Bad effects of the abolition of slavery in Providence, R.I.

_From the Providence Gazette._

Messrs. Printers,

You will oblige a number of your customers, by publishing the
following advertisement in the next Gazette.

_Five Hundred Dollars Reward._

Was mislaid, or taken away by mistake (soon after the
formation of the Abolition Society) from the Servant Girls of
this town, all inclination to do any kind of work;--and left
in lieu thereof, an impudent appearance, a strong and
continued thirst for high wages, a gossiping disposition for
all sorts of amusement, a leering and hankering after persons
of the other sex, a desire of finery and fashion, a never
ceasing trot after new places more advantageous for
stealing--with number of contingent accomplishments that do
not suit the wearers. Now if any person or persons will
restore to the owners that degree of Honesty and Industry,
which has been for some time missing, he or they shall receive
the reward of Five Hundred Dollars, beside the warmest
blessings of many abused and insulted

HOUSEHOLDERS.
