Husband and Wife Rejoined After Two Separations.

The human memory is a peculiar faculty—as peculiar, perhaps, in forgetting anything as in remembering it. The many vicissitudes of life through which a man is whirled almost cause him to forget the early thrashings of his youth. The following circumstance is a very peculiar one: Years and years ago, before the guns of North and South thundered and broke the Eceof the two sections, a man named ywood Wilson, living in this State, married a girl whose Christian name was “Annie,” but whose other name is not, for some unknown reason, preserved among the fruit-jars of memory. Having lived tojgether several years a quarrel ensued which resulted in a suit for divorce. A divorce being granted, the parties went thgir way. Several years afterwards they again met, and, strange |to say, neither knew„ the other. Becoming they fell in love, or, as Bulwer says, rose into it. A proposal of marriage was made and accepted. The parties again lived together for severalyears, so unhappily at last that a suit was entered and granted. No children had been born to the marriage, and it did not cause very much trouble for the ?irties to pick up their traps and leave. ears passed on as years generally do, and the parties met again, this time after the great revolution. Becoming infatuated with each other courtship and marriage followed. This time they lived with each other until recently, when, from another complaint, Mr. F. E. Bridges, of this city, brought suit for the man. Suddenly, and by an almost simultaneous awakening, the parties discovered that they had thrice been married. Why they did not discover it sooner is more than the Court or any one else can tell. They will now, probably, live apart the rest of their lives, as the third failure should prove to them that there is something very uncongenial in their [Little Rock (Ark ) Gazette.
