Depend upon it, there is not a more certain sign of a cowardly spirit than to have the edge of one’s activity soon blunted by opposition: on the other hand, there is no disputing the fortitude of him who boldly contends with obstacles, and pursues his object till he has attained it. To men of such temper few things are impossible. It was an ingenious device that a man made use of, by way of sign:—A pair of compasses, with this motto, _By constancy and labour_; one foot being _fixed_ and the other in _motion_.—Make this _your motto_, and you will be very little in the power of chance or fortune. What we have already said, may be considered as addressed chiefly to _men_ servants; we have therefore to add a few admonitory precepts, particularly appropriated to our _female_ readers. One of the most advantageous qualifications in all servants, and particularly in females, is that of preserving a _good temper_, and endeavouring, to the utmost of their abilities, to give satisfaction. Possessed of a strong desire to please, you will seldom fail of doing so. Persons of a good disposition will be charmed with your readiness, and those of a bad one, will be disarmed of a great part of their harshness; and though you may, in some instances, be deficient in the due performance of your business, if it be apparent that your fault proceeds not from disobedience, indolence, or obstinacy, great allowance will be made, and you will rather be _instructed as to the future_ than _blamed_ for the past. If you are fearful of offending you will scarcely ever offend. In short, _humility_ is a commendable virtue, and, combined with good temper, is the most valuable of female qualifications, and will, infallibly, conduct its possessors with ease and tranquillity through life.
