INTRODUCTION, WHICH IHl-. RliADKK IS CORDIALLY INVIIFD NOT TO SKIP. I OVA SCOTIA! Nova Scotia! Nova Scotia! Not a word have I heanl from you people since you got I back, but Nova Scotia ! " i i j b i I said this possibly with some httle display of pique, for my friends had been bac k from their vacation for n.ore than a week ; and they haere is so much history in that ccintry. There is old .\nnapolis that was full of houses and people before Boston had been drt. , med oi. And it's such romantic history, too ; almost every town has its old fort and its old block house, .vhere \'.i Kngll^h and the French and tlie Indians were cutting one another's throats for a matter of a hundred and fifty vear-s. Lon.7fe"ovv uiad- ; greai hit with ins Evangeline, but there's plenty of other material just as good lying around every- vlicre. " Sixth : And tlien it's a complete change. You've done the Adirondacks and the White Mountains, and Old Orchard Beac'.i, and Narragar >.ett, till you could find your way around any of them, backward, blindfoldeil, at midnight. You want something new. Now, if there's anything newer than Nova Scotia, I don't know what it is. Tlie novelty begins the minute you start ; for, instead of the hot and dusty rail, you have a delightful ocean voyage. Then it's a foreign country, too ; and when you return, you can tell your friends that you've been abroad. "Sev..nt'' : And the inexpensiveness of it all. That's a good, cogent reason— or ought to be — with every sensible man. It costs less than ten tlollars to get to Yarmouth and back, on the finest boat that leaves Boston Harbor ; and after you once get in Nova Scotia, you can live at tiie best hotels, wherever you go, for a dollar and a half to two dollars and a half a day ; and if you stay a week, they'll only charge you from seven to twelve dollars ; and if times have been so hard with you that you can't afford this enormous figure, there are plenty of cosy little boarding-houses that will welcome you with open arms at your own price. ^*,1 m fe I' t '• Kiglith " — " That will do," I cxdaiir.cd ; "that's enough. I haven't time to listen to the other.:; 1 i)a(:k up immediately for Nova Scotia." And 1 did. Instead of taking my vacation on the old beaten groimds, I went to Nova Scotia; and when I came back, I was pronounced worse than those who had i)rece(led me. I t;ilked of nothing else to everyone 1 met, till finally a good- humored friend, half in jest and two-tliirds in earnest, and very largely in self-defence, broke out, "Say, see here, what makes you waste all this? Why don't you write a l)ook?" It cawie to me like an inspiration ; and I i'ave written a liook. A little one, to lie sure ; but still, if anyone wants to know Where the most delightful, the most satisfying, the most completely filling vacation land in all the world is to be found, and would like a few helpful hints ;;iid serviceable suggestions born of personal experience, I am so immodest as to believe that the few succeeding pages may be of interest to him.

HE f.rst .luestimi that arises, in starting for Nova Scotia on a vacation tri;,, is how to get there This is a (luestion not at ail .lifficult to answer. In fact, nature seems to have answere.l this herself. For if you will look upon the map. you will notice t!,at one en.l of that most pleasing pro-ince has been thrust right down towards Hoston, as it to make it as invitmg and as accessible to the overwo.ke.l and weary people of New England as possible. It is always a good plan to begin every undertaking at the beginning, an.l a tour of Nova S,:otia <-an with great propriety be begun at the beginning. This, as you will see, glancing again at the map. is Yarmouth. It is the nearest point in the province, — in truth " the gateway," as it has long been called. The desu'ability of going to this point first is greatly in- creased by the fact, that the best coasting beats that leave Hoston s, YARMOUTH LIGHT. harbor arc those that ply between that city and the city of Yarmouth. They are two in number, the " Boston " and the " Yarmouth," and thc-y are both as staunch and strong as anything that floats. One has travelled back and forth betwetii these points only two seasons, while tiio other is some four years older in this laudable work. They are steel steameis, built on the famous Clyde, in Scotland, where the best ooats are built. I'he "Boston" has a keel two hund'-ed and forty- five feet long, and is thirty-five feet abeam. She has a triple-expansion engine of four thousand horse-power, and lluee double boilers and two smoke-stacks, so that she would be still able to go ahsail, even if an accident were to hapi)en to any part of her machinery. Her speed is seventeen to eighteen knots an '.our. The "Yarmouth" is a trifle smaller than tile " Boston," but eijually staunch and svvift and seaworthy. IJoth boats have some eighty staterooms which are handsomely fitted up in every particular, lighted with electricity, and ecjuippe^l with every convenience 'hat the newest and most expensive boats can nave. Both have large and commodious dining-rooms on the main leek and saloons for general use, snaUer cabins set apprt as receptior-rooms for the ladies, and smoking-rooms for the gentlemen ; and ail of these apartments are finished in mahogany and upholstered in Jtrecht velvet. They are said by experienced travellers to be altogether the finest boats that put out from Boston with the possible exception of one (jr two of the larger European steamers. It is a very interesting sight to drop down to Lewis Wharf at noon on the sailing days, when these steamers are starting out with their burden of vacationists for Nova Scotia. There are just as many friends to see the voyagers off, and as many lingering goodbyes, as if the voyage were to Liverpool, instead of a seventeen-hour voyage to Yarmouth ; for an ocean sail is an o'.:ean sail, antl a foreign lami is a foreign lanil, however far or liowevtr near. The pleasure of witnessing the starting of one of these boats, however, is a very mild sort of enjoyment, compared with the pleasure of participating therein, — of being yourself one of the happy voyagers. For the first hour after leaving the dock, your attention will naturally be engrossed with the sights of Boston harbor ; a beautiful harbor, with much to see. There are the forts, oKi Independence, formidable Warren, and the others ; the green islands with their various 8 ^S' 'I i" and the ■th betwetii ameis, built ana forty- , and three ) happen to ifle smaller which are the newest saloons for and all of •d travellers tlic larger toamers are oyagers off, Yarmouth ; t, compared ifter leaving til much to icii various r^ cr^-i • li.|Woasea{Joiiit])rinijl)ifl|)y &^^.

I5ut the <-Ho.ton" and the "Yarmouth" are speedy craft and one docs not have nn.ch tinK. to linger over the passing show. He is soon down past the lighthouse, with Nantlsket taduig away at the south, and Nahant melting away in the west. Then comes dinner. The dinner that is provided on these excellent steamers makes one exceedinglv regret that the next tnornin.. wh see hun at the end of his voyage, and that no repetition of that most generous an.l appetising meal is to l. enjoyed. If yon have been to lOurope on any of the ocean greyhounds, you know how well thev treat you at the chmier table. And yet the stewards of many a European steamer might receive profitable instructions fro.n th ■ ././. oi the \armouth boats. They are masters of their art. The minute dinner is finished, you will of course be on deck again .; a'nd the next ten hours, if vou have anythin.^ like the good fortune that I had. will be hours of uninterrupted delight. Some very kin.i friends, on being informed that 1 was gomg to Varmonth. ^■ouchsa^e.l the |.leasing prophecy that I would be deathly sick. I feared myself tint I m.ght, bemg but an iu.lifferent sailor; but both the prophec-y and the fear were as remote from realisation as the north IS from the south. A calmer sea and a more unruffled sail could not be imagined. One could have paddled across in a canoe, as tar as the condition of the water was concerned. "Do vou often have a sea like this- I asked of the captatn. "We've had six weeks of it," he replied. Of course, no UKxn is vain enough to attempt to pred.ct the condition of the ocean months ahead; but if the afternoon of my trip was a fair sample of six continuous weeks. I can .ounneud the Varn)outh sail to the most delicate ami susceptible of people. If they are seasick, it is because thev have other provocation than the motion of the boat. Notwithstanding the generous attention that one is provoked to offer to the .iinner. he finds at th-^ tinklin^ of the supper bell that he again enjoys his appetite imimpaired ; for the salt breezes of the ocean are ^reat appetizers, "I'.ut let no vo\ager linger too long at the table, lest he nnss the sunset. lO y Now, u .s not nn intuu.on ,., .losrnbe a sunset at sea. It i.as hccn attenM-tcl bv a nun.hcr of people, nnh the most .Itsmal failure. I thought at first, when the sun began to near the water's edge, and grow big and golden, that I should cert.inly have to write something about it; I.u as the great ball of fire dipp.l into the water, and the clouds along the horuon one after another took fire, burning from bla.ing . d to deeper crimson, then turning to purple an.l as the sun disappeared from sight, falling away into dull gray, like great heaps of ashes, I imn.e.liatelv made up my nunc! that when the Almighty paints a sunset upon the celestial canvas of mingled sky and sea, dipping tlte brush into the fire and the gold of the declining sun, it is not for puny man to attempt its description. It is sacrilege, for one thine. • and t- r another, ,t is nnposs.ble. I never saw but one thing in all rny life that equalled that sunset, -and that was the sun.iet ot the return trip. Vou are likely to prolong the evening on deck as far as possible, enjoying the starlight and the phosphorescence of the waves, so that when you do finally nestle into your luxurious berth, vou- will sleep like a log. Vou will be lucky m flxct, if yot, wake up in tin,e to see the N armouth lighthouse, with its great, broad, perpendicular stripes of white and' red.

It " he choose, fishing, too ; smell, if he y is a great lishmg centre; they send out from here every year vast quantities of cod and haddock, and halibut, and lobsters and that exceedingly delicate kind of fish, with which most New Englanders are entirely unacquainted, the finnan ha'ddie. I here .s also shooting in this vicinity, of a character to please the most ardent sportsman. One can in the .season - that is, in the foil, an.l in the winter, if he chooses to take a winte-. . i -get all the partridges in a day that he can carry ; and snipe, and teal, and woodcock, and rabbits, and foxes, to say nothing of an occasional moose, and now and then a wildcat. Digby Neck is full of these things. Not to take a drive while in Digby is distinctly to neglect one of its greatest attractions. The six-mile drive down to Point Prim Lighthouse, at the west of Digby Gap, is one full of delight from beginning to end; for one is eve- catching a glim])se of the waters through the trees. And the lighthouse itself, the breeziest place along the shore, is well worth a visit. Then there is the drive into Acacia Valley, the daintiest little dream of a place, a valley in miniature ; an.l the still longer drive down Digby Neck, or to Weymouth, or up along the Basin to Annapolis. ]!ut one cannot stay at D.gby forever-at least, not in this flying trip that we are taking. The railroad rid-^ from Digby ^.o Annai)olis is one to bring out all the latent enthusiasm in one's being. You get into Digby over one curved b.i.lge, you get out of it o.er four. Long after one has left the little village, he continues to skirt around capes and promontories, from which, across the waters of the Basin, he still sees Digby beckoning him back. The views along this rule are exceeding.) distracting, annany cuts that 19 pi k I m •M V it is a iKirticularly expensive i.ie<:e of railway, costing, in fact, .onsi.lerably over lialf a million .lollars. The shore is snnply a series of indentations. As a wag, sitting at my side, remarked, 'This road has more wind than a Waterbi.ry watch." You begin now to notice the apple orchards, for of course everybody knows that the finest apples in the world come from Nova Scotia ; and even if yon weary of watching the ever-extending rows of trees, the scarlet and crimson fruit flaming like fire ami.l the dark green leaves, there is always the beautiful Basin, which you will perceive, as you journey up the shore, changing its color fronwa .lark blue to a sombre red : and over beyond that, always pushing on ahead as far as one can see, rises great North Mountum. Here, also, on. first begins to notice the dykes, which are built along the shore of the Basin uiul by the banks o( the contributory streams, sin.tting out the tide from the meadow lands, and giving the farmer a soil of such richness thai he has little to do but sit around while Nature does the work, and tiien in the autumn go out and gather the harvest.

'I' is witli no shght feeling of awe that one approaches the second oldest town upon the American continent, — for such is Annapolis. This feeling of awe, however, is mellowed considerably by the resonant ( langor of the dinner !)cll that greets our approach to this ancient and most interesting municipality. It is a welcome sound, however, for one cannot live entirely on scenery antl sentiment. The vigor with which the bells are rung indicates that the good ])cople in tlie vicinity of the iitation, manifesting a hospitality which one will fuid everywhere in the province, do not intend that die itinerant stranger from "the States" shall go unfed. .After dinner, one starts forth to see the town. The first sjK)t whiih everyone visits is the old fort, which is still in a sufficient state of preservation to con^^'ey a fair idea of its departed glory. One still has to walk across a britlge over the old moat to get within the earthworks. There he will find the old officers' (piarters, now inhaulted by the dusky care-takers whose ancestors doubtless came many years ago from Br.rbadoes. There, too, is the old annapolis river French magazine, built in 1741; and there is the subterranean passage through which a garrison too hard pressed might 21 P U hav c esca IK<1. And oldest and most interesting of all, ju-t at tlie edge uf the fort, is the old pier, built in 1C.40, the oldest pier in America. i'rom the enibanknients of the fort one can see the hilltops, where the French, when ilriven out by the English, took their last stand and made their last fight. The old graveyard, which is also in the fort, is a verj' interesting spot to visit ; and one will see some (juaint old headstones there, with dates now nearly two hundred years in the past. Uy keeping along the main .street past the fort, one comes to the court house, with an enormous willow in front which, I have excellent authority for saying, is over eighteen feet in circumfer- ence, having myself Measured it. Further down the street are many exceedingly handsome residences, for the^e was a time "lit-n the people of Annapolis, like the people of Yarmouth, i)uiU many ships and made much money. There is, in fact, a very conspicuous savor of aristocracy about the place ; it is decidedly lOnglish. There are many delightful drives in this vicinity, one that they call the "Three Bridges Road" leading by the Indian village, and another to Young's Mountain, seven miles away, from which the most extensive view may be obtained ; and another to the Le (,)uille River, where the original I'rench located their fort, and where traces may still be seen of the first sawmill ever built on American soil, erected Uvo hundred years ago. Annapolis, however, does not live entirely in the past. It exports large quantities of fis.i and fruit. In fact, in Annapolis will be fotmd the first plant for the artificial drying of fi.sh by evaporation ever established. There is now another plant of tiiis sort in Halifax.

" In the Acadian land, on the shores of the I'.asui of Minas, Distant, set hided, still, the little village of Grand Pre Lay in the frnitfid valley." F one has his choice, the best way to go from Wolfville to Grand Pr^ is to drive, passing over the bridge tlown into the Caspereau Valley, and following the river down towards its mouth, then climbing the hill, again to descend into the broad meadow of Crand Pre. J!ut if one hasn't time for this little side excursion, the railroai will nuickly cover the three intervening miles from Wolfville t(j the famous little village behind the dykes. It is indeed a callous and worldly heart that does not beat more ciuickly on approaching the spot where the ancient .Acadian village once stood ; the spot where was enacted one of the cruellest tragedies of history ; a spot embalmed in imperishable verse that has mo\e(l the heart of all the civiii/ed world to a sorrowing Kvmpathv for t!ic simple .Acadian fiirmers who were so ruthlessly driven from their homes, and scattered in remote ([Parters, exiles and wanderers over the earth. ill Ji'l 29 GRAND PRE, HOME OF EVANGELINE ^1"-% It >s almost literally true, as Longfellow wrote, that '• naugln l.ut tradition remains of the beautiful village of Grand Pre." bt.ll you w,ll fmd on inquiry that though the Acadian village was razed to the ground by the English on that fateful mornmg a hundred and fifty years ago, there remain to this day many traces of French occupation. The present villa-.e back on tiie hHIsule, does .lot occupy exactly the same site as the old French village ; but the little station at wh^ch you ahght IS doubtless almost in tiie very heart of tlie spot where the Acadians once lived. Scarcely more tl.an a stone's throw from the station is the well whicli was discovered by some diggers after gold a k.y years ago. This was cleared out, and Us presence is now indicated by a rude board curbing. This was lUKloubtedlv a part of the Acadian village, as the oldest resident in tlie vicinity can recall no habitation in its neighborhood. They call tliis " Evangeline's Weil," and ,t is by no means improbable that tlie beautiful daughter of Benedict drew wa'er from its depths in common with the other villagers. Very near the well are traces of a broad foundation, the dimensions of which have' led people to suppose that here stood the village chapel, into which the farmers were gathered by deceit on that fatal September morn. One fairly conclusive indication that this was the village church is found in the fact, that some eight or ten years ago a cottin was discovered but a (csv feet away, by some other gold searchers. Although this had been under the ground t.n,,uestionably a century and a half, it was still sufficiently preserved to hold togetlier while being earned to the station some rods away. It is also not unlikely that the smithy of Basil was in this immediate neighbor- hood, tor there were exhumed from the old well several hammers and tongs and other implements of that craft. I'ossibly they were thrown here by the soldiers, who thought that they were too dangerous weapons to leav-e 'virg around among a people that had so grave a grievance. Just beyond the old church foundation and the well runs' a k>ng line of old trencn willows; while starting from this vicinity, and stretching up the side of the hill, is what is known as "the old trench lane," still bordered with ancient willows, under whose spreading branches are still to be seen the outlines of the foundations o. tlie happy homes of a century and a half ago. From the top of this lane, one gets a beautiful view of the spreading e.xpanse of dyke lands first enclosed by the industrious Acadians two centuries back, and pro;^cted in front 31 ■'■'11 ii-; n' m r. bv lew lyin.i; l.ony Man.! : ;m.l above and beyond the meadow, the IJasin .,r Minas strelcliin- away U) I51..nnresen(e in many joealiiies.

'I'he fort is immediately above tile station, and a moment's climb, scaling a fence or two, will bring one to the to]) of the ancient battlements. Mere two or tiiree rude seats have kindly l)een provided, so that tlie sight-seer may rest himself and gaze at leisure. Immediately in front, over the roof of the station, is the Avon River, a goodly stream if caught at the right moment ; long and deep and wide, flowing away northward towards the Basin. At the right is the St. Croix River, from whose banks, two miles further up, come great (luantities of gypsmn, some 150,000 tons (jf which are shipped every year to New York for plaster. Walking around the fort to the rear, one gets a fairly good view of the town of Windsor, nesding in a valley, with its princii)al business section along the water's edge. It is then in order to descen-l r.om the fort, walk through the main streets of the town, to the beginning of Park Street. There a narrow I'lank walk takes one straight up to the celebrated estate of Judge Haliburton, who was one of the most distinguished jurists in the province, but more widely known in his day and generation by his iioiii ,ie plume of "Sam Slick." -This old estate is well worth visiting, not only because of the unique i)ersonality of its original owner, but because i* is a typical I'lnglish estate, with wide acres, and groves, and orchards. The house itself, which is some distance from the road and screened by trees, is only a story in I.eighf ; but it covers considerable ground, and, resting upon an emiuLMice, presents quite an imposing effect. l!y passing the old " Sam Slicl^ " place, and continuing on the narrow board walk another half n)ile, you come to King's College, which is certainly worth a visit, being the oldest educational institution in Nova Scotia. It is not as old as Harvard, to be sure, but it was founded one hundred and six or seven years ago, and the original building, a long wooden structure with five entrances, each dignified with a ro.v of fluted Corinthian columns, is still a very imposing sight, resting as it does on the crown of a hil' Hi slopes gently a\ .ly in front and on either side. The college has a pretty chapel ..nd a library, both of freestone, i>ut iis chief charm is its Magnificent site. Hack of the college is a football field, long and wide ami level, where, however, it must be most diffictflt to attend to the game, so fine is the view in 35 "•II ■ i* )r I every direclion. Just across a gentle depression is the Church of I'jigiand s( liool for girls. I'here is no telepho.iic conimuni-ation \isil)le between these two institutions, but the situation certainly offers rare provocation for the establish- ment of some system of signal service. \\'itiiin a few miles of Windsor is a long ( hain of ''kes famous for their trout ; but the chief feature oi interest in this town is the Avon River, which, as far bad: as twenty years ago, excited that gentle humorist, Mr. Charles Dudley Warner, to the whimsical observation, that it is wonderful how much water improves a river. The .\von River, viewed at the proper time of day, is a superb stream, of ample breadth and most si/able proportions, bearing upon its surface schooners and banjues and other craft of e(|ual importance. Seen a few hours later, it is not to be seen at all ; it has vanished into thin air; there is no river there, but simply an enormous channel of sandy red mud, with possibly here and there a trick- ling little rivulet which any child could leaj); while the schooners and banpies and the brigs are tied fu-m and taut at the side of the wharf. A river that tlows one way half the time ari<' the other way the other half, tl;at at one hour has forty feet of water and seven 1' T,iv later is as dry as a prairie, is something unique, and is not to be passed hurriedly by.

R it one's vacation — and this iniibrtnnatciy is tiic case with most of us — is somewhat curtailed, he can't do l)etter when leaving Halifax than \.o take the " City of St. John " and skirl along the South Shore, leaving plenty of time for several slop-overs before reaching N'armouth. A glance at our map will sb.ow that the south shore of Nova Scotia is fearfully and wonderfully made. The land every- where pushes out into the water, and the water everywhere pushes hack into the land. There has l.een a fearful struggle going on there for centuries to see which should dispossess the other, the result of which is a coast outline so ragged as to he m fact all in tatters; hut it is beautiful, nevertheless, always picuiresciue. and often exceedingly grand. As one sails out of Halifax Harbor, he linds enough to keep his eyes busy on every sitle. At his right, shortly after leaving the wharf, is the beautiful Point Pleasant Park, while on the left he i)asscs George's Island, and later MacXab's Island, both bristling with guns. As he gets down the luubor. he fmds on his right that steep, precipitous bluff, on the crown of which stands \\)rk Redoubt, partly built in the solitl rock and partly screened by a covering of green. k):^ leaving the mouth of the channel, one descries at a little distance to the left Devil's Iskuul, on which it is necessary to have two lighthouses, 'i'here is also a life-saving station there. Then the boat turns her prow southwest and you pass Sambro Cape with its light- house, and Meagher's Rock, also with its lighthouse. Soon you are steaming along past the mouth of St. Margaret's Bay, one of the most beautiful spots along the shore, anil an hour or two later you pass Mahone Bay, at the head of which lies charming Chester. Mahone Bay with three hundred and sixty-five islanils, one for every day in the year, anil with Mt. Aspotogon frowning over U at the east, and with Oak Island, where Capt. Kidd, the wicked pirate, is supposed to have buried his treasure, is an extremely in\iting spot. Oak Island, by the way, has been more dug up than if it contained a 46 Uiild mine. lucre Fdr a hiindrod years jieopk- Iia\c h \ out to the south is the licauiit'ul lancUockcil !iarl)or, witli Point Iiattory to tlie left, and Point Moreau across the river, and the famous '• (Jvens " five miles away, at the entrance to tiie harbor. To tiie riglit, and immediately l)eneath one's feet, ii, aIcs die little cit), with its new and most imposing court house; witii the old I'inylish Church, built in lioston in 1754. and with various other public biiildini;s. all spea.king of thrift and prosperit\'. Then tun.ing around and lookiun back of the city, there is a view entirely different, but eiiually engaging; tor Lunenburg, like Ijoston, has a back bay, and this back bay, which iiKike^ in close under the hill on which the t(jwn is situated, is one of the most confusing conglomerations of land and water imaginable. 'I'he outlines of the coast are so intricate that one gi\es uj) tr)ing to decipher them. It is a beautiful place to take the \'oung student, to gi\e him an object lesson in geography, for nowhere else can he see so inan\' capes and peninsulas, islands antl isthmuses, gulfs and straits, ami \arious other ili\ isions (jf land and water, all in miniature, but all perfect. Looking away over this little island-dotted sheet of water, one can see .^L^hone Hay in the distance, and the little town of Chester fifteen miles away. liiit one should not ctJiitent himself with standing on tlie hilltoj) at Lunenburg, lie will miss a great treat if lu' does not devote some time to the water. There is very fine bathing here, where one can get cold water along the beach beyond Battery Point ; or, by step|)ing over the hill down to the back basin, where the water comes in over the shallows, he can find bathing with a cor.siderably higher temperature. Ikit the boating is the strong attraction at Lunenburg. Its ha-bor is broad and ani])le. and yet it is so entirely shut in. from the winds and waves of the .Atlantic that it is ])erfectly safe for rowboat or for sailboat. Nothing could be |ilea,-anter than to get aboard one of the wift Lunenburg yachts and sail over to Moreau Point, or " Kaulbach Head." as it is also called, and then to tack back to P>attery Point, where the lighthouse stands; and then to veer away to the mouth of the harbor and see the "Ovens," a most interesting spectacle, not to be duplicated elsewhere. "The ()\ens" are enormous caverns, some of them one hundred and fifty feet dee|) and twenty or thirty I'eet m liameter, which lia\e been worn into the slate cliffs l)v the beating of the ocean, centurv aft Here at " the Ovens" t iiey have found in days gone by a consider 48 abk ([uantity of er centur\'. and men are >till engai;ed m -ivLT- and the •t, li-.,LicS ilu' 54, and will) he (it)', there whicii inake-i d and water ■aulitul place ly capes and Uure, hut all ice, antl the at it" he does each hcvdixl ows, he can Its ha-l)or is 'ctly sale for 1 sail over to e liglithonse L', not to he and twent)' Iter century. enna^ed in .vash,„g ,1,0 ..„Kl ,ta co„u.s fro,,,, he crev.ces -,vhe„ .he tide i, ,o,v, an.l ,h.,„sh „„ „„e is at „rese,„ erowi,,,- „,„ ., ,hi, "" ';■"; " '* "*''^'""-' -"'"""a.ivo .0 engage ,1,.. e„„s,a„, a„e„,i„„ „f , ,„„„,,er „f ,,eL,le l.r,.l„e.a.er ,he „ex, ,,laee „f i.ueres,. ca„ be reaehe.1 ft„„, ,,„„e„,„„g ,,,. ,„, x,„, s,„,„, c,„„,| K„i|„,,v „ al» s ,rec, e„,„„,,„„ea„„„ wi.h „a,ifa. ,., .he s.ea„,er •• «ridge„a.er," which „,ake, ,„„ .H,» a weeL -I, , La Have River is i.icturosa( k Tivl' hundivd.

If one has time (and if he hasn't, he should take it), lie sliould drive from liridgewater down the hank of 'lie beautiful 'I'hi La Have to the mouth, some (ilteen nules away. I his is one of the jileasantest drives, — or sails, if you jjrefer the boat, — that can be had anywhere in the province. Near the mouth of the river one may still come upon traces of the old French settlement of La Have, which had a brief existence a century anil a half ago. One is in something of a quandary in leaving Bridgewater, as to which way he hail better do it ; whether to take the Nova Scotia Central Railway up to Middleton, or to continue the delightful sail along the South Shore. If one is in great haste to reach Yarmouth, the (juii ker way, of course,, is to take the railway, as he can leave Bridgewater comfortably after breaktast, meet the " Flying Bluenose " at Middleton, and get to Yarmouth an hour before the boat sails. This two hours' ride from liridge- water to Middleton is by no means uninteresting. It is through a rough and heavily wooded country, the chief industry of which is the cutting of timber and the sawing of logs ; but there are many beautiful spots along the railway, and one is never very long out of sight of river or lake. At'ter an hour's ride, one leaves the T,a Have River and its tril)utaries, and soon finds the water flowing the other way ; and shortly after he descries a great red river at his left, and he knows that he is back in the region of the big tides, for the red river is the Annapolis.

Then you see flashing in the morning sun the gilded dome, and you unconsciously straighten a little when you point it out to those unfortunates whose lives have been such an utter l)iank tliat they are now approaching Boston for the first time.
