Dear H: In the last portion Of my

up the journey again. This route
has Of late years become very pop

steamboats,, plying on its waters.
and excellent, well-appointed ho-
tells at various landings. Wethere-
fore embarked upon one OF these
fairy.like steamers, a perfect gem
in its way, and as our appetites were
sharpened by our drive in the brac.
ing air of early morning, we were
just in condition TO properly appre-
ciate the delicious breakfast spread
for the passengers in the saloon.
Some of our party discussed the
salmon with great relish, but my
taste was better suited by the white
fish, than which nothing edible could
possibly have finer or more deli
cate favor. which, with good coffee,
fresh butter, literally fresh, with
out any salt at all, universal Scotch
custom in summer, and rolls, like
snow-balis, made altogether one Of
the most enjoyable breakfasts it has
ever been my good fortune to make,

digestive organs, it was made very
hurriedly, lest our physical should
intefere with our mental pleasures,
