Ifemny eases the chief key-note lias not ji ljpcen struck at all. We have been told r and over again what has occurred Bplipu the Victorian «*ra. The mightiest Sp^i^tliing- she has done has been almost ■p^giHired. while she has been honored by H^^iaving her name attached to iudivid l^^tials and events for whom and for which nglehc had u«^ responsibility. put before us the names of potent and ^^pgramlly useful men and women who ll have lived during lie# reign, bull do not suppose that sh$ at all helped p '- Thomas Carlyle in tw istiug bid iu volvèd; and jqighty Satires, or htaped DisraeFi in issuance <>f his oplgrt malic wit, or helped C ardinal Newiu; . in his cix»:ssing over fr«im religion to re JJr ligion, or helped to inspire the en chanted sentiments of George Eliot 1| and Harriet Martineau and Mrs. lirovvn I iug, or helped to invent any of George Cruiksliank's healthful cart« helped George Grey in founding a British Soutli African empire, or kin died the patriotic fervor with which John Bright stirred the masses, anything to do vvith the invention of tlie telephone or phonograph, or the building up of the science of bacteriol ogy, or the directing of the Roentgen rays which have revolutiouiz«*d sur gery, or helped in the inventions for facilitating printing and railroading arid ocean voyaging. Une is not to be credited or discredited for the virtue or the vice, the brilliance or the stupidi ty, of his or her contemp««rnrii?s, While Queen Victoria has been the friend of all art, all literature, all sci en ce, all invention, all reform, her reign will be most remembered for all time and all eternity as the reign of Christianity. Beginning with that scene at five o'clock in the moaning, in Kensington palace, where she asked the archbishop of Canterbury to pray for her, and they knelt down, iinplor ing Divine guidance, un*il this hour, not only in tlie sublime liturgy of her established church, but on all occa sions, she has directly or indirectly de clared: "I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of Heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son." I declare it, fearless of any con tradiction, that the mightiest chain pion of Christianity to-day is the throne of England. The queen's book, so much criticised at the time of its gBe glorious reign «»f this oldest queen ■Bid many centuries. From 5 o'clock IB the morning of 1SJ7, when the arch ^■phop of Canterbury ■■barra ased aud weeping ami almost HHrighted girl of 1» years with the Hwatljag* WQi-J», "Your Majesty," until ^|pi a sixtieth anniversary of her BHfcroueraent the prayer of all people whether that prayer be of ildressed the • ail sides tu* «cas, 5Ç|g^®red by the 3U0,U0|uUUU of her subie larger numlx r of milUoqs \\ We have appearance, some saying it was not skillfully done, and some saying that the private household ought not «so to have been exposed, was nevertheless a book of vast usefulness from the fact that it showed that God;was aeknowl edged in all her life and that "Kook of Ages" was not an unusual song in Windsor Castle. Was her son. the affairs of a prince of Wales, down with an illness that baffled the greatest doctors of Eu gland? Then she proclaimed a day of prayer to Almighty God, and iu an- j bwer to the prayers of the whole civil- j ided world the prince got well. Was ! Sebastopol to be taken and the thou- | bands of bereaved homes of soldiers to j be comforted, she called her nation to | its knees, and the prayer was answered. Sec her walking through the hospitals J like an angel o( mercy! Was there explosion of fire damp in the mines of Shellield or Wales ami her I telegram was not the first to arrive with help and Christian sympathy? Is President GarBeld dying at Long Branch, and is not the cable tinder the bea, reaching to Balmoral castle, kept busy in announcing the symptoms of the sufferer? ever I believe thaft no throne bince the throne of David and the throne of Hezekiah and the throne of Esther has been in such constant touch with the throne of Heaven as the throne of Vic toria. From what I know of her habits, ; bhe read« the Bibl^mpfe than she does | Shakespeare. She ftfllliin i the hymns | of Horatio Bonar more than she does ; Byron's "Corsair." Wie lias not know -1 ingly admitted into her presence a cor- ! rupt man or dissolute woman. To very ; distinguished novelists and very cele- J brated prima donnas she has declined , reception because they were immoral, i All the coming centuries of time can i e the advantage» of having ara of Christian womanhood not rtf Lad 00 •nthroned In the palace» of England.

Alas! for the rev dries, and the worse than Bel j bhmzzar feasts, and the more than He rodiau dances, and the scones from which the veil raust not be lifted.

The temptations of social life among the successful classes have been so great that every winter is a holocaust of human nerves, and the beaches of this tossing sea of high life • constantly strew and mental and moral shipwreck. Be ware! all ye successful ones. Take a good look at the venerable queen as she rules through Regent street and along the Strand. an«l through Trafal gar square, and by the Nelson monu ment.

The most damnably corrupt things on earth is American politics after men have I,ml Hall their own way in this country for wi years. Other things being equal, ; for there are foots among women men—I say otlien | well as among | things being equal, woman lias gen ; erally a keener sense of what is right -1 and what is wrong than has man —has ! naturally more faith in God, and knows ; better how to make self-sacrifices, and J would more boldly act against intern , perance and the social evil, and worse i things might come to this country than i a supreme court room and a senate chaw lier and a house of representa tives in which womanly voice* were sometimes heard.
