I hadalinost forgo tion that this much

now sought afier by travellers generally, who wish to go from Boston to Charlottetown, and {inte: mediate ports, ; aud tu tourists, seeking health and pleasure, a trip by this route proves to be very pleasing

route 15 very

or rice verse

and invigorating. The LOW PRICE FOR FARE

by this line has also made it very popular, if we may be permitted to jadge by the number of passengers who continually frequent this route, there being on board on, the trip to which the writer refers, some four hundred passengers. In fact, at Hali- fax a nimber of passengers had to be left behind, as the Captain did not wish

to make it uncomfortable for the large number «already on beard. Those who

wished to go,however,showed unmistakable signs of disappointment: but the Cap- tain and |’urser both informed them kind- ly, but they were obliged to say it firmly, that they could not posswbly take any ‘ore this trip— thus is how it was we came to the

conclusion that this had become a_ very popular route indeed. Having left Charlottetown with the

storm signal up and a very heavy rain fall- ing, we were not surprised at 6 o'clock the following morning, to find, on arriving at PORT HAWKESBURY,

that the weather was still as disagreeable, and rain falling just as fast as_ ever. Here we remained about two hours, and, after takingin quite a number of passen gers and some freight, we steamed away again for Haiilax, arriving there about one

o'clock in the morning. We hoped on reaching HALIFAX

to have tlie benefit of a fine day, in order to be able to ‘‘take in” some of the “sights” of this old and well fortitied town; but, in this, we were dcomed to dis- appointment. as we entered the harbor in a dense fog and drizzling rain, which, after wo had gone up a street or two, turned to what might be well termed a ‘ regular soaking rain.’ However, towards noon it cleared up sufliciently to give us an op- portunity of visiting the Public Gardens, @s well as CITADEL HILL.

Here we were furnished with a guide, who pointed out to us many places of interest, and gave us much information from his ap- parently inexhausti'le storehouse of know- ledge. The sights shown and the knowledge 80 gratuitously bestowed upon us can only be appreciated by being seen and heard for one’s self.

We are now reminded by the shrill whistle of the steamer that the hour for sailing is fast approaching, and bidding adieu to our very obliging guide, we hasten to embark once more. It is now four e’clock, p. m., and we are moving grace- fully from the pier, and as we pass

FORT GEORGE,

having ‘‘ A fair wind, and a flowing sail,” as well as a full headway of steam on, and the disagreeable rain of the morning, by this time, having given way to the more cheering rays of the sun, we are once more ‘plowing the great deep” on our way to the ** Hu».” <At8 o'clock we retired for the night, and on waking in the morning and goiny on deck, we were greeted with one of tiie most pleasant Sabbath days it has ever been our good fortune to enjoy. In fact, every passenger seemed to be de- lighted with the change for the better which ha taken place in the weather. In the evening Mr. J. ©. Archibald—who eame aboard with us at Halifax, and who is on his way to Newton Theological Sem- inary, to continue his studies for the min istry—preached a very interesting sermon to an attentive and respectful audience on board. After the service was over, several of those present indulged in singing a few familiar .ymns, when they gradually dis- persed fo: the night.

Another fine morning dawned upon us on Mon«ay, and at six o’clock, a. m., we were entering the

BEAUTIFUL HARBOR OF BOSTON, arriving at ‘*'T” Wharf about nine o’clock, and just as the steamer ‘* City of Portland” was leaving her pier for St. John, N. B As we landed we were cordially greeted by several! friends—formerly of P. E. Island, but the kindness and aid we received from Mr. L.. Arthur, of the firm of Arthur & Toombs, Charlottetown, will not soon be f ten. °

** In 1844, after a period of intense cold, the harbor was firmly frozen as far down as the light-house ; and its surface was enliv- ened with skating, coasting, sledding, and sleighing. Cargoes were discharged on tearus, and transported to warehouses. Booths, as on high holidays, filled with eatables and drinkables, added to the gay- ety of the scehe, in one of which was _re- peated the laughable ruse, which originated at Dedham, to aveid the then stringent liquor law, by placing thereon a placard of
