. 0 1. Familiar Style of Servant.
, •
= ..She 'is. rather`_ delicate' and genteel
looking,.and you •may know, from the
arrangement of her hair what the last
mode .is of disposing of rats and water
falls. She has a lace bonnet,_ with roses,
a silk mantilla, a silk dreis trimmed
with velvet, ,a white-skirt with sixteen
tucks and an embroidered ,edge, .a pair
of cloth gaiters, niiderneath which are a
pair of stockings without feet, the only
pair in her posessionk. She has no under
linen, and sleeps atnight in the working
clothes she wears in the day. She never
seems to have in her outfit either comb,
brush or tooth-brush of her own—neither
needles, thread, scissors, nor pins: her
money; when she has any, is spent on
more important articles, such as the lace
bonnet or silk mantilla, or the rats and
waterfall that glorify her head. When
she wishes to sew, she borrows what is
needful of a convenient next neighbor;
and if she gets a place in a family as
second girl, she expects to subsist in
these respects by borrowing of the better
appointed servants; or helping herself
from the family stores.
She expects of course, the very high
est of wages if she condescends to' live
out, and by help of a trim outside ap
pearance and the many vacancies that
are continually, occurring in households,
she gets places, whereher object is to do
as little of the duty assigned as possible,
to hurry through with her performances
put on her fine clothes and go a-gadding.
She is on free and easy terms with all
the men she meets, and ready at jests
and repartee, sometimes far froin seemly.
Her time of service hi any one place
lasts indifferently . from a fortnight to
two or three months, when she takes
her wages, and buys her a parasol in the
latest style and goes back to the intelli
gence office. In the different families
where she has lived she has been told a
hundred times the proprieties of house
hold life, how to make beds, arrange
rooms, wash china, glass and silver,and
set tables; but her habitual rule is o try
in each place how small and how poor
services will 'be accepted. When she
finds that less will not do she gives
more. When the mistress follows her
constantly' and shows an energetic de
termination to be well served, she shows
that she can serve well; but the moment
such attention relaxes, she slides back
again. She is as destructive to a house
as a fire; the very spirit of wastefulness
is in her; she cracks the china, dents the
• silver, stops the water pipe with rubbish;
and when she is gone, there is generally
a sum equal to half her wages to be ex
pended in repairing the effects of her
carelessness. And yetthere is one thing
to be said for her; she is quite as careful
of her employer's things as of her own.
The full amount of her mischief often
does not appear at once, as she is glib of
tongue, adroit in apologies, and lies with
as much adroitness and as little thought
of conscience as a blackbird chatters. It
is difficult for people who have been
trained from childhood in the school of
verities—who have been lectured for
even the shadow of a prevarication, and
shut up in disgrace, for a lie, till truth
becomes a habit of their souls—it is very
difficult for people so educated to under
stand how to get on with those who
never speak the truth except by mere
accident, who assert any and everything
that comes into their heads with all the
assurance and all the energy of perfect
verity.
What becomes of this girl? She finds
means, by begging, borrowing, living
out, to keep herself extremely trim anil
airy for a certain length of time, till
rats and waterfalls, the lace hat and
parasol, and the glib tongue, have done
their work, in making a .fool of some
honest young mechanic who earns three
' dollars a day. She marries him with no
higher object than to have somebody to
earn money for her to spend.
That is one ending of her career; the
other is on the street, in the haunts of
vice, in prison, in drunkenness, and
death.
Whence come these girls? They are
as numerous as yellow butterflies in
autumn; they flutter up to the city from
the country; they grow up from mothers
who ran the same sort of career before
them; and the reason why in the end
they fall out of all reputable employment
and starve on poor wages is, that they
become physically, mentally and mo
rally incapable of rendering any service
which society will think worth paying
ior.—Mrs. IT. B. biome.
Writing for the Papers
Says the Pittsburgh Chronicle: News
papers are often appealed to, in behalf of
necessitous people who desire to eke out
a meagre subsistence by their pen, and
who too often send communications
totally wanting in merit. It is difficult
to resist the plea. It is an unpleasant
thing to refuse the communication. But
the obligation which a journal has, by
"mplication at least, entered into with its
subscribers to furnish the best matter
attainable for the subscription price, will
not permit it to exercise charity at the
expense of its readers. Oliver Wendell
Holmes, in his "Autocrat of.the Break
fast Table," compares the generosity of
an editor who publishes inferior matter
upon the score of benevolence, to the
charity of those gentlemen highway
men like Claude Duval, who robbed the
rich to help the poor. Articles that are
Of sterling value in style and matter,
will find ready access to newspapers,and
where the parties sending them are in
need, they will be adequately compen
. sated, but of all wares to rely upon for a
living, the poorest for any market, are
inferior literary wares. Even the great
:`Wizard of the North," in the pleni
tude of his fame, mournfully confessed
that "Literature was a good staff but a
poor crutch." This is an age of books
and periodicals. The stream of publica
tion is swollen to overflowing, and we
Can do no less than to caution those who
propose to embark their hopes upon its
current, that the perils of the voyage far
exceed the slender contingency of suc
cess.
We approach a topic now with con
siderable trepidation. We refer to those
who have been seized with a mania for
rhyming, and who prudently fighting
shy of magazines, lay siege to news
papers with their verses. We are bound
to say that of all poor things, p oor
_rhymes are the most intolerable. Poetry
is like fiddling. It must be first-rate or
it is damnable. A man has no apology
for, making bad rhymes. His natural
language is prose. If he goes out of his
way to rhyme, he engages to do the
thing in so superior a way as toreecincile
the world to this departure from the
common mode'of expression. For inno
cent pastiame, such as writing verses for
confectioners arid albums, and obituary
notices for infants deceased at the age of
five or six'weeks, rhyming is '.legitimate
enough, and criticism has nothing to do
with it. But, when it takes a larger
.range, and challenges observation lathe
columns ofa public print,
,it should! be
of a high order, or its perpetrator should
be—well, 'We wont say what,, but. !his
friends should interfere arid take charge
of him. Genuine poetry,-next to mathe
matics, is the compactestform of hunaan
.thought: power,consists in the fact
that a line, or even a word, will phbto
graph,if the expression may be allowed,
scenes and sentiments that pages 'of
elaborate description in prose could f.not
compass. But what is this diluted
drivel, this jingling inanity that' is
usually sent to newspapers? We have
no sort of patience with the, subject.
