page. will receive attention az well on account
OF its local, as of its general interest.
The ashland Riymer' formerly of Ash
land, Del, writes US an ode this week; we shall!
ibe pleased to hear from him occasionally.

All with love and pity rent:
But, why don't You. Sisters dearest,
Make your relatives repent.
Then comes a;,ranssa lanlc rejolnder

You have slaves lal worse than nggers,

y Co.-'Ihis work Is d collection ofpoems, most
OF which have been previously published in our
leading newspapers and magazines. To the
readers OF Tile Wing ii is unnecessary to speak
OF Miss Whilllesey's merits. The articles from
her pen, which have, from time to time, a D.
peared IN its columns. have ever borne the un-
misakeabe evidences OF genius and taste; and
we know of few female writers in this country.
who excel her in heart touching rahos, and
purity Of execution. The sadness, which per-
vades a number of the poems. is entirely re-
deemed from morb idncss by .hc high toned re-
liglous sentiment which is every where appar-
ent. The authoress has the happy faculty of
making her reader her companion. We are
with her in the happy days ofchildhood-in the .
mnturer period ere yet single hope is blasted,
and while the ar,less trust that all is true as

hour when she first begins TO wake from her
dream-llte. startled to find there is lalsehood
and sorrow in the world--in the time of her
heart crushing anguish, and when she rises
superior to every aftiiction and noby dares all
things for the truth, and last OF all, we rejoice
with her that, "'tis not the whole of life TO
live, nor all ofdcnth TO dre." 1t may be, that
in the "great world'' with its glare and hurry,
its selfshness and It's lies, thu, little work may
be often passed by, bu, hundreds oftrne, earnest
hearts, who, needing not the noisy Babel, quiet
