HALF A CENTURY OF MARRIED
LIFE.-On Thursday last, the 9th
of this month, the Hon. Charles j.
Faulkner and his estimable wife,
Mrs. Mary w. Faulkner, passed the
50th anniversary of their marriage.
No notice was given of the day-no
invitations were extended even to
the family; and no unusual prepar-
alton marked the occasion at Boyd
vile, nevertheless all the children
and grandchildren who happened
to be in our city, assembled and spent
the day pleasantly and quietly at the
old domicil.
Notwithstanding the silence OBJ
served in regard to the occasion, the
Geographic messengers were busy
all day in carrying messages of con-
graduation from the neighboring
States, and the most beautiful flow
ers were forwarded by express.
Few married lives have been spent
more happily and prosperously than
the couple above referred to. Mr..
and Mrs. Faulkner are now in the
enjoyment of strong, hale and Wig
orous health they have had eight
children. all now married and settled
in life, and not death has occurred
in their immediate family during
the half century of their marriage.

After Twenty Years.
BY E. j. NJ.

She was c1rate's daughter,
A wandering artist he
She lived in lonely village
By the bleak and desolate sea.
But her hair was flash of sunshine,
And the blue of the northern skies
Had soughta beautiful shelter
In the depths Of her childish eyes.
And he loved her, oh, SO dearly
That once when the golden corn
Swaysd meath the breezy kisses
Blown from the lips of morn,
He laid his heart before her,
And asked her TO fly with him
From the cowslip covered meadows
To the city gaunt and grim.
He said that the world wound cr5wn
him
With fame in years to come
Would they tread life's path together ?
She listened and murmured: "a m
