dared to show the other. Every warm
and tender feeling that woman may or does
know had been nourished and treasured, to
lavish on him whom she had barely time
to claim ere he was lost to her.
Her kind friend the hostess, as she sat
by her bedside, slept also. The Bible lay
open upon the stand near by, and recorded
upon its blank leaf was her marriage, the
ink barely dry, and the page bearing evil
dence in its stain of recent tears. They
were not idly shed, for in the same moment
she had been pronounced wife she became
a widow.
CHAPTER III.
The boats crew, whose perilous feat we
attempted to describe, escaped but one dan
ger to be exposed to another. They gained
an offing in safety and while laboring to
reach those in distress, their boat came in
contact with storm driven barque; the
shock staving and upsetting her. But,
though broken, from her peculiar construc-
ton she righted, still buoyant, and but one
of her crew-that one the masters SON
was missing. The survivors succeeded in
preserving their distance from the shore
until daylight authorized them in the at
tempt at landing, which was effected with
safety. To the father and wife the tale
they bore was indeed heart-rending. The
former became bereft of reason-the latter
but barely escaped death. Upon her re-
covery, her care and time were wholly de-
voted to the father of her husband.
Months sped. The tale of woe, from
being oft narrated, in measure lost its hor-
rors by familiarity, and time was fast eras-
ing it from the minds of many Not sc
with Alice; with the devotion Of her sex
she was to be seen in sunshine and storm
robed in the habiliments of the widow, guild
ing the footsteps and supporting the totter'
ing frame Of childish old man, who daily
climbed to the lookout upon the cliffs
where, in pleasant weather, he would sit
for hours watching with his glass the mo.
ton of passing vessels.

To the friends Of Temperance and the

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 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 a 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
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 must be closed. They
will perceive that we are about to give
them better paper, double the number, at
the same price.
While the aCoLUMBIAN FOUNTAIN" will
