Behind the Counter : Handel Und Wandel (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Behind the Counter: Handel Und Wandel

Intelligencer, It would be a part of the duties of the youth whom I should take into my service to deliver, twice a week, this paper at the houses of such as take it in regularly.

A third, who seemed somewhat prepossessed in my favour, inquired if I could be trusted to go out with children, as in the large family of the writer, it was necessary that the apprentice in his leisure hours, and after eight o'clock, should be so employed; that he ought to be fond of children and have a pleasure in their society, as he would have the elder children to care for and to amuse in all kinds of rational ways.

A fourth, who wrote in a sanctified style, inquired whether the proposed youth were of an unquestionably christian character. To him my grandmother would have replied satisfactorily, had not he demanded an unusually large sum for board and lodging.
