British empire are the perlls and honors of the
naval profession better understood than on the
shores of Nova Scotia, for here, although much
attention is given to the successful cultivation

sea are braved, as on the other maratime pro-
v1hces OF TINS great country, by thousands of
intrepid seamen. It's painless fields are made

sailors, and its wealth gathered by your gallant
fishermen and the arts of navigation are
