This is indeed a world of rush and bustle. Time and tide wait for no man. if you grow weary in the endless race, and fall down, the man behind you will, trample you to' earth and the on- smrd rush of humanity will follow suit; thus in less time than it takes to tell, it you are forgotten; for what? Man has not time to ask that question. He rushes madly on. and on, in the terrific pursuit of progress. The demise of his Ellowmau is momentarily considered 211115th doleful'subject of death is cast aside for future reflection by this ambi- uious human .mo'rsel. . And\ it is in this very mad rush that irreparable deeds are committed by these who have not time to refleCt. IThe dispoiling of nature in its most gorious wealth of beauty is not the least of the blind folly practiced by Elle progressive fiend. I read with unutterable regret of the demolishing of the 'palisade's. It is a aadspectacla and. a sinister shame. Th‘ére is no time for tender thoughts cor—delving after the sweet things in life. Thereisno timefor the admira- tion or consideration Of any onevthing. Why‘did the C1 eator place upon this mundane sphere such beauties as the gallsades, the river, t1 ees 01' flowers which he in his magnificent majesty conceived as the grandest and most hi'Eliant Splendor? Why did he con- descend to place them for an unappre- ciative people? . The destruction of the palisades on‘ our scenic Hudson is nothing more nor less than a‘ crime. But the feeble cry of a few against the multitude who have no eyes for nature‘s beauty is a useless one. The rampart of pales along the beautiful Hudson at e to be cut down to be used as paving stones in the sheets of the Greater New York. And slowly, one by one, are the natural graces being eifaced from the eastern p01 man of our country, and we shall soon have noth- ing to rest o'ur t11 ed stone- -bu1ned eyes upon. And here in Norwalk on a lesser male is..the work of the dispoiler going on. An instance of it can be cited in the much debated question of the cut- ting down of the trees in South. Main street. Why should there need to be any such. question to the soulful man? ‘ Why has not the love of nature and the admiration for the beautiful, been in- senlcated in the mind of youth? ' It should be. It is high time to call ahalt in the ruthless and-wanton trade of the dispoiler. South Wilton, Conn. THE’ EVENIINI GAZETTE W‘- __._. they would just revel in fictitious mis- in tune in order to make life more intei esting. A p1etty girl says the power of the press is usually waist- ed. The dollar you pay back looks twice as large as the one you borrowed. Ice cream is always served for des- sert after the cold wave has set in. W’hen the pianist makes the instru- ment fairly talk it is called a piano recital. The man who says he can marry any girl he pleases is seldom able to please one. Even intellectual women have an idea that a thermometer helps keep a l‘OOIIl warm. Love is a chain that holds two hearts together, but it doesn’t always hold the dog. . What a happy world this would be if we could only see others as we see our selves. Rare Business Opportunity.
