glshman, an Irish nan, and Scotchman

they could each choose tree on which they
would like TO he "strung up" The Scotch
man promptly choose an ash tree, and the
Englishman an oak tree. "Wcll, Pat,
what will you be hung on" asked the
Judge. eff it please your honor, I'd
rather be hung on a gooseberry bush. +"
"Oh," said the Judge, "thats not big
enough" "Begorry, then," replied Pat.

TuE SILVER WEDDING.

Did you think could forget it,
Five and twenty years agone,
On beautiful May morning,
Flowers were blooming on the lawn?
My heart was filled with gladness,
And my cheeks were flushed with pride,
While waited for your coming
was soon to be bride.
Five and twenty years, my darling
Since that morn have passed away,
Let us count them, looking backward,
Till we reach our wedding day.
Do you see the sun above us,
And the blue and cloudless sky.
And remember how that morning,
We were happy. you and l?
Do you see the low-roofed dwelling,
With its white and shining floor
And the hown logs matched so nicely,
And the rose tree by the door?
And the wedding guests, see them
Through the five and twenty years,
Sitting quietly around us,
Smiling fondly through their tears.
They were only those who loved us, ..
AS we stood there. you and 1.
Looking forward to the future,
Through n clear and cloudless sky.
All, to-day in looking backward,
/ can see you standing there.
In your pride of youthful manhood,
With your brow unmarked by care.
And stood that day beside you,
In my robe of simple white,
Without jems or costly jewels,
Flashing in the me rning light,
just loving heart gave You,
AS our hands were clasped that day,
With no cloud upon our future
Only sunshine in our way.
Five and twenty years, my darling,
Through the sunshine and the shade
We have walked beside each other,
In the path our love has made.
But the clouds have gathered Ger us,
Drifting down the stream of life,
And our hearts have throbbed with sorrow,
Since you claimed me as your wife.
But tonight in looking backward,
Looking backward all the way,
Through the clouds, storms and sunshine,
That have gathered since that day,
There is more of good than evil,
Though our feet have tired grown.
Five and twenty years, my darling,
Since our wedding day have flown.

Covered with chagrin at the unhappy
