‘Tarr and prosperity!’’—for Man- 
chester and the North Shore. 
Is SUMMER coming? Look over this 
week’s Breeze. The paper has in- 
creased eight pages within the past four 
weeks. 
Drepcinc! The prevailing  senti- 
ment in Manchester seems to be decid- 
edly in favor of having the town dredge 
a channel to the town pier at Mascono- 
mo Park, and of having a basin dug out 
near the pier. [he matter is to be 
brought up again at the adjourned meet- 
ing next Monday night. An appropri- 
ation of something over $4000 is needed. 
Too much emphasis cannot be laid on 
the necessity of Manchester providing 
suitable public landing places in the town 
if it is to cater to its summer business. 
A large proportion of our summer col- 
ony have boats, and during a greater 
part of the summer there are large yachts 
and power boats in the outer harbor. 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 
If the town is to benefit by these “‘ float- 
ing palaces,’’ they might be termed in 
some cases, suitable and convenient 
landing places must be provided so that 
the small boats from these yachts may 
land. 
Whatever may be said against the 
proposition the fact yet remains that 
there is not a public landing in town, 
except the pier at Tuck’s Point, where 
a boat may land at all hours. If the tide 
is high the drawbridge bars the passage 
into the inner harbor, and if the tide is 
low the undredged channel directly be- 
neath the drawbridge prevents passage. 
And there you are. 
Now, is it not the easiest and most 
businesslike way open for the town, to 
dredge a channel to the pier which the 
town owns at Masconomo park, so that 
at high and low tide boats may land, 
without intruding on private property? 
Manchester Public Library. 
The annual report of the state free 
public library commission was submitted 
to the legislature a few days ago. ‘The 
following reference is made to the Man- 
chester Public Library: 
The trustees report, with grateful 
appreciation, that ever since the town, in 
1871, came into possession of the Ly- 
ceum Library of about 1000 volumes as 
the nucleus for a free town library, it 
never has failed to appropriate each year 
the sum asked for by the trustees. From 
this small beginning the library has grown 
to a present total of about 13000 volumes, 
with a circulation well above 20,000. 
‘“ The need of a reading room is man- 
ifest, but until the Grand Army post that 
occupies the large western room in the 
building shall cease to need it, there is no 
present prospect of obtaining the space 
desired. Work with the schools grows 
in interest and importance, and books are 
purchased frequently as required for 
teachers and scholars in their studies. 
Many pupils visit the library to consult 
the reference books. 
“* Gifts of value from friends of the 
library—notably summer residents—have 
been received. For the ‘‘ History of 
All Nations,’’ in 24 volumes, beautifully 
illustrated, thanks are due to Henry S. 
Grew, T. Jefferson Coolidge, Mrs. 
Mary P. Pickering, H. L. Higginson, 
Ellen Hemenway and George R. White, 
Miss I. P. Curtis has presented Pics

umes, very fully illustrated, Mary G.

THE AWAKENING. 
> 
I shall be satisfied when I awake in thy like- 
ness. —Ps. XVII:15. 
Said a worm to a worm: 
I dare to afim, 
Though here we are bound 
To dwell on the ground 
And devour the crude 
And coarsest of food, 
Yet the season is near 
For changing our sphere. 
Soon shall we creep 
Into silence and sleep. 
Then shall a change, 
Wondrous and strange, 
Overtake us, 
A power shall awake us 
To happier things; 
We shall soar upon wings. 
We shall nest in fair bowers 
And feed upon flowers, 
We shall bask in the sunshine 
And bathe in the dew, 
And beauty and joy shall be ours. 
Brother Worm, what say you? 
Tis too good to be true! 
—JosepH A. Torrey.

Manchester was visited by two fires 
the past week although neither caused 
any great loss. Monday an alarm from 
Box 61 was rung in about 12:20 p. m. 
for a blaze at the small building on the 
Dr. Brown estate at the Neck, used as a 
store house and woodshed. One of the 
employees on the grounds was burning 
over the grass and leaves nearby, and the 
fire spread to the house, eating its way 
underneath the building. The house 
was in flames when the department ar- 
rived and will be a total loss. 
Thursday an alarm was rung in from 
Box 43 for a brush fre on the Dana es- 
tate. Owing to the high wind that was 
blowing, the ames spread very rapidly 
and it was rather difficult to check them. 
Had such a fire got: a headway, the 
buildings nearby would probably have - 
caught. As to the cause of the fre it is 
believed that the strong wind fanned a 
small bonfire which had been built the 
day before and the flying sparks set the 
dry leaves afre. Some two acres were 
burned over. “The Charles Head house 
was in the path of the fire, but fortunate- 
ly the fire was put out before reaching 
the house.
