our good friends James Boyer, was
thlrty-o one years of age, and as the
next day was the ninth anniversary of
the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Bower.
they concluded to celebrate both of
the events at once. So James sent out
a " runner = and told his friends TO
come, that he had prepared feast
and he wanted them to come and help
him devour it at early candle light
ing his friends began TO come and
soon the house was filled, as many as
1t could hold, and such time, games
and iollity reigned supreme. Then
came the supper, and such lot of
good things to eat as there was-but
then you must taste some of Mrs.
Boyer's cooking to know what good
things to eat means. AT late hour
all wendell their way homeward,
each wishing that James was thirty
one years old, and that their wedding
day would roll around every day.
