The church parlorS were tastefully
decorated with festoons of cheesecloth,
and there was everywhere great pro-
fusion OF golden rod. In an alcove was
perfect imitation of Rebecca's we'll,
from which, instead of limpid water
being drawn. fair maidens dipped out
lemonade to Quench the thirst of all
corners. 1t was pretty sight. A little
ways off the inner man found satiSfac-
ton in ice cream and cake. When all
had been filled, that efficient mas
ter of ceremonies, George III. HaZ-
Zard. who is hest in matters of
this kind, opened the "circus," as Rev.
+. B. Deran termed the occasion, in his
humorous way. ''Blest Be the lie That
Binds" was sung, and the sweet melody
and words seemed only aprepos for
such an occasion. Then Rev. DIR.
Marshall made prayer. IN which the
holy sentiment of perfect married life
was Impressed with soiemnity upon the
hearers.
Rev. Z. B. Doran spoke. He charac-
teriZed the event as time filled with
Golden Memories.
He said that the worthy couple doubt
less rem embered we'll the circumstances
that led up to their marriage. Address
ing himself to Mr.. Tostevin. he asked
him if he did not recollect the happy
time when his ''iieart went pit-a- pat -
You remember" said he, "wlen yeu
asked. Wilt thou" And you remem Der
she 'wilted.' We are all glad to greet
you-glad that you have lived through
fifty years of married life together. We
are glad that your union has been
blessed with chiIdren-that you have
grandchildren. This is the greatest bene-
