Married After Fifty Tears.

An oldman came to Jefferson, Ga., worn and bent, and began to make inquiries for some of the older families of the place. He said that he had left there in 1837, being then eighteen, and had never b fore returned. The cause of his departure was the preference shown by Jessie Carmichael for a young neighbor named Edward Toomer. He went into the new country of Ohio, married, raised a large family, and became one of the patriarch of his section. Lately his wife died, and a great desire came over him to see the people whom he had known in youth. The old man was told that the girl whom fie had loved was nbw Toomer’s widow. He at once went to see her and tne next day tfiey were married.
