snow-assembled at the hospitable man

Hendryx repeated the lovely ceremony by
which Mr.. and Mrs. Turley were pro-
nounced man and wife "for twenty years
more"
A song, composed for the occasion by
Mrs. Singer, was then rendered by Mrs
Singer, Mrs. DonnelI, DR.. Cave and L n.
Singer, as follows:
twas twenty years ago today, in fairest kind
of weather,
That our Jerome to Bashie said, lets join our
hands together.
In matrlmony's holy bands, love you as my
life,
And truly wish yon to become, my darling
happy wife.
CHORUS.
That beautiful, beautiful morn,
When our Jerome his Bashie took
His fireside to adOrn:
Hear the twinkle, twinkle, twinkle of the bells
AS they peal upon the clear and frosty air,
With their silvery intorations they perpetu-
ally swell,
Chasing far away all thought Of care.
Jerome was fair TO look upon, noble youth
was he:
And as Miss Bashie looked on him what could
her answer be2
She blushed and hung her stately head, her
happiness TO hide,
Then placed her hand in his and said, with you
] will abide.
CHORUS
And so they emigrated "west," this Jolly
To sunny Kansas, near the site of Wichita, so
fair:
And in their stately residence, we all are met
tonight.
To wish them in this life and next, future
clear and bright.
CHORUS
Brave sons surround their festal board and
lovely daughters too,
Make sweetest music in the home, with words
of love so true;
o! may their days with JOY be filed, their
nights with peace be blest,
Till God. our Father, calls them home, with
Him at last to rest.
CHORUS
All then repaired to the dining room
where the tables were spread with every
Imaginable delcacy. Here, with appetites
whetted by the fierce encounter with old
boreas. the merry crowd discussed the
tempting viands, while sallies of wit and
merry peals of laughter made the repast
