200 WHO MAY COME TO THIS PROVINCE. 



discomforts which necessarily attend a change to new 

 scenes, circumstances, and habits. 



Again, as to those who may come to this province 

 the poor man, whose ambition is limited to the attain 

 ment of a comfortable independence, abundant food and 

 clothing for his family, and provision for them all after 

 his own death he may come. If he has only money to 

 carry himself and his family there, he must or ought to 

 be content to work for others a year or two, till he save 

 enough to go into the woods and select and clear a lot of 

 land for himself. In thus serving, he will also learn the

 place his family in a new home without delay, and avoid 

 the hardships and discomforts which attend upon the 

 first planter of a log-hut in the wilderness.

 district. These parties will also find farms with wider 

 clearings, and better houses and farm-buildings, which 

 they can purchase for various sums suited to their 

 means, in which, by working with their own hands and 

 families, with a little hired labour, they will be able to 

 live in independence, and may hope to place their
