Queen Victoria was only eighteen when she became Queen, and she was eighty-one when she died. At the two Jubilees the carriages of the Queen, with all the gorgeous attendants and outriders, formed a group outside the great west door of St.
These two last feasts would consume not less than sixty-five days of time not otherwise reckoned. Thus it appears that those persons who continued servants during the whole period between the jubilees, were by law released from their labor, TWENTY-THREE YEARS AND SIXTY-FOUR DAYS, OUT OF FIFTY YEARS, and those who remained a less time, in nearly the same proportion.
While they were having jubilees, festivities, and war dances over these scalps of the Wenebagoes, in the dead of winter, the tribe of Michilimacki- nawgoes, the remnant race of Indians who resided at the Island now called Mackinac, whose fate has been given in a previous chapter, were destroyed.
All the rest of the year she worked hard in the city. She put a good face upon it in her talk among her old neighbors. She spoke of the grand streets, the parades, Duke's balls, for which she made dresses, and jubilees, of which she heard afar off, as if she were part and parcel of all Boston enterprise and magnificence. It was a great thing, truly, to live in the Hub.
Combermere walked rather solemnly that morning from her house to the Cathedral. In spite of the lovely morning she was feeling suddenly old. Things like Jubilees do date you no doubt about it. Nearly fifty. Three- quarters of life behind her and what had she to show for it?
The spirit of the place requires them, as much as the captives who came in the triumphs, as the Goths and Huns, as the pilgrims of the Mediæval Jubilees, and it subdues them: subdues them, as it subdues with the chemistry of this odd climate of crumble and decay, the new dreadful houses; as it has made, with the marvellous rank Roman vegetation, a sort of Forum or Palatine of the knocked-down modern houses, the empty unfinished basements behind the hoardings under my window.
Who was the "Native of New England" is a secret, and well it is, for in 1727 he graced his title-page with this poem: Man that Noble Creature, Scanted of time, and stinted by Weak Nature, That in foretimes saw jubilees of years, As by our Ancient History appears; Nay, which is more, even Silly Women then, Liv'd longer time than our grave Graybeard Men. "Graced," did I say?
At such jubilees, jubilees of which no individual sees more than one, it is natural, and it is good, that a society like this, a society which survives all the transitory parts of which it is composed, a society which has a corporate existence and a perpetual succession, should review its annals, should retrace the stages of its growth from infancy to maturity, and should try to find, in the experience of generations which have passed away, lessons which may be profitable to generations yet unborn.
Such jubilees were called "Land jewels." From the amusements of a people may be gathered much that is necessary for a proper estimation of its character.
Countries in which Bahá’ís reside now aggregate over one hundred fifty. Over seventy have been added in the course of the nine years separating the first and second Jubilees.
