RAMBLES OF THE RAMBLER
BREEZY NEWS, VIEWS AND
COMMENTS
What He Sees ard Hears While
Roaming the Streets.

The Rambler has no variance
| with the editor of the ARGUS in
his oft repeated but always grow
ing truth that twelve got the
best town in the State"-and
now the editor, as noted 10 Mon
days issue of the ARGUS, is
claiming that we've got the
prettiest town in the State, to
which we readily assent.
In fact, a ramble around Colds
boro any afternoon with the
Rambler-or without him, with
your eyes open, will at least es-
tablish the fact beyond contro
versy that nowhere else, surely,
do the flowers boom so pro-
fusely and beautiful as here.
And when we read their lessons
Alright they teach US many things
that make for the %ennobling of
our souls and the refining of our
sentiments, while cheering US
with their beauty and soothing
US with their fragrance.
That is a sad nature and a
dwarfed soul. indeed, that doesn't
love flowers. Even the birds love
them, and the bees liye upon their
kisses. The maiden is loyelier
when the rose blends its bloom
with the soft, surging bush that
NANTES modesty's fair face than
when no flower rises and falls upon
the heaving bosom of her who
seeks with wide open eyes to pens
citrate life's mysteries, whilst she
laughs the 1eeting hours to the
dusty past. Flowers adorn the
maid and crown the bride, and
each is the better woman. Flowers
at the altar. flowers upon the
tomb; flowers In the Graz
die, and flowers 10 the poor old
withered hands Of age lying cold
and pulseless upon the breast of
faith, in the darkened cuamber
where the dim tapers burn; flow
ers along the path to heaven;
flowers in all places where love
and innocence dwell and hope
and faith subsist.
It is the fading Of the flower
from the baby-face that wounds
the mothers heart; it is the plac-
ing of the little white wreath upon
the poor little length of earth
that breaks her spirit. She rests
the wreath in silent protest and in
prayer.
So f)wers come into our lives
from the cradle onward. It may
be said of them somewhat in that
spirit spoken of children: They
are the Lying poems; all the rest
are dead. They fade and pass,
but they come back in the spring

Although the Rambler has not
been out to his old home at Frog
Pond lately, owing to the contin-
ued dry weather and dusty roads,
nevertheless, the town has been
getting on just as we'll as usual
and does not seem to have lost
anything from u failure to visit
it mot even a funeral on each re-
curing Sunday, as usual. But the
funeral last Sunday was the re-
suit of an unusual accident. 1t
was that of Bill Sykes son Bill
the bad boy of tue town. 1t has
been said that the good die young:
but this time it was Bills son,
who was known as the bad boy of

pump handle, astride, face FORE

scended he in some way lost his
grip and fell head-foremost to the
hard ground around the well,
breaking his neck by the fall
The funeral was Sunday. and both
bands we're on hand, each one

same time: and through both
tunes there seemed to run a note
of gladness that Bill was gone.
Poor Bill! he died young Let
Us hope that he was not an ex,
ception to the rule.

in beauty in the birth-hour of a
perfect night.
