Der Of our friends assembled to congratu.
late the writer and his wife upon the
twcnty-titth Anniversary Of their marriage
To say that the occasion was one of great
pleasure to us, is but feeble assertion Of
the feelings experienced and aroused by
the unexpected demonstration and val
liable presentation made by so many dear
and respected friends. The gifts, numer,
Gus and rendered doubly valuable by their
source and occasion, were formally present
ed by DR.. Taylor, whose venerable appear,
ance added to the impressiveneas of his
eloquent and touching remarks. Reader,
have you ever experienced that indescrib-
able condition where the tullncss ofheart-
felt gratitude stayed the lips from utter
ance? If SO, then our situation can be
appreciated. The scene, the cherished
gifts glittering in the brightness, the
crowded rooms, the impressive and appro-
pirate words of the Dr., and the mental
glance back down to the day when the
recipients pledged their affection a quarter
of a century before, the feeling of graft
tude and thankfulness, all combined to
render us unable to appropriately manifest
in words our appreciation of the magnif-
cent demonstration
Friends, accept our assurance, that your
kind and unmerited mementoes will fur
nish happy souveniors of your respect and
well wishes. Would that it may be in our
power to reciprocate, if not in same, in
like. The companion who has so faith
fully and patiently walked hand in hand
since the two were made one," Join
heartily in this feeble tribute, and may
you all be spared to score the same record
of a life of twenty -ivc years without de-
sire for a change or a regret Of your
choice, and without the shadow of the
angel of death having crossed your TIRES
hold. That the same Providence that so
favored us may bless You all is our hope
and prayer
