HOLIDAY GIrTs.-If you would be held
in grateful remembrance by your friends,
present them with beautiful picture
handsomely framed. However, before

On Thursday afternoon two young men
of this village drove through our streets
in state of glorious "inebriety." They
were heard from on the Bridport road,
where it was said they were trying to
make the horse follow the rail fence, as
they would themselves have done if going
afoot. 1t seems that after long, dubi-
GUS journey up hill aud down. beside the
fence and in the ditch, they succeeded in
getting into town, in the plight above
mentioned with faces besmeared with
mud SO as to entirely protect them from
recognition. If they had driven directly
home no one would have mistrusted they
we're the neat, tidy young men that ap-
pear among us every day. But the
swaying motion of one and the troubled,
downcast (upcasD look of the other, to-
gether with their unsteady driving, at
tracted attention, and they were recog.
nized. A business man in town took pity
on them and drove them home where it is
supposed they were cared for If such
scenes are permitted. where are we
drifting to?
What is true in mechanical business,
holds true in every department of trade.
The notion that one store, or one shop,
can do all the business to be done in
town, is all nonsense. We happened to
think, that a few years ago, there was but
one jewelry and watch establishment in
town, and that little 7x9 room down on
the bridge; yet that was though texten-
sive in those days We well remember
how our young eyes used to stare at the
bright and shining tca-pots and few
other things Dyar used to keep behind
his 6xS show case windows. and we
thought, o! how splendid But now,
we have two establishments in full blast,
which out-do many retail establishments
in the cities. From small beginning,
Brewster, by years of close attention to
business, and fair and honorable dealing,
has drawn to his establishment large
trade which seems on the increase.
Brewster's success should be a stmulant
to young men. 1t shows that close at
tention and perseverance in business will
soon prove a success There are other
cases we may allude to hereafter.

On account Of the great demand for these

a Shelf that would avoid our patents; and some
