A Woman’s View.
A woman writer has this to say about tho Queen: — We have been blessed abundantly with good things, and it will be impossible, for future history to chronicle a more glorious era of advancement in good works and good feeling than that of Victoria, Queen and Empress. A spirit of charity has prevailed throughout the realm ; never have the poor had so much done for them ; never have the sick been so carefully housed and tended ; never has anyone with brain and skill and determination had better chances of fortune than now. When history writes the record of Victoria’s long and brilliant reign, the small blots on society’s escutcheon will vanish as though they had never been, and the person’s who have made those blots will be “ passed over ” as unimportant items of ill-assorted fare in a full feast of plenty. And the glorious name and fame of the one Queen in England’s history, who is truly the Mother of her people ? will shine like the sun in a cloudless sky.
