366 PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND . been effected in so short a period, proves how much might have formerly been done, without any expense but the proper application of the colonial revenue. Governor Ready , in order to teach by the force of example, is a farmer himself. When last in Eng¬ land, he sent a beautiful full-bred stallion and mare to the island; an agricultural society has been esta¬ blished under his auspices ; and the cultivation of the soil, fostered by his government, is extending rapidly over all parts of the colony. The island has been at last so far prosperous, and much will hereafter depend on the inhabitants themselves. Let not their energies and industry be divided by petty bickering in private society, by family quarrels, by jealous feelings, or by contempt¬ ible political squabbles. Much has been done for them, but they must still do much more for them¬ selves. They possess one of the most beautiful spots of the habitable globe ; and their happiness may be secured by industry, economy, unanimity, punctual¬ ity to engagements, and an aversion to litigation.
