The Much Married.

It is usually considered a noteworthy
circumstance for man or woman to
have been married three times, but of
old this number would have been
thought little of. ST. jerome mentions
a widow that married her twenty secon
husband, who In his turn had been mar
ried to twenty-five wives-surely an ex-
perienced couple. A woman named
Elizabeth Mai, who died at Florence,
1853, had been married to seven hus-
bands, all of whom she outliyed She
married the last of the seven at the age
of 20. When ON her death-bed she re-
called the good and bad points of each
of her husbands, and, having impartIally
weighed them in the balance, she singled
out her fifth spouse as the favorite, and
desired that her remains might be in
tered near his. The death of soldier
is recorded in 1874, who had five wives
and his widow, aged 80, wept over the
grave of her fourth husband. The
writer who mentioned these facts vainly
added: "The said soldier was much
attached to the married state. {" There
is an account Of a gentleman who vas
married to four wives and lived to be
lis years old When he died he left
twenty-three "children alive and well,
some Of said children being three to
four score. A gentleman died at Bor-
deaux, in 1772, who had been married
sixteen times. In July, 1858, couple
were living in Essex who had been mar
ried ninety-one years, the husband be-
ing LOT and the wife 103 years of age.
At the church of st. Clement Danes, in
1772, a woman of Sc was married to her
sixth husband.
