Lady Waldegrave.
How THE BEST OF WOMEN MADE FouR
HUSBANDS HAPPY.

Lady Waldegravc, whose death was
recently announced, affords QUO more
instance of the many so conspicuous of late
years Of tho ability of tho wonderful race
from which she sprang. The daughter of
Jowish orphan boy, whose first rccollcc-
tions wore selling pencils for livelihood
about tho streets Of London sho rose to bc
great loader of the politio social world of
very aristocratic nation by dint of the
exercise of qualities extraordinarily rare, for
social ability of a high order is really very
seldom to be met with. Forced early in
lifo into distasteful marriage, fret for
money y-for it was Mr.. Waldogravo and not
his legitimate brother, who had tho vast
fortune bequeathcd to hcr---and thon for
rank, she yielded the pressure, but con
ductod herself admirably, aud so perfect
wife did sho make Mr.. lIarcourt, her third
husband, that in his will he expressly states
that he hoped sho would soon marry again
and mako somo other man as happy as she
had madc him. A remarkable circumstance
about her was thut she was on equally
happy terms with tho relations of all her
husbands None were forgotten. TO each
sl1o was careful to pay every proper attcn-
ton. Tho llarcourts, Us proud raco as
thero is in England, could not say too much
for "Old Braham's daughter" as she
laughingly used to say shc know that she
was calied. But her fourth marriage was,
reversing tho ordinary course, her love
match, Chichester Fortcscuc-t tho name
by which Lord Darlington vas best known

at Oxford, a man of fashion, handsome and
agreeable, sue enjoyed with him married

The Grumbler.

One of tho quecrcst characters in society
is the grumbler. lie seems to have hcen
born upon the wrong side Of life, and he
has never gotten over from it, lie fDds
faults with everybody and everything The
weather is, for him, too hot or too cold; tou
dry, or too rainy. Tho grass is not tho
exact shade Of green ho ndmircs; and as for
blue skies, he cannot understand how any
body can sec any beauty in them. How
much they would bo improved by little
whitewash When ho goes to church,
although he may not himself hayo an ounce
Of brains, lic carries with him balauce, of
his own making, with which hc weighs tho
proaol,or's sermon. Fit happens to suit
his taste, llo spreads his oulogics over it
with trowcl. If it docs not suit his fancy
-and especially if lie finds it pleased some
body olse--ho barks and growls aud snaps
it, like dog at a porcupino. In tho
morning, tho minister preached sermon
which was logical IL its arrangement of
thought, wcighty in its contents and clabo-
10 its finish. A friend, as lie leaves
tho church, says to him: "Ilow did you
like that? Was it not cxccllcntY' HLkc
it! Excellent! What was there that was
excellent about it? Who could like such
preaching? Why havc not ministers gotten
common sense? If my feelings had not
been SO tortured, [ should have gone to
scop. Why could he not givo us some.

In the evening, ho goes to church again.
This timo tho sermon is of tho practical
kind 1t is full of illustrations. Ills

"My dear, | am 10 glad / came to church

Coon SidNs, ALL AROUND There ia
certainly evory indication that tho country
is entering upon an ora Of solid prosperity.
With tho close of the fiscal year many in.
tercsting national statistics arc furnished,
and all 20 to show tho truth of this state
mcnt. Tho postal receipts, one of tho
surcst signs, for tho first quarter of 1879
were nearly sS,000,0O0, almost US much as
tho total receipts for 1850, and tho csti-
mated receipts for the year, S32, 900 900,
will be nearly double tho receipts for 1867,
and far in excess of the receipts of any
succeeding year. Tho increase in tho for
cign trade over tho fiscal year Of 1877-TS,
was nearly s25,000,O00, two thirds Of
which was exports, tho latter exceeding The
imports by S265, 100000. 70 fully under
stand the change that has takon placo in
our foreign trade during the past docodc,
however, it is necessary to 60 back Of these
two years. Comparing the trade of the
years 1870-73 with that of S76-79, ye
find that an excess Of imports amounting to
S423,0OO,OO0 in tho former has been
changed into an cxccss of exports amounting
to S753,000,0OO in tho latter, tho exports
having moro than doubled 10 value, wblo
tho imports have decreased less than a
fourth, and the total trado has increased
from 4,027000,00O to s4,343, 900, 900.
Tho oxccss Of imports of bullion for The
first period was $23S, 100000, while for
the second period it was only .sG5, 900, 900,
aud for the last two years of tho second
period thcro was an cxocss of exports of
coin and bullion amounting to about
S8,60O,O0O., Internal revenue receipts,
too, notwithstanding tho decreased tax on
tobacco, ofesgfcater than tho preceding
year, and, from whatcycr point Of Wow
taken, the prospects arc most encouraging.
