.Mr. H. WETTSTEIN, a well-known,
enterprising citizen of Byron, 111.,
writes: "Before 1 paid much atten.
tion to regulating the bowels, I
hardly knew a well day; but since 1
learned the evil re-
sults of constipation,
and the efficacy of
AYER'S
Pills, I have not had
one day's sickness
for over thirty years
— not one attack
that did not readily yield to this
remedy. My wife had been, previ-
ous to our marriage, an invalid for
years. She had a prejudice against
cathartics, but as poou as she began
to use Ayer's Pills her health was
restored."

SIXTY BRILLIANT YEARS
The Vast Changes That Have
•
Marked Her Sway.
A MODEL WIFE, MOTHER AND QUEEN
HER INFLUENCE HAS BEEN GREAT IN
THE COURT, THE HOME, AND THE
EMPIRE.
Wednesday Queen Victoria had reign-
ed longer than any other British mon-
arch. Hergrandfather,KingGeor•ge III.
ascended the throne October 25th, 1760,
and died January 29th, 1820, having
reigned 59 years and 110 days. Tues-
day Queen Victoria had reigned
as long as that. Wednesday night,
she has reitrned 59 yea's and 111 days.
A fact so remarkable in all senses of
the word may well stir the loyalty of
the millions of subjects of the British
Empire. The occasion affords a fitting
opportunity to look back over some of
the events of a reign which has been
as historically interesting as it has
been morally glorious.
There is something in the position of
Queen Victoria as she approaches the
confines of late old age, which deeply
moves the world's imagination. In
all history there has been no such
reign, so long, so little marked by col-
lisions between Sovereign and sub-
jects, so little broken by public calam-
ity or failure of any description.
George III., when he died, had reigned
a few months longer ; but George I1I.,
though at intervals personally popular,
was at war with the majority of his
subjects during the greater par t of his
reign,the advisers he chose for himself,
from Bute to Addington, were usually
inferior men, and he lost by sheer mis-
management the greatest possession
-of the British Crown. The Queen
throughout her reign has lost nothing
which was hers when she ascended the
throne except the seven Greek Islands,
which her people never valued and, in
part no doubt from ignorance, do not
.mise. Her advisers surrendered the
'Transvaal after shedding much blood
for its protection — Isandlana was
fought and lost in protecting the Boers
rather than ourselves—and that sur-
render has turned out disastrous ; but
the Transvaal was no part of the
Queen's hereditary dominion, and the
loss, as Englishmen have reaped the
profit of the gold mines, is trifling
when compared with the total acgiuist-
tions of the reign. Neve Zealand ill the
South Pacific, kingdom after kingdom
in Asia, provinces in Africa whose
vastness Englishmen even now do not
realize,have been added to the Empire,
until the Queen, though she calls her-
self only Empress of India, is practical-
ly also Empress of Alva and of the
Nile. It is, however, when we employ
the terminology used by the diploma-
tists at the Congress of Vienna that
we realize the full degree in which Pro-
vidence has raised Her Majesty's posi-
tion, for under her gentle and toler-
ant rule population has increased even
faster than the area acquired by con-
quest Or settlement, and she probably
reigns to -day over a hundred and
twenty millions more "souls" then
obeyed her, when, as a girl of eighteen,
she first ar:cended the throne, the total
number of her subjeeteno'ir amounting
to four hundred millions, or nearly
one clear fourth of mankind. The
revenue drawn from this vabt multi•
tude is wore than twice the SAID of
which her Majesty's advisers all over
the world disposed in 1837, yet so
lightly does taxation press that there
is no division of the Empire, which is
not far richer, while at home the in-
crease of wealth has been so vast that
the demand of the royal tax -gatherers
may be said to be comparatively un-
felt. We say nothing of the incrertse
of trade, for we cannot admit that ex-
ternal commerce is the best barometer
of a nation's greatness, or that Amer-
ica, France or Russia are so far be-
low England in importance as the re-
turns from their custom -houses would
seem to indicate. We would rather
point to that increase of loyalty which,
hut that the length of the Queen's
reign has nearly killed out the genera-
tions which knew her predecessors,
would seem to all men the most strik-
ing of the political changes that have
'narked the Victorian era. The
Queen has been called upon to sup-
press one insurrection so widespread
and terrible that it threatened for a
moment to terminate her power in
Asia, but it was never from the first
a successful insurrection ; so little was
it universal that during its course her
Majesty never controlled less than one
hundred thousand soldiers, all volun-
teers from awoug the peoples in rebel-
lion; and since its suppression the feel
ing of loyalty to the Crown has wid-
ened and deepened throughout the
Empire, in the white provinces as
well as the brown and black, until it
is difficult to write of it without using
words which seers to savour either of
vaingloriousness or adulation. We
may, however, without. being guilty of
either, declare, what the most Radical
among us would adwit,that the throne
as one of the institutions of the coun-
try was never so safe, and that much
of its new popularity, if in part due to
an access of Imperialist feeling is also
due in part to the deep personal res-
pect which the lady who now occupies
it has inspired., There is no country
within which her face is on the coin
where the news of a real personal mis-
fortune to the Queen, a severe car-
riage accident, for example, would not
he received with a quiver of pain, or
where the man who had attempted to
assassine her would not be over-
whelmed by the curses of the entire
population. There is no corner of
earth within her dominion, or one in
which the English language is spoken,
where the Queen would not be as safe
as within the walls of Windsor.
How much of all this can be fairly
carried to the credit of the Queen ?
No one will be able fully to answer
that question until some flfty years
hence the secret memoirs of this reign
have begun to pour thick and fast up-
on the minds, possibly the slightly be-
wildered minds, of intending histor-
ians. It is one proqf among many
that the Queen has been a good Queen,
that to this day, when she has reigned
so nearly sixty years, her Majesty's
personal seclusion has been maintain-
ed, and she is still to the mass of her
subjects, indeed probably to all except
three or four close relatiyes and
friends, something of a veiled figure.
The veil which shrouds our Monarchy
would not be respected for a week if
the monarch were bad either personally
or politically. Some few facts, how-
ever, may be taken as certain, and are
indeed matters of common knowledge.
The Queen, at flrst through her hus-
band, afterwards in her own strength,
has for the last fifty years exercised
a great influence upon affairs est,ecially
upon foreign politics, has accelerated
or impeded the choice of Ministers, has
been the close confidant of every
Premier, and has on every adequate
occasion exerted the full influence
which must belong, be the Constitu-
tion what it may, to the person who,
being armed with the imprescriptable
and self -derived chars' of the
throne, has the right to compel ell
Ministers and servants to explain
their plans. \Vhen you roust explain
to your wife, your wife has influence,
and t he Queen throughout her reign has
been at least wife to the Ministry of
the day. Yet in all that time no one
can point to an occasion on which the
Queen and her Ministry have been in
collision, or in which she has done any
act over which wise Ministers grieved,
or in which she has in the slightest
degree, we will not say forfeited hut
diminished, the confidence of her
people. Rumor, probably false in
detail, has attributed to the Queen
many preferences fur one Premier over
another, and it is incredible that she
liked theta all equally, but she has in•
variably accepted the Preruier whom
the nation expected her to choose,
and the most malignant of talenion-
gers has never accused the palace of
intriguing against the party in power.
Rumor again, possibly accurate this
time, has attributed to her Majesty
strong pre -possessions as to particular
measures, but can any one point to a
measure, even in relation to the
government of the army—always the
sensitive place in every Sovereign's
mind—which a Ministry has definitely
recommended, and which has not been
carried nut? Doubtless one or two
have been delayed, doubtless, also, the
lines of foreign policy have in one
or two instances been deflected, and
doubtless, also, the Queen has occasion-
ally vetoed a political promotion, but
then that is not resistance, but, only the
influence which the head of the per-
manent service of the state must ne-
cessarily exercise, and, indeed, when
convinced, could hardly fail to exer-
cise without neglect of duty. The
Queen, it must not he forgotten, gov-
erns by taking council and in insist-
ing that that council should be distinct
and intelligible, and should he the re-
sult of strong conviction in the emin-
seller, she does but fulfill the function
which the Constitution, as interpreted
during her reign by a succession of
strong and thoughtful men, has en-
trusted to the throne. it must often, if
the Queen is mortal, has been a misery
to her to find her view rejected, but
whenever the . finistry has been of one
mind she has postponed her own
judgment to theirs, and bas loyally
supported the plan adopted and hoped
for its success. To have played that
part for nearly sixty years in the
midst of persons so greatly differing,
and events many of them so intoler-
ably exciting, seems to us proof aheo-
lute that the Queen, though neither
a "divine" figure nor a woman of
genius, has been adequately equipped
with sense, perception, and nerve for
the immense position she has been
called upon by Providence to fill, a
position, we must add, which would of
itself have turned any but a solid
brain. Just think of the blunders all
living monarchs have made, even
Francis Joseph of Austria, yvhotn men
now account a Nestor, and all the
Premiere of our time, and then reflect
on this reign in which there has never
been a blunder great enough to he per-
ceptible to the million eyes which al-
ways watch at Court. It seems to us
that, wholly apart from the difficult
question of the proper limits of loyalty
to an individual, there is enough in
the known facts to justify all the re-
verence with which the Queen is re-
garded, and which extends far
beyond the limit of her sceptre, wide
as that limit has now become.
Foreigners occupy in many res-
pects the position of poster-
ity, and among foreigners capable of
judging the reverence for the Queen
is at least as great as in England, her
opinion when known to foreign Courts
weighing at least as heavily as it does
with her own Ministers. That is due,
say several of our contemporaries this
week, to the intermarriages which
have made her Majesty the common
ancentress in so marry Courts, in every
Court, indeed, not strictly Catholic,
and no doubt the strange position of
the Queen in that respect is one rea-
son for the special honour in which
she is held a)n•oad ; but it is not the
principal one. Relatives can hate one
another very hard, and the Queen is
as greatly respected in Washington or
New York as in Berlin or St. Peters-
burg. Her Majesty is great because
her reign has been great, great in its
enterprises, great in its successes,
great above all, in that compatibility
which, owing mainly to the character
of the Sovereign, it has shown to be
lipossible between a more than Repub-
can freedom and Monarchical insti-
tutions. The British Empire is the
greatest object -lesson ever given to
the world to show that a state can
enlarge its borders without living un-
der tyranny and without universal
military service.
EARLY LIFE.
The Queen was born on May 24th,
1819, at Kensington palace,and was the
only child of the Duke of Kent, fourth
son of George III. There seemed little
chance at that time of her ascending
the throne, but all her father's elder
brothers eventually died childless.
Her portraits show, among other
things, that the Queen was a singular-
ly pretty child, and had more than
average good looks as a young woman.
At the age of nine, according to Wil-
liam Fowler's portrait,, she was an
ideal of a certain type of childish beau-
ty. That this is not an artist's flattery
of his Royal patrons seems to be
proved by the fact that all the like-
nesses of this period by different art-
ists agree closely. The Duke of Kent
is on record as calling his daughter
"plump as a partridge," His affection
for her had a curious connection with
his death. He came home with wet
feet, and,instead of changing his shoes,
went into the nursery to play with her,
and, in consequence, caught cold and
died.
At five years the Princess Victoria is
described as having "a countenance
which bespeaks perfect health and good
temper." She had fair hair and com-
plexion and very large eyes. She used
to ride a donkey "gaily caparisoned
with blue ribbons in Kensington gar-
dens, and would accost passers-by with
'How do you do?' and 'Good morn-
ing.' At the age of twelve she learned
that she was heir to the throne, and,
according to "The People's Life of
Their Queen," by the Rev. E.J. Hardy,
she made this solemn and remarkable
utterance:—"Now many a child would
boast, not knowing the difficulty.
There is much splendour, hut there is
more responsibility." Then she put her
little hand into that of her teacher and
said :—"I will be good 11 will be good I"
Little Victoria was truthful, and al-
ways ready to acknowledge a fault.
Her tastes were so simple that when
once she was asked what refreshments
she would like during a change of
horses, she replied, "A small piece of
stale bread."
The Duchess of Kent trained her
daughter very thoroughly. She was
careful that she should appear very
seldom at the court of her uncle,George
1V. One of the effects of her mother's
training was the simplicity in dress
which has always characterized her.
She was eighteen years old when she
became Queen by the death of Wil-
liam IV.,on June20, 1837. Atthat titne
she was a very sweet -looking young
woman, with very fair hair, large blue
eyes, and rosy cheeks, easily blushing
Above all, her appearance was fresh
and wholesome. Old Mr. Greville says
that she blushed with embarrassment
when her elderly uncles had to kneel
and swear allegiance to her on her ac-
cession.
Writing of the Queen's voice as she
heard it at the coronation, Fanny
Kerehle says :
"The enunciation was as perfect, as
the intonation was melodious, and I
think it impossible to hear a more ex-
cellent utterance than that of the
Queen's English by the English Queen."
With her coronation robes she wore
the insignia of the Order of the Garter,
the highest order of knighthood in
England. There was some doubt as to
where the garter should be worn. The
left arm was finally decided on. Her
portrait at the time of the coronation
indicates a steadily increasing plump-
ness. it is also remarkable for the
way the hair is done, in long plaits,
covering the side of the face. Her
marriage followed within a few years.
Not only reasons of State required it,
but she was a normal and affectionate
young woman, and felt the need of a
hnshand. She was fortunate in find-
ing in her cousin, Prince Alpert of
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, one who was ac-
ceptable to the country. and wham she
herself loved. The Queen had to pro-
pose to her husband. Once she asked
him if he liked England, and he said
"Very much." "Then why should you
ever leave it?" she asked. By little en-
quiries of this kind she nscertained the
state of his feelings, and finally made
a declaration She told hint that he
would make her intensely happy if he
would sacrifice himself and share his
life with her. The Queen and Prince
Consort bad a honeymoon of three
days. There were many uncomfort-
able features at first about the latter's
position. The law gave him no exact
social precedence. Lord Albemarle,
Master of the Horse, maintained that
he had the ril�gght to sit in the Queen's
carriage on State occasions and not
the Prince Consort. The Duke of Wel-
lington, however gave his opinion that
the Queen could put Lord Albemarle
where she liked—either on top of the
coach or beneath it, or anywhere else.
The Queen took wonderful care of her
beloved husband, whom she was to
lose so early.
MARRIED LIFE.
The Royal marriage and the happy
married years ensuing for a while
made the heavy circlet of empire light-
er on that most gr&,cious and noble
brow. The Princess Royal was born
((since, in her own exalted turn, an
Empress and a widow), and a year
later the birth of the Prince of Wales
rejoiced the whole country. The Queen
then, as always, possessed two Em-
pires, that of Great Britain and of her
own household, and a month after the
coming of the Heir Apparent she
wrote to King Leopold of Belgium :—
"1 wonder very much who my little
boy will be like. You will understand
how fervent were my prayers --and I
ani sure everybody must he—to see
him resemble his father in every re-
spect, both in body and mind We
must all have trials and vexations; but
if one's home is happy, then the rest is
comparatively nothing. My happiness
at home, and the love of my husband,
his kindness, his advice, his support,
his company, snake up for all."
See how the Queen loved and loves
that thoroughly English word "home,"
—the secret of the story of nation and
sovereign alike! Its utmost meaning
is not felt or known by those who
translate it into "chez lui" or "chez
moi," and it tends to evaporate in re-
gions where life is carried on in flats
and hotels. Climate and the English
instiuct for isolation have had some-
thing to do with the intensity of senti-
ment which has come to cluster round
the word; but that word is the roost
truly English and the niost significant
of all in our dictionary, so that Shake-
speare could find no better one for
heaven when he wrote :—
"Thou thy worldly task has done,
Home are gone, and taken thy wages."
"Leaves from the Journal of Our
Life in the Highlands," and "More
Leaves from the Journal of Our Life
in the Highlands," two books written
and published by the Queen, make us
acquainted with the home life of the
illustrious lady who has just left us.
It is almost impossible to open these
books anywhere without finding play-
ful but solid manifestations of those
two feelings forever governing her
Majesty's great and generous heart.—
the love of home, and the love of her
people. There befalls no disaster to
the alining or industrial classes; no
dreadful wrecks at sea; no sad railway
accident on hand; no striking sorrow;
no sudden public loss—but a motherly
love of the Queen is promptly shown
in tender and graceful words of
pity and sympathy which she knows
so well how to employ; and many a
sorrowful soul has been thus comfort-
ed. For her army and her navy,
when ever and wherever they serve
herself and the country, her solicitude
is, and bas ever been, intense and vigi-
lant. A thousand instances miglit be
adduced of this, which needs indeed
no other proof than the ardent loyalty
of those who—from the barracks to the
field-mar•shall's tent, from the fore-
castle to the admiral's cabin—wear
"the widow's uniform." Is it thought
that such an influence must be senti-
mental only? In truth it is a force,
and has been a force, like that of a
great military leader's personal pres-
ence. When in 1853, •her Majesty's
heart was weighed down with anxiety
for her soldiers in the Crimea, -who
were severely suffering, it was her own
hand which wrote ag:lin and again to
headquarters directing or suggesting
atueliorations. And when Lord Rag-
lan was leaving Windsor to return to
his command in the Crimean camp, it,
is reported that one of the little
princesses said to hits: "You must
hurry hack to S.ihasLopol, please, Lord
Raglan, and take it, or mamma will
die of her anxiety." Not merely in
name has our Sovereign Lady been
commander-in-chief of the naval and
military forces of the realm. We
have watched with amusement and
admiration before now, at a levee in
the palace, some general officer of
proud renown and superb warlike ac-
hievments crumpling up his white
gloves into a boll, and nervously fidget -
ting from head to foot, with a tremor
never felt in the presence of Death or
of the enemy, as his turn came to
pass the barrier and he announced by
the Lord Chamberlain to his military
superior, her Majesty the Queen.
We doubt if a better proof could be
furnished of this wide and compre-
hensive royal interests in all her su•
sets than the fact—slight but sign'
cant that the Queen should have set
herself to learn Hindostani, the lan-
guage of her Indian people, and should
have so mastered it, as to he able to
read and write, as well as to converse
in, this lingua franca of the Oriental
Peninsula.
There would he risk of being sus-
pected of exaggeration if we attempt-
ed to say how widely this mark of sin-
cere sympathy and concern has affected
the princes and the people of India.
The Mohammedans, especially, of
whom the Queen rules more than sixty
millions, and to whom Hindostani as a
tongue particularly belongs, have
heard with delight and pride of the
Dairy which her Majesty keeps in
Urdu, and at this day the Maharani,
the Kaiser -i -Hind, the Adhirajni--
"Victoria the Empress."—is for the
mass of her subjects in India a power,
an influence, absolutely immeasurable
for service of peace and obedience, al-
most touching, among the reverential
and susceptible Hindoos, the region of
the gods.
The heart of gold, the will of iron,
the royal temper of steel, the pride,
patriotism, and the deep piety of Vic-
toria have been enshrined in a small
but vigorous frame, thn mignonne as-
epect of which especially strikes those
who behold her for the first time in
these her "chair -days." It was re-
ported how, when Prince Albert was
dying, he roused himself for a period
of wandering to turn with ineffable
lame- to his spouse and Sovereign, say-
ing to her with a kiss "Good little
wife!" And when the Prince Con-

sort was actually passing away, after
those twenty-one years of wedded
happiness, it was told how the Queen
bent over him, and whispered, "It is
your little wife," at which last words
the Angel of Death stayed his hand
while once again the dear eyes open-
ed and the dying lips smiled. But
though this be so, no one who has
been honored by near approach to
her Majesty, or has ever tarried in her
presence. will fail to testify to the ex-
treme majesty of her bearing, mingl-
ed always with the most perfect grace
and geotleness. Her voice has, more-
over, always been pleasant and musical
to hear, and is so now. The hand
which holds the sceptre of the seas
is the softest that can be touched ;
the eyes which have grown dim with
labors of state for England, and with
too frequent tears, are the kindest
that can be seen. Not for a day nor
for an hour did the Queen ever sus-
pend the performance of her royal
and imperial duties during the many
sorrows which fell upon her, nor in a
comparative seclusion which she some-
times kept. The Duke of Argyll truly
wrote once:—
"It ought tojbe known to all people of
this country that during all the years
of the Queen's affliction, and those
when she has lived necessarily in much
retirement. she has omitted no part
or portion of that public duty which
constantly concerns her as sovereign
of this country; that in no occasion
during her grief has she discontinued
work in those royal labors which be-
long to her exalted positions."

A Wonderful Institution.
Amongst the wonderful institutions
of this country the Fancily Herald and

really remarkable. Nobody, whoever

up the Family Herald and Weekly Star
and inspect its one hundred and twenty-
eight columns every week withont ex-
claiming out of sincerest admiration
that the paper is really a marvel. The
Family Herald and Weekly Star of
Montreal is known far and wide, not
only in Canada, to its very remotest
hamlet, but throughout the United
States and Great Britain, and what
makes patriotic Canadians so pleased
with it is that English people as well as
American look upon the Fancily Herald
and Weekly Star as a wonder, and the
colony that produces and supports it
as being One of immense vitality.

It is well that every one should
know that Paine's Celery Compound
is not an ordinary patent medicine
such as the nervines, sarsaparillas,
bitters and other liquid concoctions
now so extensively advertised in every
direction. Paine's Celery Compound
is as far beyond these common pre-
parations as the diamond is superior
to cheap glass.
Paine's Celery Compound possesses
extraordinary virtues and powers for
health giving and life lengthening. It
is as harmless as it is good, and is the
only medicine that the best medical
men recommend with confidence.
Professor Edward E. Phelps, M. D., its
discoverer, gave this marvellous
medicine to his profession as a positive
cure for sleeplessness, nervousness,
wasting strength, dyspepsia, bilious-
ness, liver complaint, neuralgia,
rheumatism, and kidney troubles; and
since its introduction to the public,
hundreds of thousands on this contin-
ent have been raised from sickn s to

so highly honored and recommended,
because none ever accomplished so
