AN OLD wirE's STORY.
My lover and | are 90 and 81 years old;
We are ancient sweethearts. As the years
roll on the affection born in our youth
is condensed-sironger, deeper, wider,
higher, more sanctiied. We married
thirty eight years ago. Now, with my
/ and on my heart, | swear my dear hus-
band has never failed in fidelity and de-
votion 10 me; in our married life no
doubt has ever assailed either; our trust
is iuiinte. In youth children came
gIpddening our life and home-sweet,
precious children, cementing our alice

and hair gray our hearts are us loving
and tender as when bride and BRIDE

Mr. A. married me when l was
