oh golden time when welded hearts,
The husband and the wife.
Can look Ger all the tears and smiles
OF fifty wears OF life
The path has led through summer bloom
And winters stormy weather:
Through Eden and Gethsemane.
They have kept step together.
All! softly. golden harvest days.
And time Of latter rains. -
When all the dross Is purged away.
And only gold remains
When children's children sing their
praise,
And love is In full bloom.
And stIll lfe's path shows golden,
In life s golden afternoon.

To Eliza X. Royle-AIy Dear Wife;
'Tis fifty years since we were wed,
But lighted up by loves bright ray.
The prayers we heard, the VOWS we said
Seem but to us as yesterday.
And loving hearts were round us there
And smiles and tears 10 US were given;
rI.f IN, ,tS ,oIn ~ ~
Some hearts that loved us. now, In
. heaven.
And since that day so long ago
Unfaltering love has marked each day;
No Ills Of life no stress Of woe
Could drive this precious love away.
And when our children came TO bless
And brighter make our path on earth,
UnYelfish love and tenderness,
Had ever then, another birth.
Gone are the years, but love remains
To thrill our hearts till time is oeT
And we shall listen co its strains
That rise from tho Celestial shore
