PARTING WORDS.

We refer to those who have enjoyed
the benefit of our labors for three or
more years past, without seeming to
care the toss of q copper whether we
ever get our pay or not. we wish to
part with them as pleasantly as posi-
bic under the circumstances but a few
parting words may not be amiss.
Now, Sirs, please put yourselves in
to an attitude Of reflection, aud hear
ns patiently. During the past three
years we have sent you 1856 sheets Of
paper, which cost us Including wrap
pers) not less than cent sheet, or
$l,56. Each one of those sheets of
paper has been handled seycn times
before it was ready for delivery. In
addition to this, our typc-setters have
picked up and laid down, for your ben.
CIT, 2l2;ll2 types were week--equal
to C,0G9, 924 a year or over ctqhteen
2ntlltons for three years For these
eervices we have paid the cash or its
equivalent. Besides all this, We have
devoted time to editorial duties-anl
spent money for ink, fuel, and other
cxpenscs-'and have been paging IN
tercst on odout ttro thousand dollars
due to us by subscribers, that we ought
TO hayc received long ago.
Now, how do you feel about it? Do
YOU soberly think it is honest to keep
back what you have, Of your own free
will and accord, voluntarily promised
TO pay us? Have we not faithfully
performed our portion of the contract,
by furnishing you with a good paper,
promptly and regularly as the wecl;
came round? And will you not now
wake mp to a sense Of duty-malic a
special effort, before you attend to any
thing clse--and save us from the very
painful necessity Of sending an officer
10 collect our dues
You will feel considerably lost with
out the paper, and SO will your wife
md children but the fault is not ours.
Our circumstances will not permit us
70 pursue tho credit system any further.
Our debts must be paid, and this can
only be done by collecting what is due
80 US. Have the kindness, then, to
take this matter right home to your
self. Regard it rs a friendly appeal,
made by orc who wishes you we'll
and who would be glad to continue to
serve you, to the best Of his ability.
The paper now in your hand is the
last Of Volume Sand the last that
VIC can send to those who have not
settled for year. 1t is by pUNcTUAI.
SUBSCRIBERS that We have been sus-
tanned hitherto---and for their benefit.
and our own conformity, that we shall
continue to labor. right chccrrully-
