NOTES OF

NOVA SCOTTA.

''o the Islander who leaves his lowing kine ,and gently undulating fields and goes to Nova Scotia, the rugged rocks and loudly babbling brooks, the pretty lakes and granite gray hillstops of the sister Province afford a very pleasing change of scene. And when he sees huge piles of coal and iron, freshly dug, or feasts his eyes on glittering gold as- sayed from Nova Scotia quartz, he must feel proud that he can now truly call this

“This land my country.”

We advice all who can afford it to make a trip to Nova Scotia, Such a trip will remove mapy misconceptions. We Islanders are inclined to be somewhat reserved and not a little suspicious of our neighbors. Friendly intercourze and more intimate knowledge will show us that our neighbors are just as good as ourselves, and perhaps a little better. One misconception we share with many others who judge by the dolorous toves of the Halifax Press, is that Nova Scotia is just now very poor. Just let an Islands er who has formed this opinion step on board the St. Lawrence or Princess, cross to Lictou, take a seat in the magnificent ear which he will find awaiting his arrival there, keep his eyes and his ears open, aud he will speedily be undeceived. He will see a people who bear on their person the unmistakable marks of good living and easy circumstances. He will hear of bazaars at which $2,700 are made in the course of two or three nights, and of a theatre upon which the people of Halifax weekly throw away some $2,000 —for fun! As he proceeds he will see thriviug towns whose ivhabitants enjoy all the modern conveniences of civilized life, and imitate the style and manners and off hand generosity of a wealthy people. When he arrives in Halifax he will see a new “ Music Hall’? elaborately built, elegantly appointed and artistically frescoed at a cost of $80,000.00. Near by he may inspect the New Masonic Huall—a very fine building, in the opening ceremonies of which thousands of dollars we:e expended for swallow tails, kid gloves and boquets. Then he may visit and admire the new Young Mens’ Chris- tian Association Hill lately erected, or tuke a look at the foundations of the new ‘* Merchants’ Bank of Halifax” to be built at a cost little, it at all, short of the sum —over which our Government made such a fuss—to be expended in the erecs tion of the P. E. Island “ Asylum for Insane Persons.’ If after this he is not convinced that Nova Scotia is not suffer. ing seriously trom the prevailing strin- gency of the money market, let him go in and out among the people, observing how they dine and wine, and furnish their houses. The “hard times” have, in truth, done Nova Scetia a great deal of good. Muny are poorer than they were, but they are also humbler, healthier, and more economical. Some of the froth at the top of the social bowl has been brushed away,and some of the dregs have disappear- ed. But the good wholesome wine of ster- ling honesty, industry and capital—of which Halifax always possessed a large pro- portion—still remaias, sparkling all the more brightly for the shaking it has re- ceived.

The active minded Islander who has not before wandered from his native potato patch, will do well to. visit the “Provincial Museum.” ‘There he wil be welcomed by a gentleman bearing the sweetest of all names—Dr. Honeyman— and there he will see Nova Scotia in epitome. There he will see specimens of all the mineral wealth for which she is celebrated, the manufacturers which she produces—in comparatively small quanti, ties—the birds which build their nests under her branches; the beasts which roam over her uucultivated wilds; there he will see portraits of her statesmen, politicians, and judges ; aod many natural and artificial things rare and curious— trophies of art and scieace — relics of pre- historic times, collected in all parts of the world by her indetatigable sons.

He will, also, as a matter of course, visit Citiadel Hill, whence he will view!

a

_ — —— -

onc of the finest harbors in the world

and a City fortified by all the applianees for defence which the Nineteenth Century affords. While there he may be led to reflsct upon the influence exercised by four or five thousand idle soldiers over a Mi:y such as Halifax. Is it for good or wer evil? Certainly they afford a ready cash market for a large quantity of goods —and in that way they benefit trade. Then there is the dashiog style and dignified manner of the military, which are, perhaps insensibly, imitated by {the civilions of a garrison town.

But we believe the good is very much more than counterbalanced by the bad. It is an old proverb that “ Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do,’ and it isa question whether the shame- less vice of many of the lower order in Halifax, and the tendency of the ‘upper crust” to loaf and sponge and do ‘nothing,’? and to transgress the rules of morality,—of which there have of late been several prominent instances—is not largely due to the influence of idle officers and common soldiers in the Halifax gar- rison. The soldiers have made Halifax the “strongest”? town in America; but they have also planted there the seeds of the weeds which prevent enterprise from spreading and virtue from flourishing.

Our Islander should not leave Halitax before paying a visit to the Public Gar, dens. These are the pride of Halifax. They are ‘very beautiful. It is a geod sigo of the times that a taste for flowers aod music is rapidly spreading among all classes of Haligonians.

A walk around Point Pleasant or through the splendid Park will give great pleasure to the lover of natural and artis. tic beauty. By all means, let it be taken before setting face Islandwards.,

ilelaltpiihsiche dak edit LEAS SASH FACTORY,

Mu, Paut Lea—whose advertisement ap- pears in another column—has a very well appointed factory on the lower end of Grafton Street. The building is in size seventy.~two by forty-five feet. The engine is a superior one, made by Messrs McKin- non and McLean of the “ Esdale Foundry.” By means of a powerful rotary saw, rough logs of almost any circumference are cut down to the required size, while light saws, planing, moulding, mortizing and tenoning machines—all under the immediate super- intendence of Mr. Lea—work a marvellous change in the raw material. Mr. Lea is an energetic and practical man, prompt in his business and moderate in his charges. We are not surprised to learn that every one who builds employs him. He deserves success, and there is little doubt, judging by present appearances, that he will achieve it.
