Tn Iay was tiue, and the occasion was
one of uuusu. i .i.t.saat end enjoyment.
The request of Mr.. and Mrs. Adams was
that no presents should be brought to
them and that no attempt should be made
to repeat "a form of marriage ceremony.
TIL latter request was needed, but the
tru@ affection and noble generosity Of
children add rai.tious overpowered all
circumstances, and, ~ by magic, the pres-
ent. appeared in the house--two large !
easy chairs, gold btnd, French chin,
tea sctt, n very nice gold headed cane,
gold pen and pencil, gold lined salts, some
gold ornaments aud various articles of
silverw ne, pictures, etc package
WITS found in the depot which contained
IA largo framed engraving Of ''Landing Of
the PI,yriins.' book entitled THE Pill |
grim" by Russell; two card photographs
of Plymouth scenery
Accompanying the package wa a beau
tifuf note Of remembrance from thee sis
tcrs, Maria d. Raunoy, C1rnelia f. An
drew@, and HELEN NJ. Johnson, Of Ply |
mouth, daughters Of old and cherished
friends rf Mr. aud Mrs. A1am-, who have
s'pa7.ed beyond the river"
Wien the company were all present,
aud the happy greetings were passed, and
the meeting Of heart TO heart and hand to
hand had been silently cement,d by
tears OF thanksgiving to God for ~ happy
"A moment, procession was formed and
marched to the table, which was boupti-
fully lnadcd with retire ,hments. and fruits
Of every kind. INSTEAD Of five loaves"
for the multitude, they were all filled.
and not less than five baskets full were
lett.
After refresh ments had boen served, the
company repaired to the parlors, and
prayer was offered up by Rev. Moses
,iar,ton. Then followed some congratu
atory remarks by Samuel L. Adams, old
,,t son, Hon Calvin French, and Rev
" oses Marston.
A hymn written for similar occasion,
was then sung to the tune of "Auld Lang
Syne," led by the heavy bass voice of the
Venerable Samuel Adams and his son,
samuel l.. Adams.
The Oldest man present was cod Fa'her Ill.,"
lis name was then spoken and called with will,
,oon nc lrne forward and stood in the middle,
Aud 10 and behold ! ne held his old fiddle.
10 sooner than thought the music ~as going,
And all eyes from ono to another We're hrowin8,
70 zee who were loosing 70 splendid chance
If Joining at once in so anci, mt a.dance.
Aunt Sayah was first to lead on the van,
An up jumped Friend aud said, III be your
man;
Then Newman, the youngest, led up on the floor,
VI ,rind,, the Aunt, to complete the French
four"
Very soon the tune changed, twas thought as a
joke-a,
And in rushed the young folks dancing Polka,
Then said the Friend III still be your man,
