Back to the Old Love.

A gentleman, living in Burncrstown,
Jefferson County. KY, married lady
of the same neighborhood about twenty
five years ago. After living together
four or Ave years, they separatd on ac-
count Of Incousanguinity OF temper, and
the husband received divorce. A
couple Of years after the divorce both
parties again married.
The husband, however, az in the case
of the first marriage, did not get on
pleasantly with the second wife. and in
a couple OF years after the second mar
risge he applied to the Chsncery Court
for a divorce from his wife, and the
coveted divorce was granted, and he
was again free. Then two or three years
more interviewed, when the doubly di-
vorced husband pinned for another wife.
and seeking among the fair women OF
that section OF the country, he finally
succeeded in finding one we'll suited TO
his mind and after short courtship, he
was married to her, thus coming into
possession of his third wife. A few
years later he was divorced from her.
The first wife Of the much divorced
man lived with her second husband
very happily until five or six years ago,
when he sickened and died And now
comes the singular part in the history
OF the widowed wife and her first and
three-times divorced husband. He again
pined for matrimony. and rs he cas-.
about for aaother partner for his declin-
ing years. he bethought himself Of his
first wife. and no sooner had his thought
taken Judgement in his mind than he
hied himself TO the pleasant domicile
she occupied in her @idowhOod. and
proposed that they once more take pas
sage in lifc's boat together.
The old times and the old differences
between them were talked over. and
that the flame Of their first love
was rekindled is not at ell singular, for
do not the poets say that first love is
ever enduring? And so they agreed to
again we'd, and soon thereafter their
nuptials were solemnized. The interven.
ing years have glided peacefully for
them and they live lovingly together
and are not only happy themselves,
but mako all happy who come under
their hospitable roof.
Both parties. and indeed. all the par
ties to the several marriages and divorces
are very respectable people and the
Neans publishes this seemingly series o {
matrimonial episodes only because of
their singularity, defying any other
county in Kentucky or the South to
furnish an equal example of mstrimony
and divorce to the one above narrated.
The trnth Of the matter is just IS valid
as though the name of the parties were
given, but the giving of the names is
neither proper nor important.
