THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING DAY.
Just fifty years ago, dear wife, Sincj you and I were wed. To-day's our golden wedding day— Where can the years have lied / Am I that shy aud awkward youth— Am you that m.iidun fair, With silver threads among the curls That once was golden hair?
I never can forget the day That made you all my own — Your lips like tempting cherries ripe, Your cheeks like roses blown. Your sweet eyes shining bright as stars, In fancy yet I sec, And you that day than all the world Were dearer far to mo.
And yet, dear heart, I know that I Love bettor far to-d;iy Than o'en I loved that maiden fair, The wife that's old nnd grey. And I will pray that you and 1 Mny walk life's golden sands, Until wo reach thnt better place. The house not built with hands. —Jessie M. Johnson.
