[secured with wax, and the letter sealed with wax.
5. Half a sheet of letter paper or light foolscap, with a half eagle ew
[losed, secured and sealed with a wafer.
,6 A sheet of letter paper may contain a dime and a half ; or a hdf
Uet may contain a quarter of a dollar.
• 7. A sheet of letter paper may enclose 7 bank notes and be sealed
ih wax; or 3 bank notes, and the whole in an envelope.
Remittances, of any sum not exceeding Ten Dollara at any one time,

i eight dollars, which he wishes to remit to him. He will pay this a

Good Counsel.—No young man can hope to rise in society,or act
worthily his part in life, without a fair moral character. T t>e basis
of such character is a virtuous, fixed sense of moral obligation, sus
tained and invigorated by the fear and love of God. I he youth who
possesses such a character can be trusted. Integrity, justice, benev¬
olence, truth, are not with hiin mere words without meaning; he
feels and knows their sacred import, and aims in the tenor of his life
to exemplify the virtues they express. Such a man has decision of
charactei ; he knows what is right, and is fir in in pursuing iL

one's eyes and blubbering over all the ills that flesh is heir to. Red
eyes especially if caused by brand y, or any of its kind red. are scan¬
dalous looking affairs. The best way is to " stand up to the rack."
and take the good things and the evil as they come alorg, without
repining alw iys cheering yourself with that philosophic ejaculation
of Jacoh Faithful. " better luck next time."
