m town of Paisley amazement â€" how those ~ heilanmen T ever scaled a spot where a goat can | hardly climb, but we know when it | comes to a brush such men never say | die. As it was with Wolfe so it was | with Wauchope and others in 8. Africa | the call of duty the path of danger, the ’ field of glory and sometimes gory death, | but still untarnisned honor, and & | deathless name. Now we are off tor Bonnie Scotland, the land of mountain and glen, of brown heath and shaggy wood," of the thistle, the broom and the crimsonâ€" tipped daisy, the land eyery true Scot in other climes holds in reverence and delights, where opportunity presents, of revisiting. So good hbye. My next letter will be from the historical old *CIy poorly fimshed inside we ate told. We get to Lake St. Peter, about 30 muiles from Montreal about 9 a. m., and reach the city of Three Rivers about 11. This seems to be a large place, named from three rivers that join the St. Lawrence within about a mile of one another. We are now 80 miles from Montreal, WO LCW HBAHHE AK ruasmacll _ avew ‘o appear as a straggling village. The farms seem ail to be small, 30 acres or so, running down to the river. Every little while we come to a Catholic church with two square spires one on each corâ€" ner and they look well outside, but are very pootly finished inside we are told «ay morung we were wakened daylight by the steamer turnim head down the St. Lawrence, and we have passed out of the busy with its turmoil of shipping comi yoing. what a fine sail down our river that eyery Canadian shoul Un the banks can be seen the French houses,. so many as som, features. But what a wealth of fine buldings are here ! Large retail estabâ€" lishments, Warehouses, â€" etc. Fine churches and colleges not surpassed in the Dominion; on all sides indications of wealth and refinement. You can go over nearly the whole of the city with a caband fige in it for $2.00 and it would be impossible for me to describe the many notable things we saw ; the splendid parks, the large stone buildings, the fine hotels, and the great stations, the C, P. R. being much the finest. It is also a sight to see the fine steam. ers of the Allan line that cross the Atlantic so speedily and so comfort ably compared with what was the experience when our fathers and mothers crossed. The hardships of the olden time are now gone and it is a pleasure to cross the " pond " having every comfort one ‘ could wish. Just think! those fina could wish,. _ Just think! those tine steamers carrying one 3,500 miles and board for $35. _ We went to yvisit Mount Royal and from the fine elevation you can see the whole city and have a good view of the Victoria Bridge and the Oournd with : t1 Mr. W Mi iew ol the Victoria Bridge great St. Lawrence. MHere are tories also Protestant and R. ind they are certainly fine and ceive a great deal of attention hem so attractive. We got here at half past seven a. m., and its general appearance reminds one of some of the cities of the old land, with its small streets and some other features. But what a wealth of fine last night by C. P. R. line. Only one stop was made before reaching Peterâ€" borough. which place we made at 12. D. At daylight we were near Perth and O0! what a bare flat country and poor bmnildings. It got better after leaving Smith‘s Falls, and better still as we neared Montreal. Her» we are in the big Metropolis of the Dominion, all safe and sound. We left Toronto at 10 p m., last night by C. P. R. line. Only one Sicilia Our readers will be pleased to have some letters from our traveller townâ€" man narrating experlience« on the trip to the old land. We are much indebted for his first begun in Montreal but ended later.â€"Ev.] We INTERESTING LETTERFROM MR. R. MACFARLANE, SR Vancouver Hotel, Montreal, July 29, ‘02.

They are ever ready when the aâ€" larm sounds to sacrifice their time, heaith, and more than that som etimes their lives. Who can tell but the alarm of fire may be the call to sudden death? Like the soldier this is a part of their work, there is no chance to flinch from their duty. yet I want to say it is a very trying position for honest conscientious men to fill. _ They are expected by the average sized citizen to be of equal caâ€" pacity and experience to the men of out largest cities. They must lay aâ€" side ail personal considerations for the good of the town they represent as fireâ€" men, and submit in the most hamble way to the criticisms of those, who for the sake of talk, want to haye some fault to tind and, who in most cases could not tell a nozzle from a bydrant. Yet for all this these firemen do their best without much of any reward or even recognition of their work,. Someâ€" thing more should be done if only some plan of common acquaintance by way of encertainment to show that their serâ€" vices are appreciated, but to achieve this work there has got to be cuâ€"operaâ€" tion which depends on the good will and efforts of each and all concerned.

I cannot say that I should like to call them back again from that blessed fold of Paradise |wbere all Christ‘s flock is waiting inâ€" cluding my dear Father and Mother i who died 16 and 15 years ago my mother being left a young widow of 30 yrs with 6 little children to care for. â€" But such } a motherâ€" she worked hard to keep us ‘ nice, and her dyving wish was that her twin bovs should never be parted. We were scattered among kind friends, the two boys going to Ontario,. fighting their way together, but somehow got separated and for a few years we got no news of them though we had written. I had been wriiting only to dear Jack and a thought struck me I would write to both. At last I had a reply from both of them. Each was enquiring of me where the other was, they having lost each other also. I was a(;le to let them know, and at last Jack went to George only to die together as you say. They told me what a joyful meeting they had when they saw each other. I cant tell you how full my heart is for those dear boys. How I will miss their nice letters.
