CHRISTIAN CHARITY AMONG AMATEUR HOTELKEEPERS.

To the Editor of the Olohe, Sir, — Ah a “new chum” I one day this week applied for work at a well-known Temperance establishment, where I had been told there would shortly be several vacancies. Now, I confess to knowing what one servant’s duties should be, and was somewhat astonished when the worthy person who is supposed to pretide over the Internal arrangements of the concern informed me that my duties would be—To attend to and keep clean the billiard-room, to assist in the scullery, to assist In the pantry, to keep all the windows clean, and of these there are only about a hundred ; to assist to wait at table, and to stay in the house each alternate Sunday. The wages were to be £1 per week, and 1 was to have what spare time I could make, I tendered my thanks and respectfully declined the billet. My notion now is that those directors of public companies and house committees _ whose aspirations lead them in the direction of amateur hotel keeping should send their wives, sons, and daughters to do the work in places about which they are so fond of playing “Paul Pry.” Yours, &0.,| Jh NISW CHUM.
