SIR. | am one of the many admirers of
your spirited paper, and who hail its appear
ance in this District as harbinger of that glo-
rious time, when this wide wilderness of in
temperance, shall blossom as the rose, and
when the rivers OF alcohol shall give place to
the crystal fountains, to drink of which is health
wealth, and length Of days.
Il beg leave, however, to call your attention
to one great obstacle TO the spread of the good
cause in this city. | refer TO the high prices
charged at the refectories, both az the Capitol
and elsewhere, for tea and coffee Omen in
The midst OF my labors, when overcome by las
situde, have longed for the refreshing flavor
of cup of tea, but in order to obtain it with
slice OF toast, quatcr Of a dollar must be paid.
This is exhorbitant, and more especially so,
when the beer drinker and the wine bibber can
get their dose for a ftp. Now sir, ask is it
not strong inducementto poor man, to take
intoxicating drink, instead of tea or coffee,
when he can procure the former at one fourth
the cost of the Iatter2
have conversed with many persons on the
subject, and they agree with me, that the es-
tablishment, at some place near the Capitol, of
a Refractory upon the Philadelphia plan, where
tea and coffee can be had for ftp, would be a
most desirable undertaking, and meet with ex-
tensive patronage Let some one try the ex-
pertinent The amount of capital required
would be but tuifing. q.

The great charm Of Daguereotye likeness,
whether Of an individual with whom we are
unaequainsed by sight, or Of one with whose
countenance we are familiar, consists in the
certainty that there can be no hattery IN the
one, and absence Of disappointment by the
non-recognition Of the other. Young Narcis-
sus, who fell in love with his own face and
form reflected from fountain, was not more
sure of the resemblance than we mus, be with
this mode of depiciure either Of ourselves or
our friends. Narcissus found Truth in Well,

The Fountain has now large circulation,

to efficient carriers, as we believe good living

energetically. We solicit such to make imme-
diate application, because, if they delay, the
places may be supplied.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

After the prayer by Mr.. fusion, who seems
generally 10 perform double duties, perforce.
Mr. Mcconnell rose TO personal explana-
ton, Ia relation TO an attack upon him in the
columns OF the Columbian Fountain and New
York Herald. In relation TO the Fountain,
vol. /, No. 5O.-The editor noticing the refusal
OF the House 10 grant the use of the hall to the
Congressional Temperance Society, had sin
gled him out among the .Mack's and B's.,
(which put tog Ather, would make beehive"
(lie was called on 10 read the artice) Mr.. BIC
Z. would not indulge them by reading the ar
tlcle. "Tbis man had great name ulysses
a big man of war, daughter loud and long.)
But why should he, Mr.. McC., be made the
scapegoal? Why should he be singled out2
Why isolate him, because he chose TO take a
glass or SO? Others, also take the same privi-
lege, and yet they were not complained Of by
his censor Of public morals. II the editor
chose TO attack him by hitting him on the pate,
ne could do so as he passed his office on the ave-
nue., and he, Ward, would find that in such a
case, his own pate would not be wholly ne
elected.
The House went into the case of the New
Jersey contested election on motion OF Mr..
Dobbn. The reports were read, majority and
minority.
Mr.. Hamln moved that the resolutions of
the minority be substituted for those OF the
majority.
Mr.. Harper, Mr.. Hamln, and Mr.. Dobbin,
participated in the Debate. Mr.. Chapman
also entered into the argument, and, without
concluding the debate, the House adjourned
at half past three.

Oh! pledge me now, the goblet pure,
Fil'd from the limpid stream;
Too long Pve quaffed the ruddy wine
And felt its mad'ning dream.
Its joys and follies now | change
For pleasures purer still;
Then raise the gass-'tis crystal clear,
Dipp'd from the mountain rill.
The dazzling wine no more has charms
To lure this mind away,
Then once fore aye-I'll bid farewell
To wines alluring sway.
Then pledge with me the chalice pure
That flows o'er pebbles bright,
For now swear TO dash the cup
Forever from my sight.

CHARITY
BY CHARLES II. BRAlNARI

BY CHARLES HI. BRAINARD.
Bright charity smiling goes forth on her mis-
sion,
Arrayed IN the garments Of seraphs above,
BY God was impaired her blessed commission,
And stamped on her brow the fair impress Of
love.
Though dark be her pathway as onward she
presses,
To comfort the mourner and bid him rejoice,
She speeds on her errand of mercy, and blesses
Pale penury's child with her life giving voice.
Her visits bring peace to the weary and sigh
ing,
And Danish all traces OF sorrow and care,
She whispers of hope in the ear Of the dying,
And lights up smile on the brow of despair
To the mother bereaved, and burdened with
anguish,
She offers the aid love alone can impart,
In sorrow the mournerno longershall languish,
Her hand heals the wound grief hath made in
her heart
To woman-dear woman-hath charity given
Her sceptre of mercy, and banner Of peace,
She bids her press on in the pathway to Hea-
ven,
And man from the bondage of sin to release.
Well follow her footsteps where'er she may
lead us,
Her beautiful banner still waving above,
Our strength shall not fail while she utters
"God speed u.s."
And points to our motto "Truth, Friendship,
and Love-"
