Arthur always looked upon me in the light Of
a sister, and made me his confidant in many of
his private affairs. But he had no secret
worth the telling until he accidentally met a
certain Miss Florence Maynard; and when he

he had lost his heart to that young lady, and

Emigration from Europe seems to have
set in again pretty largely for the Atlantic
States. In the month of August, 9,495
persons lett Liverpool as emigrants. This
is the greatest number in any month dur
ing the present year, except Id the month
of May, when $3.50 sailed. Nearly the
whole of last months emigrants were for
the United States, and more than half OF
the whole number were English. For
merly, for every one English, there were
nineteen Irish emigrants. This is partly
attributable to the gradual advance OF
wages, the increased demand for laborers.
and the improved condition Of small
farmers under the Landlord. and Tenant

The Women Clerks at washington.

A Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial writes as follows
in regard to the women clerks at the de-
partments: Copying and figuring is the
work mostly done by the women. In the
Department Of the Interior five hundred
girls and women are employed. Their
wages range from $50 month to $1,4OO
a year. Few get the latter price. One
young lady, Miss Cook, stenographer
in the Indian Office, gets 81, 900 year,
the highest price paid to woman official
in Washington.
But, lest all tine bright young ladv
shorthand writer's who read this should
at once start of, in body, to get $l,6U0
a year, it may be as we'll to state that
there are only places for about six steno-
graphers in the who.e Interior Depart
ment. These six places are filled, and
the occupants are healthy. They do not
intend to marry. They are afraid every
man wouldn't be worth $1,000 year to
them.
Women clerks are more troublesome to
manage than men. This is the verdict
in most Of the departments. They are
more regular and faithful in their duties
than men; at the same time they are
more quarrelsome among one another.
A standing cause Of war among them,
ridiculous enough, is the opening and
shutting Of windows This one wants
ventilation, while the next one to her is
dead sure to be afraid of a draught.
This one slaps the window up, and that
one runs after her and slams it down; and
so the game goes on, slap, slam, while
the ladies' eyes dart fire, and their little
Threats choke up too full for speech. This
catfish QUAR- cling went so far in the Post
Office department. that at last the United
States authorities had to interfere, and
make the rule that windows should not
be raised till a certain time Of day, so
that the windows of the United States
General Post Office are now ooened and
shut according to government orders
Many unjust stories have been circu-
lated in the newspapers about the wom-
en- clerks at Washington, by correspond
ents who were not half or quarter as good
as they. The simple fact is that the
great majority of them are modest, faith
full, hard working women. They are
quite as good and intelligent as the same
number Of women anywhere else in the
world. Most of them have families or
relatives to support. The stories that
have been told about them are not only
lies, but under the circumstances, they
are extremely cruel. Attic same time,
the conduct of a few incompetent women,
who get their places through political IA
voritism, really has been snch as to give
color to the newspaper stories. They do
their work indiferently, or not at all,
come together and gossip by the hour in
the dressing rooms, squabble and raise
petty rows in the departments until it is
even wished that they were dead. such
women are kept in their places because
they have masculine relations at home
that can vote, and the men who keep
them there are honorable senators and
representatives who declare that civil ser
vice reform is humDug.

And nearer every day the sunrise glowed,
And filled his heart with fire,
Still drawing him swiftly onward, till it showed
The land of his desire.
He touched the shore, and knelt with tears at
length
To kiss the sacred strand,
Then rose to seek, clad in solemn strength,
The city Of the land.
Across the low pale hills he took his way,
BY dreary tower and tomb,
Across the plains of Sharon, where to-day
The roseforgets to bloom; ~
Till, at the lightning of the evening fires
He saw the promised home of his desires
In royal beauty lie. .-..

Pierced by the fatal dart,

With never sigh nor moan,
But with exulting face of one who died

This infinite answer to a lifelong prayer
