From Charlottetown another easterly division of the Prince Edward Island Railway, the most southerly of all, runs to Murray River and Murray Harbor. Dipping south, and in the main following the contour of the coast a few miles in, it has its terminus at the most southerly harbor on the east coast.

The scenery along this route is quite interesting. and there are a number of Scottish villages of small size along the way. Murray Harbor is another little stopping place where there is a very homelike hotel at which to sojourn. There is boating and driving, and, of course, sea—fishing. Like Alberton and 'I‘ignish, etc., it is one of the quietest: places that can be found anywhere; and as there is good air, very pleasant days may be spent with its hospitable people.

Lawrence \V. \Vatson's description of a summer scene is well adapted to give a glimpse of Island life for those who are nature- lovers. "Some love the open countryside where golden-rods wave their orange plumes, and blue and white asters bestar the field borders. Others like the wet swamp with its tangle of grasses and sedges and succulent plants delighting in moisture. Some love the brookside fringed with the white—flowered spikes of the snake-head, and the light graceful sprays of the balsam dangling its golden jewels by the water's edge.

” Others delight in the flats near the seashore where the prickly saltwort roots, and silverweed spreads its finely cut, pinnate leaves with their backing of silver, and above, on the banks, where the Kingfisher nests, the pale yellow evening primrose minglCS llS blossoms with those of the oxeye daisy, and of its sister, the mayweed with its finely dissected leaves.

“ But a more delectable retreat than any of these is the cool grateful shade of the shadowy woodland, where the sun enters but shyly to brighten and nourish, while the verdure may languish in the open beyond. Here. are the pearly—pink bells of the pyrolas, and the one-flowered pyrola—that exquisitely scented. firm, waxen flower. Here the Clintonia spreads out its three smooth leaves,~—-hand- some, spotless, myrtle-hued beauties and later replaces its yellow— green lily-cups with berries challenging the blue of the heavens.
