DEATH, OR SERVITUDE.--We really begin to
think, with " Widow Work'em," that there will soon be
no servants to be had on any terms, such is the rage for
the genteel, the craving after fine-ladyism. This week
another victim to the false views of life prevalent, has
committed suicide. Her parents being poor, placed the
girl out as servant. This transition preyed on her mind,
till " reason reeled overloaded from its path ;" and she
then, in the madness of mistaken notions, destroyed
herself with her own hands.
