JULIAND - COAN: Married in Guilford, Conn., January 28th, 1823, by the Rev. David Baldwin, Mr. Richard W. Juliand and Miss Lucretia Coan.
When a husband and wife have seen their fifty-seventh wedding day, they may well be said to have reached the golden age of matrimony. The venerable host and hostess who received a few friends at their hospitable home "on the hill" last Wednesday evening, have arrived at that period, and with the mellow light of life's declining sun shining upon their heads, they stood before the assembled guests implying by their actions that they were ready to repeat the pledge of mutual affection which they exchanged more than half a century ago. Time has not chilled their hearts, though it has scattered its snows of many winters in their hair, and with its rough hand traced here and there, its furrows on their brows. It was truly refreshing to look upon their bright, genial faces when we consider how many years have passed from Time into Eternity since they first plighted their troth at the altar. Within the period of time which has elapsed since our dear friends were made one, nations have been divided, empires overthrown, kingdoms set up, and the very face of nature in many parts of the world has changed. But there has been no change in the bridal couple who entertained us so handsomely the evening of their recent anniversary, save that which years produce on the outer shell of humanity. In soul and spirit the bride and bridegroom of that evening were the bride and bridegroom of fifty-seven years ago. This is an age of improvements; but there are some things which cannot be improved. One of them is old fashioned affection It is most beautifully illustrated in the forms of the two esteemed friends of whom we are speaking. Though one, from infirmity and age, is deprived of a great deal of his own self-dependence, yet the other watches over him most tenderly and affectionately, and administers to his every want. We see in them the picture of love triumphant over time, which Burns doubtless had in his mind's eye when he wrote that most touching of all ballads; "John Anderson, My Jo." For more than fifty years they have traveled together the pathway of life, through storm and sunshine trusting and clinging to each other, and though they are now old in years, yet they are young in heart, and are happy in the love of one another. In the name of the guests present at their fifty-seventh anniversary, we wish them a safe and pleasant journey to the end of their earthly pilgrimage. We trust that the remainder of the sea of life over which they may, by God's providence, be permitted to sail, will be tranquil and placid as an inland lake surrounded by mountains, and that, as they draw nearer and nearer to the haven where they would be, and to which we are all bound, may "the peace of God which passeth all understanding" be theirs. E.L.J.
