CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 1883,

As Others See Us.

| Navi ation (ov | Mr. J. L. Stewart, editor of the Chatham g y: World, recently visited this Province. We 188 <om

are pleased to see that he was favorably impressed with its appearance. In the

_ World he writes as follows:—

‘‘A hasty run through Prince Edward Island, at this time of the year, will con- Vince anyone that it is not necessary to go to the Northwest to see oceans of growing | grain. On the railway train, and in | driving through the country, one gets deep _vistas of luxuriant crops. Great areas of ‘grain, as level as the prairie, and large fields of potatoes that give promise of an abundant yield. appear on every side. The roads are straight, and frequently climb lover elevations, in that undulating country, ' ‘that give the traveller wide views. Every- |where there is the promise of abundance, | |everywhere there are fine residences and | large barns, everywhere there are evidences ‘of progress and prosperity. The hay, a large crop, has been gathered in good con- ‘dition, after a rather prolonged combat | | between the haymakers and the weather, | and harvesting is about to begin. Oats are ‘good, and our lumberers may expect to get ‘supplies at a lower price than the average | rate. Wheat never looked better, but the pride with which the farmer calls attention ito his fields of ‘ Lost Nation’ is’ modified by the fear of weevil. | ‘The risk seems to increase, and the con- ‘fidence which the wheat raiser felt a few! years has given place- to a feeling of un-. ‘certainty, as a field of itis sometimes ruived | ‘when it is almost ripe enough to reap. | | Prince Edward Island farms, on which} 'erops of grain and roots are ripening, can. \be bought, with the buildings thereon, for, ‘from $25 to $50 an acre. A 100 acre farm ‘was sold the other day, at auction, for $4,000. There is a great deal of the virgin sod yet to be brokev, and thousands of young men who have wandered away to |other lands would have been richer and happier now if they had stayed at home

.and cultivated their native soil.

| The Charlottetown market is in all its \glory at this season, and on Tuesdays and i Fridays it is the centre of attraction for lstrangers in town. The display of vege- tables and garden stuff is one of the finest , to be seen in ‘any market, and is greatly superior to what St. John or Halifax has ito show in the same line. Cherries—large red cherriegs—are abundant, and blue- ‘berries and raspberries are there aiso, ‘looking as fresh as though just picked. These native fruits are supplemented by displays of imported apples and pears in ‘the shops. Outside of the market building ,are loadsa of hay, fresh fish, and a little of jall the products of the water, woods and fields.

The Charlottetown ladies do not send | their servants to market, but go them- selves, with basket in hand or in the hands .of an attendant, and personally select what , they require for three days. One may meet | the. belle of Thursday night’s ball at the ; market Friday morning, and admire her all {the more with a basket on her arm. The ladies have little chats together, a little flirting is done on the quiet, and the market is a great social as well as gastronomic insti- When the marketing and exchang- ‘ing of greetings is over the ladies drive home with their baskets in the family car- | riage.

Charlottetown gives no sign of any rapid

growth, but itis improving steadily and looks well. The gardens are very fine, the ‘harbor is irresistibly tempting to all who love a boat, and the air is perfect. One ‘doesn’t mind the sunshine, though ever so strong, in the inspiring and breezy atmos. phere of Charlottetown.

The hotels arg pretty good, but none too good, and their charges are moderate. The hotel men have improved in the last two years. They have finally got educated into having fresh fish on the table once or twice a day. This shews that they can learn, as it was only about two years ago that fish was not to be had at their tables except on Friday, and not always then. The Prince Edward island hotel keeper used to be under the impression that roast beef and lamb cught to satisfy the demands of his guests for something substantial. He has not yet been educated up to the duty of placing the native fruits on his table in profusion, and at this season‘ when he should have cherries before his guests morning, noon and even- ing, the guests have to seek them for themselves in the market.

Prince Edward Island has cheese factories, starch factories, and several other indus- trial establishments of a kindred character, and has room for more. Some of Charlotte- town’s stores will compare favorably with the best in St. John or Halifax, and her merchants carry themselves with an air of prosperity. Very little grumbling,consider- ing the grumbling disposition of human nature, is heard, and people generally seem to be well satisfied with themselves and surroundings.”

pushing their way through the mountains. It — le tha’ the roae from Montreal to the Pacific will be com leted by the end of S—six years ahead of the time their con- tractcalled for. The cry formore branch lines will be appeased as soon as the condition of the settlements warrants it. It is to their interest to give the settler every conveni- enve. They cannot exist unless the soil grows freight; and they know perfectly well that it is their especial business to look after the settlers. Those settlers who occa- sionally write to eastern papers complaining of rates, should bear in mind that it is not Old Canada. In a new country like this, the railroad carried everything in and fetches nothing out. Labor, supplies, coal, the infinite variety of goods a railroad wants, all these things cost more by many a per cent. than they do east. The settler may rest satisfied that, even from the motive of selfishness, the C. P. R. will deal with him generously. Without him they cannot exist.—Canadian American.

The Married Flirt.

A PRODUCT OF SUMMER VACATIONS PROBABLY EVERLASTING,

THAT IS

Now is the winter of her discontent made glorious summer to the married flirt.

Conjugal jars are forgotten, marital misery 18 banished, household woes are hushed. In fact, connubial cares generally are put away in camphor, so to speak, to

the fall.

Though, like death, she has all seasons for her own, the married flirt has seized upon the heated term as her especial and peculiar opportunity, Asan army with banners, she goes forth conquering and to conquer. While her undulating laces and cool muslins modestly invite, herfeathers and furbelows waft a warning and her ribbona rustle defiance. She is a coquette armed cap-a-pie.

But there are coquettes amd eoquettes,and the married flirt is not to be mistaken for the single specimen of the same species. ¥rom the top of her abnormally long gloves to the tips of her preturnaturally short slippers, she is sxi generis. Even such light things as the heedless wave of a hand, the freakish fall of a fan show her for what she is. The giddy girl recognizes her with envy and anguish, the elderly dowager with discreet detestation. Both mother and danghter know her and fear her. She has marred many a match, destroyed many an air castle, ruined many a season. ”

If genuine cursing, not loud but deep, could kill, she would have been dead long ago. Butsheis perenniai. She prevades all places, and spoils all plans. She gets a new zest from the disappointments of others and, lke the vawpire, feeds upon the heart blood of young hopes. No summer resort is without her. From the hotel of high degree to the meek and lowly camp- meeting she is omnipresent. The trail of the serpent is over them all.

The married flirt is not only wmalti tudinous, but multifarious. She is of all ages and degrees, of all classes and con- ditions. One season she is languid and languishing, another she is fast and furious, Now she is demure and devote, and again she is flighty and frivolous. You like her limp and lymphatic, and are surprised to like her better brisk and soubrettish. (One day she is shrinking and ekittish, the next she is audacious and impudent. She takes her cue from Oleopatra:—“Age cannot wither nor custom stale her infinite variety.” She is also absolutely apostolic; she is all things to all men, and, although the danger signals are always out, she finds a fool every time she takes the trouble to open her eyes.

And then the whole thing is so easy; it is a part of the general summer scheme—no care, no worry, no fretting, but plerty of folly.

It is no wonder the young gir! is distane- ed. There is no risk, no danger of failing. Breach of promise suits are as foreign to the married flirt’s thoughts as genuine sen- timent. She is fascinating, but you cannot call her false. She is evidently fitted to conjugate love in all its moods and tenses ; but the sense of safety makes her cruel.

“Tying her bonnet under her chin, She ties a young man’s heart within,’

Just as remorsely as though she meant to marry him.

Possible, however, it is a waste of feeling to think of the other side. Both parties probably enjoy the little pretence of senti- ment all the more from the very impossi- bility of its bringing them to the altar, At all events, the thing is likely to last. A woman should never be too old to try to please, and all women love to be loved. It is more than likely that the sole survivor, Macaulay's New Zealander on London Bridge, will not only be a female, but a married flirt.
