ON BECOMING BEHAVIOR TO INFE-
pInDG

In speaking of inns, and tavcrns we can
not avoid noticing the treatment TO which
those oil the female sex who are employed in
places OF that sort are often exposed. Their
situation is, indeed, particularly unfortunate.
II a girl in an inn happen to be handsome,
and a parcel of young, thoughtless fellows
cast their eyes upon her, she is Immediately
made the subject of taunt and merriment;
coarse and indecent jokes are often uttered in
her hearing, and conversation shocking to
modest ears is frequently addressed to her
The poor girl all the while is at a loss how to
behave; II she venture on a spirited answer,
the probable consequence will be 10 raise the
mirth of the iacetious company, and to ex-
pose her toa repetition of insults. IL, guild
ed by the feelings OF modesty, she avoid the
presence of the impairment guests, she is com-
planned OF for neglecting her duty, she loses
the little perquisites which otherwise she
would be entitled TO, perhaps disobliges her
mistress, and loses her place. Whoever at
tends but a moment to the case Of a poor girl
so situated, if he be not lost to all sense oi
virtue, must feel his heart releut at the cruel
ty OF taking advantage of such a situation
But the misfortune is, that we seldom attend
TO such cases at all. We sometimes think OF
the fatigues. and sufferings incident to the bod.
les OF our interiors, but we scarcely ever make
allowance for any sense ofpain to their minds.
