A Picture of Queen Victoria and the
Royal Family.
Rev. II. Uaylics, who is writing a series
cf letters from L'ngland to tho Zion's Her
ald, draws tho following picturo of Queen
Victoria and tho royal family, which dif
fers materially from tho roso-colorod por
traits that me generally presented ol her
Majesty. The picturo was taken ut the
Ascot Races. It is well the artist delayed
d.-awin.! it until aft?r he as oil' of Rritibb
soil, lie snys :
;Unving been disappointed by a slow
train in reaching tho place in season to
sec the Queen and her husband and chil..
dren finer, 1 determined to get ns near
her Majesty as possible, and succeeded in
getting into aMiiall enclosure just in fiont
of her stand, which enclosure, I have rea
son to think from a notice, was designed
only for "tho members of tho Joekney
Club' It was a very good place, howev
er, and fornn hour or two I had the most
favorable opportunity of look in" nt ninl
quizzing tho Queen, Prince Albert, l'rinco
of Wales, Princesses Alice and Helen and
Louise, together with her Royal Highness,
Hie Duchess of Cambridge, tho Count of
Flanders, Prince Louis of IIcsj ; in all,
cloven carriage lends of royalty und no
bility. l'rinco Albert is a good, wide nake,
sensible looking man, familiar and c.vv,
and fit for a husband to a queen, which
he is, and only is. l'rinco ot Wales is n
boat It, of light complexion and rather
eparo ; looks like a fair, sensible senior in
college, and will graduate at Oxford some
time in June. Tho Princesses resemble
very strongly the Princa of Wales, und
aie noi especially noticeable lor beauty;
indeed, I should not have looked at them
a single niiiiuto were they not daughters
of tho throne. As to tho other persona,
ges, I saw nothing that would attract at
tention. There were a thousand on the
field better looking, and lo all appearan
ces equally sensible. I suppose il does
not reqtliro much senso to patronize horso
racing, does it V Well, what of tho Queen ?
I am not in England, and so 1 may speak.
Understand, I was within from twenty to
sixty feet cf her more than an hour, look
ing with my own natural eyes, nnd with
tho samo eyes a .sistcd by powerful raco
gksses, which I boirowod. Lot mo say
then as I thin:.
lieforo I express my thinkings, howev
er, let mo remind you th.it verv recently
the Queen refused to sit for a likeness to
nn American artist, becauso sho said her
time L fully employed. That is not tlio
reason, as youVill miess. Queon Victo

is not good looking even, nrcordiiif; to my
taste. That kissablo little mouth ycii
lc.'.vo seen in her portraits was borrowed,
Tor it ii not in her face. Her mouth is
ralhnr drawn nt tlio coiners, and arched
in the middle. 1 1 r complexion is that 1

Love itself is the greatest stimulant the

oiaie uio lirst two has been snmll. Tl.n

senting as few sharp corners ind ns many
smooth surfaces ns could reasonably have
been e.xp ectod : nnd if Ibn a-ml .ii'a
hard work living," have been echoed no-v i comes out and takes bin position, ready to
and then, tho prevailing and almost uin-''-'0 his duly when called upon by tho ma
slant sentiment hns been: "Tho world ! chinery. As soon as tho old man Im
is inn ol beauty and love." Of course,
when one's on good terms with society,
there is but littlo inducement to spend
one's breath in circulating ill reports.
As lo the last resolution there nro tran
sition years, when it requho somo little
heroism for a women, especially nn un
married one, acknowledge her ago. To
render a sufficient reason for this may bo
dillicult ; let it be set down to the account
oi vanity, .but w hen ono has succeeded
fairly in weathering this stormy capo, tho
navigation is plain once more. "It is
more bleskod to be npproaohins ago than
to be receding from youth," somo one
has said : and truly in some caes lo say,
"I am loily-eiglit," than it was to say, "1
am thirty ihre." Ono even comes to
hear the once dreaded term "old maid"
a; plied to herself with perfect equanimity
The Tords trike the car, but carry no
thrill to the heart. Tho lino woman feels
that she can Bland on her own rcspectibil
ty, Miongh sho stand alone. Had she in
liictod a wound'ou thu holy estate of
matrimony," that relation, more frequent
ly abided, perhaps, thou any other of
God s blessed fift" had she done this, by
giving her hand without the pure oll'cring
of tho heait, tho mi-ht, well f. el that she
had taken nstep downward. Rut stand
ing in the unity in which (!;-d created her,
she can wrap the rmintlo of her own self
respect about her, and whilo she ncknow
ea that many a sister woman has in her,
keej in;; holy and beautiful trecurcs which
she b.-w not, sho will feel I hat, by the
laithlul dishargo nf her own duties, she
also perform,; a. perfect work in tho world
Many and sacred may be her tics to earth

"Gales from heaven, if so he will.
