It Is curious that these beautiful

abundant wealth, should have so long

of, Africa, Australasia, Canada or

settle; though It la doubtful whether
?h# Islands <k» not offer him chances of
prizes greater than any to bo found In
iiio colonies. . It can be suld of po
cotiniry in the world that It la more
beautiful than Jamaica; it can be laid
of. few, If. any, that they are richer.
True, there Is no gold, no great min
eral wealth; but there, are the soil and
climate, ttie rich forests and richer
valleys. .There are the sugar planta

fields and the cattle pens. There are
