 foreign look about it, with it's dark old

 buildings, and deep, barred windows. The

 people in the street have all such a pic-

 tWresqUe air-the Canadians with their red

 sashes about their waists, and the English

 soldiers with their autOMaton looks, and

 the HighIanders in costume, and the queer

 vehicles, and the small horses, and the

 priests and the nnns-all so mingled Up,

 and so different from our own uniformly

 inquisitive, and wi,hal (though the epithe,s

 scarce harmonize) respectable air. The

 Yankees all look (to use one of their phra-

And thore goes an lndian with string of moccasins to sell, grave as a martyr, aud looking neither to the right nor left-a singular demeanor,"a Yankee would think, for man who wanted to find customers. How strangely that Highland CT in the kilt looks beside him, and what glorious comba,ants they would make, pitt ted against each other in a deadly contes,.- both men of magnificent frames, and both evidently, if the port and the eye may be trusted, determined fellows. think I would bet on the Indian. That calm set- tied lip has dash of the heroic that would outlast the habilual courage of discipline.

And talking ofladies-I am now travelling with a Southern gentleman, wife and sister, whom I met at the Thousand Isles- pleasant people as, with the necessity for parting, care particularly to meet.

My agreeable friend sits just beyond me, in the ladies' cabin, wri- ting in her journal and by that look at me just now, think can guess (modesty aside) at the item she is putting down at this moment. Beautiful creature dark eyes and hair, and though little too sal- low. yet wishal so soft and yielding in your manners! And your exquisite accent, too, and your little never-used feet and dainty 6ngcrs-ah. if your mamma and papa had bul had northern notions of education, what a glorious creature you might have made !! but you are most delightfully innocent of some things which other people know, and
