Golden Wedding at HydeviIIe.

Christmas, in addition to its usual fss-
tlvities, gave to many of our citizens the
pleasure of attending "gelden wedding"
On the goth of December, 1891, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Dutton began their married life,
and on the afternoon and evening of the
same day, in 1871, their golden wedding
was celebrated at the house of Mr.. John
ID. Smead, whose wife was one of their
daughters. The occasion brought to-
gether their three sons, with their wives,
their three daughters, with their hus-
bands, and children's children goodly
number, besides many acquaintances
whose friendship they had secured in the
long ago. Among these were the vener-
able W. Kinney and wife, whose golden
wedding was duly honored in 1867.
Instances of this kind are SO rare that
more than brief mention may be allow
able in the columns of THE HERALD. Not
in more than one case in ten thousand
does the marriage tie continue unbroken
for fifty years. If the reader thinks this
an extravagant assertion, then say one -
a thousand. Half century! Who shall
tell it's sunshine and shsdow-its hopes
and fears it's pleasures and sorrows-lts
prosperity and adversity-its cares and
reliefs-its tolls and rests-its pain and
ease-i;s urquiet and its repose 30
many years of welded life would fill
volume with peculiar experiences, varied
incidents and precious memories, and the
whole chequered scene seems to pass In
review, when the fiftieth nuptisl anniver-
sarv comes to be observed according to
the usages of tho present day.
The aged couple expected no giits, and
were therefore sgreeably surprised to find
themselves so kindly remembered by theil
children and friends. The presents were
varied, useful and elegant, in value
amounting to over $115. Among them
appeared beautiful Bible stand, with
beautiful Family Bible splendid CAKE
basket, gold-lined; a silver cup, gold
lined large, elegantly bound photo
graph album silver butter-knife, ant
good wishes in gold, greenbacks, etc.
The reception-room was tastefully fes
tooned with evergreens, and on the wall
fronting the aged pair, was an evergreen
| wreath and chain, arching over this in
soription,lin golden letters,-"1S2l. Ou
Father and Mother. 1871" Underneatl
this were their Photographic portraits
taken fer the occasion, and rejecting
them to the life.
A little after 5 p. m. Lilly Mead,
bright and beautiful girl of thirteen sum
mers, repeated az appropriate poetic sd
dress, full of congratulations and goo
wishes to her grandparents Her par
was admirably doae. The festal boar
was then surrounded, and ample iustic
was done to the iRviting repast.
On re-assembling in the parlors, Rev
Mr.. Crosse was called upon to read an or
| gtnaI poetic produetis-, s---iahaa faE IL
occasion by lady relative in the di:
tant West, and also lines from his ow
pen.
At 8 the friends began to leave, anon
others the Hon. P. W. Hyde and wifi
and A. W. Hyde knd wife. who, at tn
house of the latter, were to enjoy a d.
lightful family gathering around richl
laden Christmas Tree. Another hour
good cheer and pleasant conversatio
brought this golden wedding to a hapT

LINES BY MISS

We give you Joy tonight, father.
And you, our mother dear,
CongIatulation, such as few
Are blest enough to hear.
For half hundred years Of life
Your ways have been but one,
And you have walked together there
In shadow and in sun.
In sunshine, radiant and fair,
As gild tie hills at dawn,
When youthful hearts gave hue to al
That youthful eyes looked on.
In shadow when the later beams
Were vailed in sombre gray,
Wnen Death, with solemn footsteps, wake
Beside you in the way.
Together you have stood beside
The little open grave
Taat he'd a treasure dear as heaven,-
Earth had no power to save.
Together, you have toi ed with care,
Not toiled for self alone;
Old age has had a generous share,
The poor your bounty known.
Together, you have 'borne the heat
And burden of the day.
Nor faltered when the sun OF noon
Poured down her tiercest ray.
Now, as the evening shadows fall,
And rest for you draws near,
You can view life without regret
N6ao4 5aa+b vui+hout a fer.
o, may God spare you long, dear ones'
To as who love you so,
Whose prosperous lives and happiness
To you we largely owe.
And when at last the summons comes
That takes you from our love,
o may it bear your w-dded souls
To golden realms above.

LINES BY REV. H L. GRosE.
Just fifty deeting years ago,
Admi ingly the bride was dressed
In raiment white as Alpine snow,
And lovingly her hand was pressed.
Just fifty feeting years ago,
In one most dear of woman-kind,
The happy Bridegroom well did know
The precious treasure he would hrd.
Just ffty fleeting years ago
They vowed to be husband and wifi,
Joining their hands for veal or woe,
And taking each other for life.
And when began their long ago,
Ne er dreamed they children glad would
come,
Beaming with true loves joyous glow,
A golden W dding to make athome.
This day begins another year
Of hopeful, happy, married life,
But what it's end, doth not appear;
PRAY. it leave them blest husband and wife
AS other years their round shall run,
And life shall gently ebb away,
May going down of earth's last sun
For them begin the endless day.

Points for Farmers.

The ARMY WoRM.-The methods of
combating the army worm may be briefly
summed up as follows
First-Burn over the meadows, especial
ly the sloughs and low grounds, in the
neighborhood of the place where the
worms stopped their devastations, and
where, of course, they went into the
ground to transform, and where the moths
must first appear. The eggs are deposited
after midsummer, and the burning may
be performed in the fall or winter, or
before the Matching of the eggs in the
spring.
Second-Fall blowing in the came situa-
tons would undoubtedly destroy most of
the eggs by burying them so deeply that
either they would not hatch, or the young
worms would starve.
Third-The progress of the worms,
when partially or fully grown, can be
checked by blowing deep burrows across
their path, and if the pains were taken
to dig under the upright side of the fur
row with spade it would make it much
more effectual.
Fourth-Hogs and poultry are fond of
them, and may be instrumental in re-
ducing their numbers.-Prairie Farmer.

Sailing Hay.

We do not commend it, or, at least, only
in moderate quantity, in extreme cases.
When our own food is too highly sailed
we reject it, or, if hungry, eat it with wry
faces and disgust.
All stock probably require a certain
amount of salt, and if left to take it as they
please it would not be much in amount
and in quite small quantities at any one
time.
apply it, the stock consuming the hay
must take three or four times as much salt
as they would if they could exercise their
own choice about it.
This course compels cattle to eat what
they dislike through several months of the
year, and it seems to us must tend to pre-
vent proper thrift, also to induce disease
in one form or another. Indeed it is stated
that whole herds are attacked with the
disease called scouTs, in consequence of
feeding continually upon hay too highly
sailed.
The haying season, with most farmers,
is a driving one, so that every eXpedient
that promises to lessen the labor and get
the crop into the barn, tempts us strongly
to adopt it.
Under this idea there is little doubt but
hundreds of tons of hay are got in not suf-
ficiently cured. "a little salt will save t."
it is said good deal is applied to it, the
cattle are forced to live upon it, and PERM
cious consequences are, sometimes at least,
the result.
1t is cheaper and in every way better to
cure the hay thoroughly i'll the first place.
1t saves the cost of the salt, secures better
fodder, and does not incur the risk of be-
getting sickness and disease in the stock
which is to be fed with it, Better pay the
money for hay caps than for salt for the
hay.-NeU England Farmer.

The Reasons for Supporting Grant, being
broken victuals warmed over from The EUes-
ina Post, continues, in the shape of a hand
bill. to circulate through the mails under the
frank OF this or that one Of Grants Congress
Corpora,s 4 copy ,. occasionally sent to us
by somebody who has received il from the
Grant Committee, and who, being disguised
with it or diverted by it, wants to find out
whether we are equally disguised or diverted.
The most important point in the document is
the announcement that the Grant administration
" has managed our Foreign affairs awkwardly"
the only encouraging thing is that " certain
mistakes are not likely to be repeated" 1t
strikes us, if we must submit to four years
more Of Grantism, interrupted by hope OF a
reelection, that this is rather cold comfort.
II does MT warm the dish up in the least,
either, to recall what The Erening Post said
of the Doctor good deal less than q hundred
wears AGO. when it told us of his Ignorance"
of "his contempt for law and decency," and
how both were becoming daily more and more
'prominent;r when taverred that " if the time
" were not so short and the vote in the Phil
"adephia Convention not already arranged,
" Gen. Grant would probably be driven out
of the canvass by the better sense
"of his own party" The Erenipg Post
was then looking for some candidate with -
character above reproach' with some . knowl-
ledge and experience of political life, without
brutal contempt for the customs, traditions,
"and feelings of other lands;" and with a
knowledge of the world enabling him Ito
distinguish between honest men and thieves y
These were the pins which The Euening Post
then stuck into the Doctor. Now it draws
them all out, kisses the wounds inflicted by
itself, publishes its ecantatiOn, and furnishes
ready made electioneering matter in behalf OF
the Doctorl Now it tells us that "Gen.
Grant at least tried when he came into
"ofice to improve the Civil Service
while "Mr. Greeley does MT know how to try.
1t is melancholy to mark this brilliant writer
thus sacrificing common sense to epigrammatlc
point. What is the difference substantially be-
tween Mr.. Grant trying and not doing it, and
Mr.. Greeley "not knowing how to tryf
Are MT things which are equal to the same
thing equal to one another7 We have tried
TO find out what mot knowing how to try
means. but we have tried in vain; only we
are satisfied that if some writers did M

"torney- General. i hope it is not because OF
"this remarkable trait of his character that 1t
sis contemplated at the other end of this Capt.
"tol to relieve him from further public service
land to drive him into private life"
There was a great TODD in the Grant camp
when Mr. Dawes made that speech. The
Household Congressmen all flew at him, and
Gen. Butler expended ever so many pages OF
The Globe in a violent attempt to prove that
two and two make three; but the statements n s
of Mr.. Dawes never were refuted; they were
strictly true of the Administration then and
they might be repeated with equal truth of the
Administration now. The increase has gone
on from year to year. BY the reduc-
ton of interest and the reduction of
the army and navy certain items of
outlay have been diminished, and Mr.. Boutwell,
has thus been enabled to make an utterly un-
warrantable pretense of economy; but the
ordinary expenses of the Government i'll 1871,
as we showed a few weeks ago in exposing
the arithmetical fallacies of the Secretary OF
the Treasury, were % per cent higher than in
1868, SO per cent higher than in 1866, and no
less than 115 per cent higher than in 1860

of Massachusetts, what he really thinks about

Office seeking spirit among the Liberals bears
any relation to the ofiice-holdiDg rage among
the Grant people.
The Senator tries hard to convince himself
that there is no Liberal movement to speak
Of He says it was considerable at one time,
but az soon as Gorham H. BoyntOn of Bangor
Joined IL everybody else left. The Senator
has large and profitable experience of Maine
politics. but we think he overstates the case
when he SAYS that the accession of Mr..
Boynton has destroyed tho party. 1t could
stand a ruder shock If Hannibal Hamn
sbould ioin it we should not give up the
canvass. In fact, the Senator admits that a
few Republicans still cling to the ruin of the
Greeley cause. "But," he observes, serenely,
1--WE do MT want them. We don't want your
"Charles Summers, nor your Carl Seizures,
"apd we don't want BanksD This Is GER
tainIy philosophical. He takes rs much COM
fort in his losses as the loafer, who, having
had his feet cut off in a saw-mill, surveyed
the severed members with contempt, and
said, I'm glad to get rid of em. TOOK all
"my money to keep em in shoes"
TIE Senator would not close without prophe-
swing and we must say we have rarely seen a
ncater specimen of such work. He felt so
happy over the thought that most of the men
of brains were out of his party that he gave
full rein to his imagination, and predicted that
Mr.. Greeley would not get a single electoral
"vote." He even described the process by which
this result was to be gained. Let Maine give
her "old-fashoned majority" let Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and Indiana, and all the other States
respond with decisive Grant rajOrities, and
the thing is done. 1t is as easy as-making
stump speeches. But we hope the Senator is
not betting his economies on that result.
Does it seem possible that adult male citi-
zens can listen to such driyel as this Only
the lifelong habit Of saying what he does not
mean, could beguile an elderly man into stand
ing up before a large number of his neighbOrs
and telling them what he and they know to be
silly and false. He says "they don't want
"Trumbull and Sumner and Schurz' when he
and his hearers know they have not left their
EQUALS in the party. He says there are no
Liberals in Maine, when he knows there are
many. He says Mr.. Greeley will not get an
electoral vote, when he knows he is MORALLY
afraid he will get more than Gen. Grant.
