MapeE his first real visit 
Tuis fall on Tuesday morning, early. 
Mr. Mercury, frightened at his ap- 
pearance, jumped down from 75 degrees 
of Sunday—delightful weather—to 25 
degrees Tuesday a. m. 
Anp the first real ice of the season 
formed; and those who hadn’t filled 
their coal bins bestirred themselves; and 
the ladies got out their last winter’s furs; 
and summer visitors who are still tarry- 
ing with us exulted in the delightful, 
bracing autumn weather; and incidental- 
ly we poor “‘natives’’. turned up our 
coat collars and tried to forget the long 
winter months before us. 
Dip you ever stop to think how many 
“‘first’’ and “‘last’’ dances, picnics, 
whist parties, and the like, there are on 
the North Shore every season?

A Goop instance of Lieutenant Gov- 
ernor Draper’s “‘grit’’ while acting gov- 
ernor was furnished during the pend-. 
ency of the fifty-six hour law. Some of 
the Democrats who wanted to “‘ put the 
governor in a hole’’ and make political 
capital, when the bill contained a fifty- 
four hour proviso, drew up a letter, ad- 
dressed to the acting governor, insinuat- 
ing that he was “‘holding up’’ the bill, 
because he was opposed to it. Mr. 
Draper at once arose in a dignity which 
reminds one of that of the late Govern- 
or Greenhalge when the state house was 
invaded by a “‘ Coxey’s army’’ and 
plumply told the gorilla Democratic sena- 
tors that it was quite outside their pro- 
vince to attempt to influence the execu- 
tive and that he would deal with the bill 
when it came before him. It is need- 
less to say that the bushwhacking sena- 
tors withdrew and pulled the hole in 
after them.

Talk about meanness! Why, there is 
a man on Beach street, not far from the 
Breeze office, who cut the tail off his cat 
so as to keep down his coal bill this win- 
ter. Heclaimsa cat with atail takes 
several seconds longer to get out the 
door than one without a tail; and every 
time the door is opened in winter it lets 
in cold air, and consequently more coal 
is required to “‘heat up.’’

RANDOM THOUGHTS. 
Continued from page 3 
bad maxim, that the end justifies the 
means, there is really no excuse for the 
method which seems coming into vogue 
of dragooning people into giving to some 
charity or some popular object. 
One thing that the world always needs 
is open debate. Many things may be 
said unwisely, many unsound arguments 
may be used; many absurd remedies may 
be proposed; but what we want, first, 
last, and always, is, light; and this is 
best struck out by friction of mind upon 
mind. Any difference and _ confusion 
even is better than listless torpor; 
running water will in time clear itself, 
but stagnant water only breeds mischief ; 
intellectual activity, even if it sometimes 
is erratic, is better than intellectual 
lethargy. 
It is not needful always to say any- 
thing, in order to help another; a look, 
a smile, a pressure of the hand, may do 
it; we are not told that the Lord in every 
instance said anything to the objects of 
his compassion, but it is recorded on one 
occasion that ““there went virtue out of 
him and healed them all.’’ Does virtue 
go out of us in the home, in the school, 
as we walk our daily paths? Is the 
street the better, as was once said of a 
person, because we live on it? Does 
our lamp give light to all that are in the 
house? Do we bear in mind that it is 
not what we say, or even what we do, 
so much as what we are, that tells in the 
long run? 
The frosts of age may silver the brow 
and retard the step, but it is ‘the closing 
period of life that brings the summer and 
autumn to their full maturity; the ripest 
grains and fruits are those that are latest 
gathered ; even the last years may be the 
best, ‘‘ frosty, but kindly.’’ 
was the maid of honor, and the best 
man was Dr. Ralph Foss of Peabody. 
The bridesmaids were Miss R. Marle 
Appleton, Miss Elizabeth R. Phippen, 
Miss Pauline Curtis and Miss Ethel B. 
Pike of Salem. E. Edward Newhall of 
Lynn and Roger Blaney of Peabody were 
the ushers. 
The cremony was at 7 o'clock, fol- 
lowed by areception from 7.30 to 9.30 
o’clock. 
Mr. Nichols is proprietor of the Old 
Corner Store at Manchester. After a 
short weddingtrip Mr. and Mrs. Nichols 
will come to Manchester and will live 
in the Soulis house on Lincoln street.
