Secs, Hear* aad TlUaka.
i: Tlie # Wellington correspondent of a North-
em periodical, sketching the society of thai
city, writes as follows of the female clerk* in
the Government Department, who number
over one thohiand:
Heft wlttr a host of others comes a yovng^irf, a
Treasury clerk, bbe wean * jeunty list, with brichi.
ribbon streamers, a natty jacket, and a gay frock. Sue
TecQiyes sixty dollars per month wages, pays forty
(dollars per moath for her board, not including h»ei>
.dexnal expenses; therefore,H is perfectly safe ko saf
that, beyond these showy outside garments her ward
robe cannot bear investigation. This coftlly onteide
gear war pttrehhaed at the expense of mnwy neeeabary
(domforts. And yet, what to her mind is more
eary than that ahe should “look as well as anybody"
on the gay throtghfeceof V street? ^
The hue and expression of her face is less satisfae-
tory tHaji her cbetauie. It wears the melansl bat
which aedeidayy habu always brings in this Uti
whilo the heavy eyes and the dark rings under
tell of gk^nght and late hoars. It is a yotrng fh
wkuWi tbbbloeeoin of youth is touched already with
the shadow of age. No wonder. Her livelihood is
uncertain, her life anxious. There is so little perma
nency to her sitaation that she is in constant fear of
being summoned to the chief of her department, and
told that she i* one of a number dismissed. Then
would come another siege upon the member from her
discfibt fdr another place, another waiting, another
season of running in debt, and afloat, perhaps, disap
pointment. She knows nothing here of the comforts
■ home. Mere -business boarding boose keepers
unfriendly to female clerks. Thair foremost of
fense is that they are unprofitable, and are too poor to
pay the most exhorbitant prices. Another aggravat
ing fault is, they are often very pretty; they attrset
gentlemen, perhaps to tho neglect of the Unready or
her daughters; they bum gas late, or they stay oat
late; are deemed universally troublesome, and not to
be desired. ..
Tjuyi the department girl wanders about from
lardimg-honae to boarding-house, from discomfort to
scodxfort, often from bad to worse, till she comes to
to conclusion, at last, that all we women, at least, are
combiiUKUipunai her as foes. Thus she is left to seek
society solely from men. It is a long step toward ruin
when a woman believes that she has no friend, tried,
trusted, aud true, among women; when she turns to
men only for sympathy and support. This girl, ex
posed to the promiscuous intercourse of boarding
house parlors, often finds admirers, friends and lovers
among strangers aad adventurers; among men of du
bious antecedents, perhaps among men notorious for
vice. If she im held halbk from contamination by a
pure temperament, by strong principle, by hallowed
association well. Bat if, without either, she can turn
to no mother, to no sister, to no strong, loving woman-
friend, a creature of uugoverued instincts, aud irreso-
kiie-wtM, dolling on with the tainted tide of circum
stance, alas! May the Lord h^ve mercy on her, for
the worldly and the wicked wl\l not.
She might have qfctid *t home, and made bonnets
or drosses, ttl^e ought have tended a store, or have
colored photographs, or have become a designer, or a
teacher ;'<nr been a sunny housemaid in aome rural
home, where every member of the household is help-
and honors labor. Better any of these • employ*-
inents, near home and friends, than the dangers of
this capital, Bnt all these would be work; and it is
uot work, you know, but very lady-like, to out bank
notes, or %b have a aituatioh in a department. I for
bear- adfUug another homily on the dignity aud beauty
of labor, 1 doubt if auy of ns work much more than
we are obliged to. And, while manual toil is associ
ated, as it is, almost solely with foreign ignorance
and slavish poverty, it is not easy to crown it with the
ideal grass ®! Ufa. Yet wn might exalt it thus, if We
only would. If each one of n* would say, U> Urn
labor of my hands I will w&d the gentlest affections of
mr heart ; I will rfflne ami elevate my common toi!
with Ahe finest (udfcure of my brain ; tho thing neces
sary to be done, that 1 will do patiently and cheerfully,
ighyjing no. honest work that will bring independence,
competence, and self-respect, self-help, and help for
others—then we ooqld aU look into each other's eyes
as peers, and, without waiting longer for the Lord,
commence a millHiiium on our own responsibility.
The department Ilfs in Washington forma one of its
moat distinctive phases. It offers a field of illustration
to DTck'enfe richer than the Court of Chancery or the
lanes of London. In the vaults of the Capitol, in the
remote closets of the vast Treasury, from the cob-
webbed holes of the State aud War Departu&ents, from
tho marble tombs of the Postoffies, you can uneartn
men who have grown old, and feeble, and gray, doing
the machine work and tontine service of a generation.
Often poverty imd p*ti\os cling to their garments and
look through the gray hopelessness of their facet*. For
it is proverbial that a man who spends his days in the
departments of Washington always ends them poor,
and leaves his famUy unprovided for. If a change of
administration throws turn from his situation, be is
the most abject and hopeless of mortals; for it is im
possible fur Xhs routine mau or the machine man to
strike out for himself and succeed in any independent
enterprise. Yet the departments are full of talent.
Men possessing education and every gift but the indis
pensable one of getting on in the world, and making
life a Huccese, take refuge here from a responsibility
and uncertainty, and spend their whole existence as
copyists for the Government A situation in a depart-
meat is the ultima ttutfn, too, of the young man who
aspires to be a g^nuenum of very small capital.
Here, to?y from her country home comes the unpro
tected girt, sueing “her member" for a place in the
Treasury, all unwitting that ahe is walking into the
clutches of temptation, if not of vice. God may keep
her—he does mauy; ahe may walk through the fire
unscathed, and ahe may perish, spiritually, oodily, as
many do, who might be pure, peaceful, and prosper
ous, if they had stayed at home. There are aad stories
I could tell you, ‘'Independent," of the woman-olerk
life in Washington; but I don't want to. I only want
to say to tho young man, and especially to the young
woman, straggling for a situation in these depart
ments as the moat desirable thing to be obtained,
stay at home; be content to live humbly, to work
patiently, Independence and competence will come
at last; neither will ever come to you here. To dis
abled soldiers, to elderly and experienced women, to
young inou who use it as a passing help to a definite
object in life, to disappointed men who have no other
hope and no other refuge, a department situation may
be a blesHiug. But to the young man and the young
woiuau, with no defined plan or purpose of being,
drifting into the tainted atmosphere of boarding-house
liie, into the polluting influence of boarding-house Hfe,
nitii the polluting infiqenoe of men grown gray in oor-
rupuon, it is the veriest curse. fa

The Anglo American Times, published in
London, lias an article upon the Memphis
riots, which closes with the following re
marks; .
Andrew Johnson has a gigantic task before
him. Few of us can appreciate the enor
mous difficulties with which he has to con
tend. . Few of us can folly understand the
meat*, by which he hopes to perform the
solemn promise he there made. His meas
ures may not appear to us directly to lead to
such an object, and we must not forget that
the children,of Israel passed to their Prom
ised Land through forty years of suffering In
the Desert, and that their leader was only
permitted to get a glimpse of the country
which Providence had marked out for his
followers. There are those who believe that
the President’s heart has failed him in the
task; that he has fallen off from the stern re
solve required for the weary struggle. But
we de not believe this. We believe Andrew
Johnson to be a patriot—with his heart fixed
on the grand object of Reconstructing the
Union, of giving to the South the law, peace,
order, and equal rights of the North- I* m
nniault of his if slavery has so degraded a
large section of the citaena he rules, that
