4 TALE OF CRIME AND SoGRoN.--
Names are omitted. A. b. a respectable
farmer Of tie State OF New York, had
been married about five wears. No chit
.drrn had been born as the fruit of that
marriage. Last Spring he proposed to
emIgra,c to Illinois and provide Tor him-
self western home His wife being IN
an Invalid state. it was arranged that she
should be lclt At the Water Cure establish
mcnl IN Cleveland, while he went Tor
ward to pioneer the way, and prepare Il
pleasant and comfortable home for the re-
ccprion Of his wife. On he went, while
his wife remained in Cleveland.
G.. D. had been an inmate of his famI-
" in New York. lie, and the wife Of
A. B. came to Ravenna, and took lodg-
iugs as man and wife in private board
. ing house.
Months passed away. The injured
husband sent money, from time 10 time
to paw, as he supposed, his wiie's charges
at the Water Cure establishment. This
money the guilty parties contriycd 10 re-
ceive from Cleveland, and actually lived
upon the bounty Of confding, faithful
husband.
At length the iarhess wife was pros
waie upon a bed of sickness. Death
stared her in the face, and the shadow Of
great and unrcvealeG sorrow seemed 10
rest upon her. Whether mental or bodi-
~ anguish were most severe could not
easily be told She told her attendant
that &. ID. was The cause Of her early
death, but told no more. She repelled
him from her bed side forbid his near ap-
proacb, and could not endure his presence
IN her last days. Often she bcsought
her attendaa; not 10 leave the room, as
she had something she wished 10 say 10 her.
But she could not summon the courage 10
say it, and that something remained I'm
said. She died encienfe. As far as she
was concerned, the terrible secret Of her
fall and ruin was buried with her.
In due time the husband returned ia,
Cleveland, traced his wife 10 Ravenna,and
came here but to learn her shame and
death and lis own dlshonOr. lie visited
her grave, and as he dropped tear to tho
memory Of their early love, he exclaimed.
"For this my weary pilgrimage was made"
He returned 10 the western home which
he had provided for her he logcd--a homo
now dark and desolaIe, ,uEi.lumined by tic
light Of love.
The seduccr still lives. Gods aveng-
ing rLunderJoIls have not yet stricken
