We hear from Lancaster [England], that sometime since, the
nuptials of a very loving couple were celebrated there; the
good gentleman being aged but 83, and the lady 49:  A
numerous company attended the joyful occasion: the
diversions were various, but the chief were musick and
dancing:  The happy couple aforesaid, led up the first dance
with as sprightly an air as they did at twenty one; which
shews the great advantage of a plain way of living, while
many who live after a luxuriant manner, are of puny
constitutions, and their days contracted.
