Jones Celebrate their Golden Wedding in a Quiet and Beauti ful Way. Surrounded by Children and Grandchildren-the Golden Sheaves. On Wednesday, March 16, 1S9+, Mr :nd Mrs. Larwbert.J. ,Jones celr-brated the :,nth auniversarY f their marriage -their Golden Wedding Day, by a farily reunion-within three miles of where they were married. There were I>resent twenty-six chil dreu, including sons and daughters-in law, and eighteen grandchildren, (nine boys and nine girls), being their entire family, with o.le exception. Some few persons coming from quite a distance in order to be present. Two of those p>resent having attended their wedding in 1S42. The cards of announcement were printed in gold and sent to many friends. In accord with their Quaker-like habits and inclinations, there were no ceremonies of any special kind beyond the reading of several addresses and poems appropriate to the occasion-one or more of which being written special ly in honor of the day. \Irs..Jones, to interest her numerous grandchildren, formed wbat she termed her "Golden Badge Society," by badg ing them all with oadges of gold and golden-colored ribbon (with names and dates printed on them), so they might have me' entos of the day. Next, she presented to each of their children a box containing some relics and keep sakes, consisting of old jewelry, family photographs, etc., some of which had been in the family many years. And to ?ach of the grandchildren stie pre sei:,ed a suitable book from the family library. Then she read some verses written on the occasion of their mar riage in 1S42, and presented to them then by David Jones, a Quaker cousin, of West Milton, Ohio, styled FYITHA LAMIlCM. I saw two crystal streams Flow with unbroken motion: They joined in one, as they did run Towards the parent ocean. I saw two clouds above The sun was on them shining, And tinged with light, in glory bright They were in union joining. I saw two flames of fire, Like seraphs fair ascending: As they did rise, towards the skies, They were all brightly blending. May such your union prove. While life to you is given: And when cold death has stopped your breath, Then reunite in heaven. She afterwards read a most appro priate and touching poem. "We Are Growing Old Together": We're growing old together, love, Our youth has long since fled, And many of the fricnds we've praised Are numbered with the dead. But s hough some plans have come to naught, Some pleasures flown away. The love that made our hearts as one Has never known decay. We're growing old together. love; Our dear ones note the fact, And testify the love they feel By many a kindly act. By gentle words and looks of love They smooth life's rugged way, And though the evening shadows fall, The love-light makes it day. We're growing old together, love; This does not cause a sigh. The past is rich in memories sweet. The preseat yields its joy. A life well spent brings content, With the hope or future bliss: For beyond the narrow stream of death There's a brighter world than this. We're growing 01(1 together, love; But time can ne'er destroy The record of the happy past, When, full of hope and joy, We miade the vows we've fondly kept To cheer each other's path. And bless each other with the love That shall not die with death. We're growing old together, love; How many years have passed Since first we journeyed side by side, And this may be ourlat We soon shall lay life's burden down. The ea,'e, the pain, the strife, For deaith is but th'e MIaster's call To enter into life. Mr. Geo. S. Mower read an address written by David Jones in honor of their Golden Wedding Day. Iail: My dear Cousins. Now's the auspicious day Long 1looked for doubtfully, as well you may, For few within this world of toil and strife E'er reach that period of connubial life, With joys aid sorrows, mainly by you known, Through five decades you hand in hand have gone. Great praise to y'our Creator's surely due, Who has with life and health thus favored you. I now propose a retrospect to cast, With active mem'ry trav'ling o'er the past Say of those friends who saw you wed, i-lw many alive, how many dead: Ho0w many can with you reunite. T1o celebrate again your nuptial night ? Were I this (lay but with you, it would be One of much joy, but sorrow some to me, Joy, you to meet once more this side the grave; Sorrow, for absence of the fair and 1-r we, Who with me on the night you married were, Beheld your marriage and partook your cheer; Those nuptial scenes, fit subjects for the Muse, Before me rise in panoramic views. 'Twas pleasant eve, at Springfield's mansion fair, 'he elite of Newberry were gathered there; Hilarious some, still reading youth's bright page: M1ore thoughtful others of maturer age: We saw you there at Hymen's altar take Those mortal vows, whiich one of two doth make, A knot so sacred, by the pastor tied, That death, and only death, should it dividel We also heard that pastor's fervent prayer, That you the blessings of the Lord might share; In silence deep the attentive hearers stood, And looked as though they wished you nought but good. Next was a circ'lar table, set in state. That almost groaned beneath its precious weight Of richest v'iands, wrought with care and skill. Which standing guests partook of with good will. One thing the e lacked some nuptial feasts afford No ruby wine was sparkling on the board, Which, as 'tis said by wisest of all kings, lites like a serpent, like an adder stings: But which our Nation's highest rulers use At feasts of state, whc'-e all may drink who choose. Ini p lace of wine, we had what pleased us all, A drin k nectarious, void of alcohol. 'he banquet ended, next the guests repaired To well lit rooms and social converse shared, While younger ones both jests and wit enforced; The older ones more thoughtfully discoursed, Till at time's call, well pleased, they all withdrew. Then MSp-ingfield's hal's both dark and silent grew. Of all the marriages to which I've been None like to this I ever vet have seen. If I'm the reason asked, then be it known, Parental presence was at others shown On others p)arents looked with joy and pride, And gave their 'M ssings to the groom and bride. Not with one d.,v the nuptial pleasures ceased, lit on the next was held an infair feast. Not so with you;-lon g ere your wedding (lay, Your parents dear by death were call'd away, And vou were in such isolation placed, Few relatives your nuptial banquet graced. Hard fortune followed you, but why 'twas so No human wisdom can unto us show. First of you ,-parents lost at tender age, liut have their images on mem'ry page: The other was so young, as I've been told, No father, miother. ever did behold, Neer shared, in filial or parental love, Those heartfe't treasures sent down from above: Those family dies that are above all price. That make of home an earthly paradise. Deprived forever of such love and care Cast on the world for other hands to rear. Sur'tis enough to make such orphans sad, \vho feel as though fhey parents never had. while you these states described were passing through, Sorrows no doubt oft happened unto von: But he who "hears the ravens when they en'," And gives to fowls of air their food sup~ply, When iIe beheld that evil, scheming men otr patrimonial interests sought to gain,-. \oved noble hearts to come unto your aid, By whom those efforts 'gainist your rights were staved. a, can vou e'er forget, until life's end, hat noble guardian, advocate, friend, Who, when lhe saw what wrongs you would sus tain, iv legal measures (lid those wrongs restrain; fis happy wards vou were, andI 'tis a truth hat his sage ccounsels governed vou thro' youth. n leariiing's halls through studious years von wrought. ?nd gained those treasures never sold or houghi hose mental treasures, which, the Bards hav'e sug.

Those well-earned treasures, which you'd hoped would stay. By war'- dread hand were moF,.v swept away, And pOwer nut yours your hanless state did sway. Then came the crisis. for ';our friends to know The courage you could 'gainst disasters show. I'm proud to say, that plainly it appears: You've faltered not through many trying years, To no discouragements you've given heed, t But ,p:ucked new courage 'gainst each threat'ning need, Like trees that winds have oft assayed to shake. The more thy're shook, the deeper root they take. f themes of grief, unpleasant 'tis to write, Nor to the reader do they give delight: But when the acts of life we briefly trace. Some that unpleasant are should have their place; nut those unpleasant days have long been pass'd, You've peace and order that I trust will last For mane years, as did the poet say, You've "kept the noiseless tenor of vour way. But whi:e your life at home I've brought to view. I'll not forget that you have traveled too. This much I know, you've left your home retreat, And crossed the mountains, relatives to greet: You too the broad Atlantic have pass'd o'er, And both have walked on England's classic shore. These later years, it 'seems, you did not roam, But have your time nassed quietly at home, Till now, March sixteenth, eighteen and ninety two A time not prized by others, but by you. The nast described, the present to declare, Swiftly flying Fancy shall transport me there. Methinks I see you in your home retreat. Apparaled plain, with smiles of welcome greet Those dear returning pledges of your love. Who come their love and constancy to prove. Grandchildren, too, of different age and size, With radiant cheeks and brilliant, sparkling eyes, Whose lively prattle and whose pleasant ways, Call up the thoughts of your childish days. I see your children, each with smiling face, Give to you gifts befitting time and place Those precious proofs, which show to you how high A place in their dear hearts you occupy; Discourses apropos, the time beguiles, And they're well pleased at your approving smiles. I see vour table set with best design See parents, children and grandchildren dine: I see, as you survey the happy train, Your lives renewed-you live in them again. But, as the poet sang long time ago: "Dream not of joys unmixed here below." So your gone children's portraits, on the wall, Some mometary pangs of grief recall, Which unto you a helping means may prove To lift your hearts to happy homes above, Where none are subject to death's fatal stroke, Where ties of love and friendship ne'r are broke. In order seated next, with skill and taste, I see gold badges on your children placed A bright reminder of this happy day, And bond for union that should last for ave. I see you, scan you, with desire to know Hlow much you've changed since fifty years ago. Then blood of youth through all your veins did flow, Your gait erect was, and your walk not slow: Nor had time wrinkles made on cheek or brow. Your youth you carried then, with least of care, Now weight of age I seem to see you bear, And failures, showing in the springs of life, Like "still small voices," warn you of the strife, When failing Nature'll yield unto that foe Which but the One e'er vanquished he:e below. On scenes imagined: now 'tis time to stop. So I will here let Fancy's curtain drop. Age brings its honors. Solomon declares, Confirmed by the world's reverence for gray halrs. A life well spent these honors much increase, With corresponding harmony and peace. * No state more happy man e'er knew below Than his acceptance with the Lord to know. My prayer is, that with you it may be so; That when at length your days of life are run, Hope's golden halo'll guild each setting sun Well grounded hope, of entrance into Heaven: This is my last,-none better can be given. Your cousin, DAVID JONES. Mr. L. W. White then read the fol lowing verses addressed to Mrs. Jones from her husband: This is a welcome day, my love, As scenes around us show, For it reminds us of the day, Just fifty years ago, When we did solemnly agree, That while should run life's sands. We would in love united be Hymen's holy bands. This is a pleasant day, my love, To know how well we've done In keeping of those sacred vows, That bound us both in one, That we have for each"other felt Such conjugal regard, That through our vaied life we've dwelt In harmony unmarried. This is a thankful day, my love; To the good Lord of Heaven, W~ho unto us,-white others died, Such length of life hath given: And blessings more than we can state Have been on us bestowed, While we've been passing soon aiid late Along life's chequered road. This is a happy day, my love, Because our children dear, Grandchildren, too, both large and small, All joyfully are here: Who, by their acts of love and sport, In which they do engage, Show that they'll help and comfort us In our de. .iing years. This is a thoughtful day, my love, For while we look around For the companions of our youth, So few can now be found. Who, strong like us, in days gone by The vital air did breathe, Now smit by death, their bodies lie The valley's clods beneath. This is a serious day, my love, For all of age like ours, Who in their systems plainly feel Life's slow decaying powers, So cheerfully and prayerfully Life's evening let us spend. That when we come to die we'll see That Christ the Lord's our friend. A bountiful and modern dinner was then served in the large family dining room,which was decorated with yellow flowers (in fact the golden color ap peared in almost every conceivable thing in dress, ornaments and gifts.) The table was in shape of a cross, to af ford as many "vis-a-vis's" as possible, to make the social part more general, with seats for all-flower favors from the greenhouse on each plate. The table was waited on most beau tifully and satisfactorily by four of the granddaughters who wore white lace caps and aprons. Unrestrained freedom of the house was given to each and every grandchild by their grandmother, so that their memories of the day should not be marred in the slightest degree. All except two of the guests remain ed all night under the ample and hos pitable roof, and spent the following day together-the photographer being called in to take a photo of the whole family in a group. Although dreary wiuteg, held sway outside, summer reigned within the home and in the hearts of each one, and "all went merry as a marriage bell!"

One on March 1.5, 1892, and one in Janl nary, 1893. During the evening Rev, and Mrs. WV. C.. Sebaeffer dropped in to off'er congratul ations. Mr. Sebaeff'er present ed the fo lowing lilnes which were sug gested to hi m by the happy occasion: The years have "'orn the wedding ring, whiich p,edgedt "o1 young and binds you old, And it ha- p-'ovedI a. g.:iled thing, But to its centre gold, pure gold: Y'our love, a half hundred years.
