Our Silver Wedding.

| Der OF our friends assembled TO COngratu-
late the writer and his wife upon the
twcnty-fifih anniversary of their marriage.
70 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 dca,
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 impressivcness of his
eloquent and touching remarks. Reader,
have you ever experienced that indescrib-
able condition where the tullncss of heart
felt gratitude stayed the lips from utter
ance? If SO, then our situation can be
appreciated. The scene, the cherished
gifts glittcring 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 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 magniti-
cent demonstration.
Friends accept our assurance, that your
kind and unmerited mementocs will fur
nish happy souveniors of your respect and
we'll 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 life of twenty five years without de-
sire for a change or 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.
