following advertisement, which
appeared in an early number of
an English provincial journal

a sober family, a man of light
weight, who fears the Lord and
can drive a pair of horses. He
must occasionally wait at .tabl
join the household prayjr, look
after the horses and read a chap

mistress in all lawful com
mands ;if he can dress hair,
ing psalms and play at cribbage,
the more agreaable. Wages, 5
guineas a year.”
