The Queens Choice.

Great amusement was caused by the
recital of ali incident which occurred
soon after her maiesty's accession to
the throne. A grand dinner party was
being given at Buckingham palace. The
probable husband the queen might Sc
lect was then a matter of much inter
est and speculation. Lord Melbourne, a
prime minister, felt the matter to be
one in which he was entitled to obtain
information if possible. So he inquired
of the queen as neatly as he could
whether there was any individual for
whom she entertained a preference.
Her majesty was little taken aback
and inquired whether he put the ques-
ton as matter of state policy. If SO,
she would endeavor to give him an an
swer. Lord Melbourne replied that he
did, and that under no other circum-
stances would he have ventured to in
trude in so delicate a matter. Then,
said the queen, there is one person for
whom entertain decided preference.
"Yes?" said Lord Melbourne, expecting
to hear a great secret. And that is
that is, said the queen, "the Duke of
Wellington. The venerable hero of
Waterloo was past his seventieth year,
and the story used to be retailed b.
Lord Melbourne at his own expense
