~ AMELIA, (Of LOuisville.)
] met once, in mI girlish hours,
A creature soft and warm
Her cottage bonnet plumed with flowers
Hung swinging from her arm;
Her Voice was sweet as the voice Of love-
And her teeth were pure as peaFls,
While her forehead lay like q snoRswhite dove
In a nest of nut-brown cnrs;
She was thing unknown to fame
Melodia was her strange sweet name.
never saw on eye SO bright
And yet 90 soft as hers;
Il sometimes swan in liquid light,
And sometimes swan in tears;
It seemed beauty set apart
For softnees and for sighs;
But oh Melodia's melting heart
Was setter than her eyes;
For they were only formed 10 spread
The softness from her spirit shed.
I've gazed on many brighter face,
But meier on one for years,
Where beauty left 80 soft trace
AS it had left on hers;
But who can paint the spell that woye
A brightness round the whole.
'Twould tBke an angel from above
To paint the immortal soul
To trace the light, the Unborn grace,
The spirit sparkling DER her lace.
Her bosom was soft retreat
For love. and love alone,
And yet her heart had never beat
Tolove's delicious tone;
II dwelt within it's circle free
From tender lhoughtp like these,
Waiting the little deity
AS the blossom waits the breeze,
Before it throws its leaves apart
And trembles like the love-touched heart.
She was a creature strange as fair,
Fret mournful and then wild,
Now laughing on the clear bright air
As merry as child,
Then melting down as soft as even,
Beneath some new control,
She'd throw her halle eyes to Heaven.
And sing with ell her soul,
In tones as rich az some young birds
Warbling her own delightful words.
Melodia. oh how soft thy darts,
How gentle and how sweet!
Thy song unclaimed thousand hearts
And drew them % thy feeti
And ns thy bright lips sang they caught
Sc beautiful ray, So
The spirit Of the lay
Had left while melting on the air
Its sweet expression painted there.
Sweet vision Of that starry even!
Thy virgin beauty yet.
Next to the blessed hope Of Heaven,
Is in my spirit set;
It is . something shrined apart
A light from memory shed
To live until this tender hearts
On which it lives is dead,
Reminding me Of brighter hours,
vi summer ewes, and sumner flowers.

The present number completes the NINTH
volume Of the WING, and we hope that we
have, during the past year, given general
satisfaction 10 our readers. Since the irsl
establishment Of our paper 10 this place, we
have labored under Vulnerable disadvanta,
ges, and nothing but the most constant per-
severance and industry on our part, has en-
abied Us 70 bufit the many hurdships and
trials through which we have passed. We
established newspaper here at an early
period, when larger support from the PEG.
pie ofthis and the adjoining counties than
would defray the actual expenses of its
publication could not reasonably be expec
ted, But owing to the kindness Of friends
and our own exeTtions, we have Of late re-
ceived fair portion pf patronage. And we
will here remV thar our subscription list
is constantly increasing, and it is our deter.
mination to make our future numbers as
interesting as any other paper in the State,
and we call upon those indebted to US, to
come forward and assist US, by paying up
old scores.
When we FIRST established paper here,
it was under the conviction that our sub
scriptiOns, advertising and jOb.WOrk would
be paid for when the money was due; but
nine years experience has proven to US that
we were sadly Guped.-There are debts now
standing upon our books due us from our
Urry first commencement, and each year,
under the system we have too literally pur~
sued, instead Of contracting those debts,
does but make them of greater extent. We
cannot collect monies that are due US, no
matter Uhdt course we pursue. If we couI-
teously ask for debt, we are uncourteous.
ly put of for a week--a month-perhaps
longer; and when promised time for pay
ment arrives, the debtor scarcely recolects
that he has ever contracted such debt
Surely "the laborer is worthy of his hire
Heaven is ouI Judge (and we call upon those
who know US, as Witnesses that we have
IaboTed assiduously, to the extent that laid
in our power, for the public welfare from
the time that our sheet first emenated. from
the press at this place to the present, but
II would seem 10 us, that it must have been
the opinion Of some persons, that the act
Of having located ourselves here, was a suf
hcient guarantee that we would supply the
public with news and newspapers gratis
The Printer is looked upon as a public i'm.
plement-to be used by all persons, fol
what they please, and when they please,
until completely worn out-then thrown
aside as useless. 1t now becomes the duty
Of the Printer himself to put a stop to this,
and zoe are determined to do it.
Now if our debtors will please to pay as,
it will please US to pay our creditors.
