THE ROMANTIC ST. LAWRENCE

It might be said that all the romance in the history of the American continent from the time of its discovery to the present day is crowded into that section which forms the watershed of the St. Lawrence river. From our school days up to the present time we have been absorbed in the literature both historical and of fiction of which the scene is laid in the section above referred to. Every point from the Niagara frontier down Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence river to where that grand stream debouches into the gulf, is provocative of something of the romantic in history, coupled with scenery at once grand and beautiful, magnificent and charming. There is no better way to spend a vacation or to enrich one's mind than to take, say a steamer of the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company from Toronto, passing down Lake Ontario, thence through the charming scenery of the Thousand Islands and the rapids of the St. Lawrence to Montreal, thence to Quebec, and further on to that most interesting of rivers, the Saguenay. The steamers of this line are large and well equipped and the catering is of the best.
