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

1t were better to wear your
heart upon your sleeve for jack
davis to peck at, if jackdaws there
be, than to keep it concealed by
the FOOLS armor of false pride
and arrogant ignorance for canker-
worms to feed upon. Men, denied
their desires and baked of their
purposes, give strongest proof of
unwort1iness by sour-vlsaged dis
COZ tent, as if awakened from a
night of evil pursuits. The white
flower of a loving life does not
wither at noosday nor waste IN
darkness: it is fresh poisoning
through good and evil report, a
banner that is for ever unsullled.
And every n who will may wear
it and make the world brighter
and better. All the devils are az
frighted by a baby's laugh, and
all the demons of unrest are ex-
ercised by smiles that spring
from hearts that love. In the rec
ord of the angels the name that
led all the rest was the name of
him who loved his fellow-men.
That was the last and the best
confirmation of a virtue lauded
through all ages, and commanded
of God Himself!

There may be gems of purest
ray in the black bed of the
ocear; but the world knows them
not. An hundred cubits below
the imprint Of the maiden's dain-
ty tread may rest a diamond that
an emperor's ransom might be,
but its imprisoned light is value
less. Oae little seed may hold
within it's little compass thelily's
loneliness, but it needs to burs'
and grow, burgeon and bloom.
The gem may be saved from
the oceans deep and brought to
blazon the throbbing of beauty
breast. The diamond may be
claimed of it's hundred cubits Of
earth and wrought to crown the
maiden and challenge the Ugh
of her eyes of love; and the lily
may grow to deck the altar O.
her beautiful bridal.
But to bring these things Il
pass in their fullness there mus
be toilsome endeaYor, patien
perseverance, confident hopeful
ness, persistent seeking of cher
ished purposes. The rust mus
be worn away, and with tn
wearing comes the fulfllment o
anticipation thatpromises bright
ness and beauty and joy!
So let US weary not of well-do
ing for Goldsboro; let US, rather
take a look before and after tn
past decade and a half and tax
courage of what we have az
complished and from thes
things which we have let US loo
for greater things to come
Greater Goldsboro.
We go forward.

trates on her thrice-driven bed of
down the awful truth, "Uneasy
lies the head which wears a
crown"
All honor to "The Woman
With the Hoe" for she yields a
scepter to which all other sceptres
are but straw, the sceptre whose

This sort of insanity that men
call love and women dream d.
vine is appointed for good and
therefore is eternal in the human
spirit, and of eternal interest to the
human senses. ALI men love to
talk of love, and all women love
to hear it talked. To the humblest
| toiler, bent>backed with the bure
den of the centuries and without
hope of earthly riches, to the
king, weighted with the greatness
of the ages and the splendors Of
the throne, it is alike pricelessly
precious. It is blessed comfort to
the one when the night of rest is
fallen upon the place of the poor,
and to the other in the Swallowed
chambers whence sleep is fed to
seal the eyelids of the rude ships
boy upon the dizzy mast far out
at sea. 1t brightens the curly head
of the son of want, and adds lustre
to the curly head that one day the
crown shall press. For the needles
poor slave it speeds every stitch
and softens with a tender grace
eyery heart beat at dewy morn
and in the weary twilight,
Even so, it sets bounding the
soul of plenty's fair daughter,
slave Of pleasures, swinging upon
the gate and listening to the wor-
shippers story with the mock
birds notes between the phrases
of fidelity, the while starbeams
kiss the brow that awaits an
other greeting, and when beauty
! lays her down upon perfumed
couch, sweetly resting place OF
innocence, love shapes the drap-
cries and soothes to dreamful
slumber of bliss through which
} tiptoe the angels of nameless
hopes and promises. Such as
. these love touches and glorifes
and so love marks all the children
of earth, from the marshland Of
/ toll to the summit whereon is
builded the palace of plenty fol
the playfellows of pleasure.

but it has achieved a nobler pur-
pose. It has girdled the globe
