A FAMOUS SONG.
How abide With Me" Came to Be
Written.

Henry Francis Lyle, author OF that
%natchless composition, "Abide With
Me-" for twenty years was a sufferer
from consumption. During this time
he was the minister over a parish
composed largely Of hsherfolk in a
coast town Of England. He labored
faithfully among his people, yet he al
ways longed to do something that
would have an influence for the good
OF humanity after his dearh-a long
ing which found expression in a beat
tiful poem. The story of how this
desire came to be fulfilled through
writing "Abide With Me" is related
in the Delineator in an interesting
paper bv Allan Sutherland, giving the
history and manc Of the famous
hymn.
"In the autumn of 1847 his physl-
clans informed Nj. Lyle that it would
be necessary for him to rellnqulsh his
work and spend the winter in italy.
When the last Sabbath Of his stay in
England. Sept. 5, 1847, arrived he de-
terr1ined to preach once more to his
little flock and to celebrate with them
tie Lords supper. In spite of the
protest OF friends. he carried out his
Intentions. although scarcely able to
stand in tn: ~chancel. In words OF
melting tenderness he pleaded with
his people to lead holy lives, and when
he took his leave Of them there was
scarcel, a dry eye in the church. The
dav had been we'll nigh perfect, and
III he late afternoon, recovering
somewhat from the strain Of the sH-
vice in the church, he walked slo".y
and feebly down the terraced WAX
20 he water he Lived so we'll AMI
which he was b ut to leave forever.
The spell OF the hour was upon the
minister. While the bright sun-''
colors faded into the sober grayS Z:
twilight he slowly made his way br,H
10 the house in prayerful silence and
went to mis- room. When he joined
his family a little later he bore in his
hand the words that were destined TO
move thousands. His prayer had
been answered. His last evening in
his olu home had produced that which
will be I blessing so long as the heart
turns to it's Maker for help in times
Il need.

STONE in the BLADDER

Quickly Dissolved and Removed With"
out Danger by Warmers Safe Cure,
Stonein the bladder is one form Of kidney
trouble-a sign that the kidneys + so dis
eased that they are no longer able to remove
all the uric acid and other poisonous waste
matters out Of the blood.
The uric acid accumulates IN the bladder
and forms into little Jumps OF stones, which
pass away from time to time in the urine. 1t
they are at all large they seriously injure the
delicate tissues of the urinary organs, causing
Inflammation, great weakness, and not infre-
ouently convulsions and death.
When the gravel becomes so large that it
cannot be passed the uric acid backs up
through the blood, poisons the whole system,
and the sufferer dies in terrible agony. -.
There is'only one way to prevent uric acid
poison, and this is to dissolve the gravel with
out delay and get it out Of the system bytak-
ing Warmers Safe Cure, the only medicine
that can be taken with safety.

END OF THE ROMANCE.
The Two Sides Of An Unfortunate
And Somewhat Unsavory
Affair.

Orangeberg, April 23.-Dr. Kenyon
". Willard has been lodged IN the
Jail of this county by commitment Oh
Magistrate C. P. Brunson, OF this
city. under the charge OF blgamy'
pending the preliminary examination.
The date of the preliminary has been
set for the eth instant, and unless
the defendant can secure q good ana
sufficient bond in the sum Of $500 he
viii have to remain in jail until the
preliminary. II a prima tac1e case IS
made out against DR.. Mlllard at the
preliminary he will be held tor trial
al the approaching term Of the court
OF general sessions. otherwise the case
1ui,l be dismissed and he will be dis
charged from custody.
Mr.. R. L. Weeks, attorney at law OF
ST. Georges anne to Orange0urg
and had a consultation with Solicitor
HIdebrand in regard to the case. 1t
IS not expected that there will be any
further important developments Il the
case before next Thursday. the day OF
the preliminary. Mrs. Rice. Of Den
mark, the sister Of Miss Kenyon. or
Mrs. Willard, came to Orange6urg,
and both of them left for Denmark.
It is said that the contention OF the
prosecution is that the wife claimed
to be the divorced one is Number l.,
and that there is a wife Number Z,
while Miss Kenyon is wife Number 8.
1t is reported that letters were found
in the trunk of Dr.. Willard, which he
left at St. George, that supplied this
information, and it was upon this in
formation that the prosecution OF DR..
Willard for bigamy was determined
upon- The place of residence of the
second wife or the particulars con-
corning her have not been disclosed
to the public. 1t will be necessary
for this undivorced wife to be pro-
duced, or the fact OF the marriage to
De proven by witnesses, in order to
make out such a case that will hold
the defendant for trial under the
charge.
It is understood to be the contention
OF the defendant that he has been pre-
-yious1y married, which was a number
of years ago, but that a divorce was
regularly and legally granted, and the
marriage between him and his hrst
wife was thus set aside. Then his
marriage to Miss Kenyon was legal
aud regular, and he is guilty Of no
wrong-doing. If the latter position is
sustained the defendant will be releaS-
ed from custody and permitted to go
his way in peace
Feeling in St. George.
st. George. April 23.-Further de-
weloements in the Millard incident
75zeve as interesting as those that
have already transpired. Mr.. Millard
is new being held at Orangeburg,
where he was arrested. pending the
securing of evidence as to his d.
worce.
Miss Kenyon has returned to her
home here, broken down.: 1t is ru-
mored that Mr.. Willard will also re-
turn if he be released. He and he on
~ must be the judge OF the prudence
OF this, Tor the community is highly
wrought up over his actions.
Miss Kenyon is one of the most Gull
tured and refined Of the young ladies
mere, and her friends sympathize with
her and feel that she is the victim OF
IAN unworthy man.
