''If thou steal aught, thou losest thy life.

Her Majesty.
New York Graphic,

New York Graphic,
Queen Victoria will have completed
her sixtieth year should she live until
May "a, 1879. On the 18th of June last
she celebrated the fOrtieth anniversary
OF her coronation. She succeeded to
the crown on the Goth Of June, 1887,
but was not crowned for a year and a
week afterward. Egbert, the first
King of all England, assembled the
throne in S27, exactly 1,0l0 years be-
fore Queen Victoria's ascension. OF all
sovereigns of England George Ill
reigned the longest. nearly 80 years,
from 1860 to 1920. His later years, as
is we'll known, were clOuded with in
sanity. He reigned but did not rule.
Henry VIII reigned J56 years, from
1916 to 1872. Edward Ill reigned 90
years, 1927 to 1877. Queen Eliz beth
reigned 40 years, from I55S to 1903.
And should Queen Victoria die at the
present moment, her Ieign would rank
after that OF Elizabeth-that is, the
fifth in length in ten centuries and a
half. The combined length of the
reigDs of these five sOvereigns is 251
years-that is, a little less than one
fourth of the whole period.
1t is well known that the Queen
healthhss been anything but robust for
some years past. The shock caused by
the death of Princess Alice, to whom
her majesty was tenderly attached may
have disastrous eff, ct. The Qneen
may survive her affiiction, and she
lmay, and we hope she'will, live on for
years to come, but then she may not

POETRY.
OUR CHOIR.
There's Jane Sophia
And Ann Maria,
With Obadiah
And Jedekiah,


There's Jane Sophia
And Ann Maria,
With Obadiah
And Jedekiah,
In our choir.
And Jane Sophia soprano sings
30 high you'd think her voice had wings
To soar above all earthly things,
When she leads of on Sunday;
When Ann Maria's alto choice
Rings out in such harmonious voice
That sinners in the church rejoice,
And wish she'd sing TIL Monday.
And Obadiah's tenor high
Is unsurpassed beneath the sky.
Just hear him sing ''Sweet Bye and-Bye,"
And you will sit and wonder;
While Jedekish's bass profound
Goes down 30 low it jars the ground,
And wakes the echoes miles around,
Like distant rolling thunder.
Talk not TO US OF PATHS fame,
OF Nicolinis tenor tame,
or Csry's alto,-but name,-
Or Whitney's ponderons bassO.
They sing no more like Jane Sophia
And Ann Maria, Obadiah
And Jedekiah, in our choir,
TIa1 cats sing like Tomaso!
