No living sovereign has had a longer reign, • few, quick or dead, a more brilliant and eventful one. And yet on the eve of her birth, in 1819, the sun seemed set- ting on the fortunes of the house of Hanover. Madness had long clouded the brain and forced the seclusion of old King George III., and of his numerous sons and daughters not one could boast a successor to come after him or her as a legitimate heir to the crown. For years the only hope of the royal house !tad been the Princess Charlotte, a sweet and gracious woman, married to Prime Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. But in 1817 she died.

THE OF MUM -ET ER TIMES .s - QUEEN V1CTOtUA AND PRINCE ALBERT AT THE TIME OP THEIR MAR WAGE. keenly appreciated the position his lit- tle girl was to fill. Indeed, his Llarent- al ,pride and tenderness cost him his life, for, returning bome on a January day in 1820, with boots wet with snow, he caught a severe cold from playing with his baby, instead of changing his boots. The illness developed into acute pneumonia of which lie died, closely fol- lowed by his father, poor old King George. His death left his widow in an extremely lonely l l0 1 e and difficult nasi - tion. Her chief pecuniary legacy from her husband consisted of his debts, but ber brother, Prince ,Leopold, widower of Princess Charlotte, and afterward King of Belgium, hastened to her in her distress, and supplemented her in- come Irom his own purse. She got on very i11 with her brother-in-law, George IV. often tLreatened to take her child away !ruin her, and matters were not gr.:atly improved when William IV. be- came King. The Princess Victoria did not even attend his coronation, and when her mother wrote to the .Duke of Wellington, as Prime Minister, to re- quest that she might be treated as a Dowager Princess of Wales, and might receive an income sulta,ble tor herself and her daughter, for whom she also asked recognition as heiress to the throne, these requests met with posi- tive refusal. Later, when a regensiy bill was brought forward to provide for the event of the deathof the King while the Princess Victoria was still a minor, although the right thing was clone and the .Duchess was named Re - gem. Lee old feeling 0i hostility be- tween ner.3eir and the King was not re- moved, and duruag nearly the whole of his seven years• reign there were constant bickertngs and disputes be- tween Windsor and Kensington. But, if .Nrincess Victoria was unfor- tunate in some of her paternal uncles, her wise and kind maternal uncle, i ane 1 went farto redress the Orince h balance. At one time the prospect be - 1 ore him had been identical with the position atter ward ot,cupled by Jounce Albert. He had become a naturalized Englishman, and he had given great thought and study to English constitu- tional history, and to the duties and re- sponsibilities of a constitutional mon- ar..h. In 1817 the death of his wife dashed the cup of ambition from his lips, whereupon he transferred all his plans and all his interests in English constitutionalism to the little niece and nephew who were born respectively on May 24 and Alugust 26, 1819. The little 11CTOE.I,A AT KENSINGTON. and the little Albert of Coburg were destined by their uncle deolpold almost Irom their birth to Belay the part that would have been filled by the Princess Charlotte and himself, but for her early deatu. He had, of course, no absolute ,power to bring this marriage about, but he earnestly desired it and prepared the way for it by every means at his command, tie won, as he deserved to win, the Princess Victoria's most ar- dent affection. She herself has declared how she "adored" her uncle, and in after years, when choosing the name of Leopold for her youngest son, she paid: '14 is the name that is dearest to me after Albert, and which recalls the almost only happy days of my sad childhood." Prince 'Leopold early took his own mother, the Dowager Duchess of Coburg, a vary able woman, into his confidence, and she wholly shared his views and hopes. Prince Albert, from the time he was 3 years old, was accus- tomed to the idea that, when he was old enough, he was to marry his cousin, Princess Victoria of England. The first mention of Prince Albert as a husband was made to the Queen by her Uncle - Leopold. This was, no doubt, a chief bone of contention between Prince Leo- pold and the Duchess of Kent on the one hand and the King and his party on the other. For William IV. highly disapproved of the proposed union, and did everything in his power to stop it. proposing no fewer than five other mar riages for his niece. II Prince ,Leopold was a remarkable MOM his sister was also a signally sa- gacious woman, farsighted and resolute of purpose. Never forke:fUI.: of the fact that her child was the first Princess of the blood, the Duchess of Kent made the little Victoria's training the one absorbing object of her life, and she seems to have realized that education does not merely consist in Learning foots or acquiring accomyprlishmennts,hut should also aim at forming the charao ter and disciplining the whole nature, so that it may acquire conscientious- ness and the strength wvthiah comes m froself-mastery. This end being kept in view, the !?rimless was trained In the habits of • STRICT PERSOiN'AL INTEGRITY, which are the only unfailing safeguard for truthfulness, The financial side of truthfulness is honesty, and great at- tention was given to exactitude with regard to money in the Queen's early tratntng.. i It was in May, 1850, that the Prin- cess saw her future husband for the first time, when Prince Albert, then a handsome boy of 17, carne with his father and brother to pay a visit to his aunt and cousin th England. There is no record of the meeting save in the Prince's letters to his mother, pub- lished in his memoirs, which give few details. Stories are told of flowers be- stowed and looks exchanged—the gos- live as ordinary people do. The pres- sip of the ballroom; but these are not things likely to be spet$fed in lettere to the mother at home. When the Prince left England, however, anxious King Leopold in the bacirgreund, mho was still, as always, watching over ev- erything, broke the silence and wrote to his niece. The' Princess i replied warmly, with a frankness that must y care - v gladdened heart of ber have lene51 the+ r ful and devoted guardian, entreating her uncle to take into his special �pro- teetion "one naw so dear to mP, Then the Prince went forth upon' '']s travels and a. great change came in the' life of his bride to be. On June 20, 11237, King William was gathered to his fa- thers and Queen Victoria tools Iris elate on the throne. *The netnoirs of the time tell how modestly she, demeaned herself in her changed psMtlon, and how, in the trying hours following ; he late King's death, and during the un - posing coronation at Westminster eight clays later, her youthful comeliness and innocence abused a new sense of Ioyalty and admiration to rise in the minds of all with whom she came in contact. Best of all the immediate circle of ad- visers and friends around the young sovereign fed her with no flatteries nor foolish exultation. The wise illaron Btockmar stood at her elbow, the priv- ate representative of bis royal master and friend. King Leopold, and that. as- tute guardian himself never abated his vigilance, watching over his niece's ev- ery step and ever ready to counsel her. Early in 1838 King Leopold, now more anxious than ever that the desire which he had cherished for so many years should be fulfilled wrote to the Queen, pressing that some DECISIVE ARRANGEMENT might be come to regarding her mar- riage to Prince Albert. To thin her Majesty demurred, for reasons which her uncle considered conclusive. She was herself, she urged, too young; so also was the Prince; and being still under age, a marriage with him would be considered by her subjeots as pre - /nature. longre- main did not The Queen, however, main in this sober and matter-of-fact state of mind. lin October of 1239 Prince Albert came once more to Eng- land. Be was now full grown, in all of the freshness of 20, the age at which a handsome youth is handsomest, be- fore any of the bloom has been rubbed off. Life in the beautiful old castle. of Windsor in those mellow autumn days was gay and bright as heart could de- sire., and before a week was ended, the Queen's purposes bad changed, and love had found a way to make its wishes known. One morning the Pr,nce was summoned alone to the young sover- eign's presence, and the Queen told him why she had sent for hum." A mist falls upon what was said and done aft- er that, but when the young pair were again seen of ordinary men the light of a. great joy shone upon tjleir faces. "These last few days have pass- ed like a dream to me, and I am so much bewildered by it all that I know hardly how to write, but I do feel very happy," wrote the Queen to her uncle; and, "more I can not write you, for at this moment moment I am too bewild- ered," said the Prince on his side, strik- ing, as became him, a bolder note, and throwing his happiness into the words of the poet: Upon the eyes heaven opens bright The heart is flooded with delight, They were married on February 10, 1840, and went to live at Windsor. Hap- py in their love, they were also happy in their mutual tastes. Loth were fond of music and art, and well instructed in both. Nor was life at Buckingham Palace quota of stately gayety and sober and Windsor Castle without its full pomp. Kings and princes came, and went. There were shows and pageants, state visits and progresses—the Queen ever in the foreground of the national life. But the pleasures most prized by the young pair, were all domestic, con- terin4' in their hone. "The children.," which, as the years went on, came, to widen the £amitycircle, figure perpet- ually in all the records. The happiest expedition is tinged with regret at leaving them behind.
