1t is, believe, generally conceded that
mountain scenery is calculated to inspire
those who behold il with lofty and holy
sentiments. Let me give this idea in the
beautiful words Of one Of our poets


"Not all unnoticed are thy forms of love,


Peerless America thy mountains rise


With cloudy coronas, and tower above


The vegetable kingdom to the skies,


Calling upon thy sons TO gaze Nth thee


Starrard in homage cf the Deity"


Whether the humble individual who pens
these lines shall be able to illustrate the
truth of the above by his own example, he
cannot say; yet he is disposed to aid SO far
as it may be in his power, in swelling the
"Fountain," that it may send forth, not only
a pure, healthlul and refreshing stream for
the inhabitants of 'Columbia's SOIL" but
may, also, afford enough for all who will
drink from it; and, in order that this may
be the case, variety Of talent should be
called into exercise in furnishing matter for
your periodical, since there can be no doubt
but you will have readers Of different tastes,
sentiments; and habits to supply It is in
this view of the subject that have indulged
a hope of lending you mite Of assistance; !;
and should you accept Of this paper for pub
lication, shall regard it as an intimation Of
your willingness to admit any suitable COM
munications may make in future. 8
