WORKMEN. 



THE YEARLY SERVANTS of this 

 Diflridt are noticeable for the highnefs of 

 their wages, and the lownefs of their living, 

 and for the length of their working hours. 



The WAGES of an able man-fervant, twelve 

 to fifteen pounds a-year. During the late 

 war, fifteen to eighteen pounds were given ! 



But the fimplicity of their diet more than 

 compenfates for the extraordinary height of 

 their wages. Milk Hill remains here a food 

 of farmers fervants. In fome places, animal 

 food three times a day is expedted; here, once 

 a day (except perhaps in haytime and har- 

 veft) is confidered as fufficient. 



In MALT-LIQUOR tck), the farm-fctvants of 

 this country are equally moderate. 



Neverthelefs, if one may judge from their 

 appearance, and from the quantity of labour 

 they difpatch, their mode of living is con-* 

 ducive to health.
