The Isle of Man.

There is patch on the Irish sea
called the Isle of Man. On a sunny
day the highlands of Ulster, in Ireland,
and of Galloway, in Scotland, are WISH
BILE from its western shore, and from
the summit of Snaefell mountain,
England. is seen fretting in the golden
haze across the sea. Small as this
island is, it has government of its
own, and thrilling and eventful his
tory. Hawthorne found it out while
he was a consul at Liverpool, and has
praised it in his English Notebook"
Scott gathered material for "Pevesil of
the Peak" from its romantic scenery
and legends, and Wordsworth COM
memorated visit to it in a sonnet.
In its greatest length the island
measures about thirty-three miles, and
in its greatest breadth about thirteen.
In circumference it is seventy-fIve
miles, excluding the sinuosities of the
bays and it contains superficial area
of about one hundred and thirty thou
sand acres, or two hundred and three
square miles. Enjoying the benefits of
the Gulf stream, the climate is singu-
larly mild and genial, and there are few
other places in the world where the
difference between summer and winter
is so slight. AS to the healthfulness OF
the climate, you would find proof in
the native girls-rosy checked, active
and gleeful and the men are as stall
wart, masculine and handsome a race
as breathe sea air.
Most of the coast is rocky and wild,
boar with the fOam of the turbulent
sea that surrounds it, and indented
with capacious harbors and innumer-
able creeks but in the north the land
sinks into low pasturage. and meets
the water on the glistening pebbles OF
smooth beach. The interior includes
nearly every kind of natural scenery
heather-clad, balsamic hills, plains
richly cultivated, wide reaches Of
prickly gorse as drear as Yorkshire
moors, and the prettiest of cascades
The enchantment of northern land
dwells in its subdued light and on Its
mist crowned heights.
Sleepy villages are perched on the
cliffs where once the beacon-fres of the
wreckers allured many goodly shiI
to her doom. In the bays where the
pirates hid themselves of old, fly the
white sails of pleasure boats. The
present invaders are not Romans
