There was a Golden Rule Society in the 1850 & 60's that created a Cinderella, letting the recipient of a letter know they had paid all or part of the postage, and asked to be reimbursed. I do not know anything about this Cinderella, except that it is religious and very early. Of course, it refers to the Golden Rule:
Matthew 7:12, Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.Many thanks to Mr. John Denune for this informations.

I'd like to ask where the scan came from. Not quite sure what I am looking at. I think I am seeing a space where a stamp once lay ?  |

I found this seal stuck on the inner cover of an old diary from the year 1868. I scanned the entire page, and than cropped only the place with stamp.
If you would like to see, I can upload a scan of the entire page... |

After some research, I think I found the source of that cinderella, which is highlighted in the attached ad that was one of several sayings available from a Chicago publisher, Sewell & Miller:  Interestingly I found this buried within a series of articles in a magazine called "The Little Corporal: Fighting Against Wrong; and for the Good, the True, and the Beautiful" dated August 1870. |

Great job done, Wt1! Thanks!
So, it seems that "Evangelical Press Association", and not the "Golden Rule Society", issued these cinderellas |

Thanks, all. Since posting my research, I discovered that the publisher of the advertised stamps was the same firm that published the magazine, too. |

Not remotely connected, but perhaps fitting of an aged 1868 diary, A table, showing the length of the day at var latitudes. Written in his own hand, by one Christopher Colombus. (columbian library of seville)  |
