present 4, absent 10; making the fam

The company would have been lar

the time. Still the occasion was one
of great interest and profit to all pres
ent. The arrangements for refresh
ments were abundant. Dinner over,
the afternoon was spent in social i'm
tercoursa, singing and speaking. 1t
was interesting to hear the old gentle
man speak on the review of his past
life. Among other things said. IN
reference to his children becoming
pio1s, that lie had thought it would
be impossible for children who had
enjoyed the counsel and prayers of
such mother as they had, to miss the
right way. To look upon such q
scene. A father surrounded by so
numerous family, in the enjoyment
Of the blessings of Our holy religion.
We may well say in the language of
the Bible: San hoary head is a crown
Of glory when found i'm the way of
Righteousness. Addresses were deliy-
cred by Rev's. Harris, Carnine and
Bellamy; after which the aged sire
and his companion gave their counsel
and blessing to each member of the
family in turn. May they enjoy re-
union in the realms above, and find no
wanderer lost--a whole family in
