BARMAIDS HOURS.
| TO THE EDITOR OF THR EVBNINW POST. Sir— Do not you think that the time has arrived for some persons to borne forward to check the slavery that these girls undergo. To be in the bar from between S and 10 a.m. till 12 midnight is really a disgrace to their employers. No other domestic servant has anything like the number of hours to work ; and not satisfied with six days of from 14 to 16 hours per day, bnt they hayo to serve on Sundays, I* think mechanics, and every man who enjoys the early closing movement, should set their face against this system of " slow death 11 to those girls, and endeavour by every means in their power to do to others as they wish to be done by, and not patronise the houaje that employs females longer than ten hottH at most during week days, and who would not give them Sunday as God intended it, --, fora day of rest. I am &c, Live ajtd Let Live. 14th November,
