Finally shaking itself loose from Blomidon the
steamer pufed across the narrowest part OF
the bssin to the north shore and to Partridge
Island, which IL 90 called, first because
ne sucH rHINs ~ A PARrEIDos
was ever seen upon IL and, sssend, because 1t
II not an island. We landed at long, strongly
built pier with openings at different heights in
its end and aids to permit landings to be made
1t different stages Of the tide Our hotel was
found to be an eld-fashioned country boarding
house nsar the end of the pier. Walking to-
ward the bay Of Fundy from the hotel We
picked our way along . wonderful beach, q
mass OF pebbles, several hundred feet wide at
low tide, IN which shells and geological spsci-
mems Of great interest are found. Following
ths curve ct this beach We soon found ourselves
under the eliza Of promontory, which here
pushes out into the basin. Leaving the ladies
to collect specimens climbed by q
eirsuitous path to the top OF the
Promontory and enjoyed fine view from
cliff: The Junction Of the basin Of Minas and
the bay OF Fundy, outlined by Capss Sharp and
Split, lay before me, and across the basin frown-
Ing Blomidon aimed at me its forest guns.
The tide was now low and we were able to explore
the beach on both sides of the cliff. 1t was
interesting to walk close to the foot Of the per-
psndicular rocks, where only a short time ago
big waves were dashing and to gather waits
from the sea, shells and weeds, amsthysts,
acadialyts and other 'lyteo. The best speci-
mems Of amethysts are found on the opposite
shore at Cape Blomidon, but there was enough
OF geological material to be found at Partridge
Island We collected something less than ton
of specimens, SO that our trunks hencsforth
became the sources of temporary suspicion and
joyful expectation to customs officers and of un-
varied bitterness of spirit to porters along our
homeward route. These specimens, with the
willow bark from Grand Pre- are our only per-
manent reminders of Nova Scotia. Our efforts
to obtain az q characteristic souvenir q blue
nosed image made OF Goldfish scales was unsuc-
csssful, and we had no facilities for the con
venient conveyance OF chunk of the fog.

alike injured and exasperated by the protect
i've systsm which cuts them Of frem free inter-
course with their natural marke to in the United
btatss. Frenshman and "Brisisher," Roman

are wrsngling and snarling.
In the republic the intense heat Of American
nationality and national pride fuses TO some
extent diverse races In Canada, where no
strong common spirit Of nationality can be said
to exist, every prejudice Of race and religion il
kept alive and fostered.
The proud thoughts Of the French Canadian
turn to Paris. The pride Of the English Cana
dian is IN London. The thoughtful and sensi-
tive native Canadian not of French descent
fnds no place to which he can turn for the
ENJOYMENT of pride Of nationality. He is by
birth en- American, but that name and all the
modern history of his continent and an intense
nationality and national pride belong to the
people OF the great republic to the south of
him. with whom his interests and largely his
sympathies lie, but with whom he may not
unite politically without reproach. He feels
that he is alienated from the tendencies and
aspirations OF the continent Of his birth; that
ne Is merely a despised colonist, species Of
poltlcai outcast, like the man without a coun-
try, or a citizen of the District of Columbia.
Some change will surely happen in Canada.
Either the colonies will receive through fed
GRAFTON scheme representation in the councils
OF the British empire. and Canada will thus
be drawn closer to England, or the English
provinces of the Dominion, which are grad
ually assimilating themselves to the republic,
will be admitted to the union of states. The
press of the republic furnishes the exchanges
OF the Canadian press, and the tone of the
latter Is American rather than European. The
process of assimilation goes on with satisfac-
tory rapidity. The Dominion is being Ameri-
canized, though it is not being annexed. In
time the thoughts of the Canadians will turn
toward annexation. The isolation and humil-
iation of the colonial position will not be for
ever endurable, and the signs OF the times do
not point to relief by grant of representation
in the British parliament 7. w. MOVES.

"He rests In God" IT'S all we read:
The mouldering stone reveals no more.
"ln God OF other words what need?
These span the broad eternal shore.

Neglected In the place of tombs,
With spicy, golden sweetness crowned.
And deep within its leafy breast
Some tuneful bird has sought q homo.
The tiny broo within the nest
Fearless and free to go and come.
A holy quietude Is here,
Save where the happy birdlings song
Breaks through the stiffness pure and clear.
And echoes the dark frs among.
Sleep on, sleep on. thou pulseless heart
Where Jasmine stars drop golden rain.
From every troubled thought apart,
Forgotten every earthly pain.
Sleep on; thy long repose is sweet;
Tender and cool thy grassy sod.

We left at once, climbing over under and

their strength of build and durability Of ma

Our landlord at WolfvilIe. the town next to

scene when the dykes were then swept away
~ seems that one Of the farmers had Noah
hke. predicted the coming Of great food. and
on the day hxed had marched himself down to
tee meadows, and, notwithstanding jeers, had
driven his cattle from the dykes to the high
ground The high tide and food came accord
ing 10 prophecy, and the cattle of the mocking
neighbors Of the prophet were. in the main.
swept away and drowned. The dyke system.
as nov seen from Grand Pre-. Is in excellent
