that an empire can rise without his aid :
We have been assured, sir, in The sacred
writings, that except the Lord build the
house, they labor in vain that build it. ]
firmly believe this; and also believe that
without his concuring aid, we shall sue
ceed in this political building, no better
than the builders Of Babel. We shall be
divided by our little partial local interest !;
our projects will be confounded and we
ourselves will become a reproach and a
by-word down to future ages" He then
moved, that prayers should be performed
in that assembly every morning before
they proceeded to business.
A LIVING DEATH --Intoxication is liv-
ing death How dead to all around him is
he whose whole soul is buried beneath the
black waters of intemperance What does
he know Of the good gifts Of an eternal
God He goes forth in the morning, but
takes no delight; the soft summer breeze
which comes sweetly scented, and laden
with health over the green fields and
through the sweet brier and wild roses to
salute, as with an angels wing, the tempe
rate and good, and which finds a glad and
happy response, to him of the Bottle, is but
mockery and why why is it so' Be-
cause he is dead, bis mind is impure; and
purity and heallhlulness, in his thoughts
find no sympathy. The varied flowers as
they open their tiny lips to bless God, and
receivesthe gentle dew ofmorning, conveyto
his mind no lesson, affordto his heart no plea
sure. He is indeed dead, dead in health, in
morals, in every thing. Cheerlulness is to
him stranger, he knows not. Excitement,
maddening, delirious excitement is the ele-
ment in which he moves and unless he is
constantly under the influence and sur
rounded by the atmosphere cf such excite
ment he doubly feels his degradation Is
he not then dead And is it not our duty
to plead with him, to petition him, to beg
of him TO come once more to life

of Congress and others, that he has several
good rooms which he will let on accommodating

the South side of Pennsylvania avenue, between
9th and 10th Streets and equi distant between the
Capitol and the public offices. Ihaye also two of
the best cellars in the city, which will rent in

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 concelves,
Providentially placed in situation at this
time when he can mingle this interest with
that of the, business men, and thereby rem
der a 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. lie
has purchased printing establishment, 50
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 must be closed. They
will perceive that we are about to give
them better paper, double the number, at
the same price.
While the sCoLUMBIAN FOUNTAIN" will
be devoted to the cause of Temperance, It's
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 las far as it is practicable) gratifed
Commerce, Literature, and Science, and
every other subject of interest, not inconss-
tent with Temperance and morality, will re-
ceive the earnest attention of the publishers
Nothing of sectarian, political, or personal
character will be admitted.
