On the outer sides of these sand— 
     
     bars the waves break with magnificent 
     
     surfiinside all is calm and peaceful. 
     
     High cliffs are not found on the north- 
     
     ern shore. but hold land of romantic, 
     
     appearance is found in places. 
     
    

    
     The neighborhood of Alberton, 
     
     l\'lontrose and the Kildare River is an 
     
     attractive one, and many pleasant 
     
     walks and drives may here be enjoyed. 
     
    

    
     A feature of this part of the Island is the numerous “ fox 
     
     farms ” that are springing up. where these animals are raised for the 
     
     Value of their pelts. Large sums have been paid for a pair with 
     
     which to start a ranch or farms—as much as two and three thousand 
     
     dollars, it is said. 
     
    

    
     The climate of Prince ldeard Island is well suited for opera— 
     
     tions of this kind, and much money has already been made by 
     
     those engaged in the business. Several new fox farms have recently 
     
     been started in various parts of the island, and as fox breeding 
     
     appears to be both interesting and profitable, the number of these 
     
     farms is sure to increase. 
     
    

    
     But we have left Alberttm and are making north. That 
     
     little hamlet, where we stopped for a few minutes, has houses that. 
     
     may easily be counted upon two hands; and the young girl with pleas- 
     
     ant face. and engaging brown eyes who has just waved a free and ingen- 
     
     uons ‘ good—bye,’ was the same who waited at our hotel table. in Sum- 
     
     merside, a few days since. A week of town life has satisfied her: 
     
     and she has gone ”back to the farm.” Sensible girl! ...... and 
     
     happy father and mother, whose life in the comfortable and snug 
     
     little cottage. over there is still to be cheered by a bright, youthful 
     
     face and sunny smile. 
     
    

    
     And now, Tignish. the French—Scotch fishing Village, and 
     
    

    
     quietest of quiet little summer resortsi 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     modest, unpretending, and just what it 
     
     appears to be on first arrival, at country 
     
     retreat. A place of unbroken sleep and 
     
     absolute talm, and where the com— 
     
     motion and tumult of the world frets 
     
     none. A natural sanitarium to which 
     
     a man may flee to escape for a season
