Queen Victoria, when girl, was
passionately fond of climbing walls
and trees. One day at Malvern she
climbed a tall apple tree and was
unable to get down. A young man
named Davis, a gardener, was at
tracted by her cries, got a ladder
and brought her safely down. Deep.
ly grateful, she opened her purse
and presented him with a guinea.
Davis framed it, and ever since has
been proud to tell the tale and show
the piece of gold which the queen
gave him so many years ago.-New

other steamers eagerly took his wa

several hundred pounds, people began
to think there was something in it, and
the merchants sent their tea almost
entirely by his ship.
OF course the steamer, the greatest
speed of which was eight knots an hour
arrived in England weeks after the
others, and the captain lost his money;
but he made nearly $4,000 profit allthe
