THE STORY OF HOW CARLISLE GOT ITS NAME
This is a true story to. Long ago there was a girl lived in
charlotte town. I dont know her name so I cant right it and maybe
it is just as well for Felicity might think it wasnt romantik like
Miss Jemima Parrs. She was awful pretty and a young englishman
who had come out to make his fortune fell in love with her and
they were engaged to be married the next spring. His name was Mr.
Carlisle. In the winter he started off to hunt cariboo for a
spell. Cariboos lived on the island then. There aint any here
now. He got to where it is Carlisle now. It wasn't anything then
only woods and a few indians. He got awful sick and was sick for
ever so long in a indian camp and only an old micmac squaw to wait
on him. Back in town they all thought he was dead and his girl
felt bad for a little while and then got over it and took up with
another beau. The girls say that wasnt romantik but I think it
was sensible but if it had been me that died I'd have felt bad if
she forgot me so soon. But he hadnt died and when he got back to
town he went right to her house and walked in and there she was
standing up to be married to the other fellow. Poor Mr.
