     cracked by the heat of unprofitable debate, and loses 
     
     its cohesion. Unity is strength, and in Prince Ed- 
     
     ward Island, this only is wanting to achieve any de- 
     
     sirable result. But perhaps now that the Royal 
     
     rDuchess, the wife ofthat illustrious Duke, the mother 
     
     -of our beloved Sovereign, and the woman whom all 
     
     nations “ delighted to honor,” has gone the way of 
     
     all flesh, it may occur to some that the time has 
     
     come when entire unity is possible,and when in consid- 
     
     eration of the five hundred and one reasons which any 
     
     citizen could adduce, a bronze or marble statue of 
     
     the late Duke may arise in Queen Square, a monu- 
     
     ‘ ment ofloyalty, good taste, and—union. 
     
    
   
   
    
     There IS a curious looking building on the Square 
     
     near the Province Building, now in the pupa state 
     
     of being; it has market life in it every Wednesday 
     
     and Saturday, and promises the body of a better 
     
     ’building, having wings and every other accommoda- 
     
     tion for a vegetable and fruit market, a meat market, 
     
     a poultry market, a flour market, a fish market, and 
     
     no doubt an omnium-gatherum market for lots'of 
     
     _ things that the clever country people fetch along, but 
     
     which do not belong to the above enumerations. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Besides the building we have just referred to, 
     
     which is a pillared, circular wooden structure, there 
     
     is on the square and fronting Queen Sheet, what is 
     
     called “The Old Court House, ” now devoted to the 
     
     purposes ofa Mayor’s Court a Police Court, and 
     
     the Post Office; on the opposite side of the Square 
     
     is St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, rich in external foli- 
     
     age, and comfortable in its arrangements inside. It 
     
     is what may be called the Parish Church, where the 
     
     churchman may gratify his old country predilection 
     
     for established worship. The officiating clergy here 
     
     -—as indeed are all and every clerical functionary 
     
     throughout the Island—are ever ready for any good 
     
     word and work, and they labor faithfully for the 
     
     good of souls, as responsible ministers of their divine 
     
     Master. There are some fine “stores ” on the sides 
     
    
   
   
    
     of this Square, and some private houses, all of which
