The following poem was composed

anniversary wedding of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. P. Grant:
Side by SIDE along lfe's journey.
You have cleaned both homes and fears:
You have loved and you have cherished
Through these two and thirty years.
You have had your lights and shadows
Memories, too, that time endears-
Clouds and sunshine cfttimes mingling
Through these two and thirty years.
Tender ties to you are portioned,
Loving links your spirits bndi
Cares you've had, like all earth's chosen,
Yet your clouds silver-lined!
Yes because you've walked together,
Still are walking side by side:
Down the slope of life you're gazing,
| And beyond-the rivers tide.
Angels there await your coming
| There with little hands outspread-
Fathert MotherI this fond meeting
Will repay the tears you've she'd
Many morn has tipped the hilltops,
Many June has smiled as bright,
Still TO you fond memory pausing
Bids you look with sweet delight
Bids you turn with tender feelings
| Backwards as each day endears,
From that morning till this MONDAY
| Of these two and thirty years.
Friends may wish you earthly blessings,
All that satisfies and cheers,
| Still to God you turn and thank HIM
For these two and thirty years.
Down the shady side you'll wander
While your pulses calmer beat;
Rest awhile beside still waters
From the burden and the heat;
While for other hands fulfilling
All your own have failed to do
Rendering back your care in payment
Each fond son and daughter true.
Then may sunshine light the distance
Till the face of Heaven be seem
Evry pleasant hour together
Fer be clothed with living green
West Charleston.
