rTIS lust nine years ago, dear B,,ss.
When, IN the morning of our life,
We took our vows of faithful love,
Ard YOU became my trusting wife.
Twas ON a fair and dewy nom,
With earnest face, and hand in hand,
Our lifelong journey we commenced,
Hoping TO oh the heavenly land. :.
A rsugh and thomy way il is
We've journed these few fleeing years,
Yet flowers have bloomed along our path,
And faith has banished all our fears;
AND a lIfe's trials we have been
Zach others confidence and stay,
And love has lightened every step,
Ana cheered as on our destined way.
Rich Tnercies has our Father sent,
TO crown and bless our earthly lot,
Aud many tokens of His love,
That ne'er by US shall be forget;
And not the least of these, dsar Bess,
Are all our precious Cherubs, four,
The innocent and happy group
That play around our cottage-dooT.
How oft-returning from the world.
To find our home our blest retreat
Their merry voices greet my ear,
And tTamping sounds of little feet;
The baby lifts his tiny hands,
And chambers up his fathers knee,
And the glad shout that "papa's come"
Fills the whole house with noise and gle
Your friendly hand is clasped in mine.
Your kiss of welcome makes me best,
And in the radiance Of your smile
fluid my happiness, my rest,
oh, Joyous hours when can sit
With YOU, my gentle wife. apart.
And feel your deep, cOnfiding love
Twinlng Its tendIills round my heart.
How oft, beneath The spreading elm
That casts It's shade around cur door.
We've sat, upon a summers eve,
And viewed the smiling landscape DER;
And from the setting sun have seen
A golden light spread DER the west,
That Imaged To the eye of faith
Tine region OF eternal rest!
When We have Teached that heavenly land,
= here all our best affections tend,
ON dreams OF life will then be past,
,itr toiSome journey at its end,
There we shall rise tn endless youth.
There faith itsef be lost in sight.
aud guardian angels lead us through
The realms Of glory and OF light.

Aud tender care are over all,
Pc serv6'us from temptations power.
Nor let vs. into danger fail,
Help us to keep thy holy charge
Which in Thy mercy Thou hast given,
Md lead US in the perfect way
That brings Us all 10 Thee in heaven.
