IWZRNSEY, whence our ances- tors euiigrutetl to Prince Ed- ward Isla1id,is the second in

sf/.e and iiiiportauce of the channel ls- land, lying between liuglaiid and Fraiiee. It is uineiiiiles long, its greatest breath six miles, circunifereiice 31 miles, acreag; 1.\,ooo, and its population in 1881, 31,659, lt is said to be thc inost densely

p-ipnlated place in linropc.

'l`licsc islands at the Norinau Conquest `

iii 1o66 were ii part of Normandy, and from that tiine until the reign of Ileiiry tlie Second were iilteriiatclv liiiglisli and Norman, since which period their al- lt‘,;iaiire has been to the liritish Crown. t".neri1si_-y is said to have been given a eoustitntioii hy King john, and it has, couiplete self-govcriiuieiit.

The climate of Guernsey is very fine,

and of late years the principal iiidustry has lit-tn the raising of veylretables for the lfiiglisli iuarkets. The island might be terined one huge hothotise. Iii our an- cestors' tinie, however, the niain reliance of the iiilialiittiiiis was the wine business. \\'ines were brought from lirance and tpiin in large casks and after ripening ncie tiai|sle1'1'ed to siiialler nieasures and shipped to points iii Great llrituiii and

elsewhere.

The cause of the decline of the wine

“During the whole of the ilitli century

The large a 11 il excellent vaults, reckoned so ne of the li.-st i.__i5uropc, the climate of Guernsey, which was favorable for the ripening of wines, and the proximity of the island of Great Britain rendered it extremely advantageous to the Ilritish iiierrliinit aa a depot by saving him ri large outlay in the payment of duties levied on iniportations during war. The lioiidiug system procuring liiui afterwards every facility of a depot at home, with tlie advantage of having his merchandise under his own-eyes.

clit~.~tuiit ti-ces, there is little snow to sugn gt-st irolil wt-;itlit-i. In many of the inea- tlovvs the grass still grfnts raiil: and tall, though already it is falling before the niaeliines drawn by the patient animals wliicli \v:\lk to and fro in the meadows :ind gradually ent it ull. and .i few days .later we sec only the browii close-sliavctl stnlilile, over which robiiis, crows and the red-wiiiged lilaekbirds search for food. The rye yellow, and over much of the broad west thc liarvt-sts are iii progresspr have ev:-ii ended. Yet thc field corn has iiioiiths more to qgrow before its tassrls bend to the breeze and its silk grows lirtiwii hi-neiitli the sun. 1 The birds have reared their brood, and i on the lawns :ind`along the wood roadel thc first flocks of rohins have got to- gether. The birds of the earliest hatch- ing have already lost tlicir spots, yet other broods are coming along, and 0118 may still find nests which contain eggs. Long ago the first litters of grey squirrels and rabbits were abroad, and the early

hay nialter.-1 capture not :i few young rabbits, while the farm dog spends lnllrh. of his time about the lots, craftly plotting how he may capture young aniniiils whose innocence too often renders the-ut his early prey,

Within n month front this time many

species of birds will he gatltered int0 flocks, preparing for tlic aunnnnal ini- gration,and a little latter, as; the heads of the wild ricefgrow lieavier and begin _,to turn yellow, tlic sliooting \\'ill begin. Then we shall think that -.ititiniiu is at hand.
