About twenty ycara ago there live'*
in central Michigan a curio 1
Benedict named Dodsworth.
age ol 50 he married a girl of
-when the burden of 60 years bore
him down his wife was only bait his
age. Dodsworth was noted for his
peculiarities, but the climax came
when he found himself on his dying
bed. He was worth about $30,000,
and he hadn’t a blood relative living,
so for as he knew. He wanted to
leave his property'to his wife, as.the
pair had lived very happily, but yet
he could not leave it withont display
ing some of his peculiarities in the
provisions of the will. Some old men
display a mean spirit when making
their wills and draft in a provision
cutting the wife off with a shilling, if
she marries again. This old
wasn’t of that stamp. His young
wife was good looking, vivacious,
fond of society, and it was folly to
suppose she would mourn for her
‘‘late departed” any great length of
time. Therefore Mr. Dodsworth
turned heel on the usual custom and
said in his will:
“ In case my wife Celia doer, not
take unto herself another husband
within thirteen months from date of
my burial ail bequests otherwise
made in this will are to revert to the
State of Michigan, to be used for
building and furnishing a home for
old women.”
Whether Celia was pleased or dis
pleased at this provision deponent
saith not, but the old man had not
been under the sod more than 6
months when the willow was said to
be looking out for another man. If
it was a singular.for the dying Dods<
worth to urge his wife to marry again,
it wa* still more singular that he
should desire the ceremony to be
performed under the following cir
oumstances, vis.:
“ And it in made incumbent on said
Celia Dodsworth that in.taking s ttew ntau
husband, the marriage ceremonyvshf^
Tie perinrmed in the big barn on my
farm, on tlie H road. It shall take
place at 10 o’clock in the evening, on
the main floor, without lights of any
description, with all doors shut, and a
free invitation shall be extended to
all. The clergyman shall stsnd in
the stables nnd the bride and groom
on the main floor, and the principal
parties to the ceremony shall be dres
sed in black throughout.”
The widow announced her inten
tion to faithfully obey in spirit and
letter, llie will was probated and the
twelfth mouth had scarcely passed
before she issued an invitation for the
public to attend a wedding at the big
barn. Just who the groom was to
be no one could positively assert, as
the widow had been keeping conipa
ny with a widower, a bachelor and
two young men, and ns far as any
outsider could judge she loved one as
well as the other. Being good look
ing and talented and having a for
tune behind her, it was not strange
that she should have a number of
suitors. Siie seemed to enter into the
spirit of the affair with great zest, as
also iliil the minister; and to further
mystify the people in attendance the
bride entered the barn alone at one
door, the grcom alone at; another,
and no one knew that the minister
had arrivrsd until his voice was heard
in the stablos.
There wore at least two hundred
people present, and each one under
stood that even the striking of a
match would break the will. Many
jokes were passed and considerable
confurion existed, but at length the
minister announced that all was rea
dy. The ceremony was gone through
with, and at its conclusion, the affair
having been a “ profound success,’’ a
rush was made for the bride; she was
kissed by » hundred men, and was
then carried home, a distance of a
mile and a half, in a big arm chair.
Now comes the mystery. When
the lady was set down at her own
door the widower, the bachelor and
the two young men each elaimed to
be hor true and lawful husband. None
of the crowd could say who was the
as also did both young u, %
wan sure that be held the
plump hand and was legally married
to her. The four men had a fight,
but that didn’t mend matters. The
crowd ducked two of them in the
creek, but that didn’t decide the
question.
Just how it would have terminated
had not the widower been a man of
nerve no one can tell, as the other
three had already appealed to the
law, when the widower stepped in
and took bis plaee as husband and
settled with the others for $2,000
each.
One of the young men, now over
30 years old, and having all the wife
he wants (she weighs 230 pounds), is
living in J ackson, Mich., and, during
an interview had with him, he sol
emnly and earnestly assured the
writer that lie was legally married
to the Widow Dodsworth that night
the big bain. Another of the
parties lives in Clinton county, and
ho has time and again asserted that
he is the woman’s true and lawful
husband, so help his God. The
bachelor is dead, but were he alive
and kicking he would renew his oft
repeated protestations:
“ I married her, by gum ! and, by
gum, I ought to have her!’’

The .Atlanta Constitution.
Several il iys ago a prominent Ep
iscopal clergyman of this city was
invited to one of the hotels, to inarry
a couple from Canada. They did not
want any witnesses, and they wanted
the ceremony to be about one minute
long. To this the reverend gentlc-
ibjected. Under the laws of
this a. marriage is no^ valid
which is not witiiessea by ’two per
sons. They were procured, and the
couple struck an attitude calculated
to show to advantage an array of fine
clothes, and two rather good-looking
faces, the owners of which wonld (so
tlie marriage certificate stated, never
ace their twenty-sixt birthday again.)
The ceremony ran smoothly until the
pledges were given.
“ I, Kate,” continued the minister,
“ I, Kate,” iihe faltered.
“Take thee, William—’’
“ Take thee, William.’’
“To be my wedded husband—”
“To be my wedded husband.”
“ To have and to hold—”
A smile puckered the couers cf her
inoulh, which was finally extended
in a hearty laugh ; no response. The
minister was astonished at the un
timely exhibition of frivolity ; the
witnesses were highly amused, ami
the would he bride-groom struggled
to retai l his self-possession.
“To have aid to hold,’’ repeated
the minister.
“ To have—Tel he ! lie!’’ and she
hreke down again. A repetition of
the former scene was broken into by
the solemn and commanding voice—
“To have and to hold—”
“ To—” she began ; then indulged
in a frenzy of mirth, which spread to
all but the dignified and chagrined
tier of knots.
“ You think this is a very trivial
matter,” he said sternly, “ hut I fancy
you won’t find it-so funny if you in
tend beginning life together in this
ridiculous manner. I’ve a mind to
punish yon by refusing to complete
the ceremony, but on sesond t ought,
I think it will be better to read yon
a homily and then I will finish that
which I have began, if I have to stay
here till to-morrow morning.’’ "
The homily was delivered, and the
couple, no w quite serious, resumed
their trying positions, aud vr- -*>ilv.
married.
