Servants.
There
are
frequent
complaints
in
these
days,
that
servants
are
bad,
and
dependents
and
aiding
hands
generally
are
bad.
It
may
be
so.
But
if
it
is
so,
what
is
the
inference?
In
the
working
of
the
machine
of
society,
class
moves
pretty
much
with
class;
that
is,
one
class
moves
pretty
much
with
its
equals
in
the
community
(equals
so
far
as
social
station
is
concerned),
and
apart
from
other
classes,
as
much
those
below
as
those
above
itself;
but
there
is
one
grand
exception
to
this
general
rule,
and
that
is,
in
the
case
of
domestic
servants.
The
same
holds,
though
in
less
degree,
with
assistants;
and
in
less
degree
only;
because
in
this
last
case,
the
difference
of
grade
is
slighter.
Domestic
servants,
and
assistants
in
business
and
trade,
come
most
closely
and
continually
into
contact
with
their
employers;
and
they
are
about
them
from
morning
till
night,
and
see
them
in
every
phase
of
character,
in
every
style
of
humour,
in
every
act
of
life.
How
powerful
is
the
force
of
example!
Rectitude
is
promoted,
not
only
by
precept
but
by
example,
and,
so
to
speak,
by
contact
it
is
increased
more
widely.
Kindness
is
communicated
in
the
same
way.
Virtue
of
every
kind
acts
like
an
electric
shock.
Those
who
come
under
its
influence
imbibe
its
principles.
The
same
with
qualities
and
tempers
that
do
no
honour
to
our
nature.
If
servants
come
to
you
bad,
you
may
at
least
improve
them;
possibly
almost
change
their
nature.
Here
follows,
then,
a
receipt
to
that
effect:
