and lnxnry are weakly dependent on the

sisted ou that nervauts should bo wholly

Not being the fciou of a lordly bouse, nor
indeed a scion that w.vt nursed id what is
called "the lap of luxury," albeit a decent an 1
even opulent autlicieiMy w.is never warning
fate happily ordained that we should not 1m
waitd ou ivy the dreadful familiars, who seem
to be all prolonged calves and clouds of powd-r.
Their dreadful olives were never needed. .No
ne can guess what is in store for U3 before
we die. or what dazzling service may entitle us
to receive a coronet at the hands ot our sove
reign. Yet as such distinction entails the
dreadful offices of those attendants, it would
seem to embitter that laudable triumph. Those
long aud languid men, flabby in texture, would
appear to take the function of the slave on the
car of the Roman general. Thoir terrible
equanimity and monotonous whiteness appal.
In that remote contingency of tha coronet just
alluded to, lordly state should be kett alto
gether without their assistance. They would
embitter the revels, and on auy occasions of
Btate the aid of hired professionals would more
than suffice.
Wandering round the more noble squares,
we catch glimpses through hall windows and
pen hall doors of these splendid but costly
ligures. They seem to us outsiders about as
ornamental as the Dresden on my lady's
chimney-piece. They lean languidly and con
verse with each other, their calves crossed some
thing after the manner of the supporting limbs
f a camp-stool. Sometimes they may borrow,
unwittingly, from Cruikshank, and ask one
another in easy innocence, "What is taxes,
Thomas ?" Wonderful aristocrats I We serve
hem, not they us. Their manner and air, if
imported into the classes above, would be the
perfection of refined hauteur and accomplished
languor. About the door of one of our great
mansions in one of our grander squares, an
"afternoon tea," or what is called a kettle
drum, was lately going ou. The carriages
were drawn up in crowds in a pleasant yet
liarmonious disorder, en echellon, to use the
military nhfase. A whole group of the gen
tlemen, who sat behind, were gathered round
the door, talking in an easy way, as if on the
Bteps of their club. They were rallying, I
think, a very handsome gentleman, certainly
over six feet high, on the natural penchant
which they insisted was entertained for him
in a very exalted quarter. These compli
ments he accepted with an air of high-bred
good humor, and without a shade of vexa
tion. I thought I could distinguish in the
group the regular traces of circles above them
lout, indeed, these things only repeat them
selves. I thought I saw the heavy political
man, the old stager, who knows the world,
Jiad been "fast" in his youth, and seen service
that is, many services; also the young airy
gallant, iresh upon town and delighted with
everything, ana wiiose nananng oi ins cane
letrayed a little inexperience, and the funny,
jovial fellow, who had a fund of humor. At
; times a loud and hearty "burst of laughter, as
If in a club window, attested his powers. Then
came a bit of nature. Up drove a brougham,
clearly an hired one, and hired from an obscure
professor. Its footman got down, aud was look
ing for a house. This ignorance was raw
enough, and, indeed, a glimp3e at the tenants
snowed something in the country cousin way.
But the servant their servant ! He wa3 a
mere country lad, put into a livery made by a
, country town tailor, with a country town hat,
white cotton gloves, a world too wide and too
long for his fingers. But apart from these ac
cidents, the air of the fellow betrayed him; he
' goented of the plough. He passed by looking
at the numbers wildly, and then went back
to bis employers. They pointed to the group
of gentlemen who were conversing, and pre
sently, a little nervous all the time, he came
up to them and asked for information. The
langh was suspended. The seven or eight
gentdemen all looked down at this grotesque
lelonging to their order, for he was very short,
and his coat tails stuck in a really comic way.
One of them answered his question with per
feot politeness, not without sarcasm, that
"This was the 'ouse jest be'nd 'iui." Rut as
the provincial novice moved away, elate with
Ws information, the seven or eight faces
looked after him in intense enjoy
ment, the young elegant simpered, the hu
morist made a joke; there was a galaxy
of smiles, but, mark, nothing to exceed the
laws of propriety. They could not but enjoy
it. But a richer treat reruaiued: when the
ancient brougham drew up, aud the provincial
lialf-page, half-footman for he hovered on the
Ixmudary between helped out his ladies ten
derly, the gentlemen drew aside with the air of
Ligh-bred men, yet with a look of amused cu
' riosity and superciliousness that was charm
ing. One assumed a sickly smile, and made
tin eye blink, carrying out the fiction of an
eye-glass. Yt.t it must be understood dis
tinctly that as the country-town ladies passed
in, in ineir couniry-iown nnery of a nass
pattern, there was nothing to trench on the
laws of good breeding, save, indeed, in the be-
. havior of one gentleman in the rear, and
covered, so to speak, by his fellows, who threw
back his powdered head and gave a stamp on
the pavement m a sort oi silent spasm of
lnnrrhter. The humorist of tho urole was verv
pleasant on the whole sceue, though in a low
and suppressed voice, as became an assembly
of gentlemen.
But it is in what are called "great houses"
that we feel awe-stricken by these gentry. We
are invited on a visit to the Most Noble the
Marriuia of Frendlesham, and find a tall white
ling, whose address and calmness whose
placid stare, make us feel uncomfortable, told
ofl" specially to look after our happiness. His
ame is perhaps "Charles." In vain do we
assure ourselves that this is only som,
"common fellow," a mere footman, certainly of
inferior clay; for still the result is unoomforta
We! Why not have human beings to wait at
Kese august places, not icicles or rods f We
know ver? well what goes on below; for our
wirings her maid, who is on a visit too
and wadt .welcome to the greater community
THE DAILY EVENING
down stairs. . The place seems to swarm with
the ladies and gentlemen that attend on other
ladiceand gentlemen. The strictest division
is enforced.' Onr Jady's-matd, as a guest, 1
welcomed in the housekeeper's room, aud sits
with Mr. Cook, the butter, Mr. Colley, the
housekeeper, Jackson, the groom of the cham
ber, and Mr. Jonwi, the Kteward. Here more
elegant maDner prevail. ut alar off our
maid hears the pleasant laughter in the
"servants' 'all," the more unrestrained revels,
where "Jeawes" and "Chawles" are giving
way to their natural spirits a? men of the
world, irho knew town life, convulsing the!
rustics present by their delineation of London
life aud manners. To be a "gentleman" on a
visit at one of these great houses must be a
great treat, and u welcome change. My lord's
vah t has nothing but the mere valet duties.,
in reference to my lord's clothes and
hot water; the rest of his timo is
for himself. The noble person who
entt rtains takes care, for the sake of his own
aunt, that the entertainment in the way of
eating and drinking shall be oh a fitting scale
of liberality. My lord's valet, who is a fair
and rather sickly young man wearing beautiful
linen and a gold chain, is much admired by the
rosy and buxom ladies who look at him from
afar off, from the scullery say, but dare not ap
proach nearer. f a morning we often see hiin
through the trees taking a peusivo walk, really
as regards dress (he has a shooting coat of my
lord's on) not to be distinguished from my
lord himstlf. Rut he is not much favored by
the other gentlciuen, who say he is "dayvilish
line." Who that loves human character woul 1
not take any reasonable step, save, of course,
unworthy listening at keyholes, etc., toloikon
at this strange world down stairs ? It would
be the most entertaining mirth-moving pas
time. Tht ie is an admirable farce, full of hu
mor, the credit ot wuicu a ciergyman-sciiooi-marter
aKtumed, but which really came from
l'avid Garrick, that deals with this under-side
of life, and which has been too much neglected
of late years. Who has not laughed with a
genuine efnovment at uigu luh ueiow Mairs,
and the quarrel of My Lord Duke and Sir
Harry about their respective pretensions to
'Lady Bab"; ihe chord oi true Humor is
touched here, aud finds an echo in Reality, the
cal source of genuine laughter. Not as noW,
when some poor accident, which is merely ab-
sura ana not numerous, some wreicueu iwisi
of mouth or catchword, is made the basis of
a farce. The point in High Life Below stairs
is to be found in our nature, and the play will
be understood and relished a hundred years
lence.
In a community of this sort, where the menial
offices devolve on guests as well as hosts (we are
still on the lower level), there sometimes will
arise serious causes of quarrel. High words
arise, not eomuch between .leames and Chawles,
as between Chawles ana iuiss cotter, i-uiay
Harriet's own maid. This arises naturally out
of a division of duties only imperfectly settled;
and the guest betimes, as he lies in bed, has
heard an angry conflict on the stairs, alter
nating with sarcasm and strong personality,
together with a sound as ot ladies' boots Deing
flung down, with an "It aiu't mydooty; I ain't
a-going to wait on your Laiy Har-yet," with a
prompt retort, "Pick 'em up, you leow fellah
you !" But m the evenings in the 'all, every
thing is smoothed away, and Chawles forgets
the past like a true gentleman and man ot tue
world as he is, who scorns to war with tue
softer sex.
Perhaps the next entertaining and satisfac
tory of all the lower professions, the most
variegated and exciting, must be that of a
"waiter" in elegant practice. It is surprising
it is not overstocked. There are many of our
sons ana brothers m what thru consider pro
mising practice at the bar, and making not
nearly so much in fees, and they never enjoy
perquisites. I speak, of course, of a waiter
with a good connexion, who is on terms of
friendship with the leading cooks and confec
tioners, and who is knowu to have a light
charming touch, aud so much respect for the
dignity of his order as to take but a moderate
tithe out of what is going. There are plenty
of your rude coarse hands, whose very air and
bearing are an offense. In all professions there
are the bunglers; the heavy men, who miss
the opportunity often offered, and which doe3
not again present itself.
It is surprising how much depends on this
"tact," as it may be called. How often has the
first brief set the briefless on his road to fame
and fortune ! Krskine, when so called on in
an emergency, felt, he said, his little ones at
home tugging at his gown. And often the
stray waiter, obscure, unknown, "had in" on
the pressure of the moment, simply and wholly
because there was none else to be had, this
aitist to speak by the card has so thoroughly
identified himself with the part, thrown him
self with feiieh good humor and zeal in the
desperation of the crisis supplying the place of
the absent, being here, there, and everywhere,
that he at once attracted the favor of all pre
sent; and A. B. (he would not like me to
name him), whom we now feel hovering be
hind us at my lord duke's, nay, even at yet
higher jinks, without whom no decent
solemnity is complete, who has a clerk to keep
his book and take his fees (as in the other
profession), traces it all to this humble be
ginning. Rut I think it was the occasion, not
the cause. His preferment must have come.
But, it may be repeated, of all the less exalted
professions, which entail what is called the
sweat of the brow, waiting is the most enticing.
Waiters see the best and the most intellectual:
they hold conversations with the noblest and
most gifted in the land with the premier, the
primate, the lord mayor, the poet, the novelist,
the orator: they converse in easy fashion
on the peripatetic questions as to the
choice of wine, whether port, sherry, claret,
or madeira and the reply surely amounts to
a conversation? What glittering scenes of
splendor they are admitted to ! What ravish
ing beauty they may look on ! They, indeed,
go out to balls, dinners, and parties, as much
as the most fashionable. No wonder that
everything else trade, labor, and even that
final haven of public-house proprietorship
should be more or less insipid. By a little
lictiou they may hold themselves as much in
vited as the guests. And, let it be added,
that, without impeachment of guilt, there ar.
certain tithinns. in the way of meats and
drinks of the choicest sort, to which they are
fairly entitled, provided they be taken with
delicacy and moderation. There are remnants
aud surplusages which no host can grudge
them, possibly because there can be no
restraint of any practical value. But his must
be a low. coaise mind that can bring dis
grace upon his order by flagrant aud helpless
intoxication. The emoluments, too, are cer
tainly opulent, not to say luxurious. Many u
geutieiuau that is in good practice receives
tsevt-ial retainers for tho one night, and with
good bands such divided snrvice has its value
Money is put by; aud after very low years the
cheiibhed goal is leached, and the longed-for
"public" opened. This, the longed-for Bar, is
what the Bench would be for a member of the
otner proiesHion.
Jn contrast to occasional and transient ser
vice, who does not know the family treasure,
the pearl or price, the faithful retainer, who
has been in the family, "man and boy, nigh
forty year" in short, the eld servant.

tho theatrical view; bnt Borne of these ancieut

some pension, whose amount is an Indignity
and cause of injury. Their redeeming merit
is a strict honwsty; they will not wrong yon
in what they call "a pin's point." But they
are more passive where others are concerned.
They think something is due to the credit of
the house, and rather stand up for all imposi
tions. They keep us in a decent bondage, the
ladies in a sort of terrorism; and grave con
sultations bave to lie held, and mutual sup
port conceded, before "John" or "William"

worse, have the news broken to hun that iwr.
and Mrs. Brown are coming to dinner. Din
ners, teas, massages, are all so many syno
nyms for trouble. The face of the ancient
retainer, as he opens the hall door to adrnii
some new modern "notion" say a iern
case, carried in by two men is worth
studying, bearing an expression compounded
of disgust, wonder, contempt, aud anger.
He looks after the object with a mut
tered "Well, well! after that I Now this ends
it 1" As for the "Rooshian" system as applied
to dinners, that "goes beyond the beyonds."
In his eyeb, it is next to sitting down like the
savapes, and pulling the meatwith our lingers.
Ihe idea oi a dinner that is no dinner, a taMe
with nothing to eat upon it ! That in its own
way vns going beyond the beyonds. But
when the retainer gets sick and is prostrated
and near his end, as he, but no one else,
thinks; when be moans aud crones over him
self, and more than hints in faltering accents
that it is the overwork of the cruel family
who bave brought him to this sore pass, but
whom he forgives, with a "rio matter now,"
dating it all from the night of the party.when
all that weary, "weary work" was laid on his
back. Everything on lus back, it is we who
are in the service of these "treasures," not
they in ours.
They do not consider, too, how often they
bring us to shame by their iree-and-easy bear
ing, their volunteer conversations at the hall
door. With persons of condition and acute ob
servation they talk on perfect equality. It wa3
an old Irish retainer who was on duty in the
hall of, of course, an Irish family, on the
night of a party, and called after some of the
company who were going in a wrong direction
to take ofl their cloaks, etc. "Come back,
will ye ! Come back, I say. It's in here yec'a
to ithni) .'" And yet, take them for all in all,
with all their failings and blemishes, and the
slavery into which they sell us still after a
line of monsters, who drink and steal, or are
impudent, or quarrelsome, or idle, the eye
looks back wistlully to the honest imperfec
tions of the "old retainer." Between them
both there is not much to choose. Yet the ab
sence of vices is a recommendation
Still it is always good to see masters and
servants grow old together; even better to see
hereditary service kept up where there is a
lineage of service in the servants' halls as well
as a lineage recorded in Burke, where the son
of the late Sir John's old butler ministers to
Sir John's successor. It is in such houses that
every kind of menial office is best performed.
Such families have their systems and tradi
tions, in which there are traditions of service
that cause every new servant, when new ser
vants are required, to fall into the ways of the
house ways of too old growth, and too lirnily
established, to be lightly thrown out of order.
To govern a large establishment well requires
an education, just as much as teaching and
training are required to make efficient servants.
A good servant is a pearl of great price, aud
yet, somehow, there are few who would like to
have Mr. Joseph Andrews for their footman.
ne notion oi a pious man-servant is. some
how, offensive, possibly from a suspicion
insincerity, though this seems a rather
harsh idea. A more reasonable explana
tion is the perpetual reminder of our own
inferiority to one who should be inferior
in all things, even in piety. We have a
sneaking preference for the man who had no
objection to attend family prayer, but hoped
it would be considered in the wages; there was
Irankness in this declaration which com
mended itself at once. Here we were superior.
We could reason drop the word and bring
him back to right courses. But with Mr.
Joseph Andrews it is different; be he ever so
respectful or so modest in his piety, we do not
like it. Rut this is onenine a chapter in
human nature; for. perhaDs. we do not like
superior piety" in others, even in our equals.
What does all this point to? Whither are
we to turn? There must be relief some
where. The evil is beginning to excite the
consideration of thoughtful men.
ii is, indeed, a ludgment on our vanity. 10

Justice Blackstene calls one of "the worthier
blood" to open our door when Mr. Jones calls.
we suffer actually at home, and lay down our
unresisting bodies to be driven over again and
again uy a vile Juggernaut butler or iootman.
Away with the nuisance, I say ! The real
remedy is not so far off. There is a neat-handed
lhyllis, trim perhaps prettv smart light

iuucii, sou iu walk, nimble, brisK, ana,

while the wretch was lying on his bed with

silver at the sideboard, or take an hour get
ting round the table. In the value of her at
tendance she is worth two of the chartered
brutes, especially to those who have no legiti
mate estate to keep up. An attentive, quiet,
ready, systematic male servitor at table is,
however, invaluable, not only to himself, but
as an example to the less accomplished under
strappers, and where he is in his proper place,
that is. with a master who can afford to keep
him. Those who cannot, should be contented
with and prize the neat-handed l'hvllis. But,
alas! how many struggle on with mongrel
