THE LOAN Bibl.

Tite Confederation tune which the ‘ Islander”
unceasingly grinds, is about as anvaried and unin-
teresting as the braying of adonkey. We must con-
feas that we esoudt-uuderstand the logic of our con-
temporary when he savs that ab Hoylish loan will
prove an injury to the Colony, whilst # subsidy of
$300,000 {roi Canada will prove # benefit. The
principal grievauce which tae ‘* Islander ” discovers
in the loan is: that local capitalists, who ‘have thelr
money now invested in warrants and other Govern-
meut securities beariog six per cent. interest, will
be forced to employ it for the future either in ha-
tardous enterprises or else to lock it up in their
safes to their own loss aud that of the community.
Well, we imagine, in our simplicity, that the Cana-
dian subsidy would have pretty much the same ef-
fect ; and as to the difference between the loan end

us examine for amoment. The loan, if obtained, is
to be payable in tweuty years, and will, as far as

promise the Dominion that it will be very ‘te troubled

advanee the cause of union much more: effectually than

with very little trouble. At all events, a few daya will
decide the matter, and it is scarcely worthy of the dig-
nity of the Islander to crow over the defeat of the Loan
antil the facts warrant him in doing so.

A VISIT TO SOMERSET,

At no period of the year has the country so many at-
tractions ag at the time of baymaking. At no otber
time is the citizen, loathing dusty streets, overpowered
with the sultry atmosphere of the town, and needful of
some: healthy recreation, more tempted to participate in
the enjoyment which a “drive through the rich and ad-
vaneed settlements of the Island affords. The charm-
ing aspect of the well-cultivated farms, on which the
eye loves to dilate, the numerous scenic features of no
ordinary character that abound on every side, and the
balmy breeze, wafting the delightful odor of some mea-
dow, and so bracing and refreshing during this warm
srason,—all contributed to induce us to take the oppor-
tunity favorably presented of visiting the delightful lo-
cality of Somerset. Irrespective of these considerations,
an invitation to assist at one of the solemn and impres-
sive ceremonies of the Catholic Church, kindly extend-
ed to us by the Rev. and very worthy pastor of the
parish, afforded us an additional and whore cogent rea-
son for adopting this step, As we drove along we
found much to command our admiration. We rejoiced
to find that the crops in the different settlements through
which we passed are so promising. The fields, beam-
ing with an abundant harvest, here a blooming plot of
potatoes, there a beautiful slope of mpening oats, diver-
sified by fields of wheat, barley, turnips, and all the
other products of the soil—everything in thriving con-
dition—give our httle Island such a lovely and charm-
ing appearance as well entitles it to the appellation of
“The Garden of North America.” Other countries
may have their fofty mountains, their sublime cataracts,
that strike terror into their bebolders, their mighty tor-

our knowledge of the stireamg events connecied with the

us an inner view of the life of that distinguished

was devoted to the instruction and benefit of his fellow-

have passed gently over the boundaries which separate
time from eternity, and who are embalmed in the affec-
