Dor for him to work off; and rather
than do that, / have many times cast
up nag accounts, and MYO1rs ap the
contract; and | want you to under
stand, that if We are your servants, We
are not your slaves-or, at least, We
ought not to be-and as we are fell
| iow-seryants, We do not wish to be so
mean as to shirk our part OF the la
bor--to put it On the shoulders of the
next beneath us--and it is yoar fault
| that the teeth do it, and they are not
to blame.
Yo~ hou' ut time! Shame on
you Have you time to live time to
suffer all the pains we necessarily in
fict upon youl You find time to loll
about time to pick your teeth; time
to smoke cigars or chew tobacco; in
short, you find time to do nothing
yet everything you should MT.
Then, again, DO you suppose I can
make good blood out of anythingl or
everything 7 or nothing! You do Mt
Suppose 1t 7 One would think that
you did suppose it, by the vast varie-
ties of odds and ends you give ne,

want to be reasonable kind Of stom-
aoh. and good servant, and it may
be possible that if you are willing to
| do what is right by nee, I may do my
best TO serve you; do not want to
be all the while grumbling, and giving
you headaches, cholic, dyspepsia, and
in short, nearly every diease to which

Peaceable Ike with you as well as my
neighbors."
| The Stomach throws out" a few
suggestions &s to how it thinks it
ought to be treated, some of which
certainly seem very reasonable and
proper:
CAS- soon as you are out Of bed give
me glass Of good water.
"In about half-an-hour after that
| suppose youW want your breakfast,
aud I some work to do, as I Go Mt be-
lieye in working on an empty stomach
any more than you DO, when l AM
we'll. You sit down then to breakfast
and give me something tender and nu-
trious as meat, and something light
and wholesome as bread; and | sup
pose you would like cup of coffee,
but do 1T seed anything CT the sort.
Be sure to be very moderate. Dc
not, as head Of the firm, keep import
ing cargo, because there happens to
be plenty, nor keep stoaiag it down as
though the warehouse was made Of
| Indi&-rutber; because, il you do, |
have 10 alternative but to put it in
semo place that does Mt belong to
me, or unship it by the way it came
neither of which is very pleasant eth
er to yourself or me.
cat dinner, also, be very moderate.
Soup, if good, is not amiss, as | pre-
fer this to cold water, for the reason
that cold of any kind lowers my tenn
perature, so that | cannot work vii

Then, after soup, take something
that can do something with. Dent
load me with all sorts of mcsses and
mixtures, from all parts of the world,
merely because you would appear OF

visit to you. [ au1, in such . case,
