It is seldom that a person can win and yet lose, but it has happened before, at the tutalisator, for instance, 'as sporting men well know. There is one point in this case, however, which is worth considering. What is a soft-hearted master To do when a servant comes to him with a doleful tale of family troubles, and requests permission to leave at once? Is he to dis believe the story from top to bottom; or is be to take it on trust and hope for the best? If he pretends to believe the yarn, the pro. bability is that he will at length be impos. cd upon, and at the most inconvenient season. It may be a cruel doctrine, but the only solution seems to be that no faith should be put in vulgar tales of the kitchen, CROWN LABEL. for if there is any truth in them whatever the parties concerned will so frarae matters between themselves that there will be no disturbance of the general household. arrangements.
