And now we have come to the last part
. of the trip through which I have endeavored
'to act as your conductor. And if I have
.1felt myself inefficient in that capacity dar-
ling the earlier parte of our journey, still
nnore do a feel the impossibility of doing
ijustice to all the gloriee of the scenery
through which we shall rarity pass. For
even•the prairies of the Northwest prim
themeelves to be not so limitless as they
appear to those travereing their vast extcut
day after day, and one night, as we peep
out of our berths behind the closed blinds
of the oar, we find ourselves stand-
ing still at the very foot of the
Rockies. In the conflicting light of
the stars and early dawn, we see ourselves
.guarded by three high purple peaks, known
.aa the Three Sisters, and we feel ourselves
,once more safe at home in the bosom of the
mountains, Soon the heavy engine, which
is to pant up the steep inclines in front of
us comes, and hooks us on, and all day
long, as we clamber the snow-covered
Rockies, and steam on slowly through the
heart of the Selkirks, Along the Columbia
river, and the wild waters which sweep
ctown the Kicking -Horse Pass, and. pass
under the shade of the crags of huge " Sir
Donald," we rush about from side to
side, and from end to ()pd. of our ear,
attempting, if not to photograph or sketch,
, at least to imprint some memory of
the magnificent panorama unrolling itself
before our eyes. But all in vain 1. There
is such a thing as being surfeited with floe
scenery, and it is a transgression against
nature to hurry, as we did, through these
glorious scenes. All that remains ROW is a
remembrance 'of towering snow-capped
peaks rearing themselves up in all their
strength above us, and stretches of
mountains changing in the varying light of
sun and cloud, from palest blues and greys
to rich tones of yellow and red and purple,
- as we come nearer, and as the autumn
foliage shows itself blending with the deep
browns and blueishgreen colors of the
waters foaming below. To appreciate
., scenery such as this frequent halts should
be made, and time should be allowed for
athe eye and mind to drink in and realize
• what is before them. Solitude too, and
. deep, unbroken stillness, are needed, if you
would be in harmony with these surround-
ings, if you would have nature lead you up
irresistibly to nature's God, if you would be
, able from your heart to how youreelf down
and say r
' Theme aro Thy glorious work', Parent a good,
Almighty, Thine this universal frame,
' These, wondrous fair ! Thyself, how wondrous
then!
, Unspeakable 1 who sits above these heavens
To us invisible, or dimly seen'
In these Thy lowest works, yet these
Declare Thy goodness beyond thought
And power divine. •
This year we hope to be able to stop at
various places on this route, for a dayat any
rate, and perhaps then I shall be better fitted
to ,be your guide on some future occasion.
The only halt we did make in these regions
we enjoyed immensely. It was at Banff,
where the Government are forming a
National Park, twenty-six miles long byten
broad, and where the C. P. R. have put up
a most eomfortable hotel, 4,000 feet above
the sea, overlooking the Ben River. The
#hotel is about one and a half miles from
the atation. Our train arrived at the
station about 1 a. m., and we shallnot soon
forget the brisk drive in the bright, frosty
. air, over snow -besprinkled grounds, amidst
snow-covered mountains, with stars glim-
• mering overhead. The hotel is a prettily -
designed wooden building, capable of ac-
commodating a hundred gnests, and in the
large entrance hall a huge log -fire, crackling
away on an open hearth, bids welcome
to weary travellers from East and
West, whatever hour of the night
they may arrive. Well, we had
what is termed in America "a lovely time"
at Banff. The sun shone brilliantly, the
air was exhilirating, and we made the most
of our one day. We walked, and we
sketched, and we kodriked—we visited the
hot sulphur springs, which are much re-
sorted to by invals, and which boil out of
Ahe ground at different degrees of temper-
ature from 92 deg. to 90 degs. Some of
these look most tempting to the bather, the
,clean green -blue water bubbling into a
'large pool enclosed by high rocks, and the
rays of the sun glinting through the open-
. ins above. And in the afternoon Captain
Harper, ene of the inspectors of the Mount-
ed Police, came round with his break
and four-in-hand, and took is for a drive
• round the park, charioteering us most skil-
fully up and down the steep roads, winding
• round Tunnel Mountain, and showing us
•many beautiful views.
• The time for departure came all too soon,
and as we were standing near the station
sin the darkness waiting for the' arrival of
the train, I heard a familiar Aberdeen-
shire voice putting the question, " Do
you remember ' Titaboutie ' ? " " Remem-
ber • ' Titaboutie ' ! I should think we
.did ! The voice belonged to a daughter of
• one of Lord Aberdeen's Tarla,nd tenantsand
we found that she and her sister had both
s eome out to Canada. One was engaged at
the Banff Sanatorium, the other was with
her , brother on one. of Sir John Lister-
' Kaye's farms, and both said they liked the
f- Country. It was a touch of home where we
‘ . had least expected it, but it was by no
, 'means a solitary experience. Wherever we
• went, • it • seemed . as if we met
. " oor ain folk," and these same
folk seem generally to get " the
, guiding o't." That reflection should do
more than fill our hearts with pride of old
' Scotland, it should bring home to those of
us who are parents the additional responsi-
bility of being parents of ohildren Who be-
long to a race who seetn bound to rise to
i high position and influence wherever they
may go, the world over. The thought that
, the destinies of countries fat away may one
day • largely rest in our children's hands
, should fill un with a noble ambition for
them, that they may be able to say with
- °there who have gone before—
We muss the prairie ae et old
The pilgrims crossed the sea,
' To make the West, as they tho East,
The homestead of the free.
•`We go to plant her coromon schools
On distant prairie swells,
And give the Sabbaths of the wilds
The music of her bells.
Unbearing, like the ark of old,
'Phe Bible in our van,
'We go to test the truth of God,
Against the foes Of Man.
Undoubtedly Scotehmen have largely had
• to do with the making of Canada, and hap-
pily they heve for the most part left their
mark ob her for good. We find their names
much associated, too, with the making of
k this wonderful railway, by nieo.ns of which
all this marvellous scenery is witnessed,
Look at the picture we giVO 3701.1 of a speci-
• men of a good road in these ports before the
railwal dame, and then coo the iron road cut

its way along ledges of rock, twieting and
turniug in every direction op the brink of
the precipices below. Oa some parts of the
road great wooden ereetions, called !MOW -
sheds (sennething of the character of tun-
nels), have had to be put up to protect the
line from snow in winter. By this means
the road is ecarcely, if ever, blooked, even
during heavy falls of %mow. And, bhus, by
one device and another, and by the exercise
of constant, vigilant inspection, this railway,
though covering much an extent of country,
and though having to face so many perilous
places, can, up to the present time, thank-
fully record tluab they have only lost the
life of one passenger, and that wee in con-
sequence of his standing on the steps of the
Car after being warned by the conductor not
to do so.
I could tell you much of the glimpses we
caught of life in British Columbia, of the
Indians spearing the salmon of the China-
men washing the sand for gold, of the vil-
lages of both Indiane and Chinese, which
are quite different to any other we had
seen, and the curious burying -places, high
up in the trees, which the Indians make
for their dead. But I prefer to wait until
I have seen more of all this, and will then
gladly give you a paper or two, exclusively
on British Columbia, if you ehould wish it.
I will only ask you on this occasion to
come straight on to the cities of Vancouver
and Victoria, and take a look of these
before we part. '
At Vancouver we were most hospitably
entertained bythe Mayor, Mr, Oppen-
heimer, and his wife, and, in addition to
this,the Scotch and Irish residents
combined together to give us a most hearty
and kindly reception one evening. In this
way we heard much of all that was doing in
the place, and of its wonderful growth
since the disastrous fire which utterely
annihilated it five years ago. Within
three months after the fire four
hundred houses had been erected, and
the progress has since been so rapid that
there is now a population of 13,000. This
is the more remarkable when we reflect
that the site on which the town stands was
coverer' with a dense forest of enormous
pines, such as we now 800 just outeide the
limits of present habitations. Their great
roots have to be removed, and. the heavy
wood and dead timber have to be cleared
at an enormous expense before the land can
be utilized, yet a great part of this forest is
already parcelled out into building blocks,
and is selling at a high price. And where
the Douglas pine and the cedar flourished
undisturbed but a few years ago, handsome
streets are now formed, lighted with elec-
tric light, and supplied with electric tram-
cars. Most of the buildings are of wood,
but there are a few principal streets
where only stone or brick buildings may
be erected. Great foresight is also
being ehown by the municipal authorities
in matters of sanitation and drainage,
unlike some new towns, where such matters
have been left to chance'and even in
these early days a Public Park has been reit
aside • with a circuit of ten miles, called
after the present Governor-General, the
Stanley Park.
We had the advantage of being shown
some of the country round Vancouver by
an old friend whom I laad often seen dur-
ing my childhood at my father's home in
Inverness-shire. He came out here three
years ago to see if this would be a good
place for his sons, and liked ieso much that
he eiever went back, but sent for hirennily
to •join him. As he pointed d4 to
us, the peninsula, on which Vancouver is
situated on either side of her beautiful har-
bor is bound to be built over and to become
exceedingly valuable as the city develops
under the increase of trade which must of
necessity come, through its being the ter-
minus of the C. P. R, and commanding the
shortest route to Japan, China and India,
by the new magnificent rstearnahips which
are now running. Just ten weeks ago, the
advantage of this route over any other was
demonstrated by the Japanese mails reach-
ing Queenstown in twenty days from leaving
Yokohama. You may imagine the pride of
the Vancouver people at seeing the Empress
of Japan sail proudly in after a nine days'
voyage from Yokohama. ,
The atmosphere of hope and faith in the
future of their country makes British Col-
umbiana a very delightful people. • There is
a spirit of enterprise in the air which,
• coupled to natural advantages, makes suc-
cess a. certainty. This belief in the future
was rather amusingly illustrated by a huge
sign -board which we found stuck into the
ground on the borders of a dense forest,
with no house in sight. The notice ran
thus:

trimness, and the Admiral's room, in the
eud bows of the ship, was like a drawing -
room for cosiness and eemfort, a bright fire
burning in a grate, and comfortable chairs
and tables and ornaments, all looking Its if
we were ashore. Admiral Hotbain gave a.
high character to British Columbia ; he had
been here for five inonths and this was only
the seemid wet day he had seen—climate,
people and all surroundings were amongst
the pleasantest he hadknovea in his nautical
wanderingta It was sad that we should not
have the opportunity of seeing the place to
full advantage, but our brief stay was full
of enjoyments, including an evening at Gov-
ernment Holm, and here, too, we met our
friend, Professor Henry Drummond, who
had jnet arrived from Australia and Japan,
and who now joined our party for the home-
ward trip.
Here then, amidst the roses and fragrant
breezes of this favored Isle, I must leave
you, with many regrets that out
trip has come to an end. It is a,
hurried journey that we have taken,
and we have had but glimpses of the
inexhatuitable resources of this great coun-
try. But if these little eketches have added
somewhat to your knowledge of what
Canada is, if it has inereased your pride in
her, if it has kindled a desire to do what
may be in you power to build up its for-
tunes, I shall feel they have not been written
in vain. The high moral and the religious
character of her present population, the
wise and true foundations that they are
laying for future development and pros-
perity inake one long that thosereinaiiting in
the Old Country should thoroughly realize
how much reason they have to rejoice in our
common kinship, and that those thinking of
coming out to Canada to try their fortunee
should come with a hearty desire to do
their utmost for the land of their adoption.
There has been some disappointment this
year at the increase of thepopule.tion during
the last decade being only half a million.
Still, all admit that the men seetlers are of
a good stamp, and this, after all, is of far
more importance than mere numbers.
Strong in her sense of the future, she can
afford to wait. As we sail down her
rivers and lakes, and traverse her prairies,
and climb her mountains, the
poet Whittier's words haunt xis -
1 hear the tread of pioneers,
Of nations yet to be,
The first low wash of waves where soon
Shall roll a human sea.
Our eyes may not see this consummation,
but we may join our prayers to those of a
Cauadianpoet, with whose words I will close:
Canada! Maple -land! Land of great moun-
tains!
Lake land and river land: Land 'twixt the
seas! _
Grant us, God, hearts that are large as our
heritage,
Spirits as free as the breeze!
There is a tide in the affairs of men, .
Which, taken at its flood, leads on to fortune
This is the tide of your Well

wonder whether we shall find thecity of
Steveston an accomplished fact this year?
We must tear ourselves away •from Van-
couver and its beautiful surroundings with
regret, and embark in the " Islander " for
the five hours crossing to Victoria, under
Captain Hulden's care. See Mount Baker
raising its head high above the sunset
clouds, all in a golden glory, and seeming
isolated far above all the rest of the common
world below. And there, opposite, are the
peaks of the famed Olympic Range, standing
out a deep blue against the sky, only hidden
here and there by a light mist curling about
their sides. So we sail out of Vancouver,
and the sunset fades into moonlight over a
delightful calm sea long before we reach
Victoria, the beautiful capital of British
Columbia. Is it indeed Victoria and
Vancouver Island where we have arrived 7
Has not the" Islander" lost her way and
brought us by a short route back to Eng
land, and landed at Torquay? The re-
semblance bas almost a touch of the ridicu-
lous in it—the same scents, the same sort
of greenness all round, the same sort of
ferns and foliage arid surroundings, and en
that day, at any rate, the same moiet feel-
ing in the air, developing later on into a
steady downpour. Then English voices
and fames abound, and English customs pre-
dominate so largely that the illusion would
be complete if we were not recalled to our
whereabouts by the presence of the Chinese
pigtail everywhere,
The residents of British Columbia, would
be hard put to it if it*ere not for these same
Chinese. Domestic servants are vety difficele
to get, and even when obtained often give
themselves such airs that the mistresses are
glad to return to the Chinarnan, who will
a.ct as cook, housemeid, waiter, groom and
• gardener, all in one, without ming any
trouble. Girls, however, who do come out,
• and are ready to work and do what they
are told, get very high wages. Labor gene-
rally is very dear. An ordinary laboi.er
Will get 10s. to 12s. a day, and mechanics
and masons get ae much as 16s. to 20s. a
day.
We much regretted that the steady rain
prevented tis from seeing all the beauties of
the place. But the Governor of British
Columbia and Mae Nelson and Sir Joeoph
and Lady Truth were ready to help us to
see all that could be seen. As it wits, the
Governor kindly drove us down to the /Rag,

Probably not; but how often do you take
far greater risks? A snake -bite is not the
only means of introducing poison into the
system. If your liver is sluggish, it fails to
remove the impurities from the blood which
passes through it, and deadly poisons are
thus thrown into the circulation, all the
more daagerous because they are insidious.
If your blood is impure, if yeur liver is out
of order, if you have blotches, pimples,
boils or eruptions "don't monkey with the
snake !" Take Di.. Pierce's Golden Medical

The Increase of Crime.
Detroit News : • The growth of the
criminal class, so-called, is a question that
has engaged the attention of the Pro-
fessional reformers for some years back,
almost to the exclusion of the other subjects
of kindred interest. The prison reform
congresses that are held every year under
the presidency of Mr. R. B. Hayes, of
Fremont, 0., and in the presence of Mr.
Levi L. Barbour, of this city, are annually
forced to bewail the way the world is going
to the bad. Every year the people who
will do bad things get ahead of. the reform-
ers by so many and so many hundredths
per cent. They may measure them up by
the Bertillion system, classify and codify
and differentiate them, put them in jail
under indeterminate sentences, and do what
they will, but the professional reformers
find the crime wave rolling up in size and
violence, now here, now there, now every-
where, to their confusion.

The Meek iPairensent !Unite:Allay.
Ottawa, Free .Press : Western physicians
have come to the conclusion that cedar
block pavements are prejudicial to ..public
health in those cities where they are in use,
as they harbor the germs of typhoid and
other diseases. There is talk of tearing up
the cedar pavements which have been put
down at great expense in Toronto. Allover
the country the cedar block pavement is
being condemned, and the general concen-
sus of opinion is that in those cities which
cannot afford granite or solid asphalt good
brink is about the best material for paving
streets. Brick pavements last Nada are
easily repaired, and no objection can be
urged to them on sanitary grounds.

GUY LIE ADOPT IT?
Reasons Given bychruerneitl.e for Not Going to
iniglainyyollsoaull Mt going to church this morn -
Ali, yes; r see. " The music is not
good "; that's a pity; that's' what you are
going to church for, to hear the music.
And the less wo pay, the better music we
demand.
"And the pews are not poinfortable " ;
that's too bad ---the Sabbath is a day of rest
and we go to church to repose. The less
we do during the week, the more rest we
clamor for on Sabbath.
"The church is so far away; it is too far
to walk, and you detest riding in a street
car, and they're always crowded on Sab-
bath." This is indeed distressing; some-
times when I think how much farther away
heaven is than the church, and that there
are no conveyances on the road of any
description, I wonder how some of us are
going to get there.
"And the sermon is so long, always."
All these things are indeed to be regretted.
I would regret them more sincerely, my
boy, did I not know that you will often
squeeze into a stuffed street car with a hun-
dred other men, breathing an incense of
whiskey, beer and tobacco, and hang on a
strap by your eyelids for two miles, then
pay 50 cents for the privilege of sitting on a
rough plank in the broiling sun for two
hours longer, while in the intervals of the
game a scratch band will blow discordant
thunder out of a dozen misfit horns right in
your ears, and come home to talk the rest
of the family into a state of aural paralysis
about the "dandiest game you ever saw
played on that ground.'
Ah, my boy, you see what staying away
from church does? It develops a habit of
lying. There isn't one man in a hundred
who could go on the witness stand and give,
under oath, the same reasons for not going
to church that he gives to his family every
Sabbath morning. My son, if you didn't
think you ought to go, you wouldn't make
any excuse for not going. No Mall apologizes
for doing right.—Bo h Burdette.
The Fastest Short Dun on Bails.
It is disputed that the fastest train in
Great Britain is the Scotch Express. The
New York Sun says in auswer to a corres-
pondent: "For it short distance four English
trains beat mica and the fastest train in the
world is on the Great Northern, of England,
between Grantham and King's Cross Station,
London; the distance is only 105a miles,
but the schedule speed is 54 nines an hour.
The schedule speed on the Central's new
express is 52i miles an hour, and the Balti-
more & Ohio's miles au hour."

Very Silly.
A lady who, since the memory of the
present generation, has been earning her
living by writing newspaper and magazine
articles and in various other ways, and is
therefore quite as much of a working woman
as if she scrubbed floors for a maintenance,
writes a paper lamenting the degeneracy of
domestic help in the United States, and
remarks:
We can never have no "perfect service" in
O republic.
Dear ! dear ! by all means this lady
should migrate, bandbox and bundle, to
Europe and live there, where from the
superior heights of writing at a cent a word,
more or less, she can look down upon the
woman who sweeps up her literary
litter and enjoy the "perfect service"
which only a monarchy or an em-
pire can yield. Her aristocratic sensitivi-
ties are- quite • too acute for her to tarry
longer in her own country, where, as the
old man said when speaking to the Sun-
day school class : Maybe all these
little boys and girls will some day be
presidents."
The "perfect service" in the domestic
line in America went when women who
wanted to introduce foreign ways brought
into their kitchen the cap and back door
business, and set themselves up as persons
of another race than the people who for
wages performed their work. Then every
self-respecting American girl fled the
kitchen. Joan of Arc was a hostler. What
a horrid creature she would have been to

But over and above all this the girl baby

Andrew Jackson never risked a son. The
greatest Democrats of the country have
steadily pursued this safe and conservative
policy, the crest advantages of which are
illustrated by the contrasts presented in other
parties. The opponents of Democracy have
been obliged to elect two presidents as sons
of their fathers or grandsons of their grand-
fathers—a misfortune which could not have
happened had the Democratic precedent
been followed. --Elmira Telegram.
