EVE’S RAMBLINGS.
SUMMENT AND, GOSSIP AMONG

Blessed Eve, who didn’t have any
neighbors! That sounds, perhaps, a
trifle harsh, particularly when one
takes Into consideiation the mutual
dependence that is perforce a funda-
mental principle of life, and also when
through rosy-hued glasses we view the
beneficial resu\lIts accruing from genu-
ine neighborliness.
To. the first exclamation, however,
matality stubbornly sticks, and to
prone the why and wherefore of it,
apnoeess always in demand, the pen
wanders naturally but judiciously from
seasons running from A to Z, 'a'n‘yi'0ne
oiwhich substantiates the- statement
that Em was blessed in not having any
neighbors. There is no doubt but

Secial mtercourse deserves all the
praise and attention it receives. It
stimulates the intellect, it spurs faded
brains to fresh activity, it lifts one out
of the rut of sameness on to the plane
mi deversified sentiment and acts like
veritable tonic bOth to mind and body
at times. ’
But, alas, there are times when it
acts in quite the reverse style, and
then' 1s when the heart craves quietude.

The magic circle of exclusiven‘ess is
bound in the end to shut out more un-
pleasantness than the open door and
tead y latchstring of too great intimacy
uhich so often, alas, leads us finally to
the conclusion that Eve was the =most
blessed among w‘omen, simply because
shedidn’t have any neighbors.

OBITUARY.
AMBROSE WHITE.
The death ofAmbroseWhite,at a New
York hospital on Friday last from an
operation fOr appendicitis, has cast a
gloom over the entire community.
Eighteen years of age, of fine family,
good health, and apparently with
every prospect for a long and useful
life, he was called away with appalling
suddeness, that can well cause us to
ieflect on the uncertainty of this mor-
111 life. - '
He was born at the family homestead.
at Cannon and was the son of the late
Major Charles White for many years a
surgeon in the U. S. Army. While a
pupil at the Wilton Academy he showed.
extraordinary abilities as a student,
and during the past year at a Norwalk
Academy had completed the stud1es
preparatory to a cOllIIege course, and
expected to enter Yale the coming year.
He had apparently been in his usual
health until five days before his death
when he was taken suddenly ill I.IwiIIthI
’what rapidly developed. into Iappen-
dieitis, and on Wednesday his sendi-
was deemed advisable to remove him to.
hospital, was apparently sucCesSful'
until Friday morning, When he grew ‘
rapidly worse, and passed away about
midnight, Conscious to the last and
able to bid good-bye to his I'm-other,
sisters and. brother, who had been
summoned to his bedside.
The funeral services were held from
St. Matthew’s church on Monday after-
noon, the rector, and Rev.‘ Charles M.
Selleck, officiating. The crowded Con-
dition of the church conveyed to the
borrowing family a part of the deep
sympathy felt for them In this sad
time.
Some malicious persons, have "been
engaged in taking plants and flowers
from St. Matthew’s cemetary, and from
the grounds Of the réctory. The stat-
utes of the state provide a severe pen-
alty for such desecration of burial
places. A heavy fine or imprisonment
or both awaits the culprit when dis-
covered. '
