! My son, shall soon be gone, arid you will
have the management of the concern.-
Never expect to sustain your paper upon
any other foundation than its merits. Be
prudent, temperate, and upright. Work
hard. Be civil to every body, and partic-'
ularly to your customers. Ifthey call them
selves your patrons. wonldn't mind il Bill,
ly, let them call themselves nabobs, IL they
please, so long as they pay for the paper /;
never exhibit that aristocracy, which is a
part Of the original sin, that is in US all, in
any such way, for it will do no good, my SON.
Above all things, never put II IN the power
of any man, to say, that is our paper, we
subscribe twenty dollars a piece to keep it
up; for as sure as you live, Billy, sooner
or later, something will be printed, that
somebody won't like; and then somebody
will drop his subscription, to get your pa
per down. One man will withdraw, or be-,

cause you are too severe upon sinners and
upon sin; and another, because you are
not half severe enough. Another will give
you that halfway support, that will be more
injurious than no support at all and if your
paper is heartily praised by some old-fash-
toned, honest-hearted man, he will reply,

you live. You will have, many things to
encounter, that are not very agreeable
Anonymous letters of an impudent charac-

any body, not even to your wife. Where
a customer drops the paper, do not betray
your displeasure, by an extraordinary APP

meet him again. Never ruh about TO pick
