rho story of the years, with their laughter
and their tears,
That since this twain were wee, nave hoWn
as swallows fit
+ surely were not well for a strangers
rs dIad scenes and its sad scenes are
themes for kinsmen fit.
Yet in presence of this pair, ! hardly can
IN fancy. to review those long departed
days,
When one pair of runners bore to another
farm house door,
The family that gathers here in several
different sleighs.
As one great surge at sea is kind of sire
rO-be
Of many lesser surges that beat upon the
shore,
As oaks from acorns grow, as streams
from fountains flow,
That act produced crop of Thornes, and
one hat Berrys bore.
II was winter, wild without, but in vain
the blast might tiout,
Or the skies might scowl and pout, to dis
turb the new made nest.
Though the breath abroad was rude, that
at home was kind and good
And in each others eyes they found
cloudless heaven of rest.
They began the opening year, with the
purpose high and clear
To regain the vanished Paradise. We all
have had such dreams. But through
all the days,-Wlnter's snow ana summers
green
They have mutually pr oVed but nesby
Th)rne, it GEMS.
They have passed in order due, (pray as
well may all of you),
The Spring of life, its broader glow, and
now in Autumn's peace
They can sit with folded hands, in the
midst Of their own lands
And behold Of their united toll the plen-
tiful increase.
Alone they journeyed forth, finding
strength as they strove,
While the treasures of the hills were pour
ed, unsunungly in their lap.
Now here, with more than Jacobs best,
returning from life's quest,
They count three-fold company, in spite
OF every hap.
Not unmingled were their joys. Every
lot hath its alloys,
And once their hearts were wrung with
bitfar hitter main
Then all that life could bring could not
lift the heart to sing.

actors, told again.
OIL sharp the blow that falls, when be
yond the old home walls
Is borne the form of one whose Begin
nngs we're our pride.
When in bed so dark and deep the dear
clay must coldly sleep
And we must wait through weary years
to be our love beside.
LIES events are limitations, and well
need OF preparation,
That you may so apply them, (these |
wounded souls have prayeds)
As to come where never sorrows such as
hide in earth's tomorrows
Can break the bright, sweet silence, or
make our hearts afraid.
Through fifty years, our friends, such en-
ehantment this bond lends,
Have extolled each others virtues and |
each others faults concealed.
And so may they do ever, till they cross
deaths rapid river
