Beautiful Incident.

William w. expired about midnight, II
we remember rightly, at Windsor Palace.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, with other
peers and high functionarIes OF the kingdom,
were in attendance. AS soon as the "scep-
tre had departed" with the last breath of the
King, the Archbishop quilted Windsor Cas-
tie, and made his way, with all possible speed
to Kensington Palace, the residence at that
time of the Princess (slready, by the law Of
accession, Queen,) Victoria. He arrived
long before daylight, announced himself and
requested an interview with the Princess
She hastily attired herself, and met the ven-
erable prelate in her room. He informed
her OF the demise of William, and formally
announced to her that she was, in law and
right, successor to the deceased monarch.-
The sovereignty of the most powerful ma
ton of the earth lay at the feet Of girl Of
eighteen. She was, de jure, the queen Of the
only realm in fact or history, "on which sun
never SETS"
She was deeply agitated at the formidable
words, so fraught with blessing or calamity.
The first words she was able 10 utter were
these 81 ask your prayers in my behalf"
They kneeled together, and Victoria inaugu-
rated her reign like the young king of Israel,
in oldon time, by asking the Most High who
ruleth the kingdoms of men, "an understand
ing heart to judge so great a people who
could not be numbered nor counted for mul.
titude."
The sequel Of her reign has been worthy
OF such beginning. Every throne in Eu-
rope has tottored since that day. Most Of
them have for time been overturned. That
Of England was never so firmly seated in the
loyalty and love of the people as at this
hour. Queen Victoria enjoys personal tn

comparably wider and greater than that OF
any monarch now reigning. She is loved
at home and admired abroad.

The man who travels with his wife's sis.

the man who travels with his wife. But he
is much more talkative, and takes more
