Their Proud Day
JUST think of it — thirty-nine grandchildren ! -Nothing phenomenal, you say. Well, perhaps not, but. surely something to strike nride- m two hearts which have beaten as one for the past fifty years. Thirty-nine lusty young New Zealanders perpetuate the fine old pioneering blood of Mr. and Mrs. George Henry Clarkson, who took life's journey together on New Year's Day, 1879. January 1 last was their golden wedding, which was joyfully celebrated m Dunedin by an assembly of relations and friends to wish the dear old couple Heaven's guidance along the span to their next matrimonial milestone : — their diamond wedding. And as the "bride" cut the cake, one could not help but recall the wonder of those words — "The sacred academy of man's life is holy wedlock m a' happy wife."
