or blush, the horizon Of the future

copal Church of that place. Six
children have blessed, this marriage,
JAIL of whom are living to gather
around the family hearthstone. Six
years ago Mr.. and Mrs Minturn.came
to st. Joseph and made their home
in our midst. They received hear
ty welcome, and from the time of
their arrival have steadily made
friends in our city. Quiet and un-
assuming, kindly and generous, their
walk and conversation in life has
been that of those who remember
and carry out the commandment:
"Whatsoever ye would that men
should do unto You do ye even so un-
to them" : ."
Last evening the many friends of
Mr.. and MIS-. Minturn concluded to
give them a .romindcr of the fact that
they had been married Il quarter of
century; and at an early hour the
family residence on Prospect Hill
was crowded to overAowing. The
reception .wasin the same. kindly
spirit in which the visit was' made,

After Mr.. and Mrs. Minturn had
been reunited in marriage by Dr.
Runcie, and had promised faithfully
to live together as happily in the
next quarter of a century as they had
in the past, the guests sat down to a
supper that was perfect marvel of
elegance and taste. A magnificent
pyramid crowned the centre of the
table, Aankcd on both sides by fruit
cakes, and marble cakes, and every
kind of cake that could be thought of,
while substantials and dclicacies
without limit were sandwichcd in
between so tastily and attractively
that the dainticst cpicure would have
been tempted to partake. The dis
cussion of this rich and bounteous re-
past occupied an hour.
The presents were the most costly
we have ever seen at any silver we'd
ding in this city, PromincntNmong
them was an immense silver tray,
