A WEDDING ANNIVERSARY IN
SWANVILLE.

Our Swanville correspondent writes:
''The following poem is respectfully ded-
icated to Mr.. and Mrs. J. W. Nickerson,
who celebrated the fortieth anniversary
of their wedding Christmas, 1918. We
regret we did not receive it earlier"
FORTY YEARS OF Welded LIFE.
You have journeyed on together
Mid smiles and bitter tears,
Through rough and pleasant weather,
Side by side for forty years.
Parents of eight lovely children,
Six fair daughters and two sons.
All are with you but two daughters,
Numbered with the heavenly ones.
You are blessed with four dear 'grand ones.
Pure as gold without alloy:
Three wnsome little lassies
And a darling fair haired boy.
You've been very faithful comrades,
A devoted man and wife.
Always sharing in the pleasures
And the sorrows met in life.
Has the road been rough and billy,
And your burdens hard to bear?
You have grown 3 trifle older,
Silver threads shine in your hair.
But may Time, which brings all changes,
Strew the path that lies before
With the fairest of earth's blossoms.
Make it brighter than of yore.
You are gathered round the fireside
On this anniversary day,
Chatting, laughing. telling stories.
Making merry while you may.
Friends extend you kindly greetings
And, in visions. think they see
A brilliant golden wedding
In nineteen twenty three.
/ Celia Mabel Nickerson.'
