Old American House Barn,
SALINE, - - MICH.
It is possible there were two people
more taken by surprise in Washtenaw
county on Saturday evening than Samuel R. Crittenden and his amiable wife,
buthardly probable. About 5:30,with-
out notice, warning or reason, as it
seemed for the nonce, from all points
of the compass, there flowed in upon
the spacious premises of the aforesaid
worthy people a continuous stream of
friends, neighbors and kindred. This
continued until about one hundred people were gathered in the hospitable
mansion that shone resplendent with
fair women and brave men. But this
was not a chance gathering by any
means. It happened to be the twenty-
fifth anniversary of the Crittenden
wedding. Their daughter, Mrs. Walker, and her husband, Mr. E. Walker,
principal of the school at Dexter, Mich.,
hadfarranged the affair admirably, and
it was so successfully carried out that
the chief parties were kept in blissful
ignorance of the event 'till the aforesaid guests began to arrive. It is needless to say the occasion was a happy
one. Samuel R. is a host in himself
and his good wife not a whit "behind.
The company was a joyous one as befitted the occasion. Men forgot their
years and were young again. Goodly
dames renewed the days of their youthful conquests and smiled triumphantly
upon the swains of long ago. "And
all went merry as a marriage bell."
A bountiful repast was served about
nine o'clock, which,it is needless also to
say, was honored in an emphatic manlier. Then came the intellectual feast.
Mr. Walker read an appropriate and
feeling address of welcome, as follows:
Friends:—In behalf of my esteemed
father and mother who on this Occasion may see fit to depart from their
generous preparation for social gatherings, it falls my happy lot to greet you
a hearty welcome to their home and
heart. In confering this introductory
tribute, three elements of benefit confront us. First, the object, second, the
matter and third the manner. The
first, father and mother, Mr. and Mrs.
Crittenden,who in the silvered quarter
of a century of happy married life now
tinging the locks with entering prime
have so nobly applied the virtue of
success to £he acquisitioli of this
pleasant honie in ",vhieh p,ur friends
delight to meet: in the priceless possession of a steadfast faith in the home
of our Master and the blessing of
children, to thank them for a prayerful
guidance at home and out of the home
into life's school: for an unselfish provision in generous giving-to ward corner
stones of life; for an enviable value and
appreciation of worth in the economy
of life, and much that this brief paper
must leave unsaid, are their children
to be grateful for and will live by.
Itis via. this latter source that the
speaker has the pleasure of addressing
you to-day. If the eommon question,
"whether is the greatest delight the
enjoyment of an old friendship or the
acquiring of a new one'' were asked me,
I would answer "It is in preparing of a
friendship and in the possession of it,
as, it is wrfh the h*dsbandjnan in sowing
and reaping, his delight is jn the hope
pleasing musical fantasy upon the
organ, which was well received. This"
was followed by a recitation from Miss
Lou E. Walker, entitled "Scotland's
Maiden Martyr." Then Mi". Frank
Clark sang. Mr. Lloyd Crittenden recited an original poem, written for the
occasion, entitled "The Old Brown
House." Then more singing by Frank
Clark, accompanied on the organ by
Mrs. Clark. Rev. Mr. Bartlett then
read the following anniversary ode,
prepared for the occasion:

the sowing and reaping have given a
good opportunity of bespeaking how
those hearts, the recipients of our surprise or earnest wishes, will -and are receiving the good will poured in upon
them. As the fruit of my acquaintance
in this household exceeds the sowing,
as pleasant and as blossoming with
love as it was, so will your presence be
deeper felt than expected.
Christ gave himself for the world and
that was the greatest gift, greater than
money or any tangible worth so is the
presence of the hearts and sympathies
of your friends about you. By this
presence is attested, tlieii* respect, appreciation for past friendship and best
wishes for future years of love and
happiness together. The amount of
spirit already poured out for us, depends
upon the reception it has in our hearts
fpr the good it does us. May yo u
presence to night prove in part like
the one of Socrates to his poor disciple
who said to his master, Others may
have given you much but I am the only
one who has left notching to himself.
This gift says Socrates, you shall never
repent of, for I will take care to return
it better than I found it. And after
having beeu replenished by the generous supply from our party and expressions of surprise from father and mother
together with tlie interchange of "iolly
t'uought, who will say the figure does
not fit? Again urging a hearty welcome
is yours and wishing father and mother
Godspeed in a long continued happy
life of love and prosperity, we are
committed to farther orders to see a
friend pleased, it ismuch more to make
him so.
Miss  Jennie   Bartlett   rendered   a
Mine is a pleasing task to-night-,
Amid these scenes so fair, so Tjright,
To weave a chaplet for your brows,
And loving hearts to smiles arouse.
For six and twenty 3Tears you two
Have to your wedded vows been true:
Together trod the lengthening span,
Together marched in honor's van.
And now this anniversary eve
"Tis hard indeed we must believe.
That all these years have simply lied,
Numbered among the honored dead,
Since first these plighted vows were made;
Since first in bridal robes arrayed
A blushing girl this mother stood
And took her Sam for bad or good.
Ah, well.they look so young to-night:
"With pleasant faces, eyes so bright;
The years have sat so lightly here.
The smiles have chased tlie flying tear,
That we could wish no better fate
Each one of us should e'er await
Than crowns to-night your happy life!
A faithful husband, loving wife.
Oh golden years! how swift they fly.
Their shadows on the hearthstone lie:
Each with its precious memories stored:
Each hath its treasures gladly poured
From richer vase than Tuscan's art;
By angel hands that still impart
Their rarest gifts, their choicst spell
To homes and hearts they love so well!
Around you gathered are your friends,
Their presence an enchantment lends
To all the years that gently blend.
In life's bright stream, whose peaceful trend
Through flowery hanks and verdant dales.
Rippling with Heaven's propitious gales.
Still mirrors on its broadening crest
The better home, the final rest.
Oh six and twenty wedded years,—
Oh sunshine mingled with the tears!
Oh happy- voices calling still.
Behind yon westering sunset hilll
I see the children of your love,
I hear the cooing of the dove.
The peaceful dove with olive branch,
As tiny barks yousafely launch:
Nor floods have swept,nor storms have tossed.
Nor argosies of youth are lost.
The singer feign would end his song;
Bnt one sweet note will still prolong
The music of his humble lyre,—
Atribute to this worthy sire.
My brother!   We who greet you here
Kuow well what gives this scene its cheer.
Can read your heart and write the word
That all these years its cords have stirred!
A treasure far beyond compare
Is standiugwith vou happy there.
Her love, her faith have made your home
The fairest spot neath Heaven's blue dome!
Of all the joys that bless your life
You'll surely say the best's—my -wife;
And when 'tis said, these children then
Will each one add a long amen!
Oh happy wife and mother, too,
Long may you live to greet anew'
These kindly faces, in whose glow
You read the earnest prayers that flow
From hearts as true to. thee and thine
As priestess to her votive shrine 5
One parting wish then husji the song
The years are short, but life is long-;
For reaching out beyond our ken
We know not where, we know not when,—
Another wedding there shall be
From earthlv cares and sorrows free!
Oh happy thou, my hosts, if there
The wedding garments you shall wear:
Placed by a loving Saviour's hands.
While" He shall join in heavenly bands
The lives so fully blest on earth;
Now glorified in heavenly birth!
Still hand in hand: still heart to heart,
No more to weep, no more to part.
Amid the mansions he prepares.
Amid the glories that he shares,
With all whose earthly homes are blest
By Him as an abiding guest.
And now Kind friends, let joy supreme
The flying moments well redeem.
Be young again,—Ye boys of gray!
Ye old time girls resume your sway!
With stylish swains in awkward rows.
Sing '"Oats. Pease, Beans and Barley grows!"
And you young sirs, and maidens, too,
See how the old folks used to do!
Hail and farewell!   Hushed be the lyre:
The embers smoulder, gone thefire!"
Once more tho golden wedding feast,
Amid the greatest and the least.
Another song, an angel strain
Shall echo through your hearts again.
""Glory and honor, power and praise*'
Throughout eternal wedding days.
Be to the I.amb. whose marrlajje bells.
While the song of the ransomed ever swells,—
Ring out the False, and ring in the True!
Then the bride adorned in herb.-auty anew
Ou her beloved in rapture shalllean*—
The church of our Lord, Heaven's radiant
queen.
Willi our honored hosts may you all nppenr.
Tlie bridegroom's welcome at last to lienr!
("lothed in his venture: truisflguied in light:
Prayer then shall be praise; faith evermore
sight!
Frank Clack then snug several of his
funny songs. The guests seemed unwilling that he should stop and kept
him at it for at least a half an hour.
He good naturedly complied with their
wishes. His selections were in good
taste.
Then as the guests bade a cordial
good bye to their kind entertainers it
was felt by all that this twenty-fifth
anniversary of Samuel R. Crittenden
and wife's happy wedded years was a
white milestone to all of us in the
journey of life. A Friend.
