Lubec may be reached by the steam-ferry from Eastport, threemiles distant. It is a drowsy marine village, on a long promontorj,and enjoys the distinction of being the easternmost town of the UnitedStates. Across the straits, and visited by hourly steamboats fx-omEastport, stretches the eight-mile length of the Canadian island ofCampobello, with its great resort-hotels, erected and maintained byBoston capitalists.

STANDREWS Eastward of Passamaquoddy Bay, the interesting sea-coast of theMaritime Provinces extends for hundreds of leagues, by the proudlittle city of St. John, and the land of Evangeline, and gray old Halifax,with its redcoat garrison, and the beautiful Bras dOr Lakes, to theGulf of St. Lawrence and the lonely sliores of Newfoundland.

What a wonderful coast it is, from the suburbandelights of Xahant and Swarapscott to the summer-rest of Cape Ann,Hampton and Eye, York and the Isles of Shoals, Portland and the UG broken shores of liundred-harbored Maine, and so on to the ruddytields of Prince-Edward Island,
