A BOY'S BELIEF.:
It isn't mush fon aliving
If grandpa says what is true,
That this is the jolliest time of life
That I'm a -passing through.
I'm'freid he can't remember,
It's been so awful long,
I'm sore if he could reoolleot
He'd know that he was wrong.
Did he ever have, I wonder,
A sister just like mine,
Who'd take his skates, or break his kite,
Or tangle up his twine ?
Did he ever chop the kindling,
Or fetch in coal and wood,
Or offer to turn the wringer ?
If be did, he was awful good 1
In Summer it's "Weed the garden ;"
In Winter it's "Shovel the snow:;"
For there isn't a single season
But has it's work, you know.
And then, when a fellow's tired.
And hope he may jest sit still,
It's "Bring me a pail of water, son,
From the spring at the foot of the hill."
How can grandpa remember
A fellow's grief or joy ?
'Tween you. and me, I don't believe
He ever was a boy.
Is this the jolliest time of life 1
Believe it I never can ;
Nor that it's as nice to be a boy
As a really grown-up man.
FISHIN'.
Wunst we went a•fiehin'—me
Aa mypa an' ma all three—
When therewas d pio•nio, 'way
Out to Hunoh's Wood one day.
An' they was a oriok out there
Where the fishes is, an' where
Little boys 'taint big and strong
Better have their folks along.
My pa he just fished an' fished,
An' ma she said she wished
Me an' her was home ; an' pa
Said he wished so woree'n ma.
Pa said if you talk, er say
Anytbiug, er sneeze, er play,
Habib no fish, alive or dead,
Ever goin' ter bite 1 he said.
Part' nigh dark in town when we
Gob back home ; an' ma says ebe
Now she'll have a Ash for shore I
An' she bayed one at the store.
Nen at supper, pa he wont
Eat no fish, an' says he don't
Like 'em—an' he pounded ma
When I ohoked—ma, didn't he ?

The Citedal is moat quivkly reaohed
by ascending Sltokville street, ab tine
head of whioh is the Halifax County
Aoadonty, a large Wok building. The
citadel Remit mere the summit of the
hill upon ;Obeli the city le situated, and
is 250 feet above the level of thel sea. A
beautiful and varied view is obtained
from different pointe of the works, as the
citadel commands the whole country
round, The citadel 10 a fortress of the
Arab plass, according to the standards of
the old wheel ; though of late years the
Government bas bestowed mush Often
Won on the works at George's Island,
York Redoubt, the Point, and lkiaonay'o
Island,. which are most important in a
naval point of view, The works were
commanced by Prince Edward, Duke of
Kent, father of Queen Victoria, who was
then commander of the Forges on this
station, He employed in the eervige a
large number of the Marmite, who had
been
conquered bythe British and were
banished from Jamaloa, and subsequent-
ly deported to Sierra Leone, Changes
And additions have been made nearly
every year since, until the Fent im•
manse stronghold has been completed.
It is separated from the glade by a deep
moat, over wiliob are rhe guns on the
numerous bastions. The massive mason-
ry of the walls seems to defy assault, and
She extensive barracks within are said to
be bombproof. During the years 1873-74
the artillery was changed, and the pre-
vious mixed armament to a great degree
replaoad by mingle loading Woolwich
gine of( heavy calibre, adapted for firing
the conned Palliser shot, with points of
chilled iron, The visitor ie allowed to
walk outside the circuit of the ramparts,
and this elevated station affords a broad-
er view on either side. Perhaps the beet
prospeot is that from the southeast basti-
on, overlooking the crowded city on the
slopes below ; the narrow harbor with its
shipping ; Dartmouth, sweeping up to.
ward Bedford Basin ; Fort Clarence, be.
low Dartmouth, with its dark oasomabee;
Maonab's Island, crowned with batteries
and abutting in the eastern passage ; the
outer harbor, with its fortified pointe ;
and the ocean beyond.
Near the portal of the citadel is an
outer battery of antiquated guns ; at the
south end of the glottis are the extensive
barracks of the -Royal Artillery; at the
north end the Pavilion Barraoka—quart.

Chapel, a plain wooden building, stands
on the corner of Brunswick and Cogs-
well streets. The service on Sunday

as the staff and troops of the: garrison,
with band, attend in full uniform, . Be-
hind the,dhapel is the Military Hospital.
Farther north, on Brunswick street, ie
the Church of the Redeemer (Universal-
ist), on one side, and a Methodist (thumb
on the other. Beyond, at the corner of
Corwallie, ie St: George's church (Church
of England), remarkable for its circular
form. On the corner of Gerrieh is a
cemetery, now dialled, in whioh stands
the quaint little Dutoh church, erected
as a Lutheran place of worship in 1761
by the early; German immigrants.
West of the citadel stretches the Com:
mon, used for military parades. South
of the Common lies, Camp Hill cemetery,
and east of this the public, gardens, whish
fronton Spring Garden Road.' They are
beautifully laid out, and form one of the
greatest summer attractions of the. city.
At the western extremity a lawn -tennis
ground is laid out ; there is a pond -sur-
rounded by shrubbery and flowers, and
inhabited by water -fowl. On Saturday
afternoons the King's Own Band plays
from 4 till 6. Concerts are given at in-
tervals in the evening, when the gardens
are lighted with the eleotrio light.
Opposite the gardens are the grounds
and building of the Convent of the Sacred
Heart, and at the end of the street is St.
Stephen's or the Bishop's Chapel (Church
of England), on the edge of the site for
the new cathedral On the other side of
the road is a Methodist Chapel. To the
south, in the next block, is the new Dal.
houeie College, and on the ground situat-
ed between Morris and: South streets, the
vast poor•houee built by the city to re-
place the edifice formerly standing in the
same place, which was burned down in
1884, with 'a lose of thirty-six lives.
East of the poor•llouse is the Victoria
General Hospital, and opposite to it, on
the north; the Exhibition building, used.
in winter as a skating rink. The aobool
for the blind is on the square between
Tower, South Park,To w Morris and South
streets. Visitors are admitted
on Wed-
nesdays after three o'clook. Continuing
down Morrie street, St. Luke's Cathedral,
a very plain wooden building, is seen on
the left.
On Spring Garden Road, at the corner
of Argyle street, ie an open square plant-
ed
lanted with trees, formerly used as a burying -
ground for inmates of the poorhouse,
before that building was removed to its
present position. Opposite is the Militia
Brigade Office, and west of it the drill
shed, beyond which is Bellevue House,
formerly the official' residence of the
oommander-in.ohief of the garrison.
Nearly opposite the Baptist thumb, on
the other side of the road, formerly stood

Point Pleasant Park, a favorite resort
of the inhabitants of Halifax, may be
rsaobed, either by Freshwater, taking She
oars to the foot of Inglis street, or con-
tinuing up Inglis to the foot of South
Park, by Young Avsdue, at the ends of
whish stands a pair of gates of handsome
design. The Park is Imperial property,
but is loaned to the city for an, indefinite
number of yearn, at a nominal rent of a
darning. Onee n year all roads leading
into it are closed for twenty.four hours,
to maintain the ownership and prevent
any possible claim to a publto right of
way, The Park lies along the shore of
the harbor and of the Northwest arm.
The roads, originally made by the Royal
Engineere, are kept in capital Order, and•
enable visitors to drive through all parts
of the Park. There are very beautiful
views of the harbor, the main, and the
Northwest arm, from different points.
The masked forts and batteries which
the Visitor comes upon unexpectedly, the
ponds, the bold rook fatted, the woody
glene, the grassy swards, the footpaths
straying through the tblokets of the wil-
derness, all lend a charm to the locality

Dartmouth, connected with Halifax by
a line of ferry -steamers, leaving every
fifteen minutes. Ib has four ohurehee,
foundries, maohine-shops, breweriee,
boat -building yards, ebo. There are ex-
tensive rope works on the ridge to the
north of the town, and on the east of the
town a large skate factory, and a marine
railway on the shore. The railway line,
which crosses the Narrows over a long
pile bridge, runs along the shore, through
the lower part of the town, and round
the beautiful Dartmouth Cove, to Wood-
side, where is a large Sugar Refinery.
About a mile and a half from the town,

vantage of the high tide on a dark night,
and crept cautiously out behind Maonab's
Island. By daylight he was far out of

The Montagu gold -mines are four miles
from Dartmouth. Cow Bay, which is
reached by a seven miles' drive along the
shore of the Eastern Passage and through
the woods, has a fine stretch of beaten,
where surf -bathing can be enjoyed.
To the north of Dartmouth stretches a
ohain of lakes, the drive along whish is

afford excellent skating.
