To the People of P. E Island :

Fettow Canapians, ~-If your local news- papers fairly represent public opinion in P. E. Island, there must be considerable dis- satisfaction among you at the present time owing to the irregularity of your mails. It must certainly be pleasant to have daily mails between your Jsland and ‘the mainland. You used to be satistied with semi-weekly mails carried across the Straits in a 5-knot sailing craft. Yow had no rail- way then, nor special train” to carry the mails. Tam glad ‘to find that though you are in the habit of grumbling a great deal at all seasons Of the year, you are an ambi- tious kind of people, and want all the con- veniences enjoyed by those who live upon the continent. You complain if your mails, forinstance, are pot brought over to your little Island every day in winter as well as in summer; and if a special train is not in waiting at the Capes or Georgetown, as the case may be, to carry them swiftly forward to the great business centre, Charlottetown, complaints increase on all sides, especialiy among business men and commercial fdrura-

‘Enongh,” said Norna, “and now fare | well, with guch a blessing as 1 dare jnot a word more! Maidens,” she

The sibyl was obeyed ty Minna with awe, jand by Brenda with fear; the one over ,mastered by the warmth of her im»gination, ithe other by the natwal timidity. of her ‘constitution. Norna then © dismissed ‘them, | and in tivo minutes afterwards ‘they found I thereele es beyond the bridge and standing upon the rocky platform in’ front of the ancient Pictish Burgh, which it was the pleasure of this seg hestéred female.to inhaljit.

For ‘several ininutes, the suddenly and unexpectedly expell

party, thus lled from the

I imagine that if a special were put on now between the Capes and Charlotte other parts of the Island, such as Summerside, Tignish, Georgefown ‘and Souris would be looking for a special too, their mails. And why not / Surely ali these places are as tifueh entitled tv a mail special as is the capita] ‘ ity.

But while ‘you are so exacting in your demands for daily crossings to your Island, aud a special to meet the mails un ‘their ar-

town,

rival at your board ice, do you ever think about us poor people who live on the Magdalen Islands? who

only get a mail from the outside world once a week by the old steamer Beaver, during the summer season, and none atall during the winter. The Magdalen Islands, as many of you know, are not so very far away. They are sitcated almost im the

ery centre of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Their most southern point is only about ‘fitty miles from the East Point of your Is- land, and about sixty from Cape North in

‘ape Breton. The French population of — Islands alone nuinbers over 4000, We have four commodiocus Catholic Churches, with ws many Catholic clergymen, and one Protestant clergyman with a hundred or se followers ~— We have convent schools, which are well patronized by our people. Alto- gether, we are as) péaceable and as God- fearing a class of people as are to be found ,within the broad Dominion. We. pay our share towards the various branches ~of the publi¢ service, and still we have only, a» J have already said, one mail a week in sum- mer and none atall in winter. If we were only half as highly favored as you are, how happy would we be. But, it may be asked, is there no remedy fer our utter isolation during the greater part of the year? I

Brenda was the first who brought matters toa | point, by asking whither they were to go, and how they were to spend the night? The} question, which was asked in a ‘tone, that, | amides its simplicity, had something dok »rous in it, entirely chang ed the train of her father’s ideas ; and the unexpected perplexity of their situation now striking him in a comic view, he laughed tall his very eyes ran over, While every rock arcuud him rung, and the sleeping sea-fowl were startled from their repos, by the loud, hearty explosions of his obstreperous hilarity.

The Udaller’s daughters, eagerly represent- Ming to their father the risk of, displeasing Norma by this unlimited indulgence of his

farthvwr distance from her dwelling. Magnus, yielding to their strength, which, feeble as it was, his own fit of laughter rendered him incapable of resisting, suffered himself to be pulled te aconsiderable distance from the Burgh, and then escaped from their hands, and sitting down, or rather suffering himself to d¥op, upon a large stone which lay con- veniently by the wayside, he again laughed there was in these re-

daughters became afraid that something more than natural peated convulsions.

At length his mirth exhausted both itself and: the Udallexr’s strength. He groaned heavily, wiped his eyes, feeliag some desire to renew caciHinnaticns, “ Now, by the Magnus, my would imagine that being turned out of doors at this time of night, was nothing short of absolutely exquisite jest ; for I “have ales 1 my 3ides at it till they ached. There we sat made snug for the n-ght, and I made as sure of a'good supper and a can as ever I had been of either,~-and here we are all taken aback ; aud then poor Srenda’s doleful voice and melancholy question of ‘ What is to be done, and where are we to sleep?’ In faith, lunléss one of those knaves, who must needs torinent the poor woman by their trencher- work before it was wanted, can make amends by telling us of some snug port under our lee, we'have no other course tor it but to steer through the twiligh* on the bearing of Burgh- Weé istr a; and rough it out as well as we can by the way.
