The first girl married was plain Bessie Brown,
A sunny and silly sweet thing,
Who simpered and sighed at being bride
And wearing a wedding ring.
The next was a widow, Mrs. Malone,
With seven small boys in her brood.
I married this widow for money alone.
I needed the money for food.
The next one welded was Alice Adair.
A beauty of fortune and worth.
She lived but year-too gentle, too dear,
Altogether too fragile for earth
I married German then - Gretchen Won
Schmidt.
Two hundred and forty she weighed
Oh, she was a cook Not much on the look,
But a wife who was stolid and staid.
married another A negress was she,
Her mother broken down slave.
She was tidy and neat, some distance from
sweet,
But she was wife who could save.
I then married Mollie, q sister Of nine
As a wife she was queen of them all.
She had lots Of children and troubles and Joys
And her home was a paradise hall.
I married my mother. a widow, and then
I welded my brother. a man.
] married Smith daughters then-six be-
Geve-
And III marry six more If can.
A biEamist? II Wen. what do you thinkq
married these people for gold.
For I am a minister humble and meek,
And they are all lambs Of my fold.
