 HOLLAND.
 GOLDEN WEDDING GREETING. To MT. and Mrs. Lucius S. Fuller, Holland, Conn.,, July 4, 1888.
 Swiftly have passed these fifty years,
 And at their close we meet in love To thank the Lord for mercies past,
 To ask for blessings from above. In looking back, what do we see?
 The changes common to us all, On all things written in this life,
 On old and young alike they fall What has it been? time of loss?
 Why, youth hath taken wings and fed ~ But not regretted for wreath Of wisdom crowns each frosted head. And has it been time of gain?
 We have of love a great increase, Children, grand children, many friends The love of God shall never cease. It may have been time of toil?
 An, we have found a service sweet To do to others as we would
 It led us on with tireless feet. Perchance you've found life of pain
 We've not escaped, but had our share To teach us patience, and to prove
 An ever tender Fathers care. Alas you may have had some grief?
 We've stood by graves of those we love, But there was always this fond hope,
 That they had gained the rest above. These years have gone nov others come,
 Oh, tell us not what they shall be. In faith we walk adown the slope,
 Trusting in God we'll wait and see. Yes, wait and see, secure in this,
 That nothing comes but by Gods will, And be it gain, or loss, or grief,
 His presence is about you still. And may your lives still sweeter grow,
 Your bright old age be ever green, For seventy, when it is sweet,
 Is sweeter far than seventeen.
 Affectionatey, ANNIE A. PRESTON
