 ' H''r Drother i'd sister. I've come to the sight a, nu' maven Y .uch silver to give you tonight, i nouSn SHY 1T be scarce, good wishes are free, Ana the'e are the treasures you Il receive from me I"enT y-fve years have rolled on in their round. l olnc,1 you two together in wedlock were bound. AZ the same time two others gave mutual consent } To be made husband and wife by Rev. I. Lent. And this was not all for a table was spread In mothers long kitchen, tho rot filled with bread Your journey in life has rough points, and smooth Your cup contains sorrow, but is filled mp with love l You've watched o'er your children with fond par | ent's care.
 In their joys and their sorrows your hearts find share
 There is wealth in your house, and blessings un- Which are far better to you than silver or gold. For gold will soon tarnsh, but true love will not fade.
 So walk hand in hand till you pass through the shade,
 And God will be waiting to welcome you OCT, Where earth's gaudY treasurers are sought for no
 more.
 Oh, do not grow weary faint by the way, But be ever faithful Gods word to obey. Twill guide you, twill lead you to that happier
 home,
 Where sickness, and sorrow and tears never come. There true joys await you that evergreen shore, Where you'll clasp the glad hands of those gone before,
 Then be not discouraged, but press on your way, In holy submission Gods will to obey. If sickness Gertakes you; death enters your door, You'll be ready and willing to be waited OCT. Where angels will greet you, all radiant and bright And the Savior will meet you with smile of de- light.
 We thank you kind friends for your presents to-
 night,
 To hear the best wishes of NANCY A. WRIGHT
