. Downing, o.
Highland Gardens, New-York, who published, not
long since, most charming book on landscape gar
dening. Mr.. Henry Wickof who arrived yester-
dav in the Acadia, from Liverpool, has brought over
with him an autograph letter from the Queen oil
Holland. together with magnificent ruby ring encr-
cIed nv three rows of fine diamonds in acknowledge
ment of the pleasure her majesty derived from the
late perusal of Mr. Downing's book. A compliment
like this form royal parsonage to an American au-
thor is certainly quite novel; and what enhances Its
value is the new mode made choice of. The gilt oil
Jewel is the familiar form that crowned head usual
" selects to express royal approbation but 1t is the
first instance of the kind know of where an auto
graph letter was added to give stronger emphasis TO
sucb testimonial Werecord with great pleasure
this marked compliment to the talents OF a fellow
countryman, and congratulate Mr.. Wckoff upon his
honorable commission.-Boston Post.

To the friends Of Temperance and the
public generally we now make Our appeal
III 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 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 communca-
ton by which our principles may be ex-
tended far and wide, at cheap rate, ne
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 who are indebted for the pa
per up to this time to pay up, as the affairs
of the tri-weekly mtist be closed. They
will perceive that we are about to give
them better paper, double the number, at
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 It is intended so TO
blend variety, amusement, and instruction,
as that the various tastes of its patrons may
be las far as it is practicable) gratified
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 publisher
Nothing Of sectarian, political, or personal
character will be admitted.
