counted for in no other way. Most Of
the stock was saved, but none of the

A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT. William IV
expired about midnight, at Windsor
Palace The archbishop Of Canterbury,
with others peers, a d high functiona-
ries OF the klngdoni, was IN attendance.
As soon as the 'sceptre had departed
with the last breath of the king, the
archbishop quilted Windsor Castle and
made has way with all possible speed
to kensington Palace, the residence at
that time Of the princess Already by
the law Of succession Queen Victoria.
He arrived long before daylight, an
nounced himself, and requested an I'M
mediate interview with the princess.
She hastily attired herself, and met her
venerable prelate in her ante-room.
He informed her of the death Of VIII
ham, and formally announced to her
that she was in law and right, successor
to the deceased monarch. "The soyer-
eighty Of the most powerful nation at
the feet of girl Of eighteen" She WIS
de Jure Queen of the only realm, IN fact
or history, on which the sun never sets.
She was deeply agitated at the formid-
able words, 50 fraught with blessing or
calamity: the first words she was able
to utter were these; Il ask your pray
ers in my behalf
They kneeled together, and Victoria
inaugmated or reign, like the young
king os lsreal in olden time, by asking
from the Highest who ruleth in the
kingdoms Of men, an understanding
heart to Judge 50 great a people who
could not be counted for multitude"
The sequel Of her reign has been
worthy Of such beginning Ever
throne in Europe has tottered since that
day. Most OF them have been for
time overturned. That OF England was
never 50 firmly seated in the loyalty and
love Of the people as at thus hour
Queen Victoria enjoys personal iuhu-
ence, too, the heartfelt homage paid
her as -incomparably wider
and greater than that Of any monarch

ports to the V,sitor that the amount was

In consideration Of the fact that fre-

endangering life and property, the fol-
lowing simple method Of testing the
pure (non-explosiye) from the impure
or mixed (explosiye) article, may be Of
benefit to people who are obliged to
use coal oil instead Of gas. A gentle
man connected with one Of the princi-
pal railways informs us that the oil
used for tho headlight" or reflection Of
an engine, is mixture Of pure, refined
coal oil and lard. In order to prevent
explosions, i is highly necessary to use
the pure article of coal oil. To ascer-
tain whether the latter is pure, guam
tity is poured out upon board or fat
piece Of stone or iron, a piece Of burn
ing paper is then applied tait. If the
oil takes fire, and burns, creating
flame, It is pronounced an adulteration
and unfit for use. On the other hand,
pure oil viii not burn ID the open air,
when thus tested, and its safety may
be relied upon. In tins manner large

STAMPING A DEED. Blinker a farmer
of means who does not take the paper,
nor read the laws, but who thinks his
wisdom boundless, sold Il pasture for
three hundred dollars. The purchaser
having counted out the money looked
at the deed and said.--
Mr. Blinker, you must paw fifty
cent stamp on the deed to make it law
full
What stamp deed? It's all fol-
ly; there is no such law, said Blnker,
on his dignity.
His friend explained, but failed to
make Blinker see it, and was obliged to
say:
"Well, if you don't stamp the deed /
shall not pay you the money"
IF you are SO damned particular,
said Bunker, Il suppose | can stamp it
fifty cents worth, but hate to spoil
the squire's writing.
The deed was handed him; he off
with his coat stepped back into the
room, laid the deed on the floor, and
commenced stamping it with his feet.
The purchaser, the squire and witness,
turned all colors, and finally laughed
hysterically. Catching his breath one
said
