The Golden Wedding of Mr. and Mrs. w.
D. Little.

There have seldom been many happier oc-
casions in this city, than the observance of the
golden wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. D. Lit
tie at their residence on Pearl street last even
ing. All publicity concerning the gathering
was avoided, that it might partake more OF the
nature of q surprise, and in this, the whole
affair was very successful. The children OF
the revered couple residing out of the city
and state arrived yesterday with their families,
and their presence was only made known early
last evening, when they filled the old home
stead with a happy and joyful company OF
the family the sever children and eight of the
ten grand children were present, while the
great grand-child, the diamond of the family
jewels, was unavodably absent Among the
guests were Rev. DR.. Carruthers Mr.. and Mrs.
w. S. Dana, the Misses and Mrs. Howe, Mrs
DIR. Brooks, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Dickinson,
Mr. j. III. Coffin, Mr.. and Mrs. Gould, Mr.. r
j. Howard of Boston, and other intimate
friends. The presents were many and costly,
being mostly the gifts of the children and
grandchildren of the honored couple. Many
of the floral tributes were exceedingly beauti-
full, a large wreath being exceptionally SO.
After very social collation., the following
poem by Mrs j. w. Stevenson Miss Hattie
Little) was read, and in itself is worthy
tribute:
Father and mother dear,
We gather round you here,
To honor pay.
For all your virtues great,
Your love commemorate,
And join to celebrate
Your wedding day.
Full fifty years have flown
Since you began, as one,
LIES path to tread;
And as you backward gaze,
Adown the bygone days,
You see with joy and praise
How God hath led.
We see not far as you,
For there's nearer view
To chidrens sight.
But as we forward turn,
OF coming years to learn,
Our hearts within us burn
With glad delight.
The future unconfined
Faiths vision cannot bind;
We all may see
The All-wise guiding hand
That leads to Heavens land.
Where, united band
We all may be.
The party separated at a late hour amid SIN
cere and loving congratulations to the bride
and bridegroom of half a century and with the
hearty wish that it might again be assembled
under the same roof to celebrate the diamond
wedding
