On Frday evening at the usual hour Of
the S S. Teachers Meeting, the minister
aud bis wife were surprised by an extra
ordinary accession to the usual gathering
some city ladies and gentlemen entering
and filling lhe parlor Cordial greetings
having been exchanged one Of the
ladies approached the siEcred PAIR and
after beautiful little speech, presented
an elegant silver butter dish filled with
a solid article neatly sliced foru-c, hand
somcly stamped with patriotic symbols,
but evidently obtained at a price which
could not be afforded In a country par
sonage moro than once in a quarter Of It
century. This demonstration on the part
of the people was peculiarly well-timed,
graceful aud acceptable and elected the
free acknow lcdgmont on the part Of the
pastor that, as they had done so little for
fifteen years to silver his head they were
now acting quite in character so freely to
silver his pocket,
Among the very gratifying incidents
of this domestic jubilee week was the
reception Of repeated and liberal gifts
from the pen aud purse Of Rev. Dr.. and
Mrs. Preatiss, who are not less exemplary
and liberal as temporary Pensioners,
than they are themselves loved and hon-
ored IN their own peculiarly successful
pastoral relations.
IN the following lines were pleasantly
conveyed some Of the cordial good wishes
which were accompanied by most sub
stanlial means for their lulfilment.
Dear Friends:
we wish sou five and twenty
Good years to como Of peace and plenty
May every coed on which You thrive
by twenty five bo multiplied.
May every single cent you touch
Grow Gfc aud twenty times as much.
Blcst be your basket aud your store,
just f,c times i've, not iese, not more,
Aud where orc guardian angel stood
To help You, bless You, do yon good,
May th6rg spring mp, ia ranks alive,
10 fair round numbers, fyo times five.
May you for every care and pain
Straight five and twenty blessings gain
For every hour Of fear and dread
Twenty five hairs adorn each head,
And every pound Of flesh you've lost
ne promptly paid f1r, not at cost.
Bul some o'er.burdencd witch deprive
OF nothing less than twenty-five.
This work, tit Is braycly done,
May make y0n each weigh half ton.
But what OF that
When our flouds we bless,
We Say, "llay your shadow
Never grow less !"
-Ofall the beautiful roads surround

leads from Dwight Sykes residence to
East Rupert mill 1t well deserves its
