[To the Editor of the SpEcTATon.] SIR, Will you condesend
to read this letter. I am a house-parlour maid with 35 years' experience, age 50, I say, that this Servant Question, casts a very bad reflection on modern mistresses and teachers, they keep talking about Education, while they expose their ignorence of a subject that they all ought to understand well. We old servants had little schooling but we met the scholars, and I think thats as good, and can tell the school-masters wife more things than the Dr. told her mother, we deal not only with bed and wi„A dows, but indeviduals, and as for figuars, I'm as .Straight as a poplar, and having a better time than ever, for these are the palmy days of the domestic. And what are the Educated Classes doing, fie, we wont mention it, while they lament our ignorence, we are laughing about Educated Domestics we managed to earn our living without that nonsence. But we like good reading Sir, and these letters of mistresses are spoiling your good journal, they dont interest us we would rather go to the pictures than read them.—Yours respectfully,
