A Modern CHRisTiABr.-^lnf Km* of April 27 I read this am*Mng^dv«rtise« ment :—" Required, »gentftw^y»£ibbrn t as a general servant, the work for two in a fa^WMuatedok, wash, and iron. A Ijboronja;h,)fi^#dj wid comfortable home i gsitfM^&i^§*Z*r y> £20. None of the or-cllhaf y ?i|rVftnt«. of life need answer this. No doorsTep 7 to clean, References required." If this is not a joke, it is, I think, the most impudent proposition I ever heard of. Mr Bounderby, in Sard Times, had a lady of birth for his housekeeper, Mrs 'Sparsitt (if I remember right), the thoughts of whose high connections gave him a noble sense of proprietorship. But he gave her more than £20 a year,, and did not require her to " cook, wash, and iron." The phrase," "No doorstep to clean" may suggest that the advertiser is prepared to stop somewhere, otherwise a more callous wretch it is impossible* to imagine.*" V None of the ordinary servants of life " 'will do whether ordinary or e'xtraordi,nary. address of i\fy advertiser Ib'eing'giveh in^uil^yib^eye^, it is my 'impr^oh^k^^f^n^JrrflX' his has jfeen^playing Aiverv cruel' Ipractical joke luman beingfcan: have been'so^ shameless . r^;^;«|^fcEf^!%Vmarid^in/such a ,\
