These lines probably fell upon the eyes they
wen' intended lur, aud the history ol an erring

may brieily stated thus: The wooiuij is the

ceiving frequent clandestine visits Inun a man
who pretends to be a phy>iciau. II iw far the
miiioacy progressed is onl) known to the par
ti'-s, but it recently came to the husband's
k.'mwi?.di;e, and he remonstrated with the wile
b r creating a scandal nmntg the neighbors,
lie told her that if she received a vi<it again
from her male friend, unless he was piv.
eui, lie should certainly know it by tele
jL-raph, as he shou'd employ detectives to
watch her. The woman resented the im
putation With spirit, ami the next day
packed lor trunk and started lor the into

thai she had left him forever and never d. s'red
in see him again. In some way the party whi.-e

bi.e saw her deceiver, and was so affcted by
it'" simple tenderness that her whole plan of life
was altered. The next- afternoon she returned

place without a word. The husband !< und her

.V }. dor. Chicago Tribune.
Mil Kerr a "Liberal Tiiinkeh."?A
c?rr spoiidcut of the Mew York Sun wri
tint in religious matted Mr. Kerr was a libei
a thinker, lie might be said to have been a
ra:iontii<it, accoptiug noihiug which did uoi
bear the impress of probability. Without a
tuiitiug the 'livinity of Jl-sus Obri-.t, he was an
a ivocate of His oode of morals. To be honest
and true and just was in his belief to be a good
V> ri>tian. Eirly oue afternoon lie was visited
by the Rev. Mr. Harris, president of the fc*
ujale s ininary at Staunton, who, with a view
to mounding him as to Ins religious views, ask
Oil, "I hope you arc prepared for a belter lifo
hen alter, Mr. Kerr ?"
l'lie reply was a prompt inclination of the
le nd in the affirmative.
Again the minister asked, "I trust you have
a tii ui filth in the merits of Our Lord aud Sa
v! ur Je.-u- Christ ?"
Alter a m ? in em's he-itatiou, in which lie
rvm-d to be carefully weighing the question,
Mr. K it shook his head slowly. It w sa fine
ii:> iaetion to make, and one worthy of the fine
uiaiyticai mind, which maintained itssuprcma
cy to the last.
Fi j ling ttiat Speaker Kerr could not carry
en a conversation, Mr. Harris promised to prav
i t hiui, to which Mr. Kerr whispered, "I
tliar k you."
f" Mr. Cox's inquiry, whether he was con
tent to die, be nood d a trai:quil assent.
A few days before his death Mr. K rr hid
;?c uvcrsation with his sou, in the course ol
widen he said 1 have nothing to have you,
tuy .-t.u, i xecpt my good name. Guard it and
v >ir mother's honor, and live as L iivod." Ho
i tvi's very little of this world's goods?not
t'l) ?uirlj to .-upply his family with a living. In
tiie s>me conversation he further said :?"Pay
?? tuy debts, if my estate wili warraut it wall
it leaving your mother peuoihss; otherwise,
P'.V what you can, and then go to my creditors
?:i: te i them I he tru'li, and pledge your hon
