Letter.
There Is larger force of clerks at the White
House, under President Hayes, than ever be-
fore. There is the private secretary, Mr..
Rogers, aud his assistant, Mr.. Pinden. Mr..
Webb Hayes is confidential secretary, aud Col.
Corbin is military secretary. The latter has
general charge of the mail, and receives and
opers all letters and newspapers. Maj. Snliin,
who was appointed paymGster by Grant, re-
mains at the White House, aud there are three
other clerks and two s.cnographers. This
makes personal staT OF nearly dozen per-
sons, where .here have been less than half the
number heretofore. People who have occasion
to write TO the President will DO pleased 10
hear that il is the desire Of Mr. Hayes to send
an answer to every letter be receives, 10 mat
ter what its purport. There is q large amount
Of mail matter received at the White House
every day which docs not properly relate 70
the public business. A thousand people write
10 the President about Their own private con-
Germs and wonder that they do not get an an
swer. if no answer comes. Heretofore all such
letters have been thrown into the waste bas-
kct. But President Hayes directs that re-
spcctfnl reply be sent TO every letter, however
irrelevant This requires a good deal Of clcr
cal work. Then President Hayes wants tho
newspapers carefully read, and his secretaries
have begun series Of scrnp.Joohs, FOR pre-
serving such newspaper publications as are Of
interest at the White House. Que or two
clerks are kept employed at this business a.
lone. Tho new administration takes q great
many papers, and seems to aim to keep well
informed concerning the feeling Of tho coun-
try Vdshing,On Letter.

Mistake often Made.

Boys and young women often start DOT in
life with the idea that ones success depends
on sharpness and cbicanefy. They imagine
If man IS able always 10 ges tie best Of
bargain. no matter by what deceit and mean
ness be carries hispoint, that his prosperity is
assured. This is great mistake. Enduring
prosperity cannot be founded on cunning and
dishonesty. The tricky aud deceitfu man is
sure TO fall victim, soon OF late to tie ia
fuences which are forever working against
him. His house IS built upon the sand, aud
its foundation viii be certain 10 give way. -
Young people cannot give tic truth too much
weight. The future Of that young man is safe
who eschews every phase Of double dealing
and dishonesty, and lays the foundation Of bis
career iu the enduring principles Of eyerlast-
iDg truth.
