Oa the flat heavy lands of the west the streams flow sluggish'y in shallow de- pressions. Where they pass through a swamp the waters spread abroad amoug the alders aud deposit a rich alluvium of black vegetable soil. This becomes the seat of a rare profusion of plaut growth. Great starry bloomed asters over-top your head. [upatorium rises its purple shields of bloom six feet above the soil. Aster dracun cnloides makes a perfect wilderness of suowy stars, vieing with willow shrubbery iv height. Chelone is usually a mivor plant, trod by the passing foot with the grasses, but here its curious ivory petals meet you face to face as high as your chin. There are golden thickets of balsams, ruauiog hke flame through the shadows, iudiau turnips with rich searlet corms of seed, many bloomed habenarias, cales aud calthas, extending their great round leaves, like emerald platters spread for some tare wood-nymphs’ feast. Lere, ‘ovo, Pagovia pulchella, the fairest orchid of northern lands, displays the rich beauty of its purple limbs,

You foiow the stream till it leaves | the flat and desteuds towards «2 bay. Herc it wears out for itself a consider-| able trough in the mass of the boulder. formetion. This fo:ms a narrow wind-' ing valley, the steep bauks of which are covered with ferest, while down its bed rolis the silver pathway of the river, sleeping in woodland shadows, gleaming in sunlit circles, painted with the tints of autumn foliage, rippling silver spray over grey foulders {from the far-away Laureutide hills of the north, end then opening out its current to make space for alow alluvial isi'and clothed with a thick flowing veil of silky-pavacled Cadlana-, grostis.

Must. West Shore men are fishers, or| at least their boys ure. The coast is} ‘Hned with boats, and every farm divides | ‘its interest with the barvest of the deep. | There are few harbors on the coast, but the streams that tumble over the steep line of cliffs cut deep gorges at their| mouth. Into these wild little crannies | haif a dozen boats will be crammed, and | find a safe harbor from the surf. !

Big Miminigash is quite a fish station, |

Little Miminigash is a) shallow. fir-shadowed pool in the rear of a huge seu-piled moje of reddish-grey sand, mixed with a terrific wreck of) logs and stumps, and the battered) ribs of some couple of deries swing in the calm waters! of the Jagoon, foul with slimy pond) weeds. Prickiey salsola grows on its

sandy borders, aud the soft piping of the

sounds of loveliness to the retirement oi

The ereat sea that rolls its foaming) bine all round the westward, weaves its ' shadows into the social life of the people. The mother tells of dear, brave boys! ‘that sailed but never came back. And ‘we saw more than one sofi-eyed litle ‘cherub that just began to lisp the name of wsire whom she should uever see, tor the siren deep bad kissed his brow, and} its white-foamed waves were his winding sheet.

‘We dou’t mind the duty,” said an, intelligent fisherman. ‘‘It is the poor! quality of the fish that is ruinous. If! we could get pleoty of first-class mack- ‘erel we would do a good busivess.’ Boat fishermen will always suffer in this’ respect.

There aro very few shells of any kind, on this shore. The few that do occur more northern varieties, ‘This may be partly owing to the coldness of the water, but more te its impurity. There are districts of eold water in the western part of the Gulf, caused perhaps by the i: flux of the ex- cessively cold waters trom the rivers that drain the clevated table lands of Gaspe atid northern New Branswiek. But these are unfavorable to the useful fishes.

Every variety of soil hes its own peeu- liarities of vegetation. On Upper Permians wells about Charlottetown Aster salicifolius, is the commen aster of our fieid berders. On the dry Triassie hills to the north, its place is largely taken by Aster cordifol Ard here in the weet
