ON THEIR 25rH ANNIVERSARY.

Sad, sad, the hour of parting when we bid
 the last farewells,- We will not say "Good bye" 1t too long sto-
 ry tells; It is ,s. for kindly, kindly greeting, we're assembled For soon will come the parting, of 1t we'll
 ne'er lose sight. How shall describe the feelings that actuate Stern are the decrees of Providence, and to it
 we must bow, The pang is none less keen, though certain That the tender tie that bound us, too soon
 must severed be. Five years you've stood before us, between
 the liviDg and the dead, You've been a faithful watcher at the sick and A loving f friend fen and minister beside the open
 grave, To mourning friends around sweet words of
 comfort gave. The little lambs will miss you from your ac-
 customed place, You have soothed their little sorrows and
 taught them of Gods grace, You have shared their innocent childish joys,
 1t has ever been your rule, All will miss your cheering presence in the
 pleasant Sunday School. ought mo not to indulge in gloomy thoughts
  Nor mingle one note of sadness In what I'm
 going to say; Yet still the thought comes OCT me of days
 that's long since past, Of the many happy meetings, and this may
 be the last You see gathered here before you, friends
 that are true and tried; That you deserve such friendship 1t cannot
 be denied, For your many acfs of kindness, loving words
 and noble deeds, Your hearty and ready response in every
 time of need. You've been blessed in your children, shall
 not say your wife? For know she's gone hand in hand with
 you in the journey of life. And the aged grandmother sits smiling here
 tonight, I know she is enjoying this truly happy
 sight. No highly wrought eulogy of mine can e'er
 the debt repay, And know each one will respond Amen to
 every word say, That whatever be your station, or where'er
 you cast your lot That you have left behind name that will
 not be forgot.

The Man the Printer Loves

There is a man the printer loves, And he is wondrous wise; WheDe'er he writes the printer man He dotteth all his Is. And when he's dotted all of them With carefulness and ease, He punctuates each paragraph And crosses all his t's. Upon one side alone he writes, And never rolls his leaves. And from the man of ink a smile And mark "insert" receives. And when question he doth ask Taught wisely he hath been He doth the goodly stamp @. close For postage back put in. He gives the place from which he writes The address the printer needs And plainly writes his honored name, So he that runneth reads. He writes, revises, reads, corrects And re-writes all again, And keeps one copy safe and sends One to the printer man. And thus by taking little pains, At trifiing care and cost, Assures himself his manuscript Will not be burned or lost. So let those who long to write Take pat ern by this man, With jet black ink and paper white Do just the best they can, And then the printer man shall know And bless them as his friends All through life's journey as they go Until that journey ends.
