A correspondent Of the New York Tribune,
uding to the inccssant complaints of the
difficulty Of procuring good servants, gives the
following hints to those who are afflicted in this
way:
First, then: Did you ever try to help your
self? II so, am sure you never found your
self chcerfully waite on, nor ever had your
work SO faithfully done by any one who served
you for wages.
hold it for good rule, if not carried to
extremes, that no man or woman should call
upon another to do that which he or she
just well do, and has ust much time TO
do, as any other person. What endless
source of fretting and scoldng, of cross looks
and cross words of squabbes in the kitchen,
and Of fault finding at the dinner table, of do
mestic strife in every department Of many
would the adoption Of this simple
rule remove
Ii you, my worthy Sir, had started for your
room q few minutes sooner the other
morning, instead Of stretching yourself before
the fire, with your newspaper and cigar. until
the last minute, you would have had time to go
round few squares, and choose for yourself

the flock which your servant bought for you that
day You would not then have had such
tedious time Of carving, wearing out your pa
tience until you came near cursIng aloud at
farmer, market imam, servant cook, and house
keeper. and that before your young children :;
besides splashing gravy on everything around.
And you, my good lady, when you had those
grand folks at dinner the last week. and had
been telling the ladies what beautiful new
fashioned pudding the cook had promised them,
would not have been Obliged to blush like
basket full of beets, when You found out too
late (for it had been sent to every. one at the
table that the sauce had been swcctened with
salt in place of loaf sugar. You need not
have blushed so, ! say, if YOU had spent an
hour in the kitchen in place of yawning over
stupid novel the whole forenoon, complaining
Of ennui, and half tired of your life for want of
sometime to do.
But wha, have to do with going to mar
ket 2" And what have 10 do with cooking
dinners :" you answer both in breath. 1t is
plain, from the little domestic incidents Just
lluded to, that YOU have great deal to do
with such matters. But where the trouble
is. You little above giving your person
al attention to such small matters. But, look
you, friend, that is simply ridiculous. Above
attending to your own interest. your own health
comfort and happiness Away with such alb
surdity.
Grant that these are small matters, vet they
make up human life. AS the ocean is formed
Of drops, and as the mountains but grains
of sand piled up IN masses, so do these small
and every day matters make up the sum total
of our existence. Grant, too, that you have
plenty Of money to hire others 10 do them ;
vet who will do another's work as we'll as his
own7 Few none; at least, not for hire.
How many pale cheek would glow with
health how many a constitution, enervated If
not ruined by ideness and dissipation, would
be re-invi vigorated. could these chains of ignoble
sloth and of contemplate, despicable pride be
broken from the limbs of the children of wealth
and ease Then. too, might the oppressed and
over-worked sons and daughters of toll find
little respite from their incessant labors; lit
tie time for social enjoyment and for self-im-
provement; and thus becoming conscious Of
the rights and the dignity Of human nature, be
the better qualified and fitted to act we'll their
part in whatever station they placed.
The Philadelphia Pennsylvania has the fol-
lowing broad hint:

gentleman who stands indebted on our books tor
