WEDDINGS.
THE FIFTH ANNIVERSARY.
That weddings arc not unfrequently tho
natural result Of social gatherings, we think may
be readily conceded. Whether they had the
came tendency half century ago We cannot
eay, but in I'll probability they did, Us human na-
ture is apt to be the same, and changes little
either with time or country. However that may
BE-, re must concode tho first place in our
columns to the record Of golden wedding which
took place last week, So seldom do even sllver-
marriage chimes ring out In these degenerate
days, that ne pause to note them, but when the
golden bell sounds the joyous peal Of half cen
tury of welded life, 1t bids us pause in wonder.
Such golden peal chimed last week for tho
hftieth wedding Anniversary Of Afr. and Mrs.
Charles knight, Of South Wood street. Healtbs
were drank, speeches made, and songs sung, all
appropriate to tho occasion. Alfred j. Knight,
g son OF the hosts, who is quite woll known to
Chicagoanx rs Shakspea1ean reader, entertained
the guests with selections from "The Gilded
Age" There we're many and valuable presents,
and the guests all hoped they might yet con-
gratulate their hosts twenty-five years hence.
when the most precious OF jewels il considered
the appropriate gift for day which must indeed
Shine like precious gem in = heightened ci1clet
Of years.
