We shall be better prepared than usual to store plants for the winter. 
A wedding of Easter week will be that of Miss Lila 
Leonard, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur G. 
Leonard, of Eastern Point, Gloucester, and Chicago, to 
Carleton B. Swift, of Boston. Their future home will 
be in Portland, Ore. Miss Leonard was a bridesmaid at 
the prominent wedding in New York last Saturday of 
Miss Helvetia Orr, daughter of Mrs. Arthur Orr of 
Chicago, and Francis Bowditch Perkins, of Boston. 
Among Mr. Perkins’ relatives is Mrs. William Hooper of 
the West Manchester colony. The Leonards have one of 
the most delightfully situated homes on Eastern Point. 
It is built on one of the high cliffs near the water and at 
the extreme point of this pretty peninsula, which helps to 
enclose Gloucester harbor. Nearest homes to the Leon- 
ard place, known as “The Bowlders,” are those of the 
John Clays of Chicago, who have the sightly ‘“Finisterre,” 
the J. Murray Kays and John H. Proctors of Boston. 
Just beyond these places the rocky road leads to the 
Eastern Point Light. The Leonard sisters have been ac- 
tive in all of the social affairs and sports of the Point 
where, with the Misses Pollard, they were usually the 
enthusiastic promoters of such. In October Miss Dorothy 
Leonard became Mrs. C. Groverman Ellis at a pretty 
church wedding in Chicago and is now living in that city.

week for the customary winter visit to California. 
Most of us are wonderful economists when it comes 
to making a little goodness go along way. We hate to 
waste it, or to show it when we know it will not be appre- 
ciated. But Marivaux put a large truth into a brief epi- 
gram, nevertheless, when he said, “In this world it is 
necessary to be a little too good in order to be good 
enough.”’—Great Thoughts. 
“God bless the ‘good natured for they bless every- 
body,” 
TRE CALL 
My, country, do you hear the call? 
Its solemn message thrills the air. 
It sounds above the desperate fight, 
And sternly bids you do you share. 
With Freedom’s very life at stake, 
With Law and Order overthrown, 
My listless land, awake! awake! 
The Peril has become your own. 
From the ripe wisdom of the past 
A warning voice, a trumpet blast 
Today seems ringing from the sky— 
“Tis man’s perdition to be safe 
When for the truth he ought to die!’ 
My country, do you heed the call? 
The hour has struck; the sands are run; 
Your chance to take the patriot’s stand 
May vanish by tomorow’s sun. 
If you refuse to guard the Rights 
For which our Fathers fought and died, 
To watch and trim the beacon lights, 
You shall be stricken in your pride! 
Haul down the flag, no more to be 
Shelter and emblem of the free. 
For hark! again that warning cry— 
“Tis man’s perdition to be safe 
When for the truth he ought to die!’ 
—MRS. THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON. 
Breuitivs 
Who would succeed in the world should be wise in 
the use of his pronouns; utter the You twenty times 
where you once utter the 1—John Hay.. 
A mother, she’s always got enough love to go round, 
somehow. 1 wish you could say the same of shoes.t— 
Margaret Deland. 
“It’s been my experience that you’ve got to have leis- 
ure to be unhappy. Half the troubles in the world are 
imaginary, and it takes time to think them up.” 
I believe that we should so act that we may draw 
nearer and more near the age when no man shall live at 
his ease while another suffers—Helen Keller. 
If we are ever in doubt what to do, it is a good rule 
for us to ask ourselves what we shall wish on the morrow 
that we had done.—Lubbock. 
If a man can write a better book, preach a better ser- 
mon, or make a better mousetrap than his neighbor, 
though he build his house in the woods, the world will 
make a beaten pathway to his den—Emerson.
