SILVER NEDbtN0s

evening, April 20. About seventy fiy
guests were cordially welcomed an

poem, which, by request, ha
been written for The occasion by Mrs. NJ
E. Mayo.
Oh. what were presen, epjoyments,
IL the past were dead and sealed:
Behind US only oblivion,
And the future unreveaied,
While only the fleeing moments
We could grasp rs they hurry on,
And gather paught from their fitting
To treasure when they are gone.
IL memory never existed,
And thought could ne'er turn back.
What multitude OF pleasures
Our human lives would lack.
We e'enlwoald take the shadows
That sometimes cloud the past
Rather than miss the brightness
Old scenes ON our way have cast.
so now from the mystic "somewhere",
That safe in its keeping holds
The past. until at our bidding,
Its record 1t unfolds.
We summon happy memories,
Making this joyful time
To all save one "Rebesah''
Who struggles with this poor rhyme.
So long we've been reviewing
The scenes of other days,
That. like clairvoysnt mysteries,
Distinctly, In the maze
That settled round the distant past,
Before these two wed.
We catch some necting rlimpses
OF how their pathway led.
A young man. fine OF figure,
And tall and brave and strong.
1s travelling to another town.
But the distance 10 not long:
Not to cross too many Bridges.
Is his care upon the way;
But one of them. although quite young.
At his request, turned "Gray".
And since that time, together
You Rave walked upon life's way;
TIL passing years have brought you
To your silver wedding day.
To your hreside, you have given US
A welcome warn and tree;
To you we bring glad greetings
And to your children three.
Such anniversaries should be KEEP.
With thankfulness aud joy:
The memories Of III IN treasured up
As gol |, without alloy.
So light upon your future way
From this bright hour will shine.
In rays of Friendship. Truth and Love
Both human and divine.

CHAPTER VII CONTINUED.

Far enough was this from the tur-
moil of London, which Law and his
companion had left nearly year be-
tore; far enough still from the wild
capital of New France, where they had
spent the winter, after landing, as
much by chance as through any plan,
at the port of the St. Lawrence. Ever
q demon OF unrest drove Law forward;
ever there becloned to him that ire
sistible West, of which he was one
of the earliest to feel the charm.
Farther and farther westward, swift
fur traders had made the journey be-
fore, he and his party, led by Du
Mesne, the ex-galley-slave and wander
err whom Law had by chance met
again, and gladly at Montreal, had
made the long and dangerous run up
the lakes, past Michilimackinac. down
the lake of Michiganon, headed to-
ward the interior of new continent
which was then, as for generations
after then, the land of wondrous dis
tances, of grand enterprises, of mag
nif1cent promises and immense fulfill
ments. The bales and bundles of this
bivouac belonged to John Law, bought
by gold from the gaming tables of
Montreal and Quebec, and ventured in
the one great hazard which appealed
to him most irresistibly, the hazard of
life and fortune in far land, where
he might live unneighbored, and where
he might forget. Gambler in England.
