A Recent Visit to Windsor.
BY FREDERIKA BREMER.
Biilte of all the creet lion of London, and
wearied with tlio incessant Ijiimle of (lie
Strand, where omnibus followed omnibus
through the wholo dnv nnd tiisht, liow deli
rioua waa it to Inkn a lliuht liv railwnv Iron)
London into the country, nnd there tu spend
few dnya with friends whose indescribable
tminese made it pleasant to led one c
otiticed lo them.
It lina rained nnd linen stormy the whole
day, Lut towards aunset tlin west horizon
grew bright, ami cast splendid lipiims upon
the heavy masses of cloud in tlie east. Tim
wet treea and fields shone in thn radiance of
the aunset, which became still Wnpner slid
more brill iutil, giving proiniao to the carlli uf
bright to-morrow.
And several bright and beautiful dnys suc
ceeded ; beautiful nnd quirt day spent in
conversation, wondering in verdant proves
listening to the soups uf birds; in cheerful
drives; ngrecnhle, culm, socinl life! Would
Ihnt it were the lot of ninny lo enjoy rural
life inch as 1 enjoyed at, in the house of
tir. nnd Airs,.
Willi my hostess nnd friend 1 visited the
wealthy houses of some of their rural neigh
bours, furnished with nil the conveniences of
life, with exquisite urlich' of luxury, llowers,
paintings, slnlunry; I visited also the Jittlo
farmhouses and cotlngeg in the village, nnd
in the fields, where the people labor fur their
daily bread, nnd know little ufuny other lux
ury than that and rest.
The houses of the rich were richer in nohle
works of nrt thnn is common in the wealthy
houses of Sweden; the condition of the poor
aeemed to me nearer to that of our peasantry
in Sweden, but the dwellings were lighter,
more roomy, and above nil, much neuter.
This was in the county of Surrey.
One dny wo wero present nt n so-called
plowing match between the counties of
Surry and Middlesex. Tlio diy wus beau
tiful, nnd tlio scene new lind fresh, although
not ninny people were present, that is lo s.iy,
a few hundred peasant:), nnd uhout twenty
equipages. The country people, and most of
the midd'o class, ranged themselves like a
moving frame woilt lo the Held in which tlio
ploughing wni to take place. The carriages
were drawn up on n grecu mound which
commanded it. There also was erected n
white tent, before which stood a colossal besd
of Indian corn nnd hows of ribband, which
were intended, as I imagine, to accompany
the distribution of the pi iges. The people
ecmcd well-disposed, and in bo enjoying
themselves, tunny smoking their pipes. 1 km w
no strong liquor on the field, or indued any
refreshment whatever.
All eyes were directed to the ploughmen,
who, about twenty in number, ploughed mid
ploughed industriously, nnd in silence, under
the eyes of the spectators. I'.aeli light
plough seemed to bo provided w ith a litilu
wheel, by which it wus guided. walked
round tho field, on the urui of one of the ri.
vsl gentlemen ! but, according to my judge.
eneot, it seemed dillicult to decide between
Surrey and Middlesex. The general opinion,
however, nppunrcU lo he in l.ivor ul a Aiidille
ex man, in the service of my polite conduc
tor, who wus suid to plough the most
accurate furrows. And 1 learned in the
evening, that the prize hud been adjudged lo
bim.
In about an hour llm people collected to
gether on the mound w here the tent stood.
A sort of travelling carriage, full of persons,
drove up and made n hull there. One of the
gentlemen in the enrringo stood up nnd ad
dressed the people, and announced that
prizes would now be given as irwnrds for
faithful servitude in that neighborhood.
The speaker lamented, at tho same time,
that persona of ullluence thcro showed a de
creasing interest in this Institution, nnd that,
with every yenr, the subscriptions became
less, from which cause they were compelled
lo oiler smaller rewards, and to leave many
good servants, well deserving of rewind,
altogether without any. The speaker ad
monished the wealthy to warmer zeal in the
cause, en J more liberality in their contribu
tions. Alter this, several men nnd women of the
working chins wero culled forth, and these,
In appearance and dress, were not unlike our
(Swedish peasantry around Stockholm. They
advanced, each in bis place, to receivo tho
prizes, which consulted of money, from half-
crown to a sovereign. I could nave wished
the man a sort ol rural police or orderly
who culled out the servants, and who showed
them to their scats after they had received
their rewards, in some other place, with such
dry and uueourteoua manner did he perliuin
hie office, making a contrast equally striking
wilh the reul guullelulks as with the peas
antry. The whole scene gnvo me the impression
that this distribution of prizes, mere money
rewards of from live to twenty shillings, for
twenty or thirty years' faithful service, doe
riot belong lo the present oge, nnd certainly
aya as little for its conception of virtue, mid
virtue's reward, as of the necessity lor society
to stimulate il in ibis manner.
We were invited to a breakfast after tho
ploughing match, but, ns it was then late, we
preterred driving home, pausing by tho way
to observe some beauliliil views in that richly
cultivated country. How like u large, beau
tiful garden I
There grew upon the height where wo
tood, ninl I huve seen the same in many fields
of England, bushes not not unlike our Swe
dish juniper, hut which boro rciii.iknhly henu
liful yellow flowers, of the pea-blossom liirin.
Mrs. told me lliaiLiniiaiis, when he first
1 reme to England, and saw n field covered
' wilh these hushes, then in full bloom, threw
himself on his knees, nnd kissed the enrth
which produced flowers so beautiful. (Il
perhaps needle's lo mention, thai the flower
referred to is the yellow goise. 7Vaf.)
t One dny, one of my huuiitil'ol days at
we drove my amiable hostess and myself
to Windsor, w here Queen Victoria wus then
residing with her fuinily. The ensile nnd ils
neighborhood are among the most noblo nnd
most magnificent in England, and deserve to
lie visited for their own suke. Nevertheless,
it la Kssible that the chnuce which was thus
afforded ma of teeing England's Queen was
the attractive power in my cane. 1 had been
assured that I might easily he presented, but
there was not attractive power enough to
draw ine to the Queen on those terms, a
-then variotia requirements of Ilia toilet would
have had to be taken iuto consideration. Vet

surely, for stieh a womnn, and for nnch n I
J . . .... . . . 41
Queen, I might very willingly take n deal of
trouble, anil put on my lies! clotliea merely
for the pleasure of looking into her eyes and
touching her hand.
Lightly rolled our easy tittle rariisge on
our way to Windsor. The dny was mild,
but cloudy; we had both umbrellas and para
sols with us, that we might be prepared ei
ther for rnin or sunshine. Wo drove nlong
n enrden like, cultivated country, here nnd
there scattered over with peasants' cottages
nml pretty country residences. Alter nn
agreeable, drive of two hours, we reached the
park of Windsor, which npprnred to me ex
" tensive nnd rich in noble trees, whilst it
Incked the rninnntin henuty and picturesque
rhnrncter of Ihe royal pnrks of Sweden, ns
Djurgnrden, llngn nml Koseiinorg.
From ihe coinmencenienl of the magnifi

firmly and quietly on its height, with a back

William the Conqueror, charmed by the glo
rious prospect from this height fortified the
castle here by his own strong hand. And
nil the English mnnarchs who have resided
there have left somn memorial of their hue
for thai proud nnd heniitiful tibode. 1 lie
noble, mniriianimotis Edward 111., born at
Windsor, built nenrlv tho whole of Ihe ens

Ihe husband nnd murderer of many wives,
built the gale, which still benrs his nnine.
Bloody Queen Murv celebrated hero her ho-

I'hilip II. Queen Elizabeth built tho most
magnificent of the terraces. Charles I. lived
here, first ns king, nnd afterward ns prisoner.
Charles II. loll here traces of his hive for
pomp nnd luxury of nil kinds. William III
nnd Queen Anno henutilied the pnik, by
.planting n venues of elm nnd beech. fJeurge

Windsor was his favorite resilience. There
ho ubodo in hi youthful d.ijs, nml during
his whole life, abounding in storms and vic
tories; hero ho was confined when the eye
ball ol mind nnd body became darkened, here
ho might bo seen wandering about in dressing-gown
and long while beard, tin) blind
eye rolling restlessly, now and then striking
on thn piano a lew notes, n few accord of
his liivorile llnlidcl, hut deaf lo the sound of
the bell which lulled for Ihe burial of his
grand-daughter, tint heir to his crown, thn
beloved ol his people deaf to the rolling
w heels ol ihe funeral procession which con
ducted her lo the grave, which seemed us if
It would not open lor bun.
Next Clime George. IV., lavishing gold nnd
finery upon Windsor, to make it u suitiiblu
homo for pleasure and dissipation, more hea
thenish than Christian, and shrinking from
the public eye ; nnd thus he was compelled to
purchase, nt a great cost, n hilly tower, which
n curious subject had built close beside the
park liir the opportunity of seeing what went
forward there, especially in the neighbour
hood of Ihe charming Virginia Water, where
tlio monarch was accustomed In row about in
a litilu bout ornamented with Maliommedaii
symbol.
t.'eorgo IV. left nl Windsor mnny portraits
and statutes of himself, but not a single noble
memory.
Hut thai did William IV., tho sailor king,
as ho is culled, and tho good Queen Adelaide.
They made Windsor a liivorile place of re
sort for the people, whose eyes they did not
shun, but whom they loved lo see uroutid
lliem, ns parents do their children.
I'mler Queen Victoria nnd Prince Albert
is Windsor less than ever a home of pomp
and festivity ? No! but more anil more is it
the home of human virtues, both public and
private. People do not talk of tho pleasures
of the royul pair, hut they speak of their excel
lent schools tor poor children, and their excel
lent institutions for old servants. People do
not build inuuixitivn tower in Ihe cnchiiiiliui;
neighbourhood of Virginia Wnter, llint they
may spy out the secret pleasures of royalty,
hut they drive thither In sea the bcnnlilid
farms which I'riueo Albeit has ilcnigned,
where happy hiiinuu beings live end children
play.
Wo drove through nvcneiis threo English
miles long on each side of the puik, composed
of beautiful trees, elms and beeches. The
new of thn castle Ihe wholo nay, with its
round tower und fluttering banner, is renllv
magnificent, Wu ihovo through tho little
town ol U unlsor, and then up lo the castle,
We first visited tho chnpol. a beautiful nn-
liipiu building, which powerfully moves the
excited mind to devotion, und then, w hilst
waiting for admission into the ensile, walked
lo nml h o upon the terrace Queen l.lisu
beth's work mid place of exercise; in truth,
a promenade lit lor a proud queenly spun.
I he view fiotii this point is ho extensive, end
free, that (mo seems to behold half tho globe
at one's feet. Through ihe vntt expanso of
meadow, the royal Thames meanders, gleam
ing fbi th like silver, while the spires ol Eton
College raise themselves commandingly

churches, villages and towns, till at length, ill
ine uiue instance, lliu liorisou encloses tin
rich and immense landscape in a half circle
How Queen Eliz'ihctli must huve fell as she
gazed on this picture!
Elizabeth I'mliir! I lovelier not, for she
was not a liotilo woman, however grand she
might he us a sovereign ; but I love her pic
ture in history, love il (ir the contrast which
il presents. The proud Queen on the terrace
ut Windsor, with half the win id at her feet
and then later, during tho lust days of her
life, henrt-hrnkeu by the treachery of Essex,
nnd his death on the seutl'jlil, silting silent,
niiuejc iivcieu on (me spot, lliu linger
pressed upon mo closed lips, relumng inedi
cine, w ishing for death, deuf lo ell word,
except 1 1 ioso of prayer. How unlike are
the pictules! I think that I love her best in
tho last, 'hecuiisu she died w ith a yet warm
hem t.
This Elizabeth atunds, nevertheless, wilh
a rare glory in history, alone in more iIihii one
way. Happiness nnd misery, love and hale,
victories und the aculTohl; ihe utmost allien-
dour of noon day; tho deepest duikucsa of
uigui; ami amiil ulltliesea will, an intellect,
which knew how to govern, lo govern itsell
ns well us others nil extraordinary human
me :
Beside this stands Queen Victoria aa a
sun-bright idyl.
We went into the apartments of the castle;
I ahull not any much of their magnificence,
or of their painting. I wna more struck
with m hut 1 saw in Warwick Castle ( resides,

the most beautiful rooms and thn best pic
tures were not shown. Of tho latter, none
made a deeper impression on my memory
than the excellent portnitsof Pope Pius VII.,
nnd of Cardinal (lonsnlvi, perhnpe in some
degree from Ihe remarkable contrast in torm
and character, which these presenieu wiiii
those of Ihe English statesmen nn the nppo

the highest degree of intellectual character
is expressed in those beautiful Indian form,

In thn verv touch of the litis of their fin
gers; one migh sny thai the noblest Italiau
wine flowed in their veins.
Will Queen Victoria drive out to-dny ? we
inquired from souio of Ihe castle nllcndntita.
No one could say positively ; the Queen had
gone out on horseback several times last week
perhaps nlso to-day she might ride out in the
iiflernonn.
We hud already been two hours nt W unl
sor, it was now 'print three iujhe afternoon,
nnd as we wished to reiich home before dusk,
and ns we saw no signs of n royal ciivnlcpile,
we de'ci mined lo w.iit no longer, but to set
out on our homeward woy. We went down
to the enrriage which had drawn up below,
outside Ihe iron gates, tho nearest approach
In Ihe castle. Here we found about a hun
dred persons nsseinliled, mostly of the lower
class, although well-dressed, who appeared
to he waiting lor something that wna to
como from the ensile, lowonl w hich they
looked up.
We had jut taken our sents in llin ear
linge, when wo heard it said, " The Queen
is coininL'."
So it was ! Queen Victoria w itli Prince
Albeit, nnd their nlleiiilanis, ciimo riding
down from the castle, and on toward the iron
gales, which opened liir them. We drew up
our carriace in order In see the Queen ns per
fectly as possible; und that was not difl'.-olt,
for she caino on slowly and looked quietly
nrniind her. She was dressed in n black
closely-fitting riding habit, u black riding-hut
without veil or ornament, nnd rode upon
brown horse. To the left of the Queen rode
I'rincn Albert! (Hi liel- riehl Jill elder! V lCllt III
man, who looked like a (icriiinn. After the
Queen, upon n pony, rode her eldest sou, the
young Prince of Wales, no one on either ule;
nfter him came a Mutely Indy und two gen-
Ik-men, with three servant billowing. All
were dressed in black, all rode upon brown
horses ; the whole cnvulcmle looked as simple
nml unpretending as possible. I had my eyes
riveted upon Ihe Quern. She seemed in me,
between thn two lull gentlemen, almost like i
I it I to girl. I remembered the imposing figure
und glance of our Northern Queen. I could
not judge of the much praised und beautiful
form of the head on necotml of the riding-hat,
which also concealed llm upper purl of the
forehead. llowever,the small figure uppeur
rd In me remarkably well proportioned nml
elegant, and she aalu her horse, which
seemed to curry her us if in spurt, gracefully
and well.
Shu looked nt us, and saluted us with n
short nnd of Ihe head. There wn more of
kindness, however, in Prince Albert's glance
mid how. Then came Ihe lililo Prince with
hi hat lifted from bin head, nod the light
lock raised by Iho wind, a delicate-looking
boy, hut with eyes and an expression from
which mi angel seemed In glance, grave and
gentle did he look, thai lovely nine yearn'
old boy ( Thu sight of him nfli'cied me
greatly, and I could not help saying ill Swe
dish, "God hies thee, thou beantiloijcliihl !"
borne over loyal liitln boys waved their
hul so zealously, that the Queen said to
them, " Put on your hat ! you frighten ihe
horses!" And, turning at the s inio niotni lit
towards where we were, saw an expression
on her pouting under lip, of which I would
w illingly have seen more, because thero was
m il suppressed merry laughter.
nut they rode on, Ihe caviilcailo turned to
thn left into a hye:mud of the w oods.nnd van
ished among the green trees. said farewell
In the hope uf ever seeing more of Queen
ictoriH ; yet, nevertheless, did see more of
her, thanks ho In t.ito nnd my old bwcciIihIi
umbrella, which, fur the last tiiuo in foreign
purts, did me now good service,
coucliiiiaii,one of Queen Victoria's lvul sub
jects, who had, during our drivn to Windsor,
been especially desirous nf avoiding a certain
heavy and sandy road, now finind renson for
not avoiding it. probably because tdie hail seen
mo Uucen lake the same road; nnd lumen it
was thai, to our surprise, we found ourselves,
nfter hull' an hour' ploughing nf thn sand,
rinse upon Queen Victoria' train. After wo
had driven tlnwly tor a fow minutes, the
Queen turned round, and motioned with her
hand for our coachman lo drive past them.
He obeyed, und just as we came past Ilia
Queen, he dashed forward in order lo cleur
the woy for her Majesty. We had not gone
fifty yards, w hen, in consequence of the rapid
movement of the carriage, una of thn doors
flew open, and nil the umbrellas and parasols
Hew up to rust themselves nn the ground nt
the feet of Queen Victoria. I caught ut
them, but loo lute to save my Sweedish um
brella, which resolutely seemed to fling itself
out of the carriage upon the road. My Swedish
umbrella ! my faithful companion during
u three yenr' travel my travelling companion
in America and the West Indies no!
I could mil leave it hern to be trampled upon
by the lent of Queen Victoria' horse. I must
tuck il up, eveu if from beneath that very
horse's feet.
" We must stop! I must get out," said 1 lo
my irresolute, friend, "I must huve my um
brella again ! "
Mrs. called lo her coachman to slop,
nnd I alighted from the carriage. Al the
si me moment up galloped the Queen nnd
Prince Albert, laughing nnd nodding kindly
to me, who could lint help Inujihing myself.
Then they rodo past im.niio of the gentlemen
indicating in us that the umbrelhi had been
picked up and restored In the hand of tho
cnneliuiun. I was glad to have recovered my
faithful travelling companion' nnd nlmost
equally glad Hint by means ol Ms self-sncri-fu-iug
interposition, I hud received an impres
sion nf Queen Victoria which could scarcely
hnva been improved.
There urocouuteiinnces.whii'h we may see
for whole days.aud yet not understand idem
until one has seen a tear in the eye. Oilier
countenances there ure.which are unexpluin
ed enigmas, until a smile, or a good, hearty
fit of laughter lights them up. And thus
wns it, when ictoria, laughing, and nodding
lo me, flew past me, light and airy as a fuirv
Queen. I at once understood the magic power
of her person; for, like sunlight breaking
through the cloud, liken flower burning from
its bud, was the laughter in Ihe Queen'
countonnnee. There was in it a high degree
or natural lite, freshness, vivacity, good hu
mnur, nn good dcnl of peculiar chnracter.
After this, I can easily comprehend whnt a
nohle Indy.who often sees Ihe Queen, said on
one occasion, in reply lo my remark, "Whnt
a little Queen you have ! " " Yes, she is a
a little Queen, hut on a large scale! She
seems to me always like a human being such
ns God made her, while the greater number
of human beings seem to be such ns Cod did
not mnan mem i
A human beings such aa Cod made her,
natural, true in everything ! Whnt a lienuli

man beings such as Cud did nol make them"
how true I
Alas! educators, establishments for educa
tion, books,tfie world they lake care that we
ahull not hn I lint which Cod created us, ami
that it shall sometimes require half a lilt), liny,
that w e shnll not succeed sometimes through
the whole of life, in discovering what Ihe
Creator really intended us to he.
It is ensy to aeo whnt a power of faclnn
tinn a Queen, perlcclly tinturnl in maimer,
nnd who possesses so much thai is naturally
nohle and good in character, may exescisn
over the humble mind in this nrtificinl world.
On our return from Windsor, we passed
Runny mede, so remnrkablo in English histo
ry, which lies on n little island in the Thames,
where Magna Charm was signed by King
John. Tho sweet idylliun landscape, now il
himiunt'd by the raj sot the selling sun.scHrco

contest between I he people and Ihe kingly
power, which led lo the concluding of the
contract between the two, und which thus
made ihe place remarkable.
