The building itself is q o,ful
blending Of beauty, dignity and
strength. American architects have
not gone to school to Greek masters

Is but an charged, perfected eui,ion OF

the Creeks imbued inanimate matter
is here present.
With regard to that which the
building coatains, there Is no weed oi

friends to meet at his residence, l30 La
fayette avenue, to celebrate the twenty
ffth anniversary of wedding that took
place Jan. 2s, 1868, in Hancock, Me-, when
by the help of his father, the late Rev. h.
Y. Watson, he made Miss George Wooster
his wife. The parlors and all other rooms,
in fact, were fragrant with a profusion Of
roses Of every kind. Every one was in
the happiest mood and the evening was q
delightful one to all present. Mr.. and Mrs.
Watson were assisted in receiving their
guests by their daughter, Miss Cora
Frances, and their niece, Miss Kittie B.
Wooster, Of Hancock. Me. Many elegant
presents were sent in. After a jolly time
. choice collation. was served. Then the
young 1olkS danced, none more grace
fully than the bride Of five and twenty
years ago. The following guests were
present: Mr.. and Mrs. w. J. d. Camp

Thank You"

The other day reader Of the Christian
Union returned to the editorial office
short editorial which had appeared in these
columns. with the simple message Thank
you" written on slip of paper. 1t took
but minute to do it, but that minute was
well spent, because it conveyed to the
writer of the article the inspiration of
knowing that he had helped some one.
His word, however unsatisfactory to him.
self at the moment, had not been spoken
in vain. 1t is such spontaneous recogni-
tions of service done as this which make
the work of life easier. and which tighten
it's burdens 1t takes but a moment to
speak this word of recognition, aud yet it
remains for the most part unspoken, not
because people are ungrateful. but because
they are not in the habit Of expressing
gratitude; they assume that he who speaks
or does something which helps them does
not stand in need of any recognition. This
is great mistake. Every man and woman
who speaks or acts with the hope of help
ing others needs the response which as
sures them that they have not spoken or
acted In vain. The greatest, no less than
the weakest, stand In constant need of this
fellowship and recognition. At this sea-
son especially, when the thought Of graf
itude is brought home by special services 8
and commemOrations, it is well to remem-
Der that We ought not only to be grateful
to God, but to every human soul who aids
US forward in our journey through life
