A Wooden Wedding.

A number of the friends of Mr..
and Mrs. Martin Huntley made them
a call last Saturday evening, which,
by the way, was the fifth anniversary
of the marriage of this worthy couple.
The occasion was a very pleasant one
and much enjoyed by all parties to it..
A friend with a poetical turn sends us
the following descriptive of the event :
Who cares for the news of that wooden we'd.
ding?
How five years ago there was beheading,
How the Rabbit was dropped when they were
united,
When the VOWS of Martin and Eta were
plighted.
Well read it or not It's nothing to me,
OF little and great, there We're forty and
three,
Who showed them their faces, each wreathed
in smile,
With feting and feasting the hours to beguile
OF pic, seven kinds their table did cumber;
There was joy in the pastry, luck in thu
number.
A sofa was brought, guess for the bride;
May 1t do her much good when she's wear,
and tired
But Mart had chair for resting his body,
And seventeen dimes for tobacco and toddy
God keep them and bless them in basket an,
store,
For forty five years and we'll zee them ono
more.
