Queen ; Victoria's Children.
The Queen of England : may not be a grea
sovereign, but she undoubtedly deserves the
higher praise of being a true woman. Con4id
eringthe'forice which is added to her exam
ple-by herexaited position, it: can hardly be
doubted that she'‘confers a greatesjenefa. on
her subjects by the model she. exhibits Of all
thewomanly domestic virtues than would re=
suit from . drat carcity for:affairs of State,—
The Torb - iWo Globe has taken pains to collect
from the English papers tin'account of the
manner the Queen brings
: up her children,
from which we make the following extraot
betimes, that the, young people brpkfast at
eight ar4_-_ditte at one ; which- hours some,
peOPle think decidedly vulgar. During the
4orenoon they are kept to their books.—Then .
the boys_ are drilled in--military exercises.
the girls, we suppose, practice caliSthen ,
-ice. After• this.they have , arr hour - of music
and dancing; - By'this time - dinner-is -ready_ .
-and-when4ts-toils are Arntounted, the_ehild
rod go to riding school, from 'which they pro
ceed, the princesses- to drawing_ and music, ,
'and the priuees to a carpenter's shop, where
they hammer and saw, arid turn, till "IG --- Cy are
tired, after which they oconsiogly spend some
,time in the laboratory fitted up for their peon
liar'use. The school is now ended, and while
the girls go 'out to 'play or ride, the boys go
out to walk, play, ride, or sheet, till tea , time.
Then comes the preparations for the leSsons
tomorrow, and then to bed. Such, according
tmthe English papers, is the daily life of the
Queen's childrtn ; and' when we add that,
morning an& evening, they are trained in the
truths of religion, Ivo believe, we have before
us the fact that. the first family' im.the empire
is regulated in a fission, it were well for. a
good tiffany - Other families if they would but
"imitate." •
