January 28th, will be appreciated by al

We send you greetings at this time,
Though far away in frigid cline.
Our hearts beat warm in friendship true
For friends we love. and hence for you.
And as the years in future roll
| If you still hug the old north pole,
! Well think Of you anchored fast,
Defying snow and wintry blast.
What If the king of feecy fakes
With frosty breath locks up the lakes,
And spreads his mantle far and wide
Der hill and vale and mountain side?
What if he stops sometimes to weep
His frozen tears till ten feet deep
They hedge you all about and in?
Don't Weep with him but laugh and grin
t To think that you safe from harm,
While the wood piles high, and hearts are warm.
Thus to-day. though far away we send you greeting
: Fifteen years of smiles and tears.
OF hopes and fears. hurrahs and cheers,
Mixed up in brief with joy and grief
Thus you've journeyed on together
In sunshine bright and stormy weather;
s If clouds have crossed your path at noon,
The sunshine soon dispelled the gloom;
And on the whole we're glad to tell
t You've fought life's battle bravely and well.
j, This crystal day of welded life
Is more to husband and to wife
Because your friends all shout. Amen,
y Rejoicing that one crystal gem
At last has crowned your life's desire
And piled your comforts one peg higher
This little blessing quite complete,
With laughing eyes and lips so sweet,
cold Precious" mamma calls her boy).
Brings to your home its light and joy.
i We hope that still you may be best
IL And thus fulfill the great betest
To multiply earth lfe's joys,
By filing it with girls and boys.
l. God bless and keep you all through life
