beneath a furze bush by the shore, where his lonely grave awakens a feeling of melancholy interest in the heart of every passing visitor.

Returning to Mr. Beaton's from the lighthouse. one may come by way of Bishop MeEachern's road. now fallen into disuse. It is cut through a beautiful grove and carpeted with moss and wildflowers; the trees meet overhead. so that on the most sultry sunnmr day, this shaded green lane is always cool and pleasant - a regular fairy dell.
