A Case of Conscience.

One Of the editors Of this paper, few days
ago, received fifty cents principal, and several
dollars interest, from an old friend who stated
in his letter that more than thirty-two years
ago he had wronged him out Of the principal.
That conscience slept long time, but it woke
up at last, and if we had room and time, we
should like to make it the basis for pointing
a moral and then spend the amount with
our friend in the old way.

a Quandary.

Hartford, Connecticut, is puzzling itself over
the merits Of this legal case, Just come to light
there. \ man Who died lately, leaving a
handsome property and childless widow,
but then encieute, left also a WILL duly execu-
ted, in which it was provided that if the expect
cd child should be boy, two-thirds Of tho
property should 50 to him. and one-third to
the widowed mother. Ii however, the child
proved to be a girl, only oue-tLird Of the es-
tate was to 90 to her, and the two-thirds to
the mother But the widow has become the
mother Of twins and, what greatly heightens
tue perplexity Of the case, the twins are boy
and q girl, aud the lawyers are in aquandary
to know what they shall do about lit
change.
IA writer IN the Richmond Dispatch solves
the problem, viz; The husband intended the
son should have double the amount of the
mother, aud the mother double the amount of
The daughter. Although there are both son
aud a daughter, the case stands the same. We
will say, then, his estate is worth S0,54l. In
order to carry out the above provisions Of his
viii, the daughter would receive one seventh
Of the estate, which is $l,3GS; the mother
wJuld receive twice the amount Of the daugh-
te7. or s., 70; tie son four times the amount
Of the daughter or double the mothers, So
453 total, S9,5lI.
