We have no envy of or quarrel
with high-up people, If they order
their lives to correspond with their
station and use both for the better
ment of humanity. Queen Victoria
was one of the finest women of the
nineteenth century. She left last
ing impress upon the world. not by
reason of any great talents, but
through her homely virtues. AS a
child she was plainly reared, for her
parents were comparatively poor,
and she was not thought of as a
monarch, for there were many lives
between her and the throne, but
death took one after another until
when nearly Is years old she was
awakened at midnight and saluted
as Queen of England. 1t was her
words then, ooh, l will try to be
good" that gave the keynote to her
character. Her letters recently pub
lished reveal her as the most loyal
of wives, the most tender of mothers,
the most faithful of friends. Her
children were trained to eat plain
food such as would make them
strong and healthy, and to absolute
obedience to parents and teachers.
The motto of Victoria, both as
mother and Queen, was that ''to be
fit to command, one must learn to
obey" The home and the marriage
relation to her were sacred; no d.
vorce was allowed at her court, and
people who were suspected of i'm
moral lives found scant favor from
her.
| 1t is said that she only cared for
the literature that dealt with the
plain, home-like virtues. She was a
good woman and, by virtue of her
goodness, was great Queen.

but just what their object is cannot be

the Alabama Great Southern grade but
will construct a trestle work to get over.
The trestle will be of great advantage to
both roads, for at crossings on grades
trains must come to a standstill, and
therefore time is lost. BY using the trestlc
the new road will have an easier grade
to reach the top Of the cut near Readers,
