II ^AVING had to spend a great deal of time and money col- lecting the names of Towns and Villages in the three Provinces, — Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and P. E. Island, — it has delayed the work two or three weeks beyond the time I expected to issue the Gazateer and Guide. It will make the work more complete, as the Publisher has been enabled to col- lect a good deal of valuable matter, and the Guide can be used all the year round for the information about the towns. The work also has a description of Scenery, Railway Time Tables, Mails, Stages, and a varied assortment of useful information. I take this opportunity of thanking the persons who have availed themselves of the advertising facilities of the Guide, and hope, by push and enterprise, to merit a continuance of their patronage. /■ ♦ ) .' -J \ . m' Public Archive of Nova Scotia HALIFAX, N.

Wo must Ijegin witli one : — Halifax was founded in 1749. This waH at a time when the Eai'I of Halifax was Pivsident of the Board of Trade and Plantations: hence the name lulopted for the place. The expedi- tion sent out from England to do this work was placed under the dii'ection of Hon. Edward Cornwallis — not Lord (jornwallis, as is so often stated — Governor of Nova Scotia. Ho was instructed to found a town u|K>n some part of the shores of C'hebucto Bay, to ))e thereafter the seat of (Government of Nova Scotia. According to tlie most authentic accounts. Governor Com- wallis and suite landed u])on what thus became Nova.scotia's Capital, on the 21st of June, 1749 ; and the anniversary of that day iias, for years past, been celebrated as tlie Natal Day of Halifax. Halifax is the princii^l Biitish Military Station in America, and, ever since its settlement, it may lie considei«d as also virtually the princifial British Naval Station in the "New Worhl," although B«!rmuda has nominally been the naval hetulquaitera for many yeiirs. It may not be amiss to keep in mind the natal day and year of Halifax ; because comfNirisons are often made between that city and Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, to the diaci'edit I of the fonner. Boston, tlie letuit of these, was as old a town as Halifax is I now (1876) when yet the site of Haliiax was covered by tlie forest Fuither, the toi>ogrHphy of Novascotia, of which Halifax is the capital, is suoli that there is no point in tlie Fix)vinoe distant over thirty miles from a good sea- port Consequently the shoi-es of the Pi-ovince are rather profusely dotted with little towns, nearly all of whidi make their own impmlations and ex- {lortations direct, and not thi'ough Halifax. Agaiu the position of Halifax iiufi always lioen a virtually isolateil one. It is not connected, by one of Nature's highways, witli any gitsat and productive Uick conntiy. Its connec- tion by rail witli the gieat railway system of the United States, Quebec, and Ontario is oidy just now completed. Owing to these various oiuses, the growth of Halifax has not i>een .ho npid as that of some uUier cities and towns on this continent, although it has been a steady and heiilthy one. Its population uuiy now lie fairly estimate*] at 33,000. The uatumi situation of Halifax is cxcee East, and by a river-like inlet fixMu the hailiur, cnlled the North West Arm, on the Soutli Wests The Harbor, after narrowing \'ery much as we (uxxseed Nortiiward, suddeiUy expands into Bedford Basin, which bounds the penin- sula on the North. This peninsula extends four and a half milm< in extreme length — tha^; is, from Point Pleasant to the Ba-niu. The widtli across th«? middle, and which is pretty nearly its average width, is two miles. The width of the isthmus, from tlie head of the North West Arm to the nearest -5 >■ s ► as' to a n "5 o 73 o X X .4 71 Mm. J. A. OrNal'aCircauinn Hair KeHlorrr, R.

Tlie whole area of the city may l>e roughly estimated at eight 8(iuare nules. The arm of the sea, from which branch off the inlets and expaiuiiona already mentioned, is called Chebucto Bay. Nature seems to have done everything that could lie wished to make this I>eninsula of Halifax the site of a magniticont city. The whole of the area already descrilxid is available for building purjuises, comfoj-table streets, jmrks, pleasure grounds, Ac.,* on a regular plan, at a less cost than usually ha« to Ixj inciui'ed in the laying out and building of a town. For a tlistance of ten miles, following the sinuosities of the shoi*e, its borders, with the excei)tion of about a quarter <»f a mile at Point Pleixsant, where a shoal and a leJg(> make out seaward, are washetl by what navigatoi-s call " gooil water." llie v/^hole of that distance, with the excejitiou named, is available for wharves, jriei-s, and quays, with sutlicient de[>th of water to ailmit ves-sels close iu shore, and with good "holding ground" in front. The more compactly built portion of the city — the town pro})er — lies along tlio Eastern siile of this peninsula, and consequently on the Western shore of the harbor. It is built, for the most paii;, on the slope of a liill, the summit of which is surmounted by Fort George, or the Citadel. The best view of the town is when seen ftxim the opiwsite, or Dartmouth, sliore; but the prosjMjct from Citadel Hill is one which no visitor should fail to see. We will suppose him there upon the rampart:;, or outside the works, at an angle of one of the ba.stious. Clu.stering almost beneath his feet, and sproavling out more visibly on his either hand, Not-th aTid South, is the town. Beyond it lies what is often, and probably with truth, called " the tinoat harbor in the world." 8et in it, like a gem, is the ixreen, mound-like George's Island, crowned by Fort Ciiarlotte. These watA'is — blue as ever the Mediterranean was- -stretch away to the right, or Houihwest, laying for miles the shores of McNab's Island, with its forest-ohul hills and breezy downs; gleaming through the dtu'k pine toi»s of the luxuriant Tower Wobds ; mirroring the pretty village of FalkhiTid, which seems to clamber up the steep hill side from the lofty summit of which frowns York Redoubt; now playfully rippling and now rolling in, in curling and foaming waves, over Point Pleasant ledges and the more distant Thrum Cap shoal ; until off Sambro, al»out nine miles distant, it l>ei,omeh one with the broad Atlantic. On the other hand, to the Nvn-thward, this sheet of water couti-acts in width, foiming what are called The IJarrows, tlie shores of which are Iwautifidly variegittcd with groves, green fields, and pretty clustt!i*8 of houses. Pui-suing the view still farther in tliat direction, we may catch a glimpse of Bedford liasin over the shoiddei-s of the hills which foim the Northern part of the ])e)\instda. T\\n\ to the rear or Westward, and Halifax Common spreads out from the hnae of Citixdel hill, an exjwinse which is, evei7 year, l)eing more extensively planted and otherwise imjjroved, and will soon be a charming piiblic park. This — moi-e piopcrly the North Common — com]»ris«w, together with the Public Gardens, an extent of about ubiety jujres. Of this area the Public Gardens comprise over four- teen acred. Tliey are ke])t in fii-st nvte order, contain ponds and fountains, and a croquet lawn, and, although comparatively new, are already a delightful public promenade and a great boon to the citizens of Halifax. Beyond this Common, there extends West, North, and South, a gi-eat and nearly level pla- tonu, which will, doxibtless, at no distant day, be the heart of the town, as well as of the city, of Halifax. Already the work of building has been vigorously commenced in that section of the peninsula. The view in that direction is w w o a > lenl. the sea, illed thiH urea vrka, A) \xt ten an of nakc /hole , and and Picl(r«nl & Blnck, N«ta, Llnea, Tivlnm, Ar., 19 * IN VTmer Mt , HMltfiix. —lies istem 1, the 3 best ; but We angle avling eyoud in the island, anean res of rough )retty n the \ now id the mt, it ward, rows, and we r > O W 9} K !► ob' lO 00 w w o o a >• r A'hicl 1, and which and orth about four- tains, :htful this I pk- well fously liou \H 85 bounded by precipitous, wooded hills, Iw^yond the doep gidch, at the bottom of which the WivterH of the North West Ann cannot be seen from this point of view. Tuniinj? our eyes once more in the direction of the harbor, we see, on j its farther shore the pretty and thriving town of Dartmotith, built down to the water's edge and backed by bold, wood-crowned hills, the sIojkw of which ' are dotted with tasteful villas, and through one of the depressions of which ' we may catch a glimpse of the picturoaiiue Dartmotith lakes. Indeed, in whatever direction the eye is turned from the point we have selected, it is met with a prospect of rare beauty. THE TOWN. Halifax is very regularly laid out, the streets being, for the most part, |)anvllel and crossing esvch other at right angles. Consequently the building blocks are nearly all rectangiilar parallelograms. Until a comparatively recent period, it was almost exclusively a wooden town. Even yet it is more wooden than stone and brick. Owing, however, to the occurrence of several disa.strous tiras, an ordinance was passed, a few years since, forbidiling the further erection of wooden buildings, or additions to btiildinga, within certain limits comprising the principal business portion of the town. This has already produced a marked improvement in the appearance of the town. The blocks which now line the Northin-n half of (ininville Htivet and a large section of HoUis Street, will, in aixjhitectural eflect, compare favoi-ably with those of any city in America; and great improvements have Iteen made throughout the town generally. The streets are macadamizei'omenaders, the tii-st phvce must he given to the Public Gardens and the adjoining North Common, which have already been briefly described. For many yeai-s past, it has l)een customary for a military band to play in these Gardens two or three aftiM'ntwns oiu'h week, during the Summer and Autumn, at which time they are usually visited by ci*owds of the 9 W 9 1 \' WK IVIni.

NOVASCOTIAN RURAL SCENERY. It may lie remarked ^Mierally under thin heiul, that, on to tino coast scenery, portioiiH of the '^«»i«t of Novawcotia Hurpa.s.s in the pictureHipio, and even in the ^nind, any others alon);; the Atlantic c«)a.st of Nortli America, from Ijabrador to the (Julf of Mexico. On the other hand, tin; Hcenery of the country in the interior is much more tame. Still it is much diversified with hill and valley, lake and atream, aiwl nearly always a luxuriant ve^eUition ; hut it is quite wanting in mountiiins, pro|M*rly ho called, although there are numentuH ridges and emiiuMices that are lo<;ally ho designatetl. The higluMt lanil in the peninsula of Novtiscotia projwr does not exceed twtilvo huudred fe(^t ahove the wa level ; whilst the highest in the Island of V.a.\n\ Breton scarcely attains three thousand feet. To give as good an i»leji of the lisjtect of the country as can be given in a very limited 8pm!e, we will sup]x>He oursiilves to jvccompaiiy the ter wat«*i's of the Bay of Fundy — Minas Bi»sin, or (Jhiegnecto Bay- -or he can take his invigorator as cold as he likes on the Atlantic coast. But the natives i-esident at thowt numerous favoixxl sjKtts never seem to have thotight of, or cai-ed for, "turning an honest jSMiny" by providing the artificial attractions which would not fail to make tiiose i>laces the Summer resort of thousandti. A few miles afttn-g, we virtually pass fiom the Highlands of Scotlany, we shall find most of the inhaliitants more old-fashioned French than the natives of old Fnince. liridgewater is a thriving and hustling little town, huilt up mainly hy its lumlMM- trade* ; anering, or ship-huililiiig. eistaMishmentH, or l)oth, surrounded with all the evidences of cultivation and pmsperity. The principal places on our nmte are Mill Village, on the Port Me«lway ; Ijiverp«K)l and Milton, on the Mersey ; Lockeport, from which the fisheries are exten.sively prosecureil, and to reach which we nnist make a detour from the more direct roiitc ; Jordan liiver ; Shelburne, uikmi her own noble harbor ; the Clyde ; and Harrington. After leaving Harrington, we mecit with little of interest until we reach Pubiiico. This is a large settlenient. comprising an almost continuous village, quite around the harlK)r, and throughout its whole length. The inhabitants are almost exclusively of Fi-ench origin and form a very orderly, industrious, and well-tivdo community. From Pubnico to the pretty villagj* of Tusket, at the head of navigation, on th(^ river of the .sjime name, winding around the j deep iidets of Abuptio, Argyle 8ound, and the lower course of the Tusket rivt!r. we have before our (?yes one continuous, ever shifting, and InMiutiful ; panorama. The waters thus skirted are liegemmed with about three hundred | island.s, called "The Tuskets." These are of the most varied shape, eleva-j tion, and dimensions ; many of them being in a high state of cultivation ; i others still covered, in whole, or in part, by luxuriant forest trees. Many , pei"sons — and the writer must admit himself among the numl)er — consider; that this jiortion of Novascotian coast scenery, whilst of the same gtjueral character iuj that of the more celebrated Mahone Bay, quite surptLs.ses the latter in the richness and variety of its attractions. The Tusket riyer itself is one of the largest in Noviuscotia, and in its coui-se from the interior, ex- 1 piuuls into a luuuber of large and beautiful lakes. A twelve miles' pleasant ! drive brings us from Tusket village to the town of Yarmouth. This exceed- ingly enterprising town — which is now probably th« second in Noviwcotia m . jMJpulation, as it is unquestionably the first in the tonnage of shipi>ing owned ! by it, and that in a Province whose ])ro]»erty so lai"gely con-sists in shipping — j is sin-piussed by no other in the general tidiness of its luspect, the tiuste di.s- ; played in its buildings, and the general air of prosperity which i-eigns in and about it ; for the surrounding country, for miles in every direction, has that same air of thrift. >- » > U) es o ■fl o a > IMAGE EVALUATION TEST TARGET (MT-3) 1.0 I.I 1.25 '- IIIIM |||||M IS IIM ~" 2.2 i^ 2.0 1.8 1-4 IIIIII.6 Vi <^ /2 A 7 /J. .^^*^. ^/ ^ ^ 11^ ri nm.

O for its historical associations, than for the beaaty of its situations and en- virons. It is, in fact, the oldest town of European origin in America North of St. Augustine, in Florida, the founding of which latter place preceded it a few years. The old fortifications of the place, both Citadel and outworks, which were so often lost and won by their rival claimants, can still be easily traced ; and they indicate the site.s of many a bloody encounter, in the days of old, between the French and Indians on the one side, and the English on the other. Here may be said to commence the celebrated Annapolis Valley, its termination, where it is much wider than here, being at the shore of the Basin of Minas, in Kings County. Although the valley itself is almost a perfect level, the enclo.sing walls of the North and South Mountains, and especially the former, which rise abruptly from the plain and usually to a height of from four to five hundred feet, take away all appearance of tameness from the face of the country. This chaiming valley is, tln-oughout its whole extent, cultivated like ft garden. Indeed no small proportion of its total area actually is taken up in ^^ardens and orchards; and the fruits of this valley — apples, pears, plums, and of late, peaches — of which, especially the first, immense quantities are grown, have attained a world-wide celebrity for their excellent quality. The places of most note which we pass through on leaving Annapolis by rail for the Eastwaixl, are Bridgetown, where the railway passes from the Southern to the Noi'thern side of the Annapolis river; Lawrencetovt n ; Midd] "ton ; Aylesford ; Berwick ; Kentville, a beautifully embowered little town and the county town of Kings County; Wolfville, where is situate Acadia College; and Gi"and Pre, which is the extreme Eastern point of what is called the "Annapolis Valley," although more than half of its area is actually in King's County. All these towns and villages give evidence of a high degree of cultivation, not only of the soil, but of the tastes of those who dwell in them. Still, this trip by rail can give but a faint idea of the productiveness of thLs valley. The view from any of the eminences \i\ the rear of Wolfville, or Grand Pre, Northward, is very fine, taking in aa it does the whole width of this end of the valley just refeired to, the full sweep of the Basin of Minas with the bold headland of Cape Blomidon, the Eastern ter- mination of the North Mountains, and the range of the loftier, Cobequid Hills in the remote distance. All the country hereabouts was called Minas under the old Frc ,c\\ denomination ; and it is here that Longfellow has laid the principal scene of his charming jwein of Evangeline. Resuming our route, we cros.s the outlet of the lovely valley of the Gaspereau ; roll on to Hantsport, a town on the Avon which has grown rapidly into importance by virtue of its shipping interest ; and ai"e soon in Windsor, the comity town of Hants. This, one of the oldest towns in the Pro- vince, is finely situated near the confluence of the Avon and St. Croix rivers, in the midst of an agricultural country of exceeding fertility, and carries on a large trade in gypsum, which indeed is exported in immense quantities from all the Northern parts of this county, as also from South Western Colches- ter. Hants is one of the principal ship building and ships owning counties in the Province. Wiiidsor is the site of King's College, the oldest institution of its class in the Maritime Provinces. From Windsor to Halifax, the only places we need specially note ere Ellershause, on the St. Croix, where a pretty and tluiving manufacturing town has been built up in a few years through the energy and enterprise of one man, from whom it derives its name ; Mount Uniacke, where the tourist, if di.si)osed, may visit the Uniacke o o M "1 o H to 00 o o d w o > GO :■?! irirn.

THE EASTERN ATLANTIC SHORE. Stage coaches leave Halifax, across the ferry, via Dartmouth, three times a week, on the Eastern shoie route, returning on the alternate days. The scenery on this route is no whit leas attractive naturally than it is on the Western shore ; but there are no towns, nor even any considei'ftble villages there ; the genei"al aspect of the country is wilder ; and, although one may travel easily and faro comfortably, though plainly, on the road, this route is scarcely likely to prove so attractive to the mere tourist unless also a sports- man — to whom more anon. The first place which we will mention, although more for the peculiar- ities of its inhabitants tha,'.i aught else, is the French settlement of Chezzet- cook. This place, which indeed is not directly on the coach road, although not more than two miles from it, approaches more nearly to the character of a village — a large, straggling one — than any other that we can see on this route. Here the inhabitants have retained not only the language, religion, manners, and customs, but also the costumes, of their French ancestors. Here, within twenty miles of Halifax — and no where else in this Pro- vince — probably no where eloe in this Dominion — may be seen the women all with their hair dressed and covered with the kerchief, and wearing the kirtle, all after the Norman and Breton fashions of centuries ago. Crossing the Musquoloboit, a tine river which rises far inland and watera the largest ahd richest agricultural settlement in Halifax County ; the JeJore, a tidal arm of the sea, girt by lofty and gloomy cliffs, we reach Ship Har- bor which, even on this coast, cannot but be admired as a magnificent one, and it is surrounded by picturesque landscapes. At a distance of only a few miles above the fei'ry, the Ship Harbor Great Lake, — the second in the Pro- vince in size — empties, by means of Charles River, into the head of this har- bor. Our next stage will be Tangier, celebrated for its Gold Mines, and for having been the first place in Novascotia, where Gold was discovered. Along all this part of the coast, which the post road hugs pretty closely, the watera for many many miles, are profusely studded with Islands of the great- est diversity of size and shape, some clothed with dense, dark woods ; othera, presenting only the naked rock ; whilst only a very few of the larger ones are under partial cultivation. The.se islands make the principal charm of the ever varying view. Thus we may proceed and thus the eye will be continu- ally greeted, past Pope's, Spry, Sheet, Beaver, Newdiquoddy, Nicumteau, to Ekiimsekum Harboi-s, the land highway unfortunately becoming worse and worse, until, at the latter place, which is on the extreme eastern boundary of Halifax County — it ceases to be a road at all. The passage from there to St. Mary's in Guysborough County can only be made by water, or on foot. We will therefore suppose our return to Halifax. i, THE NORTHERN ROUTE. Leaving Halifax, this time, by the Intercolonial Railway, and passing Bedford again, we soon reach Windsor Junction, where the tourist has an opportunity of easily reaching Waverly Gold Mines, which are only one o o o 00 w M O O o w o > < < s o Q U a 00 (M f-' O a o « s. a z < a !£ U b. a w.

Remaining in the train and akirting along a few of the myriad of lakes which are scattered all over this Atlantn coast section of Novascotia — those we now see contributing to the head waters of the Shu- benacadie— we at length cross that river at Eiifield and are in Hants County again. From Enfield a road leads Eastwardiy to tlie Oldham ' xold iVIines, four miles distant, in Halifax County ; another leads m a Westward diiection, to Renfi'ew Gold Mines, six miles away, and in Hants County. Passing several other stations on the Intercolonial, we reach Shubenaoadie Station, and there again crossing the river of that name, enter Colchester County. From this station, stage coaches nm daily to Maitland, a thriving town at the mouth of the river. The character of the country, for some time past, has entirely changed and more resembles what we left about Windsor. Rocks have quite disappeared and we see, on every hand, a good cultivable soil. Crossing the Stewiacke, vdiich, through its whole course, drains an ex- ceedingly fertile and flourishing agricultural country, and leaving Brookfield behind, which is the centre of a like district, we reach Tnii o. This town is situated about two miles above the head of navigation of Cobequid Bay, and is surrounded by a more open country than can be seen elsewhere in the Pi'o- vince. It is often said to be the'prettiest town in the Maritime Provinces. That is matter of taste. It has certainly, of late years, made more material progress than any other in Novascotia, and is now probably the third town in the Province in population. It is rather straggling than compactly built, upon ground almost perfectly level throughout, flanked by cultivated hills on the one side, and by broad intervale lands, gradually changing to dyked marsh, on the other ; is very regularly laid out ; and is well and, for the most part, tastefully built. Notwithstanding its inland situation, and the absence of any natural water power, it has lately become one of the most considerable manufacturing towns m Novascotia. It is the county town of Colchester and seat of the Provincial Noi'mal and Model Schools. It is the point of junction of the Pictou Bi-anch Railway with the Intercolonial. Stage coaches leave here — and return — twice a day for Maitland and intervening villages, and daily for Tatamagouche. Tnily magnificent views are to be had from some of the hills Easit and North-East of Tiuvo, spots which few tourists fail to visit. On the Interolonial again and crossing the fine agiicultural township of Ons- low, we reach Debert Station, from which stage coaches start daily for Folly, Great Village, Portaupique, Economy, Five Islands, and Parrsborough, fol- lowing the North Shore of Cobequid Bay and the Bason of Minas. No scenery hunter should fail to visit at least the la.st two, which present to view coast scenery not surpassed, if it is eint, the view even from the car win- dows, winding up and across the summit of the Cobequid Hills, is often very tne. Little cultivation is to be seen in the immediate vicinity, however, the road having been recently consti'ucted and through a forest. From Went- worth Station, stage coaches leave daily foi Wallace, Tatamagouche, and Pugwaeh ; from Thompson's, they leave daily for Pugwaali, also for Westches- ter, in the opposite direction ; from Athol Station stage coaches leave for Parrsborough, from wludi there is easy conveyance to Five Islands, mentioned GO 00 1 fc i M: 1 :!•■ iM' li !:!;■ ii ;, j. 1 1 "i l< ' i ' '' r ill: : i ' III i ' i ! i 1 1 mm J« A.

Besides the natiirnl attractions of the localities, they present a fine field of study to the student of mineraology. In their vicinity, gems, such as are usuallj' found in the Trap formations, may be found in abundance ; whilst the facilities for sea bathing are of the very beat. From Athol, too, a branch railway, about four miles in length, taps the Spring Hill Coal Minos ; and this line is being contiiuied to the Poit of Pavrsborough, just named, about eighteen miles further. Maccan Station on the Intercolonial, is the point of departure for Minudie, the Joggins Coal Mines, and others of the sort ; for we are now in the midst of the great Cumberland coal basin. Next, we are at Amherst, the County town of Cumberland, a bustling and prosjierous town, the centre of a widely extensive agricultural and grazing district, upon the trade growing out of which it is mainly dependent, although manufacturing is also carried on to some extent. Between it and the head of the Chignecto arm of the Bay of Fundy, some miles distant, and stretching thence in every direction, sire vast expanses of dyked marsh, which constitutes "the fat of the land." The country around is open and breezy. A few miles lieyond Amherst, we reach the Missigunsh, the boundary of New Brunswick, and once recognised, for some years, as tJie boundary between the domains of England and France — the flag of the former waving over the Fort Lawrence side of the stream, whilst that of France flaunted from Fort Beau Sejour, on the opposite, or fai-thcr, ridge — until the summer of 1755, when a British force, under Col. Monckton, crossing the Missaguash at Pont de Buot, " Buot's Bridge" — a name which, to the mystification of many as to its origin, has since been corrupted into " Point de Bute" — after a short and sharp bombardment of the Fi'ench foi-t, compelled its unconditional surrender. Fi'om that time Btau Sejour became "Fort Cumberland." EASTERN AND CAPE BRETON COUNTIES. We will suppose ourselves again in Truro and embarked on board the Pic- tou Branch Railway. The first portion of the journey after leaving Truro, parses up the beautiful valley of Salmon River, or — as it is sometimes called of late — the " Teviot." In its central position, the line pacing through what was but wilderness a few years since, afiords little of interest to the sight seer. On nearing New Glasgow, however, we find oiu-selves in the midst of the great Pictou Coal Basin ; and we are suri-ounded by life and animation on every side. This district can boast of the fiict tliat one at least of the coal seams worked in it has a gi-eater thickness than any other knoAum in the world. There are now five mining comjMinies engaged here in raising and shipping coal, viz: — the Halifax, Intercolonial, Acadia, Novasootia, and Vale companies; — but there are otlier collieries in the vicinity which are not being worked at present owing to the depi-essed state of the coal trade. Each of these collieries has, of coui-se, its own village of miners' dwellings, with a more pretentious gi'oup of domiciles for the occupation o^ those who are to direct their operations. — New Glasgow is an active and ^ osperous business town, largely engaged in manufactui-«8, in which it is favored by being situated almost in the midst of so many collieries. From here there is a daily line of stage coaches to Antigonish and the strait of Canso ; also to Shei-brooke St. Mary's and intervening points. — ^A few miles ftirdier brings us to the present termination of ouf Eastern railway route, at Pictou Landing, from which we reach Pictou, on the opposite, oi* North side, by a steam ferry. Pictou is prettily built upon the rather steep slope of a hill, and makes its best appear- u , o w t/1 ?3 -3 z a •^ w fi •«! > h < > Z K O a a aonih.

Certainly until very recently this town was the second in the Province in population and wealth ; and it is so yet un'ess it has been outstripped by Yannouth. A large fleet of colliers always occuj)y its harbor during the season of open navigation ; but outside of the profits thus incidentally brought into the place, Pictou carries on a thriving and diversified trade of its own. At the present time, steamers leave Pictou every Tuesday mining for Quebec and intermediate ports ; everf Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday morning for Charlotteto wn, P. E, I. ; every Monday and Thuraday morning for Hawkesbury, on the Strait of Canso ; every Wednesday and Friday morning for Port Hood ; and every alternate Saturday for the Magdalen Islands. The tourist has therefore a choice of routes to the island of Cape Breton ; but by returning to New Glasgow and taking the stage coach, he will be able more conveniently to visit Antigonish and Guysborough Counties. The former, although comparatively a new county, is not surpassed in its agi-icul- tural capabilities by any other in the Province. It is exceedingly fertile and productive, and is being brought rapidly under cultivation. The town of Antigonish has been thought to l)ear a resemblance to Tniro in many })oints ; but it is much smaller. It is the residence of the (R. C.) Bishop of Arichat ; and is also the seat of St. Francis Xavier College. Stage coaches run from here to the Strait of Canso and to Guysborough. There is also a public con- veyance to Sherbrooke, St. Mary's. Referring to the latter first, it may be remarked that it afibrds an exceedingly agreeable excursion over nearly the whole distance travelled. The cxiltivated shores of Loehaber Lake are a continuous picture ; the valley of the East Branch of St. Mary's, down to the Forks at Glenelg, presents some such park-like scenery as is not often seen m this country ; whilst that of the main liver, thence to Sherbrooke, is throng h- out highly picturesque. The St. Mary's is the largest river in the Eastern section, if not indeed in any part, of Novascotia. Sherbi-ooke is a very pretty village, situated at the head of navigation of this river, and is mainly suppoi-ted by lumbering, ship-building, and Mining ; for the village lies be- tween, and in near propinquity to, two celebrated Gold Mining districts — Sberbooke Mines, West of the river, and Wine Harbor, a few miles distant on the East. Stomiont Gold District again, adjoins the latter to the Eastwai-d. — Guysborough, the approach to which from Antigonish is of the placidly agree- ably kind, showing a fine agricultural and prosperous countiy for nearly the whole distance, is itself an extremely quite little town, but very agreeably situated upon and overlooking Milford Haven, which is a beautiful sheet of water. Tliere is a direct conveyance from here, as from Antigonish, to the Strait of Canso. Different routes to the island of Cape Breton have already been named. It may also be reached by the Boston, Halifax, and Charlottetown steamers, which touch at Hawkesbury every trip; and by the Halifax and St. Pierre steamer, which touches at Arichat ; and bv the steamers of the " Fishwick Express Line," plying between Halifax and Charlottetown. The Strait of Canso — called in the old days of French domination the " Passage de Fronsac" — is the great marine highway between the Gulf and River St. Lawi-ence, on the one hand, and all those waters South and West of Cape Breton, on the other. Consequently it is the channel of a large traffic. Hundreds of sail may often be seen passing through it at a time, or at anchor in its bordering harbors waiting for a fair wind to do so. It is a magnificent piece of water, well set off by the villages of Port Mulgi*ave and Pirate Cove, on the penin- "9 1-4 fi PJ > 55 O a: > M CO > W C4 O > > > o w as OD 68 O o w o o > >• M •P Itlrs.

This bold headland rises sheer up from the water to a height of about six hundred feet, and is as nearly perpendicular as it can 1x3 to sustain vegetation at all. It bristles, however, fi-om water's edge to summit, with a dense gi'owth of forest trees ; and its ajjjiearance lias not inaptly suggested the name by which it is popularly known. Whoever has not seen Cape Breton has failed to seethe grandest and most picturesque scenery which the Province of Novascotia can pi-oduce. To the genuine lover of Nature, or the artist, it is a truly delightful land. To at- tempt a derscription of all the localities worthy of a visit by either, would be quite impossible within the limited scope of this work ; for their name is legion. At least we can but name some of the most noteworthy and indicate tlie modes of leacliing them. And iiist, the Bras d'Or — this truly magnificent sheet of water — this small inland sea, with its shores, would alone justify what we have just said. The two channels which lead to it from the ocean, the Great Lake itself, and every one of its numerous inlets, have each and every one its own peculiar charms. Stage coaches mn daily from Hawkesbury to Poil; Hood, to Sydney via St. Peter's, also, when required, to the head of West Bay; and from the lattrr point a steamer takes her departure every Monday and Thursday for Sydney via the Great Bras d'Or channel. The same steamer makes the trip from Sydney to Whycocomagh every Saturday. Good opportunities are thus afforded of seeing a large portion of these waters and their shores ; ])ut the tourist could do this more thoroilghly and satisfactorily by engaging a boat for himself, and making the voyage of the Bras d'Or and every one of its numerous inlets. Among the places well worth visiting must be mentioned Mabou, which may be reached by stage coach from Poit Hood. From hei'e the touiist may proceed by like conveyance to Margaree ; and to see the lovely vallies of this river and of its branches — the North-East and South- West Margaree — -is itself well worth a special visit to this island. There is at present no public con- veyance proceeding Northwardly beyond the main Margaree, Consequently the traveller, if disposed to extend his journey in this direction either towards Cheticarap, on the Gulf, — where there is another old Acadian French settlement, and where, by the bye, there is one of the largest and finest stone (R. 0.) churches in the whole Province — or across country to the Wagamat- kook valley, in Victoria County, ht must procure a private conveyance. This }'e can accomplish • thout dilliculty at Margaree. He may in like manner proceed by Lake inslie and Ainslie Glen to Whycocomagh — a delightful drive ; or he can reach the latter point by stage coach either from Mabou, via Skye Glen, or from Hawkesbury and Port Hastings. The village of Whco- comagh itself is a lovely spot, nestling beneath precipitous, wooded mountains, and overlooking a broad and deep expanse of placid water, dotted with green islands. We can proceed from here to Baddeok by steamer, as already men- tioned; or we can go by stage coach, seeing by the way portions of the broad, fertile vallies of the Wagamatkook, or Middle River, and Big Baddeck River. Wagamatkook Gold Mining District is upon the upper waters of tbe former. Baddeck, the county town of Victoria, is finely situated on an islanded inlet of the Bras d'Or, and, with its surroundinge, shares largely in the natural attractions of thia part of the island.

This it maintains in an increasing degi'ee from here all the way to Cape North, But, owing to tlie ruggedness of the ways and the paucity of the means of accommodation, who ever would extend his journey in that direction far beyond St. Anne's must expect to find it something of an adventure. By crossLng the mountain from St. Anne's, or by steamer from Baddeck, we may reach New Campbellton, on the North side of the outlet of the Great Bras d'Or and surrounding a pretty cove. The scenery of the compara- tively low ground on which the place is situated is beautifully contrasted with perpendicular cliffs of Crimsou Syenite by which it is immediately overlooked, and which here stretches, — a mountain wall several hundred feet in height — from the Great Bras d'Or to Cape Dauphin. Here there is a Colliery and this is the Noi-thern extreme of the Cape Breton field, the most extensive in Novascotia. It extends from here over forty miles, in a direct line South- ward but following the general direction of the coast ; and out beneath the sea to an unknown distance. The whole of this coal territory is under lease, or occupation, and a number of collieries are now in full operation ; but there are many others which, owing to the present depres.sion in the coal trade, have temporarily suspended mining. Whoever may purpose visiting these coal regions will natui'ally make Sydney the centre of his movements. In addition to the various routes by which this town may be reached and which have been alipeady named, it should be said that the fortnightly steamers plying between Halifax and St. John's, Newfoundland, always touch at North Syd- ney ; and that the Halifax and St. Pierre steamer — also fortnightly — touches both at Sydney and North Sydney. From Sydney ample provision exists for the conveyance of passengers to any of the coal mines. Railroads already connect the Sydney Mines on the North, and the International Mines on the South, with Sydney harbor ; and a railroad is under construction from Syd- ney, through the whole mining region South of that town, to the harbor of Louisburg, thus securing, in the latter place, a Winter port for the shipment of coal. Another and a painful interest attaches to Louisburg as the former stronghold of the French in this Province. What were the old town and stronghold are now but a mass of ruins, and a picture of desolation. Most tourists who feel an interest in the history of this country, would like to pay a visit to the place which, undoubtedly as its appearance is yet full of inter- est. The most satisfactory way to do so, will be to take a sj)ecial conveyance from Sydney. Except as to Louisburg, the extreme South-Eastem portions of Cape Breton and Richmond Counties afibrd but little to tempt the tounst off the main highway from Sydney to the Strait of Canso. Upon this stage coaches ply daily, as we have seen. For nearly the whole distance from Sydney to St. Peter's, at the very head of the Lake, the road follows closely the shore of the Bras d'Or. A few miles on the Sydney side of St. Peter's, it passes near to Chapel Island, a place of worship of the Micmac Indians. Here all the Indians of Cape Breton and the neighbouring mainland are in the habit of resorting annually to hold high festival on St. Anne's Day (26th July) and for a week preceding. Much of festivity mingles with their religious rites in commemorating their Tutelary Saint ; and l£|.rge numbers of Whites from the surrounding country are in the habit of " assisting " on these occasions.

Owing to these various considerations, the Provincial Legislature has re- cently taken the preservation of Game in hand — a policy to which it had long been urged, and in carrying out which it is ably assisted, by the " Game and Inland Fishery Pi-otection Society " and other gentlemen who take an in- terest in the matter. By a Provincial Act which came into operation in 1874, it was forbidden to kill any Moose at all within a period of three years ; and, in the present temper of the public mind, it seems very probable that this prohibition will be extended for a still longer period. The same Act limits the number of Caribou which any one individual or party of hunts- men may kill in a season, — a seemingly needless provision which could not be easily violated, seeing the scarcity of those animals. It also prescribes a close season in the case of any species of game, "and enjoins severe penelties for the violation of any of its provisions, all of which legislation cannot but have a most beneficial effect and indicate better times for the spoi-tsman in the future. It woidd be \)0th a vain and a needless labor to undertake to inform the stranger sportsman of all the liabilities in Novascotia when he may reasonably expect a few day's " good shooting." Although, as already said, more scarce than formerly, partridges, woodcock, and snipe, &c., may be found anywhere in the Province when the country is such as to afford them their natural food, — keeping in mind, however, that thei'e is much less prospect of " making a bog" upon grounds near the centers of population and which have conse- quently been much hunted over. Consequently, to increase sport one must seek their more sechaded haunts. The last above remarks also apply, although not in equal degree, to the case of waterfowl. This species of game — in such great varieties that we shall not attempt to catalogue them — is still abundant all along the Atlantic and Gulf of St. Lawrenc* Coasts of the Province. As to the former, the sportsman will find his best chances on that part of the Coast Eastward of Halifax, rather than to the Westward — owing, doubtless, to the fact that the shores East are much more thinly peopled than those West. In any case, it is only in the more secluded water >, and by means of decoys and other inge- niously deceptive contrivances, that the patient sportsman can hope to achieve any great success amongst these birds, because so wary and suspicious of the presence of man. It is believed that the St. Lawrence Coast of Novascotia Ixolds out the best inducements for this variety of sport. FISHING. • - There was a time when no country on earth could surpass, and very few could equal, Novascotia in the productiveness of its fish'^nes, whether coast, or inland. But, as in the case of game animals already referred to, there has been a gi-eat falling off in this abundance. This has been owing in part to the improvident and exhaustive way in which the fisi'eries have been prosecuted, but in a much greater degree to the injuries caused by lumbermen in obstructing the rivera with mill dams, "jams" of drift logs and mill rubbish, and sawdust. The work of recuperation has indeed commenced, and a good law for the preservation of the fishei-ies is upon the Dominion Statute Book ; but the work of improvement does not proceed as rapidly as could be a w n > o o o o o H to 00 o » o w o > Public Archives of Nova Scotia HALIFAX, K .S. r M nvn,S.

Many of the officei'S appointed to enforce the law evince zeal and energy in the {)eiforniance of their duty ; yet political jobbery and partizan favoritism often hinder their efforts from producing the desii'ed results. Still, the Novascotian fisheries are not yet ruined ; and it is to be reasonably hoped that, thi'ough the persistent efforts of those who have their welfare at heart, those fisheries will yet again attain that celebrity which they once enjoyed. These remarks are, of course, intended more especially for the Angler, properly so called. Should any such have a mind to try his hand at a catch of exclusively salt-water fish — such tvs cod, haddock, &o. — he can find ample opportiuiity for indulging in this — to him — probably moral sport anywhere ujx)n any of the coasts of Novascotia. But as to inland waters, — the whole Atlantic coastband of Novascotia, of a width sufficient to comprise fully one half the area of the Province, is profusely strewn with lakes. They may be literally counted by thousands. In all of these lakes and their connecting streams there are Trout, and many of them abound with that fine fish, it being understood, of coui-se, that those lakes mar the centres of population — as Halifax, for instance — being veiy much fished, afford less sport than those more remote. In setting out, from whatever point, to try his luck in the wilderness among these lakes, the stranger should always be accompanied by an experienced guide, to direct him from one point to another through such a labyrinth of watei-s as he is likely to find, and to point out the favorite haunl^s of their finny denizens. As to river fishing, — originaly nearly every stream in Novascotia flowing into tho sea, was a Salmon, as well as a Trout, stream. The most of them are so yet ; although some of them have been almost, and some few alto- gether, ruined through the causes mentioned above. Again taking Hal.'fax as one supposed point of departure, we will mention those streams most cele- brated among anglers, or in which fail' sport may be expected. In the Weste: n section of Halifax County, Nine-Mile River, Moser's, Indian, and Ingraham Rivers, afford fine sport. Farther West, in Lunenburgh County, Gold River is widely and deservedly famed as a salmon stream. The LaHave, once equally celebrated, still f^ffords fair sport, although it has been much damaged by the lumberman. Port Medway River again, in Queen's County, is cele- brated as " 3almon stream, and is visited by the salmon earlier in the season than almost any other in the Province. As a general inile, the salmon strike in first, in the early Spring, about this part of the coast, and from about this point gradually progress Westward and Eastward Fi-om Port Medway to the Western confines of the Province, all the more considerable streams produce salmon, although not ' very abundantly at present. Of these the Tusket will probably afford the best sport. Eastward of Halifax, we can scai-cely go amiss for good salmon and trout streams. Among those in the metropolitan county, Little Salmon River, West Salmon River, Musquodoboit, Ship Harbor or Charles River, and Tangier, merit especial notice. In Guysborough County, St. Mary's River has the reputation among anglers of being one of the best Salmon streams in North America. The Country Haa-bor river and other streams of this County afford fair sport. Of the rivers emptying into the Bay of Fimdy, the Annapolis and its tributary the Nictau, are noted trout streams. The Shubenacadie, its tribu- taries the Stewiack and St. Andrews, and Stdmon River oi Colchester, afford -4 .'".a«i.iu -.•ju. !!■!!

Among the rivers which flow into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Rivor Philip, in Cuml)erland, and the Marguree, in Inverness, have obtained an almost world-wide rei)Utation as fishing streams. It may V)e observed that the streams flowing into the Gulf are the especial resort of the Sea Trout in pre- ference to the other rivera of the Province ; and the two just named are par- ticidai'ly noted for their abimdance of these fine fish in addition to the more widely distributed salmon. Whilst thus niaking special mention of certain rivers, the reader must be again reminded that tliose only are named which have become most celebrated among anglei-s. To name all the fishing streams of the Coimtry — even all which may afford passably good sport — would be to incur the useless task of furnishing a catalogue of nearly all the rivei-s of Novascotia. "What with these and the almost innumerable lakes which dot the face of the Country, the angler can scarcely go amiss for the opportunities and facilities of indulging in his favorite pastime. A. R.

St. John, the " Liverpool of Am«nca," and the first city in New Bruns- wick in pojmhition, wealth and commercial importance, is commandingly situated at the mouth of the River St. John. The eiistern side, or city proper is built on the sides of a rocky peninsular, with the river and har})or on one side, and Couitenay Bay on the other side. In this part of St. John are the pu})lic buildings, and most of the business houses. The settlement on the west side is called Carleton. To the left is Portland pleasantly located. The situation of St. John is favorable. Its harbor is at the mouth of a river which, with its tributaries, has an almost uninterrupted navigable length of over eight hundred miles for steamei-s ; and a further navigable length for boats or canoes of about a thousand miles more ; and its entire freedom from obstruction by ice gives it great advantage over all the northern ports of this continent. At the entrance to the city is Partridge Island, circular in shape rising about seventy or eighty feet above low water, and contains about one hundred acres of land. On the Island is a fog horn or steamer whistle, which is sounded at regular intervals during the prevalence of fogs or snow storms, and can be heard at a distance of from four to eight miles. On the Island is a battery and a signal station ; also a hospital for the treatment of contagious diseases. Below Partridge Island and the city is a beacon light which is of great use to vessels entering the harbor in strong weather. The principal streets of St. John are King, Prince William, Water, Dock and Charlotte. King street, the Washington stx-eet of St. John, extends from the river on the western side of the city to 'Coui-tenay Bay on the eastern side. Looking up King street, what is called the " Bell Tower," is in prominent view. It is the entrance to King square, a beautiful plot of land containing about three acres, j and covered with large shade trees. In the centre of the scjuare is a fountain, j Some fine l)uildings are to be seen on each side of the scjuare. On the eastern side in the Court House, in which is the Common Council chamber. On the same side of the square as the Court House, is the " Old Burying Ground," one of tlie tombstones of which bears the following quaint epitaph : Now I am dead and in my grave, And all my bones are rotten ; Those lines you i. y see remember me ^ When I am quite forgotten. Queen Square is another public park, surrounded by handsome residences. On Germain street, at the corner of Duke, is the Victoria Hotel, the largest and best public house in the Provinces. Near by, on the op})osite side, is H\e Academy of Music, a theatre having a seating capacity of two thousand, (it is claimed). The new i'ost Office is the finest structure in the city. It is lo- cated at the corner of Prince William and Princess streets, extending back to Water street. It is ninty feet long by fifty wide ; three stories above Prince William street and four above Water street. It is built entirely of grey sand- -a 9) n 9) M ► O a > w CO a a! o o 93 ►8 O > o o en w » > C! H 2! H » > > S! CO '^CT- ! 1 ;i I >. 1' !, li ' 'i. .1 : ' m !

About a mile above the bridge, on the eastern side of the river, is INDIANTOWN, a thriving suburb of the town of Portland. The Lunatic Asylum occupies a height of land at the western end of the bridge, and pi-esents an imposing appearance from whichever side it is approached. It was elected in 1848 by the Provincial Goverment. The main building is three hundred feet long, with throe wings, one at each end, one hundred and fifty feet long, and one from the centre, one hundred and thirty feet in length. One half of the build- ing is devoted to male and the other to female i)atients. The average number of ])atients is two hundred. There are numerous drives in the vincity of -St. John, which we have not space to describe. Among them is that to Spruce Lake, seven or eight miles on the Manawagoiiish road. Down the Bay Shore to Mis])eck, stai-ting by crossmg Siarch Bridge, we soon arrived at the Penitentiary, a massive granite sti"ucture one hundred and twenty feet long, by forty-five feet wide. A little farther on is the Poor House, a large four-story building. Continuing the drive a di.stance of about eigiit miles, sometimes through a rich farming coun- try, and again amid the wiklest and most rugged scenery imaginable — now along the sea beach, with the waves rolling almost up to our horse's feet, and then peiched hundreds of feet above the waters, we arrived at ]SIis])eck, a lovely spot, rich in scenes worthy the attention of all tourists, and enough to drive an artist mad. Another favorite drive is to Loch Lomond, wiiere there is excellent fish- ing. There are thiee lakes in the Loch Loniond chain. St. John aboiinds in churches, as, with a j)opulation of less thai., -iO,000, it has 33 houses of wor- ship ST. JOHN RIVER. With opera-glass we tiike a farewell view of the city, sweeping oiir vision round the falls, and upward towards the high bluffs, through which the river flows. Two or three mUes up we encounter the Boars's Head or Oreen Head, with its nose running out into the water. A little farther, and to the right, the passage to the Kennebecasis opens,(here is where the boat races are made,) and to the left South Bay is seen. Nerei)is Point will be of interest as the place whore one of the first forts was built. Anon comes a stretch of twenty miles ; this is Long Reach — not without many pictures(pie scenes on the shelving hills. At Oak Point, a little village with a chuch, we stop the engine to take on a passenger ; and the mode of receiving and debarking passengci's on the river is a novel one. Small boats ])ut out in response to our whistle, and are '• boat hooked" along sitle as soon as they come within reach ; passengei-s enter or leave, small freight is taken or discharged, the dory is " boat hooked" ofi", and the ;iteamer pioceeds. "VVe arc now twenty-foui- miles from St. John, and near the head of the Reach, when the medows begin to stretch away to the far distant hlils. At GAGETOWN. is an old Court House, where English law is still administered, but the for- tress that once frowned defiance on the French is gone.

Ah you turn from the PenobHcot toward the mellifluea Mattawomkeag, and look northwestward over 50 miles of wilderness, you behold the grand isolated mass of Katahdin, touching the scattered clouds. Not the culminating peak of a gi'oup of lesser heights, not the imposing headland of a ridge? or chain, but lonely as Soracte soars over the lioman Campagna, and twice as heigh above its rugged, unlovely levels of swampy forest, it is a mountain to be thankful for, to rejoice in : I mur- mured to myself the ojtening stanza of Lowell's poem — " To a Pine-Tree." " Far up on Katahdin thou towerest, Purjtle-blue with the distance, and vast : Like a cloud o'er the lowlands thou lowerst, That hangs poised on a lull of the blast, To its fall leaning awful 1" — and 1 found that the mountain deserved the poem.

In furnishing a brief description of Prince Edward Island, wo shall not undertake to go far into details. In one respect this seems to be less requiste than in the case of the other Maritime Provinces; for, in the Island, the face of the country shows much less diversity in its natural features than that of those other Provinces. Doubtless Prince Edward Island is a beautiful country throughout almost its whole extent; but throughout that extent there is a great sameness in the characteristics of the scenery which rr.eets the visitor's eye. As to those general characteristics, — it is an every where undulating country, its eminence very seldom breaking into cliffs, and never rising to the ele- vation of mountains ; its lower lands never spreading out into broad expanses of interval, marsh or plain, such as are seen in the mainland Provinces ; its shores deeply indented upon every side with almost countless inlets from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which ramify often in a bewildering manner among the hills ; the lands clothed with a dense growth of timber ; the soil almost everywhere exceedingly fertile, with scarcely a rock, or stone, to be found in the whole island; such in general terms, was Prince Edward Island in its natural condition. But, of course, the hand of the husbandman has largely modified this general description. The population of the island must now (1876) bo somewhat in excess of one hundred thousand ; and this population, which is very generally disseminated over the face of the country, is almost wholly engaged in agricultural pursuits. Consequently a large proportion of the area of the countiy is in a high state of cultivation, it may here be mentioned that 8hi|>bui!ding is pretty largely carried on, — not only at Charlottetown and Summerside, the principal towns, but at many of the smnller outports. The fisheries are not prosecuted very extensively, although the Province presents great natural facilities for doing so. Cascum))equo and Tignish are the most considerable fishing stations on the island. From having been one of the worst provided with public facilities for inland travelling of any cf the Canadian Provinces, Prince Edward Island has suddenly become about the best. A few years since, the traveller making his \v:.y through the interior of the island, would fiivd it anything but a joke unless provided with a private vehicle. All is now changed. The Islanders having, in 1872, commenced railway con- struction, have done their work so thoroughly that but little more can be done in that way unless the locomotive is to be brought to every man's door. A railway runs from Tignish, at almost the extreme Northern point of the island, to Georgetown, — making, with the Char- lottetown Branch, a hundred and fifty one miles, — with a Branch o H H > 2!

Thus there are in all two hundred and nine miles of railroad in the island which, with respect either to area or popuhition, is a larger proportion, than that of any other Province, or State, in America. Charlottetown, the Provincial Capital, is beautifully situate upon a gently sloping tongue of land Jormed by the junction of the East lliver with the North and West Kivers. It is i*egularly laid out, with broad and airy streets and several reservations for public squares — unfortu- nately but little adorned as yet, — and is plainly, but for the most part substantially, built: The Colonial Building, containing the halls of the Local Legislature and certain Provincial offices, is a capacious and handsome edifice of Nova Scotia freestone, three storcj's in height, and occupying the centre of Queen Square. In appearance it rather eclipses the other public buildings of the place, of which Charlotte- town, as the seat of Provincial Government, has the usual quota. B( sides these there are in and in the environs of the town, no less than three colleges — the Prince of Wales (Provincial institution), St. Dun- stan's (Roman Catholic), and the Methodist College; also the Provin- cial Noimal Sc;hool, a capacious Convent, Lunatic Asylum, and various other edifices of a semi-public character. Government House, the resi- dence of the Lieut. Governor, is an unpretending, but commodious, structure, beautifully situated in the midst of very atti active grounds, in the immediate vicinity. Charlottetown may boast of one of the tidiest, best kept, and best supplied markets in the Dominion. The environs of Charlottetown afford some charming drives, present- ing fine views of wood and water, and tastefully laid out and well kept private grounds. At the same time the Fast (Hillsborough), the North (York), and the West (Elliot) rivers, present great temptations and facilities for boating and yachting. Tlie trip on the Hillsborough to Mount Stewart, near its head, is a favorite excursion of Charlottetown pleasure-seekers during the Summer months, and can scarcely fail to prove agreeable to the stranger tourist. As mentioned in a former part of this work, under the head of "Nova Scotia, the Prince Edward Island iSavigation Company's steamers run four times a week to Pictou and vice verm, and in like manner twice a week to Hawkesbury on the Strait of Canso. They also ply regularly between Charlottetown, Summerside, and Shediac. By another lino of steamers locally known as " the Phalen line," there is regular com- munication with Hawkchbury, Halifax, and Boston ; and by "Fishwick's Express line," with Halifax and the Eastern ports of Nova Scotia. The Quebec and Gulf Ports steamers, plying between Pictou, Quebec, and intermediate ports, also touch at Charlottetown. These arrangements, it must be remembered, are in operation only during the season of open navigation in the Gulf That means for from seven to eight months out of the twelve. During the remainder of the year, communication between Prince Edward Island and the mainland can only be effected by means of the " ice boats" which ply between Cape Tormentine and Cape Traverse, the narrowest part of the Strait of >forthumberland. It is always an uncomfortable and often an extremely perilous mode of transit. The idea has been gaining ground of late, that with a steamer a I S I rata »e cx- ! miles j hition, lie, in ipon a , lliver broad nfortu- st part 1 of the us and ht, and I rather I arlotte- 1 quota. 383 than ' >t.

It 18 mod© of jl a Btoamor )e 149 properly constructed for the service, regular steam communication can be kept up, during all of ordinary Winters, between Pictou, ur some point in that vicinity, and Wood Island, Murray Harbor, or some place thereabout on the opposite coast of Prince Edward Island. Doubtless the experiment will soon bo tried, and if successful the value of that success to the Island Province will bo incalculable. Summerside is in every respect, the second town in Prince Edward Island, and indeed its growth has been so rapid of late years that it bids fair to become soon a formidable rival to the Provincial Capital itself. Its local position has of course, had much to do with its pro- sperity. It is directl}' opposite Shediac, with which it has daily com- munication by steamers. That place having been for years the ter- minus of the " European and North American Railway" before the "Intercolonial," or even the " Pictou Branch, was completed, this fact gave a great advantage to Summerside. This place, like Charlotto- town, has a fine harbor: it is beautifully situated and has unquestion- ably a grt at future before it. Albertoii, in the more Northern vSoction of the island, is another rising town. Its harbor is one of the arms of Cascumpeque Bay, and is one of the very few ports of shelter on the Northern — or rather North-Eastern — side of the island ; for, strange to say, there is, in this respect, a remarkable contrast between the North Eastern and South- western side of this island. As to this same Cascumpeque Bay, — tastes differ as to what is attractive in scenery ; but wo suspect that most persons will concur Aviih us in saying that about Cascumpeque Nature has put on her best garb so far as Prince Edward Island is concerned. Georgetown, at the opposite extreme of the island and the County town of King's county, was for some years in a pining condition; but lattei'Iy it has been forging ahead and seems likely to hold its own against any other part of the island. It is justifiably the boast of Georgetown that its harbor remains open several weeks later in the Autumn, and is re-opened several weeks earlier in the Spring, than any other port in the island, — unless perhaps Murray Harbor. Consequently it is anticip:;tcd that Georgetown may bo eventually tho permanent gate of the Islanl. As a field for sportsmen, Prince Edward Island cannot, in every re- spect, bo recommended. Small game — that is, woodland game — is still to be had, but not by any means abundantly. On tho other hand waterfowl are very abundant. The patient stalker of the web-footed families will find almost any one of the more secluded, salt water inlets of this island a Paradise after his kind. As for fishing, owing to the conformation of Prince Edward Island, most of its streams above tide water are necessarily very short. Conse- quently there is not much variety of fresh water fish properly so called ; and of them — as trout for instance — they are for tho most part small. Should the toui'ist have a fancy to fish his own oysters, there is no place in North America where ho can do so more successfully than in Prince Edward Island. to » M O o O S3 O H > 1 1 f I ,' "M' ^' Caaey'a nome Powtlcm, Ricfaaril Dnrl.

ROARING WILLIE. !R.\TTLiNa, Roaring Willie, an ancient Border ministrel, aa a well-known character in the south of Scotland, in the time of James V. His hilarious title, Sir Walter Scott supposes, was de- rived from his bullying disposition ; but, we humbly think, is not precisely the terra which the great novelist ought to have employ- ed on the occasion. It rather does Willie an injustice ; for, although, ju'cording to Johnson, bully means no more than a noisy, quarrlesome person, yet usage has associated with it a cer tain degree of cowardice ; and we were apt to look on a bully as a vain-glorious fellow, who is mucb more ready with his tongue than his hands. Now, this was by no means the ease with Willie. He certainly was a rattling, roaring boy, as described by his soub- riquet : but he was no craven — very far from it. Ho could drink and tight with any man that ever handled cup or cudgel ; and was at all times as ready to bite as to bark. Indeed, it was his pug- nacious disposition that ultimately caused his destruction. lie killed, in a duel, which was fought with swords, one of his own profession, with whom he had quarried • and for this was, most iniqnitously we think, if we are rightly informed of the case, hang- ing at Jedburgh. Our intention at present, however, is, not to enter into a defense of Willie's character, which we suspect must now be left to shitt for itself, but to relate an adventure of his which is not very gene- rally known. Our 'jovial harper' once took it into his head to treat himself to a tramp through Fife, to see what kind of ale they brewed on the other side of the Frith, and, generally, to see what sort of living he nxight pick up there. Having come to this resolution, Willie slung his harp on his back, took a stout cudgel in his fist, and, after partaking of a Hawick gill with a crony in the ancient little town from which the celebrated measure just spoken of takes its name, he started, afid drank, and fought, and roared, and played his way through the country,till he arrived at the shore of Leith, wliere he intended ferrying over to Kinghorii. The ferry boat hadjust put off, when Willie reached the quay, all breathless and exhausted — for he had run every step of the way from Edinburgh, where he had stopped to refresh his inward man and ; where he would have tarried much longer in the discliarge of this important O W o !/{ H O f o r< 93 PI PI a > O 9) O < o '^.

On perceiving the latter pulling away from the shore — Ilaud there ! baud roared out Willie. Back, ye villains ! and tak me owre ; and I'll gio ye a stoup o' the best in Kinghorn." Obedient to Willie's summons— the more so, perhaps, on account of the promise that was associated with it— the boatman put about, and the minstrel was taken on board, and in due time safely de- posited on the opposite shore ; where, having redeemed his pledge to the seaman, he started for the interior of the country; and, after a walk of some fifteen or twenty miles, which he had tra- versed with various success, he made up to a respectable looking house at a little distance from the road, where he proposed to seek quarters for the night. The house alluded to was the residence of the laird of Whinny- hill, or Winnel, as he was more shortly called. Being a total stranger in the place, Willie assumed a modesty of manner and quietness of demeanor which, it must be confessed, were not amongst the number of his natural failings; but he felt that he could not, with propriety, use the same freedom here that he did in his own part of the country, where he was well known to everybody. It was, therefore, with this sort of mock-modesty, that Willie appeared at the laird of Whinnyhill's gate, and sought a night's quarters from a person who happened to be standing at the said gate when he approached. This person was the laird himself. 'A night's quarters !' said the latter, in reply to Willie's request, and, at the same time, eyeing him archly, and exhibiting a degree of respect in his manner which Willie was grievously at a loss to understand— 'that ye shall hae, sir— a score of them an' ye choose and the best that my puir boose can aftbrd, to the bargain." And after bestowing on his visitor another look of intelligence, which intimated a vast deal more than the latter could comprehend, the laird cenducted him into the house. On entering, Willie made directly, and of his own accord, for his usual quarters in such cases—the kitchen ; but this he did in direct opposition to the laird, who was conducting him towards his best apartment. On observing, however, that Willie insisted on taking the former course— ' Weel, weel, sir," he said, laughing, *ye will hae yer joke oot, I see ; but ye'll do me the honor' (this he said in a whisper) ' to join me ben the boose when ye tire o' yer amusement?' To this proposal, Willie, though perfectly at a loss to compre- hend the meaning of all this extraordinary kindness, readily as- sented ; but, in the meantime, proceeded to the destination which he had originally proposed to himself. Here he found assembled the domestic servants of the family—lads and lassies, to the uum- w n > O Vi > '/> o CO > > o PI H 'Jj c s o > r kL Tarr A: Wonaon's €opp«r Pai«l— Pickf*r > > •A > -A ri ■X > ■A o o X a M O •») o o » o aaey'ii II*r«e Powder*, Richard Oai-I, Drncsi*** Dartmoalh, IV.

Both the laird and his lady were delighted with their guest ; and it is certain that he was no less pleased with them. As it got late, however, the former retired from tfie apartment, and left her hus- band and Willie to finish the night and the bottle by themselves — a task which they instantly set about with great zeal and good will. Cup followed cup with nmrvelous celerity, and with each the bonds of friendship between the revelers were drawn closer aiid closer. They grasped each other's hands in the fullness of their hearts, and joined together in the choruses of the bacchanalian ditties, with which Willie, from time to time, at once varied and enlivened the festivity of the evening. It must be remarked, how- ever, that during the night the laird had more than once hinted to his guest that he knew more of him than he was perhaps aware of. " However, let that flee stick to the wa','' he would add. " I'm no ane to spoil ony body's sport, much less yours. Only tak my advice, sir, and tak care o' yoursel, if ye be gaun through the Middleraas wood ; for there's been twa or three loose-looking chiels seen dodgin aboot there since yesterday mornin." " Ye keu mair o' me than I'm aware of, my honest-friend," said Willie, on the occasion alluded to, in reply to his host's hints and insinuations, and at the same time slapping him on the shoulder- " I weel believe that, for I'm weel kent in the south country ; but bating the drap drink, and a sough about my hein rather fond o' the lassies, ye could hear nae ill o' me, I think." " Oh, no sir — the ne'er a bit," replied his host; " nae ill ava. Thae two things just comprehend the very warst I ever heard o' ye." " And as to the chields in the Middlemass wood, laird," con- tiuued Willie, ' I'll tak my chance o' them.

Ye haena said or dune a thing the nicht oot o' joint — a' clean and rich, us if ye had been at the trade a' yer life." ' The deil's in the man !' replied Willie in amazement, at the singularity of the laird's remarks, ' and havena I been at it a' my life — ay, sin' I was nae bigger than a pint stoup ?' 'Ah! ha! ha! very guid, very guid," roared out Whinnyhill. ta n O o I irkf«r. 169 1 O O H O r o o w o o V! o n -3 O W o o 9) o > •A Cm < X o a Q u n 00 IM O 0. u a »: o o CL. a < d u u (6 O a Cb o H Sr. C « o H ' Thereof? nac drivin ye into a corner, I see, sir.

Ilia example was immciliutely followed by "Willie, who, though far from being in a perfectly -sound condition, was yet, from long practice, better able to stand his drink than his ht>st. Still both were in duch a state that it was impossible their caro\ise could go on much longer; and accordingly, by common consent, it soon after came to a close, but not, ir must be observed, before they had finished every drop of drinkable liquor that stood before them. This accomplished, the laird, though his way was but a devious one, conducted the ministrel to his sleeping apartment, where he left him for the night; and here again the hitter's surprise was excited; by finding that he had been shown into what was evidently the best bedroom in the house, The sheets were as wliite as a wreath of snow, while the bed itself was of the softest > >■ > to 00 a M o o w o 9) O M It V I 1 ; ' li Ml ; i J I II 00 as 3 ■J ■< B ^^ o Q « O u. o u n 00 «^ of "SR -< X < •< eo' o c; •< oT < B o u -< a Oaacy'a ll*rse P«w4«ra, Hlckarri Dart, Drnagiati D«rtM*H)h, IV.

Hero, then, was ratlior an odd predicament for tlie southland harper. And lie folt it to be so. j ' Ta'om tor the King, as I'm a sinner!' said Willie — thus fidlow-j ing up the whistle of amazement with which ho had hailed the disclosure of the astounding fact. ' 'Od, this cowos the gowan ! I've mot wi' mony a (pioor thing in my life, but these boats a' oot and oot, as the weaver's wife said when she couldna tlnd an end to tho puddin.' And Willie forthwith |)rocoeded to ruminate in- ttrnally on the singular situation in which he now found himself ; and it was while thus ruminating that he was struck with the bright idea which forms the leading feature in the sequel of our talc. This idea was, to maintain tlio character which had been thrust upon him, and continue to onjoy tho good living whicli, judging from wliat he had already mot with, was likoly to accrue iVom the decc[)tion. lie determined, thorofore, to try ami throw a little more dignity into his manner, and to be a little more guarded in his languuge— a good deal of which lie folt would scarcely be becoming in a king, whatever character ho might choose to personify ; and, in conclusion, he resolved, in all cases whore ho should perceive that ho was nut mistaken for a priiu^o in disguise — which he was conscious would, after all, be but seldom— to give such hints as should induce tho tlosired belief; and, wboro it sliould appear to exist, to coniirm it by tho same moans. Having chalked out this lino of conduc-t for himself, and having indulged in a few more speculations on tin* subject, Willie resign- ed himself to sleep, and, in tho morning, awoke—a king in dis- guit?o. True to the r( 'utions ho had formed overnight, and not with- out ability to av.., up to them, Willo, on the laird's entrance! into the apartment in tho morning to iiKpiiro how ho had slept looked as majestic as ho could, and, in a familiar but condes- cending manner saluted him with — " Ila, laird! how dost? None tho worse for thy potations last nigh?

A toothfu' o' this,' tilling up a large cup, ' ' II keep the eanhl morning air att ycr stomacli ; for, nae doot, air, yours, after a', is just like ither folk's.' " Richt sooiul advice, laird, as I'm a —a sinner. I'll pltMlgo thee most cbecrfully,' said Wille, siretching out his hand to take the proltered cup, and thoreaftor draining it to the bottom w'th an eagerness and relish that amazed even the laird, who certainly thought it strange in a king. * Anitber, sir ? ' said the latter, encournged by the rapidity of his guest's execution, and looking at him slyl}* as he spoke. 'Wby, laird, I don't mind if I do,' replied Willie. 'It warms mo like a yard o* Welsh llannel. If my mother's milk bad been like that, laird, I would have been sucKing still!' Haying this he turned over another cup with undiminished gusto. Here in truth was a weak point in Willie's character. He could not resist liquor, and had the laird persevered in giving him more drink he would very soon have uidiingod him, for tliere is little doubt he would have forgotten his assumed dignity, ami have swallowed much more than became a king at that unreasoiuible hour. Luckily for his guest, however, the laird desisted from pressing the bottle farther, and this danger was avoided. Willie, conducted again by bis host, now proc!ced"d to an anart- ment where he found a sumptuous breakfast prepared lor him, of which he partook with an ajietite tliat impressed his host with a very high and satisfactory opinion of the state of his sovereign's health; and being a loyal subject the circuuistance tilled him with unfeigned joy. On the conclusiou of the repast — * Wcel, sir,' said Willie's host, * what direction do ye propose takin noo? I here there's to be a gran' haidin at Braijhend the nicht.

' Why, faith, mine honest friend, and these are just the quar- ters I like,' replied Willie, very well pleased to have got such a useful hint as to the direction he ought next to take. '15ut,' continued the laird, 'mind the Middlemass wood, sir, and keep a gleg eo about ye when ye'ro passin through't; for, as I was saying before, there's some gay unchancy chiels therhabouts enow.' w n o 3 D 99 T It i 'IT > 4i '■ 'M ill!

At parting, Willie took his host by the hand and said, with all the dignity he could muster, and with a look which was intended to convey than it would have been perfectly proper to express — ' Fare-ye-well, laird, and many thanks for ymr ho«pitalitv. Depoend upon it I will not soon forget it. It may stand thee in good stead some day.' And with this he walked ott' with as much majesty as he could conveniently assume, leaving the laird of Whinnyhill highly delighted with his good fortune in having had an opportunity of making the personal acquaintance and friend- ship of his sovereign. Willie in the meantime pursued his way, and after two or three hours' smart walking found himself entering the wood about which he liad been cautioned by his late host; and, although as indittbront to danger of the kind here threatened as most men, he thought there wouhl be no harm in keeping the sharp look-out recommended to him. lie now accordingly proceeded with a more wary step and kept peering around him as he advanced, to prevent his being taken by surprise. And it was not long ere he found that neither his own caution nor the hints which his late host had given him were un- necessary. When he had got about half way through the wood he perceived three or four suspicion? "ooking fellows skulking an.v»ngst the trees a little in advance of hira and directly in the route he was jnirsuing. *By St. Andrew, therr they are! ' said Willie, on observing the persons alluded to — ' the very chiels the laird spoke aboot, or I'm greatly mistaken.' And ho began to free his sword hilt from those parts of his garment which were likely to interfere with its ready use. Although some.vhat alarmed at the appalling odds against him, Willie resolutely held on his course till he arrived within a few pace of the foremost, who stood directly in his way with a drawn sword in his hand and who lie now perceived was masked and mufttod to the eyes in a cloak, as were also his companions. On perceiving the hostile attitude of the fellow, Willie also drew, stopped short an demanded the reason of his being thus in- terrupted in his peaceful progress. To this inquiry no immediate reply was made. The ruffians seemed doubtful of their object — indeed, Willie overheard them say as much ; and they appeared^ besides, rather disconcerted by his resolute bearing and by the circumstance of his being armed. This he al' o overheard.

Never were expressions more unluckily chosen — never imposition worse timed. ' It is him ! it is him ! shouted out the ruffians in reply. 'Down with the tyrant! — down with the spoiler! Strike, Geordie, strike, for a thousand merks.' And the whole rushed upon Willie at once, repeating their cries of 'Down with the tyrant! the spoiler !' &c. But this was much easier said than done. Willie instantly retreated before his enemies. But it was by no means from fear. lie was practicing a very ingenious ruse ; and it was one that he brought to a very successful issue assailant in order to seperate them • in this, he suddenly turned around who was nearest him was aware of IIo reiirod and, having and, before his intention. from his succeeded the man him feat, until ran through the body. Having accomplished the dexterous which he did quick as thought, he eontiuued his flight another had got considerably in advance of his companions, when he repeated the experiment, but this time by striking at desperate back blow with his sword, which, taking full elfectjon the face of his pursuer, inflicted a liideous wound that instantly dis- abled him from all further exertion. Tlie other two, seeing the fate of their associates, and horror-struck with the ghastly appear- ance of him that was just wounded, lost heart, and fled. But, for one ot them at least, this attempt was vain. Willie's blood was now up; and, not content with what he had already done, he gave chase, shouting out, as he pursued, ' Down wi' the tyrant, ye villiaus ! By St. Andrew, we'll see wha'll be daun first! If I dinna gie ye yor kail through the reek, may I never chew cheese again!' And with this — for Willie was as supple of limb as dex- terous and ready of hand — having overtaken the hindmost of the fugitives, he ran the flying ruffian through the back, who instantly fell forward on his face, a dead man. Thinking he had now done enough, and not a little exhausted with the exertions he had made, Willie, allowing the last of his assailants to escape, flung himself on the ground, to recover breath, exclaiming, as he did so, after a long drawn respiration, * Ilech, but this has been a deevil o' a touch job. This kingcraft 'ill never do. Here have I been as near mur- dered on account o't as ony decent man wad wish to be. I've nao notion o' the tred ava, whar ye'rc cuttlcd up ae nicht like a sick wife, wi' the beet to eat and drink, and the next to hae yer throat cut. It's no the thing, by ony means.' Such were the reflections in which Willie indulged on this occasion — an occasion which had shown him that the life of a king as kings and subjects wore in Scotland in his time, whatever res- pect it might procure him, in some instances was one of no small o f o o M > r > 58 09 to 00 u n 3 V o M >• r !

AIthou<;li, liowever, he had determined, from the experi-! ence which he had just had of the dangers of royalty, to resign' the character, and disavow all claims to its dignities very shortly,! he j-et resolved on going through with it for one day longer — thatj is, until he had tried what sort of treatment it would procure him' at Braehead, whither, the reader will recollect, he was now pro- ceeding ou the recommendation of th(5 laird of Whinnyhill. In tbis resolution, therefore, he in a few minutes started once more to his feet, and resumed his journey, leaving the dead hodien of the slain where they had fallen ; hut not, it must he ohserved, before he had carefully searched them, to see whether or not there I was any tiling about them to reward him for the trouble of killing I them. But in this he was disajipointed. On none of them was there any thing of the smallest value. * Od, ye've been as puir's mysel,, ho said, ou completing his fruitless scrutiny into the pockets of the deceased. ' Deil a bodle ! No as muckle as wad supper a midge.' Having said this, he rose from the kneeling posture in which his employment had reduced him, and, as we liave already said, re- saraed his march through the Middlemass wood. Leaving Willie to prosecute his journey, we request the reader to return with us to Whinnyhill, where we shall find a circura-j stance occurring which is iutimately connected with the denoue- ment of our tale. Shortly after the former's departure from the place just named, another stout carle of a mendicant apjteared at the laird's gate. I, was the dinner hour and, as was then customary in the country and is so still, we believe, in some places, the doors were all care- fully secured, and no egress or ingress permitted till the conclu- ' sion of the meal. To this e.Kclusion, however, the person now seeking admission to the laird's did not seem willing to submit, for he began to thunder at the gate with the impetuosity and ve- hemence that scarcely beseemed his very humblo calling, and as if this was not enough he shouttjd out at the top of his voice on the inmates to open the gate to him. Yet, however unbecoming his conduct, or however insolent it may be thought, it had the desired etfect of procuring him the service he wanted. The laird himself answered the call, though certainly more for the purpose of letting out his wrath on the noisy intruder than to let him in. *My feth, friend,' he said, his anger greatly increased when, on opening the gate lie found that it was a common vagrant who sought admittance, 'but ye're no blate to rap at folk's doors this l^aet. An' ye had been the best man in the land ye couldna hae been baulder. My certy, it's come to a pretty pass when beggars bang at )er door like lords!

Come, Winnyhill,' continued the free and easy beggar, at the same time slapping the former familiarly on the shoulder, '1 know ye man, I know ye to he a good honest fellow, and one wlio grudges nobody either bite or sup. So, let's have something to eat directly.' And he bestowed another hearty smack on the laird's slioulder. •By my feth, sirrah ! ' replid the latter, amazed and irritated at the singular ease and impudence of the mendicant, and above all at his presumptuous familiarity, ' but that's a new way to seek awmous. 'Od, froen, an' ye lack oiiy thing, it'll no be for want o' askin't.' ' Why, Whinnyhill, how should I get if I didn' ask?' said the mendicant. 'Take my word for it. Whinny, when you want a thing there's nothing like asking. Your modest fool always comes otf with an empty hand, and maybe an empty stomach tew. Why, man, dost think people will run after one ofloring one what one wants without solicitation ? No, no; and besides, a thing that's worth having is always worth asking." 'Ye're maybe no fiir wrang there, freend," said the laird; 'but ye'll allow me to say that ye're ane o' the bauldest, no to say ano o' the impudentest beggars I have seen for a while. Nevertlieless, ye may step into the kitchen there and get a mouth fu' o' what's gauu, but mind yo dinna kick up such a stramash at my yett again, when ye come seekin an awmous, or I'll maybe let yo cool your heels while yero win in, and tlmnkfu' if I dinmi set the dog on ye.' •TIjo beggar man he thuiii])0;l nt the yett Till tlie b<)ltiiuud again.

' An(l wha the deil cares whether ye like me or no ! By my troth, but ye're very oon- descendin ! ' | 'Well, well, Winny,' replied the mendicant, J attain laughing. 'But toll mo, how did you know the king in his disguiseV Are you sure it was him, after all ? ' 'Sure enough," said the laird gruffly, 'he mair than half con- tessod it himsel.* ! ' Oh, he did I — then there can be no doubt ot it — none. I should like to see his Majesty, laird. Pray, can ye tell me which way ho has gone!' !

And with this the laird was about to walk off, when tlie medicant, who continued to stand still where ho was, called him back and said — ' Laird, harkeo— canst keep a secret? ' 'If it's worth keopin maybe I can.' ' Well, then,' rejoined the former, ' although not very nice in these matters, I'm not altogether reconciled to taking my refection in your kitchen though, I confess it, most pariitularly hungry, and therefore ask you what would you think now if I was the KiniT and that person, whoever ho is, whom you took to be the King, was an impostor?' ' Wow, man, but that's a clumsy trick.' replied the laird, chuck- ling at his own ready sagacity and penetration. •I'm owre far north, lad, to be come owre that way.' ♦ Well, laird,' said the medicant (who— wo need conceal the fact no longer from the reader — was indeed no other than James him- self), '"well, laird,' lie said sniiiing, ' I assure j'ou your penetration is at fault this time, for I tell you I am the King, Whinny !

Tak my word for that.' Dropping here the dialogue we relate the sequel in simple nar- rative. It was in vain that James endeavored to tiacify the irritated laird, and to prevail upon him to let him have the refresh- ments of whi jh he stood so much in need.

'Nay, nay, now,' replied James, 'I really cannot emlure to see my sovereign in such an liumhle nituation as this— a situatinn so unworthy of his dignity. It is unseemly and painful to hihold. I will not endure it! ' 'But it is my pleasure, sirrah,' said Willie, angrily and impa- tiently, ' and that's aneueh. Sae, niak' nor meddle nae mair wit or ye'll mayhe rue't. Do ye think I want to nniko a spectle o' myael ? ' ■ ' Excuse mc : hut ponitively, sir, I insist on your being treated with more respect. 1 must inform the laird of your htnng hi re.' And. without waitin*; for any further remonstrance on the snhjeet from Willie, or jtaying any attention to his anxious calls to him to return, the dis<^'nised momirch hurried out of the apartment and desired one of the servants of tiie iiouse to inform his master that a person wished to speak to him on important business, and that he would find him in front of the ho\ise. llavii.g dispatched this message James walked out, and at a little distance, awaited the laird's appearance. On his approach— 'Well, laird," said the King, 'dost know me'/ 1 think thou siiouldst. We have seen each other before.' Tlie person thus addressed looked silently and earnestly lor some time at the (lisguised monarch, as if perplexed hy the tpu's- tion, but at length eagerly and joyously exclaimed, at the sumo time doffing his cap or bonnet with the most protouml respect— ' I (4o, sir -I y\o. \ o\\ arc the King I ' 'Hush, hush," said Jaines.

In this, however, Willie himself saw nothing derogatory, and therefore continued to swallow all that was offered him, till he got, as was usual to him in such cases, into most exuberant spirits, when ho began to entertain the company with some of his choicest songs and stories, and with the usual effect of ' setting the table in a roar.' Willie was, in short, in a fair way of becom- ing, if not king of Scotland, at least king of the company ; and had attained about mid career in his bright track of jollitication when a messenger entered and informed the master of the house that a person desired to see him on business of importance. The laird, instantly obeying the summons, withdrew. In a few min- utes, however, he returned, and with an air of surprise ana per- plexity said, but more particularly Willie — 'GenJemen, here is a very strange matter. Here has a person arrived at my house who insists on it that he is the king, and demands admittance.' 'Admittance I ' roared out Willie, evidently a good deal discom- posed by the communication — 'on no account admit him, laird. Tie the imposter neck and heel and throw him into the nearest burn ? Pack him off instantly ! ' Nay, Nay, sir,' replied the laird; 'I think we had better admit him and leave it to you and him to decide which of you has the best claim to the dignity.' And before Willie could make any far- ther objection James himself was ushered into the apartment. On his entrance — ' Where,' he exclaimed with a fierce frown — 'where is the im- pudent varlet that has been imposing on the increduality of my subjects by assuming my i-.cognito? Art thou the knave ?' he immediately added, and now addressing Willie, who, completely crestfallen, was.looking at liim with the most rueful expression of countenance imaginable. 'And if I am man,' said Willie in a piteous tone in reply to this home charge, ye needna make sic a stramash aboot it, nor look sae dooms angry either, I'm sure yer royalty's no a whit the waur o' me haen't on for a wee bit, and, guid ken's yo're welcome till't back again, for it dosena tit me. Sue tak it, sir, and muckle guide may't do ye ! ' Here James could contain his gravity no longer, but burst into a loud laugh. 'And what, you knave,' he said 'put it into your head to i>ractice this imposition ? You have fairly deceived Whinnyhill.' 'The ne'er a bit o' me did that, sir,' said Willie, now somewhat relieved of his fears by the king's good humor. 'He deceived himsel' And hero Willie related, to the great amusement of James, the conversation which he liad overheard between the laird of Whinnyhill and his wife, and concluded with, ' So you see, sir, he made me a king whether I wad or no, and as he put on the If ■It '■'i M i > ! ■3 is o a a X o a u n 00 of Hi •< O Caf y*B *rari(e Powaer^, Ricfannl Dnr:, nnissifii, Darlmonth, ff. »., Agent. 186 coat I just vvore't, although it was like to cost me dear aneuch in the Midcllemass Wood.' ' I've heard of that too, sirrah,' replied the king, again laugh- ing, 'and it is for the good service thou didst me there that I now feel disposed not to hang you.' 'That's an ugly word, sir.' ' Go to, go to, you knave ! ' said the good humored monarch, smil- ing, and at the same time drawing forth a vvell-lilled purse from beneath his outer garment, and thereafter throwing it towards Willie — ' There, sirrah, take that and get thee gone, but mark me, ray royal brother, see thou dost not try this prank agahi, else your quarrel and mine may be a more serious one than it has been on this occasion,' Glad to get off on such favorable terms, Willie sneaked out of the apartment without m.aking any further remarks, and next day set out on his return to his native district, forswearing kingcraft and the kingdom of Fife forever. WIT AND HUMOR. A lawyer is not a necessity for necessity knows no law. Obviously the eorrrect drink after Dutch oysters — Hollands. — Judy. Men arc geese, women are ducks, and birds of a feather flock together. A modern cssayest defines " gossip " to be the •' putting of two and two together and makint^ five of thorn." "I go through my work," as the needle said to the idle boy. not till you are hard pushcci," as the idle boy said to the needle. But " What! no moi-n ammunition ?" cried the captain of a n.ilitary com- pany on a field-day. "Then, ah I cease firing," replied the ofllcer. Kuskin says in a recent work that women, If they wish to, could easily put a stop to war, that all war is for their sake, and because they desire it. M > o SI O < W O 2!
