You have missed your way a little; but I will send a boy round with the horse, and put you across the creek in a canoe, and your way will be shorter than if you had not missed it. Please to walk in and rest a little. I

thanked him for his kindness, accepted his invitation, and he gave my horse to a boy to take to Mr. Millar's. I found the inside of the house well furnished and much more hand- some and genteel than the outside warranted

one to expect. I was quite surprised at

seeing a good-like library and a large one, considering the place. I was most agreeably entertained while I stayed. The gentleman easily found out what I was, and expressed

his happiness that a Presbyterian minister

had come to visit the Presbyterians there;

but I had no courage to attempt ascertaining what he was. He accompanied me to Mr. Millar's and addressed him thus: 'Mr. Millar, I have brought you what you have been long wishing for, a Presbyterian minister and I hope he will do you muchgood.‘ Mr. Millar thanked him affect- ionately, and after a little conversation the gentleman returned home. After a cordial welcome from Mr. Millar, and mutual inquiries after one another's health, I asked who the gentleman might be? He replied, 'It is Parson DesBrisay, the Church of England clergyman of the Island, a Calvinistic preacher, a man of liveral sent- iments, and of a benevolent disposition.‘

"And where does he preach?‘ 'He rides every Sabbath to Charlotte Town and preaches in the church there.‘ 'And why does he not reside in town?‘ ‘It is a wicked place, and he is more retired and happy in the country.’ "He told

me of Mr. Lawson MacEwan, and others, who came out at the same time. At hearing Mr. Lawson's name, I instantly recollected that when I was a little boy, I heard much talk of a Mr. Lawson and others going to America. They were decoyed out by one of the great proprietors to settle his land. They were to pay a shilling of rent per acre, and they thought it cheap till they came out and saw it; but then they found it dear enough. After them came a number from Dumfriesshire, who settled here and in St. Peter's.
