following original poem by Mrs. 
Seddie Follett, cousin of Mr. 
Prest, was read: 
Somewhat back from the village street 
Stands a house both small and neat! 
To it soon will come a pair, 
Who’ll make music in the air. 
For Jack, (you never saw the beat) 
Can play both with his hands and feet. 
Just watch him some night in the hall, 
When the club waiters hold a ball. 
First a snare-drum, then the bass, 
Tambourine in just the place, 
Triangle and all the rest, — 
Every time Jack does his best; 
Nothing but is in his range. 
Soon howe’er there’ll be a change, 
For, unless some-one has lied, 
Gertrude soon will be his bride. 
Then the fire he’ll have to make 
So his wife can bake her cake; 
Bring the coal, also the wood, 
Having it plainly understood 
From the first, what he’s to do, 
Will make it easier for the two. 
. 50 tonight we gather here, 
Friends and relatives so dear, 
Bringing with usa tin shower 
To help furnish the new bower. 
May you in it happy be, 
Gertrude A. and Johnnie Lee. 
When your friends and others call 
Entertain them one and all; 
Laugh and joke, work or play 
Every night and every day, 
Beat your drum, Jack, or take your ease, 
But don’t beat Gertrude, if you please. 
This is the wish of friends so dear 
Gathered here from far and near.
