RIridiry OF EnrIi.h ECONOMY.

Bankruptcy among American merchants
is often occssioned by the enormous expenses
entailed annually by the splendid stores of
granite and marble which are thought al
most indispensable to eminent success. Our
English brethren have more prudent notions.
Here isa striking description, from Household
Words, of great establishment in London:
Along a narrow passage up dark stair,
through crazy door, into room not very
light, nor very large, not in the least splen-
did, with queer corners and quaint carvings
and massive chimney-pieces; with tall cup
boards, prirpl doors, and squat corners, with
deep, dumpy drawers; with desks behind
thin rails with aisles between thick towers
of papered-up packages, out of whose ends
fash all the cOlors Of the rainbow; where all
is quiet as Il playhouse at daybreak or
church at midnight; where, in truth, there is
nobody to make noise, except one we'll
dressed man, one attendant porter, and one
remarkably fine male cat, admiring before
the fire the ends of his silky paws; where the
that is more startling than noise; where
there is less hustle than at Quakers' meet
ing, and less business going on than in a
government Office The painfully-neat man
threads the mazes of the piles, and desks and
cupboards, and counters to greet us, and to
assure us, in reply to our apology, that we
have not made any mistake whatever, and
that we are in the silk warehouse we were
seeking-a warehouse in which we have
| previously been informed, by one whose
| word we never before doubted, that there is
turned over an annual average of flO0, 600
of good and lawful money of Great Britain.

Marked succese Of Csngreve the Dramatist.
The licentious comedies and other dramatic
writings of William Congreve, says con,
tributor TO the Boston Post, were so well
appreciated by the public Of his day that this
authors life presents brilliant example OF
prosperous literary career. His play The
Old Bachelor, produced in 1893, when Con-
greve was only twenty-one years OF age, took
by storm the habitues OF, the theater, and
gained for the writer, from Lord Halifax,
appointments of public character, whose
enoluments amounted TO f600 per annum.
Thus favorably situated for the unfettered
cultivation of his tastes and talents, Congreve
produced, successfully, n number of plays,
which, in l7l0, were collected, and, with his
miscellaneous poems formed work of three
volumes. On the accession Of George |, the
poet was made Secretary for the Island Of
Jamaica, by which Office his income was in
creased TO 8l 200 per annum. II was then
that Congreve essayed, affectedly, 10 despise
the ladder by whose assistance he had as
cended to such giddy hight Of prosperity,
and, being visited by Voltaire, he remarked
that he would rather be considered gentle
man than poet. 'If you had been merely
gentleman" said the worthy Frenchman,
| should not have come TO visit you"
No author, of English fame, seems to have
been so successful in securing the favor and
pTtlse VI MS 90 OOhkItNCs
Dryden exalted him to place upon the same
pedestal with Shakespeare, in these lines:
''Heaven, that but once was prodigal before,
To shakspeare gave as much, but could not give
him more
The same Dryden deemed it an honor
when Congreve This junior by thirty-fye
years. reviewed his translation of Virgils
.Eneid, and compared it with the original;
nor was the translator ashamed to acknowl-
edge that he was indebted TO Congreye for
many suggestions and corrections as the re-
vsaI proceeded Pope thought it no conde-
scension to dedicate to the licentious play
writer the translation of Homer's lied or to
join in applauding this champion Of vice and
immortality. Voltaire also volunteered his
opinion that Congreve had raised the glory
of comedy to a greater hight than any En-
glish writer before or since his time. This
author Of smutty plays, after life of opu-
lence and popularity left fortune of more
than Flo, 600 to the Duchess of Marlborough,
(the daughter of the great Dukel at whose
table he daily sat, and whose household
management, he, to some extent, superin-
tended.

\ A New FEATURE-EvERY MAN HIS OWN
