land and other celebrities of the Georgian
period than with the gossip of her own
day
In spite of the fact that she was a
great belle, so runs the story Major
Minis always declared that she actually
proposed to him and Mrs, Minis, 1t is
said cannot deny it.
On one occasion Major Minis, who was
secretly in love with the beautiful girl,
sounded her on the charms Of one of his

he is a member, to the ease with which
his methon of cure may be learned and
practiced by others, and his great desire
to use every opportunity freely to give
relief to the suffering, and to impart this

THE GOLDEN WEDDING.

Fifty years Of life together!
Dearest, lay your hand in mine;
List, this IS our Golden Wedding
With it's radiance divine.
Fifty years Of storm and sunshine
Fifty years Of faith and love-
Fifty years of life together,
Thanks to Him who reigns above.
When wooed you in your beauty
And our lives were in their Spring,
When we pledged our love in union
And I sealed it with this ring,
Heaven itself was dimmed in vision
BY the rapture in my breast;
But to-day my love Is stronger
Fifty years has been it's test!
When upon your brow descended
From Gods hand the gift. came down.
Woman's regal right of mother,
Royalty you wore the crown.
Dearest, how loved you, loved you
With strength scarce dared own,
Fervid with strong mans passion
Wife, that love has greater grown!
Midst your hair the threads Of silver
Came as years they slipped away,
But our lives were bound more closely
BY the love-links forged each day.
Stalwart sons and gracious daughters
Were the gifts you gave to me,
I had but my love to Offer
Still it's incense circles thee!
Fifty years of life together!
Close, ali, close the shadows steal
And our feet the rivers margin
Touch unnoticed as We kneel.
Closer, closer, let your heart-beats
Throb with mine this glad to-day
Fifty years Of life together!
Storm or sunshine, Love held sway!
