the occasion, was written by their eldest son,
Frank B. Sellers, and follows:
There's an old and henored LON
Sprung from dim antiquity,
That the iftieth years the golden
And the year OF jubilee.
Fifty years are passed and numbered
On the register of time,
And the wedding bells that slumbered
Wake anew tine marriage chime.
o. to grace you're heavy debtors
For life Of Joy like this,
Fifty years IN golden fetters,
Fifty years Of welded bliss.
Crown the festive board with cladne.s
Let each heart from care be free;
Hymen builds anew his altar
And demands d golden fee.
Age may dim the brightest vision,
Furrow deep the fairest brow;
But the heart is young forevei
That retains loves sacred VOW.
Looking backward o'er Iife's pathway,
Where your weary feet have trod,
Re it your rich consolation
That it leadeth up 10 God.
Looking forward where the sunlight
Sets the soul forever free,
MAY all at last be gathered
Safe in Gods eternity.
Honored parents. to this altar
Gifts of gold we gladly bring,
For our love both true and tender
Binds as doth the wedding ring.
So we hail the good old custom,
Sprung from dim antiquity;
We will make this fiftieth golden
And our year of jubilee.
