SKETCH OF THE CHARACTER OF QUEEN VICTORIA.

On the 18th, the Queen, accompanied by her mother, left the old home at Ken-

ham palace. [It was the middle of the day ; and crowds were waiting to cheer her on ber way to her regal home.

Laura was scarcely out of danger, when the fearful scourge was sweeping over the plantation its fury ; and for pity’s sake the traveller delayed his depariure, that the power of salt and pepper might be arrayed against the cholera. He went from shantee to shantee by night and by day, as sole physician of the estate, since the major would not entrust the shabdbiest of his stock to the regular faculty. And jt must be said in favour of salt and pep- per, that not a single death occurred where the compound was administered in due time. Nota slave holder in Vir- ginia escaped with so Iittle loss among his dark cattle, as did Major Carroll. But the tune at length arrived when Raipl: Brown would stay no longer. Laura was evidently distressed at his departure.— her cheeks were diffused and her long dark eye-lashes wet with tears, when she reached out her yale sjim hand, al) trem- ulous from a heart incommotion, to bid him farewell. Kalph felt the ventle tre- mor like electricity through his frawe; but both were silent.

‘The Major followed the Pedler into the hall, and said ‘1 know not how to express wy gratitude, Mr. Brown.’

‘Never mind, major, interrupted Ralph: -—-‘no soft sawder. flere, 1 want to leave a draught of two thousand dollars with you on Richmond Bank. If the hucker turns out bad, and you wani to use the trifle, go it, major.’
