e primal Of employ with both parties,
Is feeling other causes may sometimes
but il is too often con
siered of and character The
in all cases, to consult the
welfare prosperity md best interests Of those by
whom he Is 10 prevent any loss to remedy
any evil and To Increase far as lies IN his power
The speIity and general interests of his
To this end al the Ultimate means that
lie within his reach should be exerted Forinfuence
is, after ability Che greatest cause for employment
and the eylplo eyer. Bi il he finds tie employee in
aerested w his king heartily hold Of them
ana pushing them See reason for continuing
y 20 serviceable and securing it
BY shonge inducements will therefore increase the
salary and final result, render his clerk a part
ner n the business he has thoroughly understood,
and 20 materially benefited.
And the second duty of the employee is one which
he owes to himself and society at large independent
of any business connections; but, which, neyertbe-
less, has much do business md may be con-
sdered part Of the contract. This is to preserve
for himself high and honorable reputation and to
conduct himself il all things fairly, igltly and
kindly Such hegets friendship and esteem,
and al other things being equal will do more to beget
trade than any thing else.
Another duty due by the employee is strict atten-
ton 70 his order and regular ha-
bits To some one that can be depended on is a
great slesare with every one We all wish to meet
such men and Ike to see them. Even something less
81 ahil OF influence will be allowed when tile man
7s a rock strong, steady, not to Be moved
ny petty ideration or, Rlleedled even
pY gFeaE ones. Rock men are at a premium and al
WAYS SGatl pc. They are the support Of society and
the weird yonng man is the true granite be
VIII pc priced ~ ne Is not more I,onderous than
pebble therefore, it duty Of the employee to be
what he seems to- he, and to- be in the discharge Of
big duties as 3stead Hast as adamant. }SF &
Ihese being the duties of the employ stock
ne ganst Ills salary and much more val
nabte than any goose grease, any pretty
locks OF iine come to enquire Of the duties
that due from him that is 80 fortunate as to secure
them for himself 33I IA.
And fiTst y one common to both parties, which is,
ciylty personal courtesy. The employer can com.
aiand il, and - pretty sure to receive it The en-
poyee9 deserves IT, if is worthy Of employment,
but may NOT be able to command it. IL Is tile duty Of
to be courteous and civil ii all cases to
bow " he bows to you, but courtesy Is the
FIRST and most duty Of an employer to one
who is some degree, upon him, and Is
more markedly one because its refusal cannot be re-
sented sss
The second is the imposition Of duties not beyond
The amount strength brought 10 meet them Poor
Richard says, willing horse should not be ridden
70 death and spoke therein like Yankee solon BY
requiring TOO much al may be lost and a little profit
thus by long series Of losses or rather
BY one loss continent Of numberless others
e The third thing due is sufficient means to work
with 20 may not Be lost by want Of an ab
ity and display yard stick if he is
70 measure hammer il to pound, and, we incline
20 the opinion good gold pen if he IS to write.
These, they do not enulnerate all things requisite
and proper trade between man and man, wherein
man Is the commodity exchanged, are the principal
arl most important them, and viii prove sufficient
tobotfl parties, duly attended to. There are minor
considert ons such as respectable personal appear
anee the employee, a large acquaintance, expert
encei business; but they are secondary and affect
Z the sze of the salary not the salary itself We sin
cefey hope that business men may be able to Sc
cure such Of qualities and assure those
who possess them that they can always find in New
Orleans plenty Of vacancies to fill.
