No country 1ms a bettor reason to respect spoct tind exult women tlian Kngland , for Elizabeth and Victoria htivu boon her two most powerful rulors. Elizabeth was the dtiughtor of Ilonry Vlll. by his queen Anne Holoyn , for whom ho di vorced his lawful queen , Cuthcrino. Elizabeth , the ' 'Virgin Queen , " was a half sister to "Bloody Mury , " whom she succcoded in 1558. Dickens says of Elizabeth : "Her countenance was strongly marked , but , on the whole , commanding and dignified ; her hair was red , and her nose something too long and sharp for a woman's. She was not the beautiful creature her courtiers made out ; but she was well enough , nnd no doubt looked all the hotter for coining after the dark and gloomy Mary. She was well educated , but n round about writer , and rather a hard swearer and coarse talker. She was clover but cunning and deceitful , and inherited much of her father's violent temper. " But , considering the general character of rulers three centuries ago , Elizabeth was in the main a good queen , and during her reign of forty- four years Kngland made great ad- vanciTmont in material prosperity , liter ature and the firm establishment f the Protestant religion. Be sides many great travelers , states men and scholars , the Elizabethan reign produced Bacon , Spenser , and Shakespeare. Elizabeth died March 2-1.1G02 , in the 70th year of her agoaud the 45th of her roign. To Englishmen that was not so long ago , but to us it is a long time five years before the first feeble settlement at Jamestown. Eliz abeth was learned and clever , but deceitful , craft/ , and largely irrelig ious , and was a whimsical old maid without natural family affection. It could harc'ily.bo known one day what her mind would bo the next , if , indeed , her present intentions could bo divined ; and she thought hut little of boxing the cars of a minister that displeased her. She had more force of character than Victoria , but the force she had was not BO well balanced. But it is of VJCTOU1A that I dcsiro moro especially to write in this letter. Only two other English monarch have occupied the throne so long Hunry III , who reigned a little oyor 6t ( yours , and George III , who oc cupied that august position nearly 00 years. Aloxandrina Victoria was born in Kensington Palace , May 2-1 , 181 ! ) . She is the daughter of the duke of Kent by the Princoss-dowagor , of Loin in pen , a sister of Leopold Icing of Bolgium. The duke of Kent was the son of Gcoi-go III , hence Victoria is the grandchild of him from whom wo obtained our free dom in THK HKVOUmON' . Shortly after the birth of Victoia her parents went to reside at the pretty watering place of Sidmouth. The duke was a kind man , and loved his little ' Drlna , " and returning one day from n walk in which a storm had overtaken him , he sat down to play with the little princess a few moments , before chang ing his clothing , and contracted a cold from which he died. Thus , when but a few months old , Victoria was loft father less. Although she was a king's grand daughter , few people thought that the little princess would over bo the queen of England. She had two -uncles who wore older than her father , both of whom would heir the crown before him , and they would probably have children. Still the duke of Kent believed that his little daughter would one day sit upon her grandfather's throne. lie would hold her up in his arms and say to his friends : ' 'Look at her well ; she will.yet bo queen of England ! " Her mother had her well educated in view of the possi ble greatness that awaited her. As she grew older , and one after another died who come between her and the throne , the people of Knffland began to believe that the Princess Victoria would one day bo their queen , and parliament voted S'JT.OOO ( per annum to lit her for that high position. When she walked on the pier at Brighton , oren on the sands at Bamsgate , many would come to see her and look at her with admiring oy'cs. But she was wholly ignorant of the canso of their admiration , as her mother had widely kept the secret from her. Finally everybody between her anil the throne had died but her uncle , William IV. , and as ho was childless , it was certain that she would bo the queen. When she was twelve years old her mother thought it best that she should know all. So she placed in her English history book a genealogical table giving the line of descent from WILLIAM THE COXQUKIlOIl to her own name. When Victoria came in and saw this list she said to her gov erness : "What is thisi1 I never saw it before. " "It was not thought necessary that you should"replied the governess. When the princess road the list she said : "I see I am nearer the throne than I thought I was. I will bo good ; I know now why you want me so much to learn my lessonsand to take pains with my Latin. I learned it before because you wished it , but I understand all bet tor now ; I WILL 1115 GOOD. " It was the great aesiro of William IV. to live until Victoria became of age eighteen so that she could at once assume the reins of government , ana this dcsiro was granted. May 21 , 1SH7 , the princess was eighteen , and Juno 20 , at 2 o'clock in the morning-King Wil liam was gathered to his fath ers. Immediately three carriages setout out from Windsor to Kensington , con taining the archbishop of Canterbury , the carlo of Al'ionmrle ' , and Sir Ilenry Ilalford , the royal physician. They reached Kensington about 5 in the morning , their mission to inform Vic toria that she was queon. They knocked and thumped and rang a long time be fore they could arouse ttio porter at the jate ; they wore again kept waiting in Lho courtyard , and then turned into of the lower rooms , and seemed forgot ten by everybody. They again rang the boll and desired that the attendant of the Princess Victoria bo sent to in- 'orni her that they desired to see her on important business. The attendant returned and said the princess was in such a sweet sloop that she did not wish to disturb her. Then they said : "Wo come to the queen on business ot state , mil oven her sleep must give way to iliut. " So she was awakened , and in a 'ow ' minutes came down to thorn in a ooso , white , night-dress and shawlher night-cap thrown off , and her hair fall ing upon her shouldersher slockingless feet in slippers , with tears in her eyes , but calm and collected. As soDn as they had told their errand , the young queen turned to the archbishop and said : ' i nr.n YOUH OUACK TO IMIAY KOU MM. " Then they all knelt together in prayer. So'on after she called for paper and indicted a letter of condol ence to the widow of the late king , which she addressed "To the Queen ot England. " Upon seeing this , her maid said : "Your majesty , you are the queen of England. " "Yes , " she replied , "but the widowed queen is not to bo reminded of the fact first by mo. " No marvel that a young queen beginning her reign in such a spirit should become so great. Victoria reigned a year and four days before her coronation , but she was publicly p > 'o- clnimed queen on the next day after William IV. died , and from this time her reign is dated. The chief ruler of such a nation was in a responsible and perilous position , and none felt this more than the young queen herself. It was felt by her friends and counselors that she should have a good and wise husband to give her such support in her imperial duties as no mere minister of state could do. But who was the proper man for her to marry ? This was a question very difli- cult to answer. About this time the queen was subjected to the annoyances of many foolish men who wanted to marry her. Sometime such persons would stop her horse in Hyde park , and then and there pour out their devotions ; sometimes they would find their way into Windsor Castle itself and present a written proposal. But soon the queen's n flections wor.o won by a suitor of a very different sort. It had long been the de sire of her grandmother that she should bo wedded to her cousin , Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg. Albert and his brother Ernst had visited Victoria at Kensing ton when she was seventeen , and ho was the same age. The cousins wore then well pleased with each other , and Albert is said to have been in love with .the princess from that time ; but her love seems not to have boon so posi tive until the prince visited her when she was queen , and ho had grown into a all , handsome young man of twenty. Both the young people wore now thor oughly in love with each other , but how could they become on gaged ? Prince Albert was below the queen in station , and could not make love to her or aslc her to become his wife. It > vas clear thatSHE SHE MUST MAKK THK IMIOI'OSAL , which in our day might not bo so se vere a task for many a young lady , but the queen was modest and the ordeal was trying. But duty and love tri umphed , and one day when Albert and his brother returned from hunting , ho was told that , the queen desired to see him , and then the momentous words were spokenand the young people wore happily engaged. Writing that day to an old friend , Baron Stockmar , the queen says : "Albert has completely gained my heart , and all was settled between us this morning. I feel certain he will make mo very happy. I wish I could feel as certain of making him" happy , but I shall do my best. " The day of the wedding , February 10 1810 , the prince wrote to his grandmother , of Saxo-Coburg , who had long planned this marriage between her grandchild ren , and the following is TIIKLKTTKH. "Dear Grandmama : In less than three hours I will stand before the altar with my dear bride. In these solemn moments I must once more ask your blessing , which I am well assured I shall receive' , and which will bo my safeguard and my future joy. I mstu end. God be my stay ! Ever your faith ful grandson. , ' According to the newspapers of that titno the statures of the queen and the prince wore four Icet eight inches , nnd live feet eleven inches. " The queen is now five foot high and quite stout. Their marriage was ircncrally ac ceptable to the English people , and the young people were well provided in be ginning housekeeping. The prince's salary was lixed by parliament at $150.- 000 per annum , the queen's at 81,9 0,000 , and her "pin money" at $30,000. Enor mous as this may seam to us it was a re trenchment upon the past. The salary of the'Georges was $5,100,000 , and that of William IV. fc.oJU03 ! ! ) per annum. VIOTOKIA'S .MAKUIKD LI KB was a happy one. Albert was a kind husband and a wise statesman , helping the queen to bear the burden's of the empire. Nine children were born unto them Princess Alice , and Prince Leopold ( duke of Albany ) are dead. The living children are the ompress- dowager of Germany , prince of Wales , duke of Edin burgh , Princess Christian , Princess Louise , Prinoo Arthur ( duke of Con- naught ) , and Princess Beatrice. Thoqueen's pc'rmu'nont ' dwelling place is Windsor castle , her winter home is Osborno , in the Isle of Wright , and her S'linmer residence is Balmoral , in the highlands of Scotland. Besides those Buckingham palacp is her London homo. To sum up the queen's charac ter , she has always boon MEItGfPUL. Early in her reign a soldier was con demned to bo shot for desertion , and when his death warrant was presented to her to bo signed. sh'e said to the duke of Wellington : "Have you nothing to behalf of this ? " " say on man "Nothing : he has deserted thrdo times. " "Think again , your grace. " Seeing how earnest - nest the queen was , the duTco replied : "Ho is certainly a bad soldier , but there was somebody who spoke as to his good character , and ho may ba a good man for aught I Know. " "Oh , thank you , a thousand times , " exclaimed the qiibon , as with eager hand she wrote "Pardon" across the fatal page. Other incidents could bo given , but space forbids.- Yet she has A MIND OF HER OWN , is stern and unyielding in nor duty , and very dignified in her manner. She is the queen of a great realm , and not a mere figurehead , and even her own children must observe the formalities of her court. The prince of Wales must remain a subject of the queen while she livcs. While the queen does not 'directly either make or execute the laws , yet her spirit and character pervade everything , and her will is generally respected. Legally she can do no wrong and is subject tone no statutory law. The queen and the prince consort were very DOMESTIC IN TIIKUt HAUITS , and had much personal oversight in the training of their children. While they wore indulged in every real want , yet they wore justly and religiously brought up. As an example of how the children wore taught to regard the feelings and rights of others , it is said that two of the princesses when very young wont into a room in which a servant was polishing a grate. The girls insisted on helping her , but when they gained pos session of the brushesthey loft the grate and blacked the woman's face. When the queen discovered this she made the princess first go and beg the servant's pardon , and then go to a shop and , out of their pocket money , purchase her anew now dress. The princesses afterward said that they rather enjoyed making presents to the woman , but asking her pardon they certainly did not like. The queen was a devoted wife , and in the year 1801 was her llrst sorrow. ' Early in that year her motherdied , and and on Saturday , the Mth of December , the prince consort was called into the presence of the Prince of Ponce. "OUTKS ru.U'ciiu.v. " ( Good little wife ) ' , wore his last loving words to the queun as ho kissed her and then rested his head upon her shoulder. A little later the queen bent over him and said : "Es is kloins fr.-ut- chen. " ( it is little wife ) . The prince could not speak but bowed his head in rcspoii.se. Without apparent milTerliiGT ho sank to rest. Since that time Vic toria has never entirely thrown aside her mourning. For twenty-seven ycar.s she has been the "widowed queen , , " and is bound to her people by many common tics. But the crowning glory of Victoria's life is that she has always been A OOD-KEAIMNa POVEHEION. From a child she has been taught to fear God , and wo cnn but si > y happy happy are the people , and great is the ruler whose goi : is the Lord. But Victoria is by no means perfect , nor has she always boon universally beloved. From 1810 to 18-13 she lived in great splendor and extravagance while many of her subjects wore suffer ing from want. And this has been to si greater or less extent true over since she ascended the throne. All her war , too , nan scarcely be justifiable upon Christian principles , but just how far bho 1ms been responsible for thorn wo may not know. . The fifty-one years of her reign have boon replete with improvements and wonders. Indeed the world Iru about doubled its importance d ' 'ing that time. But of this we cannoi , . . , mlc now. In great men of every walk in life the reign has been prolific. Scotland Coleridge wore but live years gone when Victoria came to the throne ; Wordsworth , Southoy , Mncnulny , Herschel - schol , Faraday , Wellington , Pool and Darby lived deep into her reign ; .and Tennyson , Browning , Carlylo. Mill , Ruskin , DoQuinoy , Froudo , Gladstone , Disraeli , Dickens , Thackeray , Hood , Jorrold , George Elliot , Huxley , Darwin , Tyndnl , Spurgoon , Farnir , and others , properly belong to the Victorian reign. In other parts of Europe and in Co lumbia there are so many moro as good and groat. Your correspondent has scon Vic toria on two occasions. At sixty-nine she is a rosy-checked , contented and dignified , seems satisfied with her lot and aspires to no higher position , and looks as though she might reign another score of years.
