$50 SILVER WEDDING, 1s75-1sOO.
How often it appeareth
= Man cannot live alone,
: And it was not intended, ..-
For when the bright moon shone
Down on the earth's creation,
God saw the man, in state,
And said "He is our own image
And he shall have mate.
,I'IIm make helpmeet for him,
- To go with him always,
To comfort him in all distress,
To cheer declining days."
Thus it has been for ages,
Man gains the woman's heart,
= And law and justice sayeth t
That they shall never part. '.*''.- 80
So in January, eighteen seventy-fye.r -.
We heard the wedding bells,
Like the music of the seashore,
The echo in the shills.
For Neil and Mary each had given
hand unto the other,
And vows of sacredness had passed,
Which timer au noght can smother.
This man had mated once before
wife dear to his eyes
Only few years with him
God took her to the skies. ~
She gave him a daughter and SON
:, To cheer his lonely hearth, s. 4
But God in unknown wisdom ~aa. -.

Calling for one, and two, and three,
We prayed Him, "call no more"
Gathering in the golden grain,
The sheaves for preservation,
And thus to heaven they passed away,
the former generation.
One link between this man and wife
To bind them to each other,
God gave-it was another SON
