TSmyrna del Times, I


Benjamin Abbott, one of our old citi-
zens, died in this town Saturday last in
the eighty-second year of his age. He
was nephew of the celebrated Rev. Ben
jamin Abbott, the great Methodist revi-
valist of the early part Of this century,
and came to this State from New Jersey
when young man and settled in the
"Neck" east of this town, where his
active life was mostly spent. But the
notable feature in Mr.. Abbott's otherwise
uneventful life is the remarkable fact of
being the seventh husband Of his widow
who survives him.
This much-talked-of and much-pub-
lished event, (for it went the rounds of
the press of the Nation, when he for the
second and she for the seventh time
bowed before the altar of Hymen oc-
CURED on June Goth, 1875, he then being
seventy and she eighty-two years
old. Mrs. Abbott's history in the marital
relations of life stands perhaps without a
parallel in the records of the country,
and tradition has it there is to be yet
another. 1t is currently stated without
contradiction that some years ago she
had vision in which eight men stood
before her in a peculiarly impressive
manner, which she has ever regarded as
prophetic of the number of conquests she
was to make.
The eighth is just as likely and as
reasonable as the seventh, and already
public gossip is beginning to mark this
and that man as the victim of next con-
quest. Her maiden name was Williams,
and she has been successfully Mrs. Traux,
Mrs Riggs, Mrs. Farrow, Mrs. Wallace,
Mrs. Berry, Mrs. Pratt, and Mrs. Abbott.
In every instance, save the first, she has
married widowers, some of them with a
good number of children, and on one
occasion in her early married life she
went to the alms-house and took there
from three children and raised them.
She never had any children of her own.
All her life has been spent in this vicin-
ity, and all her husbands were buried by
the same undertaken.

SAMARITAN'S GIFT.
YOUNG MEN

Who for the first time have been in trouble,
We would warn against the use of that vile
drug, Balsam Copabia. 1t sickens the stom-
ach, brings on weakness, deranges the kid
neys, and is worthless as a cure; and to
avoid this drug avoid the quack. SAMAR-
ITAN'S GIFT is a positive cure in two OF
three days, without exposure or trouble.
How many suffer for months both body
and mind, all of which could be avoided by
the use OF one package of Samaritan's Gift.

"Only, then you wouldn't see to the
star" said Mr.. Roper, watching his wife's
delight, curiously; "and very likely it
comes on purpose to have peep at
you."
Euphemia was quite absorbed in the
little creature, and watched and waited
Tor every word with strange eagerness.
She had never cared for children before,
and yet Mabel had only to appear, to
take her heart entirely by storm. She
took her on her lap presently, and
played with her long, shining curls, COM
pairing them with her own, appearing to
grudge single second that the child was
out of her sight.
"You seem to have taken wonderful
fancy to Mabel" said Mr.. Roper, who, to
tell the truth, felt rather jealous of this
sudden passionate preference.
Euphemia looked at him and smiled
a very sweet, sad smile.
"She is such a darling! Look at her,
George"
"She will be quite spoilt before night.
Mabel who had been listening intently
to this brief dialougue, shook her head
decidedly.
'Papa always pets me when I am good.
He says it doesn't spoil good girls; he
says, too, the closet is the only place for
naughty ones"
'But you are never naughty, Mabel?"
inquired Euphemia, tenderly.
"Only sometimes. l was naughty the
other day, only l did not mean to be-"

her for my mamma. The people in the
village said she was to be, and | thought

didn't signify now."a
Mr.. Roper had just left the room to
give some orders about his journey, and
the two were alone.

Haven't you asked your papa?"

"NoW
"I do not think he knows himself"
"But he could not help it very well,
love; only, perhaps, the subject is 50
painful he can not bear to talk about it.
Some day, when you are older, / dare
say, he will tell you everything"
"And then l never saw my mamma; SO
it is not so bad, is it?"
"Have you never seen her portrait%
Mabel shook her head.
"There's no pictures in our house. I
like them very much; but papa is too
poor to have fine things. When |
grow up, mean to have faces with gold
frames round them on all the walls, the
same as you've got here; and red velvet
chairs to sit upon, and thirty rooms in
the house, so when it is wet, and can't

So"
"My dear little girl" said Euphemia,
softly, "do you know riches never help
people to happiness?"
~ thought all rich people were happy.

"Who is old MaryY
"She is our housekeeper."
"She is a poor ignorant woman, no
doubt; and having, perhaps, suffered
from poverty herself, fancies that it is
the greatest evil under the sun. If she
had had any real sorrow, however, she
would know better"
Mabel turned suddenly upon Euphe-
mia, with her keen, bright eyes full Of
inquiry.
"Have you ever been unhappyw
"More miserable than any other woman
in the worldp' exclaimed the other, in

against her, and hid her face in the shin
ing curls. "More utterly wretched than
you can, or ever will be able to conceive,
I hope"

murderers would be given up. The in
terror Department has now exhausted ali
its resources. The war, for it will come,

al Drum, said, when asked if he believed
the Utes would be given up: 'No; it is
absurd. The Indians at the council are
as deep in the mud as the others, whom
they propose to deliver, are in the mire.
