SILVER WEDDING.

ED. TRUE NoRrHERNEh;
For the past few days we have been in
dulging in some "reminiscences, which were
prompted by meeting friends OF twenty-five
wears ago at the residence of G. b. Palmer
and lady, in Almena, on Christmas day, Tor
the purpose Of celebrating their twenty-ffth
wedding anniversary. The day WAS very fine,
and brought together about one hundred OF the
it many friends OF tho happy bride and groom
OF twenty-five years ago; and each OF the few
that were present at their marriage had some
recollection OF past events to narrate, which
brought to mind many OF the pleasant memo
ries OF a quarter OF . century, to be lived over
in a day, and none seemed to enjoy themselves
better than mine host and hostess, who were
apparently az young as when they stood at the
altar of Hymen and plighted their vows or
love to each other. At that time there we're
about fifty guests present, but Time with its
ruthless hand had wrought such changes that
only about twenty-five OF the original number
were within reach OF an invitation now, twenty
two of whom responded. Some OF the remain
ing number had removed to distant locallties,
while the greater portion OF them have gone
to that "better land" where, we are told, they
neither marryinor are given IN marriage, but
where

Never more to wa alone,
In tho dawning Of the morning,
When the mists have rolled away,
thus reminding us OF the mobility of human
hfe
The Rev. Mr. Wilcox, formerly Pastor OF tue
Christian church Of Paw Paw was present aud
made some pertinent remarks, complimentlng
the happy pair on the perpetuity OF their social
relations, in this age, when 30 many were re-
garding the marriage vow 30 lightly. About
one o'clock dinner was announced, when we
we're shown to table laden with all OF the
substantial and delicate vIands that the most
fastidous eplcure could desire, which Mrs.
Palmer knows 80 we'll how to prepare, and over
which their sons and daughter presided with 80
much credit to themselves. There we're pres
ents of slver-ware amounting to over forty
dollars, for which Mr., Palmer kindly thanked
the friends In few touching and appropriate
remarks. In the evening there was an addition
Of over twenty to the company that had been
there during the day, and they passed the time
very pleasantly into tho "small hours OF the
night" The company was highly entertained
with music on the piano and violin, as well as
vocal music by the younger members Of their
own and d. Downings family.
The visit was enjoyed very much by both old
and young, there being no restraint on account
OF the difference in the ages of those present.
Every one went away feeling that they hae had
a good time, and they all voted that If any one
wanted to have jolly, soc!ai tune, there was
no better place TO go than to call on Mr.. aud
