Silver Wedding.

On Friday evening last the friends of J. f.
Ward and wife, to the number of about eighty,
assembled at their residence on School street,
to celebrate the 25th anniversary oftheir mar
rage. The house was tastefully decorated
with flowers. A table in the dining-room
was laden with presents from friends. Mr..
Wards gift to his wife was an elegant gold
watch and chain. In behalf of the company
Rev. w. NJ. Sterling, in a few appropriate
words, asked the acceptance of the testi-
monials of esteem. Mr.. Ward made a
few remarks and then called upon Rev.
E. H. w. Smith who responded for
him. Miss Olive Dana then read the beauti-
full poem which we publish below. Prayer
was offered by Rev. Mr.. Sterling. Afterwards
ice cream, lemonade and cake were passed
around in abundance. Mr.. Scott Simpson,
son-in-law of the happy couple. and wife, of
Portland, were present. The occasion was
very pleasant, and will long be remembered
by all who participated in it.
THE FLIGHT OF YEARS.
To bring the Summer time
The Spring days fly;
To reach the Harvest months
Goes Summer by.
To the Past ever Aies
The Present sweet;
We welcome II to watch
Its swift retreat.
So go the days and months,
And years. at last,
Eude our slow pursuit
And join the Past.
So quickly go they by,
Their JOY and pain
Were brief did not the heart
Their form retain.
Such mingled memories
OF many years.
With thoughts which bring at once
Both smiles and tears
Among their friends tonight,
Our friends recall:
Tracing their onward path
Among them all
Much in the wears has been
OF hal piness.-
And g,iei has brought to them
Its bitterness,
As swiftly went from them
One held most dear.
The eldest child. whose face
They see hot here.
And from thei sight have gone
Beloved ones
Who filed their youthful lives
In earlier homes.
Brothers and sisters dear
Have LEFT their side.
And thoughts of these tonight
Swell memorys tide.
But where grief comes. deep faith
And trust may come,
With gratitude for those
Still called their own.
And through the various change
Remembered now,
Ran many joys unchanged
With even flow.
And less has gone from them
Than has remained:
Within their hearts and lives
Are still retained
OF joy and blessing more

will the Grant republicans of Maryland work
with a will for Garfield's election, but that
numerous accessions to the republican ranks

the democratic ranks. Among those who
have come out for Garfield are Col Edwin
II. Webster, collector of the port of Balti-
more during President Johnson's admiDistra-
ton, and Frederick Stone, formerly represen-
tative in Congress from the fifth Maryland
district. Both these men are thoroughly
disrusted with democratic management, and
have declared unequivocally Tor Garfield.

1T is true that considerable
amount of money has been SUBJ
sceibed for use in pensiOning ex-
Presidents, and it is also true that
the individual subscriptions are
large, and made by men who could
make them five times as large with
out cramping themselves; and, too,
it is quite true that the scheme has
not been popular one so far as the
general public is concerned. 1t
smacks too much of customs which
royalty fondly o,ings to. In view
of this, would it not be wise to use
the sum raised in hunting down and
Furnishing the innumerable pack OF

man who becomes President, from
the hour of his nomination up to
the hour of his stepping aside to
give place TO bis successor. The
general public would take lively
interest in q movement to raise
money for such purpose. But the
general public will never cooperate
in an effort to pension a man who
in four years is paid, as salary, by
the general public, the handsome
sum of 100000,
