" My desire is To unlock the treasure? of the Island heart. With loving feet to tiace each hill and glen. And find the ore that is not for the mart Of commerce." Fo'c's'le Tarns, by a Manmain, US suppose that the summer tourist has embarked LETon board the Ben-my-Chree from Liverpool, or the Manxman, from Barrow-in-Furness ; that, in the one case, he has passed the miles of docks and the forest of masts which line the entrance to the Mersey, or that, in the other, he has bidden farewell for a time to as much of new and old England as are represented by the almost brand-new town and spacious docks and basins in tlio north of Lanca- shire, which aspire to rival Liverpool itself some day the Barrow folks devoutly believe that thoy will have not long to wait—and by the old Piel castle, that venerablt representative of the times when steamers and docks and railroads were undreamed of, when knights and barons found it necessary to erect such fortresses to protect themselves and their belongings, and when Cistercian monks sang matins and vespers, or walked gravely in the cloisters of the abbey, magnificent even now, though mouldering and roofless, which the traveller saw at Fm'uess, a few miles before he reached the pier at Eamsden Dock station, Barrow.
