Sarsaparilla,

to any other. The fore-funner of mod- ern blaed medicines, Ayer® Sarsaparilla is stijl the most pop- ular, being in great- er demand than all others combined,

* Aver’s Sarsaparilla is selling faster than ever before. I never hesitate to recommend it.’”’— George W. Whitman, Druggist, Albany, Ind.

‘7 am safe in saying that my sales of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla far excel those of any other, and it gives thorough satisfac- tion.”—L. H. Bush, Des Moines, Iowa.

“ Ayer’s Sarsaparilla and Ayer’s Pills are the best selling medicines in my store. I can recommend them conscien- tiously.”—C. Bickhaus, Pharmacist, Roseland, Ill.

*“We have sold Ayer’s. Sarsaparilla here for over thirty yeers and always recommend it when asked to name the best blood-purifier.”— W.\{T. McLean, Druggist, Augusta, Ohio,

“T have sold your medi@ines for the last seventeen years, and always keep them in stock, as they are staples.

4 Trip Through the Eastern Part of Kings County.

‘*Is New York as big as Souris?” asked a verdant Northsider of his cousin who had just returned from the United States. ** Wall, I guess and calkerlate it is,” re- plied the traveller. Although Souris is not so large a city as New York, nevertheless it is a growing town, and itand the coun- try in its vicinity, will repay a visit. The writer went over the route. from Mount Stewart to Souris some time ago, and noticed some points by the way that were interesting, and which, taken in connection with reminiscences of former days, may justify a description. It has been said that the scenery of P. E. Island has a terrible sameness about it; but to our mind the diversified aspect of the country is most pleasing.

As the train pulls out from Mount Stew- art, the lofty spire of the Roman Catholic Church at St. Aodrew’s is one of the first striking objects that meets the eye. What memories the sight of that place brought to my mind. Here, in 1867, it was our fortune to be sent to take the poll at St. Andrew’s. The polling place was Carey’s Inn, one of those country hotels in vogue before the Scott Act closed all houses of entertainment for travellers out- side of the cities, There was neither rail- way, nor telegraph nor telephone in those parts at that time; and with the exception vf the stage coach, no means of travelli other than private conveyance. The 17 of April was election day; sand, as the weather had been fine and spring-like ‘for some time, the snow was nearly all gone. Consequently travelling was a much greater difficulty thanit is now. As so often hap-

‘ There is nothing so g for the youth- ful blood’ as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.”— R. L. Parker, Fox Lake, Wis.

“‘Aver’s Sarsaparilla gives the best satisfaction of any medicine I have im stock. I recommend it, or, as the Doctors say, ‘I prescribe it. over the counter. It never fails to meet the cases for which I recommend it, even where the doctors’ prescriptions have been of no avail.’”—C, FY, Calhoun, Monmouth, Kansas. *

Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, however, Mr. Whelan resolved to continue his jour- ney to Charlottetown; and, after getting the figures from St. Andrew’s polling dis- trict—although he knew he was defeated before he got them—he set out on his long hard drive.

| where he would have been raost welcome; but go he would, and go he did, and his health never peeovered from the shock it then received. Surely St. Peter's will yet mark its appreciation ot the many services its late representative rendered its people, by erecting a fitting testimonial to his worth.

The next morning the snow was piled in heavy drifts on all the roads, and travelling was out of tthe question. Several days elapsed before the highways became pass- abie, and content we had to be with our quarters. To while away the time -was a vital matter, for neither books or papers were accessible, and consequently, when the immediate neighbors gathered in dur- ing the evening, the most popular was he who could tell the best story or sing the best song. Among those who thus could best pass away the time was OC———, a resident of the vicinity and an excellent raconteur of those thrilling experiences that have so great a charm for the ears of the listner. Many were the tales he told of strange and terrible experiences in that very neighborhood, and of the sounds and sights at Mount Stewart House, seme few miles away. The house in which Carey kept his inn was an old log building, built in former days, and it was not without its history. In one of the rooms up stairs a man was said to have hanged himself by making a rope of the bed clothes; and C—— gave a startling description of his experience with the ghost of the suicide. The noises heard in the old Mount Stewart House, and the desperate ride he had from Savage Harbor one dark night, pursued by a head- less horseman mounted on a white steed, formed interesting and blood-curdling chap- ters, calculated to cause the eyes to stick out and the hair of the listeners to rise, many of whom were breathless with excite- meit. One night, after listening to a number of these thrilling romances, the company assembled —noumbering half a dozen or so—were startled by hearing a

crashing noise and a terrifying scream. All started as with one impulse to their feet, and

| cried with bated breath ‘*What is that?’ j It was, however, a great relief to all to find

that no terrible calamity had happened. The servant girl had been listening to the stories told around the kitchen fire; and having occasion to go into another room where there was no light, left the door open behind her. Oneof the young men present, wishing to test her nerves, threw an old book after her, which, striking heavily on the wall, caused the crash and evoked the terrifying screams we heard. After the strangers had dispersed came the trying ordeal for those who remained, None would admit they were very sleepy, and, as the writer was to occupy the same room that old W—— was said to haunt, neither did he feel over-anxious to court the charms of *“‘nature’s sweet restorer.” When, howeyer, the hour became so late that no further excuse could be offered for lingering, excepting the inadmissable one of fright, to bed we went and—slept till morning without disturbance. The ghost was not around that night. But enough of this old reminiscences. We must look around and see where the rail- way is taking us. Opposite St. Andrew's on rising ground to the south side of the Hillsboro’ River, is situated the beautiful

tryet of land and camgfortable qnd poring

residence of David Egan, Esq. Mr. Egan's new dwelling house is one of the finest in King's County, and with the grand avenue of trees and handsome flower beds and lawn in front of it, forms a most pleasing feature in the landscape. A little to the west of where Mr, Egan's home is situated, once stood Hillsborough Castle, long the residence of the Alleynes, a West Indian family that occupied ‘8 (oe minut position in the ‘The Mr. Alleyne took great pride in his sur- roundiugs, especially his orehard, in which he had « large number of fine trees. Un- fortunate business speculations of his suc- cessors, however, com the sale of the old escate, and Mr, Egan became the pur- chaser some few years . Near Mr. Eyan’s lives Alexander Me of Allisary, one of the pioneers of this

ince, whose forefathers eraigrated from Scotland about the year 1772.

After passing St. Andrews the next place of interest is Savage Harbor. Here the French had a settlement when the white lilies of France was the oriflamme of Isle St. Jean ; and many incidents in the early history of the Island were located between this place and St. Peter's Harbor, Old relics of the French occupation are often discovered, and near here some years ago «a church bell was found, that subsequently was removed to, and yet does duty at Roilo Bay. But Mr. Caven’s new book will soon be

| published, amg he no doubt will give us the

teresting ry of this and other parts ot the under the French. As ° journey along we Morell River, no for es cieslives hexane salmon tishing, and for its long floating bridge. At Station quite a number of nice houses are built, among which those of the Mosars. Cox are the most prominent, Quite an important fishing and general business is carried on by Robert N. Cox at St. Peter's Harbor and Morell, and a number of Nova Scotian fishermen and their families have located here wichia the last few years, All

around, on every side a fine

farming country can be seen. At Morell Rear the Sinnotts and others have farms and homesteads hard to beat, and the whole appearance of the settlements indicates that the people are making progress. North- ward from Morell we noticed a fine man- sion, large and handsomely finished in every way, and on enquiry ascertained that it was the residence of the Websters, one of the best kaownand most res e families in that part. We understood that it was in- tended to utilize this place for a summer resort, and, judging from the natural ad- vantages in the immediate neighborhood, it is eminently fitted for that purpose. Along past Morell, and from thence up to the Head of St. Peter's Buy the railway runs through a fine farming country, and the view is one hard to equal, i across the Bay we see the beautiful farms of Greenwich settlement sloping gently down towards the water with clumps of a crest here and there, giving that park-like appearance so noticeable in many parts of the Island. Away out towards the ieft hand we see the white sandhills at St. Peter's harbor, and the fishermen’s boats lazily riding on the glistening waters of the bay. Tothe north the blue waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence reflect skies of Italian hue, capped here and there with white flecks of foam where the breakers show some hidden reef.

Inwards, the view is one characteristic of this fair isle. Field and forest intermingle in pleasing contrast. The deep, dark green of the firs, the lighter hues of the deciduous trees, the dark red of the soil, and the various colors of the different cropa, make a picture. Al) harmonize; and, with the white buildings of farmers to give life to the scene, the whole forms a_ perfect feast of color, only equalled by one of the autumn sunsets that this place is noted for.

Prominent in the view near St. Peter's Bay is the new brick church, lately erected. The parish of St. Peter’s Bay is the birth- place of Bishop McIntyre, and His Lord- ship has a tender place in his affections for this locality. What St. Andrew's was to the late Bishop McDonald, is St. Peter's Bay ta his successor; and it is mainly through this feeling, as well as to the liberality of the people, that St, Peter's has so magnificent a apecimen of church architecture. The new bridge at St. Peter's Bay is one of the finest public worksinthe Province. Straight as an arrow, for over a thousand feet it rans from shore to shore, and long will this

reat work redound to,the credit of the Govieinaealis that caused its erection. There is quite a large settiement at St. Peter’s Bay. Here many roads meet, and the railway station affords accommodation to a wide tract of couatry. The advaatages of St. Peter’s Bay as a summer resort are very apparent, aud we feel assured that a large hotel conducted on modern principles would pay well. Good accommedation is now provided for the transient traveiler by the houses there located ; but what is want- ed is a hotel like the Seaside at Rustuco or Shaw's at Brackley Point, where Canadians aod Americans could svjoura for the sum- mer months. G. F. O.

William Thackeray was walking one day in a *‘slum” district in London and sudden- ly came upon a band of gutter children sitting on the pavement. They were sing- ing. Drawing nearer he heard the words, “There is a happy land, far, faraway.” As he looked at the ragged choristers and their squalid surroundings, and saw that their le faces were lit up with a thought which rought both forgetfulness and hope, the tender-hearted cynic burst into tears. And now the fun begins. A Cincinnati physician has been sued for $5000 on ac- count uf blood poisoning of a patient,caused by an experiment with the “* elixir of life.” Less than 1500 miles of railway were constructed in the United States the first half of 1889. This is only half as much as was built ia the same period last year. Lockmen say that the amount of grain Corawal! cana)
