Case of Conscience.--A Wilkes Barre paper
publishes the following of pricked conscience
"P. McC. Gllchrist, ESQ., received letter dated
St. Louis, May 3, 1867, of the following purport :
off Mr. Gilchrist, who was an agent, or had soMe-
thing to do with line OF stages running out OF
Wilkes Barre Pa, in 1881 or 1882, will send his
present address to Rev. P T. Ryan, st. Louis, NO.
he will confer a favor"
After some besitation Mr. Gilchrist returned pro-
per answer in an addressed envelope received with
the strange note. In return came the following:
"Sr. LOUIS Mo-, May 22, 1867,
'P McC GfLCHRIsT, EsQ.-Enclosed please md,
ten dollars sent to you by one who wronged you OUT
of that amount, and desires to make atonement."
If this man who had wronged Hotel keeper and
Stage proprietor, out Of only $40, in money, could
not appease the gnswings Of conscience ; and feel
that he could safely pass to that undiscovered coun-
try from whose bourne, traveller returns, without
first paying the debt how dangerous must be the
condition of him who chea is country editor out OF
a half dozen years of newspapers. What sad and
pttiful object must be, when the scorpion pangs
of remorse seize upon his guilty soul Let such as
are in danger, make haste to save themselves from
this terrible doom-this swift coming day Of retribu-
ton.
