worthy the attentive regard of parents

hope of success in the business of life.
WASHINGTON Cry, June 20, 1S4S.

means Of success to every man engaged in

Gus exertions to improve the chirography
of the age. A gentleman or a lady either
who whites badly, never writes willingly /;
and consequently often fail to write, when
they should; and when they do write, it is
done at the list moment, with haste and
,npasicnce, and consequently with faults Of
all kinds, of,en committing and iniuring
both the writer and the cause which he ad-
vocates. Wishing you every success ia
your laudable undertakings.
