CORNELIUS S. LODER, Secretary. 1 



A TENTH ANNIVERSARY. 



Riverton, N. J., has been the scene of 

 festivities of late. Genial Walter Mott, 

 of H. A. Dreer's, and Sirs. Mott cele- 

 brated the tenth anniversary of their 

 A-edding Dec. 29, and a florist friend of 

 Waller's sent him the following congratu- 

 latory lines: 



(To Walter and Mrs. Mott on the lilth anniver- 

 sary of then- wedding, Dec. 29, 1897.) 



I'll tell you a story that never grows old, 

 And it is not a story of silver and frold, 

 'Tis a s'ory as pure as the heavens aljove. 

 The fadeless, the beautiful story of love. 



Was it 'nenth an old oak. by a rippling stream 



That he told his dear lassie h s love's young 

 dream? 



Or far. far away, on old England's gref n hills. 



Where the nightingale sings and the mocking- 

 bird trills':' 



Full well do I know that this cavalier bold 

 There told her that story— the sweetest ere 



told. 

 Laid siege to her heart, and its citadel carried: 

 And so. ten short .years a_'0, Walter was 



married ! 



Look around and behold what ten years can 



achieve: 

 'Tis a fairy tale- surely— you'll almost believe— 

 ■And yet, when to energy, virtue and tlirift. 

 Is added the noblest, the very best gift 



That a man can desire to well round out his 



life. 

 The gift of a loving and beautful wife! 

 What reason, or ^-ause, do you know! Can you 



tell! 

 Why this child of good fortune shouldn't do 



weir:" 



And the babies! the babies' those crowns of 



alTection. 

 With their dear mama's eyes, and their father's 



complexion. 

 Who'd have thought ten short years could have 



yielded such fruit. 

 And yet all his friends now declare that "they 



knew it." 



Well! 'tis well: and the dai lings are welcome. 



each one. 

 And no lovelier babies ere blinked at the sun. 

 Or absorbed their big toes, or of milk, howled 



for more- 

 Or kept their "pop" all night long walking the 



floor ! 



Bright be the sunlight and gentle the flow 

 Of the river of life, as they onward go. 

 ■May they sail together years. Hve times ten, 

 May the storms and tempests ne'er gather, and 

 when 



All the voyage o'er and the harbor at hand. 

 They cross, one by one, to "the summer land," 

 May they all clasp hands, and together be 

 Through the endless years of eternity.
