Queen Victorin's Ghost.

Many years ago, Lady Flora Hastings
was Maid Of Honor at the Court of
Queen Victoria. The breath Of scandal
blow upon her fair fame She was a
beautiful and artless woman, full of
vivacity, and. from very innocence, was
betrayed into the whirlpool Of malignant
gossip. Instead Of shielding her Maid
OF Honor, the youthful Queen counton-
anccd the vile conspiracy against her
reputation and banished her from Court.
Not long after this, Lady Flora
Hastings died Of broken heart, but
lived long enough to prove her spotless
reputation. She was relative Of the
Butte family, and this powerful branch
Of the English nobility never for gave
the Queen for the treatment she accord
cu tho unfortunate Lady Flora Gradu.
ally, however this sad circumstance
died into memory, until its revival the
other day, by the death of the Count ess
OF Luodon, the sister Of Lady Flora
Hastings. Prior TO hor death, the
Countess Of London steadfastly refused
TO respect or have anything to do with
Victoria or her affairs. through lon;
life, she treasured up that stricken
sisters wrong, and has left herit age
Of revenge, which is one of the most
remarkable in history. In her will she
lalt this command

cut off and buried in the park Castle

the Queens many palaces. IfVictoria

memery Of Lady Flora Hastings will
pursue her, through the m cdum of the
Countess Of Leudou's buried hand and
the vindictivc inscription on the marble
cross. 1T she does not visit her country
seat near the hill of Trent, the populace
will ascribe her neglect to do so to
supernatural reasons In any event,
tho poor Queen must be bitterly punish
ed for her carly error and Lady Flora
will be terribly avenged. But it does
seem rather more Pagan than Christian
that woman should carry into the
dread world beyond Us such unrelenting
hatred, especially as tits to be presumed
that she recognized in the Cross Of
Christ token of forgiveness, rather
than vindictivsncss, and must have
prayed bctimes to re forgiven rs she fer

now blessed Lady Flora did not need
