Winged insects possess more varied

distances; others are carried off by storms:
and the floating trees which serve as RATS
for mammals are the homes Of myriads.
Immense numbers Of tropical insects arc

years, They will survive wonderfully hard

distribution Of insects, the barriers oppos-

Queen ViOtoria's Proposal to Prince Albert.

The story may have been read by few
Of our readers, but it will be new to most
of them 1t is not allowable for a subject
to propose to sovereign. When the SOW
ereign is a woman, as in the case Of the
Queen of England, the proposition must
proceed from the sovereign. When the
Queen felt matrimonially inclined, the
rules Of etiquette required her to take t he
matter in hand herself. We have read
the narrative of the interesting event, as
artlessly and swsetly told, in her own
words, but this is the Prince Consort's own
relation Of it. We may premise that
Albert had been on a visit to the Queen
for some time previous, matter that had
been prearrauged by the uncle of the
Prince and Queen. Prince Albert thus
describes the method of his engagement to
the Queen :-"The Queen sent for me
alone to her room, and declared to me, in
genuine outburst of heartiness and love,
that had gained her whole heart, aud
would make her over-happy if | would
make the sacrifice of sharing her life with
her; for she said she looked upon il as a
sacrifice. The only thing that troubled
her was that she did not think she was
worthy of me. The joyous openness of
manner in which she told me this quite
enchanted me, aud | was quite carried
away by it. She is really most good and
amiable, and am quite sure Heaven has
not given me into evil hands, and that we
shall be happy together"
Although the Prince Consort had the
love of tho Queen, he did not epose upon
a bed ofroses altogether destitute of thorns.
The British people were cold towards him
andjealousof him, which not only gave him
much uueasiness but the Queen also. She
noticed the Sights to which he was sub
jscted and like a true woman they served
only to endear him to her more and more
The unpleasant situation in which Prince
Albert found himself as prince eonsort has
been pretty well known, but no one has
described it better than himself in letter
to Baron Stockmar, published in Miss
Martins last volume. "When first came
over here, he writes, ~ was met by un-
willingness to give thought to the posi-.
ton OF this luckless personage Peel cut
down my income, Wellington refused me
my rank, the royal family cried out against
the foreign interloper, the Wings in Office
were only inclined to concede to mo just
as much space as | could stand upon. The
constitution is silent as to the consort Of

and yet there no was, and not to be done

Z! Upon the opening Of the new bridge ut
Staines, April, 1882, by King William
Nv. and Queen Adelaide, the attention of
q large body Of the people assembled to
witness the scene was attracted by the APP
pearande Of two men of unequal size, who
were making way through the crowd to-
ward the presence of their Majesties.
These apparent intruders were Colonel
Wood, of Littleton, aud William Goring,
tailor, Of Uhertsey. The little tailor Of
tive-feot-four was speedily introduced TO
the King by the tall Colonel of fve.fcet-
eleven, as q worthy subject, who wished to
speak with his Majesty. The King bent
an ear to the diminutive tailor, and re-
quested to know his wishes. "May it
please your Majesty, said the tailor, II am
William Goring, tailor, of Chertsey, and |
am one hundred years old this dayl Ihage
this day walked all the way from my ma
tive town, that may have the honor of
shaking hands with your Majesty Seer
tainiy," replied the King, a am glad to
see you, MIR. Goring, aud must congratu-
late the fraternity to which you belong in
having such q patriarch among them.
The King and Queen smiled behiguan1y
upon the aged tailor, and shook hands
heartily with him. Goring was then in
full possession of his faculties. He was
born April 23,4l732, and died January
81, 1896; consequently at the time Of his
death he was in his one hundredth and
fourth year. Over his grave in Chortsey
churchyard may be read the following text
from Genesis XIV 8: nBe died in good
old age, an old man, and full of years"
