This new road gu.sses disectly through the farm of my Grandfather not twenty feet from the spot where my mother and all the family were born. Part of the old house is standing and to say it was interesting to me is gutinfi it very mildly indeed. Between Port Ellen and Bowmore both rords pass through an From W. Tarbert to Port Ellen is traâ€" 'versed in from thiee to four hours ‘:\cco:ding to weather, by the Steamer Glencoe which must hiave been old when I was born, The view of the Island at Port Elien is a fair one though different in many respects from the mainlaud. Not many farm houses are seen. As the port is entered the distillery is straight in front the light house to the left and to the right the old part cf the town extending outward on a small rocky peninsula which forws a shelter for the harbor, Behind the lighthouse is the old farm where my father was born and not far off is the cemetery where many of the family probably lie buried. The old church is in ruins. Islay has been called the Queen of the Hebrides with what justice I know not but certain it is that it is tair to look ‘upon. The monotuny of trayel from Glasgow here is $broken by change. i’l‘he train first takes you to Gourock,. then the steamer Columba connects Gourock with East Tarbert yia Rothâ€" say and the Kyles of Bute, one of the prettiest routes in all the Western Highlands. â€" East Tarbert is connectâ€" ed with W. Tarbert by stage, the distâ€" ance being only about two miles or less. The yourg people of Canada should doubly honor those whose unwearied toil in the primeval forests has secured for them the inestimable privileges which they possess and which I regret to say some of them hold too lightly. The declining years of any of these pioneers who yet survive should be nursed with filial tenderness and unâ€" dying devotionâ€"the only ccin in which we can repary the immense debt of gratitude we owe, Bowmore, Islay, Sept. 8th, 1897. After a journey of 180 miles from Glasgow by train, bout and coach I arrived at this remote Highland retreat more in the mood for resting than for writing. My feelings on first torching the soil of this fair Western Isle, the home of my ancestors for I don‘t know how many generaiions and the burial place of many of them, may more easily be imagined than described, t Every pait of it seems sacred, for its names are imperishably associated with my earliest recollections. I should mention a few of these names | but that they are more easily pronounâ€" ced in English than spelled in the native tongue. Any reputation I have had as a speller would certainly vanish were I to make the attempt. But to see houses, farms, landscape, strand | Iand distant hill, to walk over roads, streets, moore and sand dunes all J familiar haunts of fathe? and mother| in the days of their infancy, youth and ® early manhood and womanhood, seem | : to stir up to life and action myriads of j images upon which the fancy loves to l linger. Iseem to liveover again their|« | life of two generations ago. 1 seent to f , follow the different stages of their lives | 1 ,until " two hcarts beat as one," then ‘f shortly afterwards, the emigration of| j ‘Canada and the severing of those|! ! sacred ties which bind so strongly to 1‘1 ihu;.:“and kindred, the patient struggle | 4 in the backwoods oi Bentinck and the| seltdeniati of which their children and & children‘s children are now reaping | c ;tlw rich and abundant haryest. These ;" all rise in succession before the imagin | . ation and the heart goes out in thankâ€"| a fulness, first to God who brought these : things to pass and second.y to those| d parents who braved the not inconsid ;“ erable dangers of a slow ocean yoyage | j in the early fifties in order to leave a | 0 heritage of free land, free education f: trce religion in a free country to their | B successorsâ€"things which they could| . not possibly leave in this land with :; the means at their command. in Scenes and Reflections in the Home of his Ancestors DURHAM, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30. 1897. In a Pensive Mood. . CAMPBELL IN ISLAY. 1 tb A musical entertainment was beld in the Church here on the eve of the 28th which was very good, All were delighted with the program and although the adâ€" mission was only 15¢, the sum of $18 was realized, Mr. and Mrs, Geo. Turnbull have just taken to themselves a well earned holiday which they spent visiting friends, in and near Fergus and other places. Mr. Thos. Kennedy, of Philadelphia and his brother John of Riply, pmd a fying yisit to their cousin, Mrs, W. J. Derby, last week. Cutting and shocking corn is now the order of the day, and owing to the fine weather of late it has been put in in splendid condition. Mr. T. H. Jâ€"awrence sold four, two year old steers recently for a nice sum of $120. This looks as if the good old times were returning. Well Mr‘ Editor as che busy season has at last come to an end we thall endeavor to give you a few items of interest from our burg. A drive from Bowmore to Port Asâ€" kaig (10 miles) around the head of Lochâ€" indal, past Bridgend and Islay House and through an undulating, beautiful country brings me ngun to the steamer Glencoe bound for W, Tarbert on board which I drop into the cabin to give you this yery imperfect an1informal sketch. Consign it to the waste basket if you will. It is probably where it ought to go, My visit to Islay is now a thing of the past. It has been of deepest interest to me and my feelings in parting from its shores were quite different from those experienced leaving any other place yet visited. If my visit is exhnusted so is my paper, hence I must again say adieu. with best wishes for you all, ! Une cannot help regretting that the tillage of the soil in such fxir islands as this and others on the coast should alâ€" most fhaye ceased, _ When, fifty years ago cultivated fields were seen, is now cough, shaggy land grown wild and **peopled" by immense flocks of the woolly tribe, _ I was told however that the farmers have gone into sheep raising not from (‘nmrulsion, as is sometimes reported, but because it pays them betâ€" ter,. _ For small lambs they get seven and eight shillings and for full grown sheep from one £ upwards, _ In view of the fact that no winter feeding is reâ€" quired this is more profitable than grain growing at the prices obtainable for some years past, Inr ies Anrliatin 6. > dn lt cb ut 25â€" MB " 4 11 ofi â€" > 1 Ad dlery shop in which I called has been continuously used for the same purpose for 93 years and in that time has only had three occupants, _ These are some of the things :which go to prove the stability of the Anglo Saxon and Celtic taces and the security and solidity of Biitish Institutions. M The villages of Port Ellen, Bowmore and Port Askaig are in much the same condition as they were fifty or one hundred years ago. The old sound church at Bowmore built in 1767 is in execllent condition and looks good for as long again. _ A few new houses have been built but the old are still as the were for seyeral generations. One sauff A trip back from Bowmore to Glenâ€" egidale along the new roadâ€"for the old strand road has long since ceased to be usedâ€"and a half day spent on the old farm and along the big strands where my dear mother played and frollicked in the days of her girlhood was one of the pleasantest o? my visit and will doubtless lougest remain in the reminâ€" iscences of coming years. By the way the farm is still occupied by relatiyes whose exceedingly f: iendly welcome will| induce a longer yisit in the future should it be my lot ever again to cross the big " fishâ€"pond." Purgon these perâ€" sonal remarks. Call what produces theml sentiment if you will, I flave long ago learned that sentiment (Fln,ys a very imâ€"| portant part in all the dearest relations of life. It is largely sentiment that binds » people together firmer than adamant under one soyereign. It is sentiment that, given the names loye. friendship, comradeship, anything you like, bind heart to heart, hand to K.-md and thus helps men and women every where to bear more easily the burden‘s of life. I would not have it otherwise and perâ€" haps I rejoice that 1 yet feel these tenâ€" derer emotions which all too soon pass | out of some lives, l waterâ€"not in lakes or ponds but all over between the clumps of grass and heather. A walk of a congle of miles over it taught me to wate my steps and abundantly prove how unpleasant if not unsafe a journey over lt at night would be. In certain places far apart, farm houses are seen but the crop patches appear small in the wide exâ€" panse constantly before the eye. _ Most of the surface is covered by full flowerâ€" ed heather which especially in the highâ€" er levels beautifies the landscape and relieves the treeless monotony. * There is something uncanny about a vast moor like this, The surface is fat frommeven though the general leyel is monotonous. The land seems high yet most of it is covered here and chere with upland Moorâ€"the first real moor I had ever seen.
