A Word to Offices Seekers.

To all young mon who contemplate a
Journey TO Washington for the purpose OF
securing employment, the beet advice is,
don't. The humblest situation In mer-
camille house, where the pecuniary reward
is small, where the hours are long and
where the labor is hard, is better in the
end than government clerkship. One
way lie opportunities for advancement,
for the utilization and the hnal reward
OF every talent ahd all the energy that the
young man possesses. The other way lie
hopelessness, drudgery, stagnation.
