THEABE BEE PUBLISHER. R.8. PELTON,» MAY 29, 1891. FRIDAY, The Queen's Birthday. Queen Victoria _w was 72 years old Monday, and in a few weeks more she will complete the 54th year of her long Telgn. Other English sovereigns have ruled afew years longer, and under others there have been brilliant achieve- mentsin arms, in diplomacy and in letters; but taking length of years and brilliancy of achievement together, the Victorian age can perhaps be fitly com- pared only with the last halt of the six- teenth century. ‘The earlier period, be- cause of the towering supremacy of one or two of its great names, must be regarded as the Augustan age of Eng- lish literature; but no other half cen- tury but that of Elizabeth can surpass that which has given us such poets as ‘vennysou and Browning, and historians as Macauly, Grote aud Froude, Greene and Leckie, such profound thinkers up- on moral and social topics as Mill, Rus- kin and Carlyle, such novelists as ‘Dick- ens, Thackeray and George Eliot. -\frica has been to modern travellers a fascinating field for exploration, and their heroic deeds remind us of the time three hundred years ago when “the dar- ing of the bucaneers broke through the vale which the greed of Spain had drawn Columbus.” ‘There are English divines‘on both sides of the "oy whose names are not un~ science, of scientific speculation an achievement, the las years are so Yar in advance of any other period in history that a ot is impossible. ‘The age hasnot been remarkable for feats of arms or triumphs of foreign peas but in it the progress of the sritish people has been truly marvellous in the arts of peace,in commerce and Inanufactures, and the growth of free- dom in political institutions has been steady and rapid. The franchise has been broadened until it closely approx- imates manhood suffrage; and the re- peal of the Corn Laws was the begin- ning of an emancipation of trade which has resulted in a prodigious growth of British commerce and indus- try, and in a vast improvement in the comfort of the great massof the Eng- lish people. In this part of the Em- re the reign of Queen Victoria has sven almost heli age with our en- joymentot the boon of responsible government; but we have picked up ind fastened upon our trade the shack- les which the Mother Country cast off jears ago, while the freedom of our in- stitutions is lessened by corruption and by practices which inthe older land would not be tolerated for an hour. over the English-speaking world there have been upheavals and workings in the social fabric bok sages seem to show that it is about to take on anew form; the growth of great poe and of great individual ee ae bding — continual strife between la au capital. Thespirit of inquiry, anxiety and unrest have been felt in all the churches; but in all this the most strik- ing as wellas the most hopeful sign has been the steady effort to reyive the simplicity and earnestness of Christian- ity and its fitness to the needs of the time. In the history of the period over which we have glanced, the Queen her- self has not been as conspicuous a fig- ureas some of her predecessors nave been in the history of earlier times; but her petted pt haga duties have been performed with fidelity and with dig- nity. She has established and main tained in her court a tradition of aus- tere purity; and in her private life she has set an example of admirable faith und affection in the domestic relations, of charity to the poor, and of the right bi uy great wealth and high station.— 110 IN MEMORIAM.
