"Servants'
sympathies
are
with
their
equals.
They
feel
for
a
poor
servant
run
off
his
legs,
and
moped
to
death;
they
have
no
feeling
for
a
pains-taking
mistress,
economical
both
from
principle
and
scanty
means;
they
would
(most
of
them)
see
her
property
wasted,
and
her
confidence
abused
without
compunction.
It
is
the
last
effort
of
a
virtue
in
a
servant
if,
without
any
private
reason,
he
should
discharge
his
duty
by
informing
you
of
the
injury
which
you
are
enduring
at
the
hands
of
his
fellow
servant.
It
is
an
effort
of
virtue,
for
it
will
bring
down
many
a
bitter
taunt
and
hard
word
upon
his
faithful
head.
'I
never
got
a
servant
out
of
a
place
by
telling
tales
on
him,'
will
be
said
to
him.
Directly
a
servant
departs,
we
all
know,
tongues,
tied
before,
are
loosed,
to
gain
our
favor
by
apparent
candor.
When
it
can
avail
us
nothing,
we
are
told.
We
all
know
this,
and
have
said,
'Be
silent
now,
you
should
have
mentioned
this
at
the
time.'
Supposing,
then,
you
have
the
rara
avis,
the
servant
that
'speaks
at
the
time,'
be
chary
of
him,
or
let
me
say
her,
(the
best
servants
are
women.)
Oh!
as
you
value
her,
let
her
not
suppose
you
cannot
part
with
her.
Treat
her
with
confidence,
but
with
strict
impartiality;
reprove
when
necessary,
mildly,
but
decidedly;
lest
she
should
presume
(power
is
so
tempting),
and
compel
you,
if
you
would
retain
your
freedom,
to
let
her
go.
