NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
younger, Deacon Albert E. Low, 
Manchester’s oldest son, celebrated 
his 97th birthday Tuesday at his home 
on Ashland avenue. 
Born in Manchester Sept. 26, 1808, 
a number ot years before the War of 
1812, when many of your great grand- 
parents were yet in their teens, 
Deacon Low has almost rounded out 
a century, and what a grand and noble 
life it has been ! 
He can recall the excitement which 
prevailed in Manchester at the time 
of the war between England and the 
United States, when it was feared the 
English would swoop down on the 
coast. He was one of the famous 
forty-niners, sailing around Cape Horn 
in the Billow. He has seen the United 
States develop from a mere stripling 
into the leading nation, of the world. 
Until within a few years Deacon 
Low has been remarkably active, but

of late his hearing has failed him and 
each year sees him more feeble, 
though he is yet quite active. He 
has a remarkable memory, reads the 
papers, and still writes a very legible 
hand. 
Last year he spent his birthday in 
the mountains, but this year he was 
home in Manchester with his daugh- 
ters Mrs. Leach and Mrs. Curriea, 
and he was kindly remembered by 
many friends who sent in flowers and 
congratulatory letters. Many people 
called during the day, but at the close 
of the evening he appeared as fresh as 
when he commenced the day. Little 
Miss Alice Beaton, five months old, 
was the youngest caller, and she was 
privileged with a seat on his knee — 
a veritable picture of May and De- 
cember. 
Among the number of congratula- 
tory letters which Deacon Low re- 
ceived was one from Rev. W. H. 
Ashley in Dakota, and others from 
Prof.and Mrs. N. B. Sargent, Mrs. 
Ida Douglas, the shut-in, and friends 
in New Hampshire. One very sweet 
little poem, which was sent from 
Florida, we publish : 
Ninety-seven swings of life’s pendulum 
Seem many and slow to count, 
Ninety-seven rounds in the ladder of life 
Seem long and tiresome to mount. 
But every swing of the pendulum 
Means life as well as time, 
And the wider view from each ladder round, 
Should make us willing to climb.

Pendulum swings, to you, have meant 
“ Do good, do good while you can.” 
Ladder rounds said, plain as could be: 
“Draw higher your fellow-man.” 
Pendulum swings — are there many more 
Ere the last word has been said? 
Ladder rounds — are they many or few 
That your feet must slowly tread ? 
We, who love you, might swing too long 
The pendulum of your years — 
We might, in love, build a ladder so high, 
That its climbing bring pain and tears. 
God, our Father, the pendulum swings 
And he will swing aright. 
God, our Father, the ladder builds 
That leads at last to the light.
