A Case of Con. cience

Some years ago in a Maine village not hun
dred miles from Waterville, young lawyer
hung out his single and entered hopefully up
on the practice Of his chosen profession. For
convenience We may call his name Weber, He
was of social turn and his office speedily be-
came sort of headquarters for the wags and
good fellows of the neighborhood, and many
were the jokes and drolleries there concocted.
About two miles up the river lived an old
farmer who was commonly known as "Old Al
fred or ''Uhcle Alfred" He was charac-
ter with we'll developed taste for ardent spir-
its and chronic indlspostion to pay his little
bills. The young lawyer was popular with his
neighbors and the storekeepers of the village
sent him all their bills which they could not
collect. Thus it happened that many little &C
counts against Old Alfred came into young
Webber's hands for collection. The old man
would never pay until he was sued and then
would make vociferous complaints. He ac-
cused the young lawyer of grinding the face of
the poor and rallied vigorously against being
compelled to pay. His visits were special
occasion of delight to the wags who frequented
the office, as lively discussion always ensued
over payment of bill and c)sts One day Web
Der had three bills against the old man, one
of which he had sued, about one he
had written a letter, aud the third had
just come in. Uncle Alfred came to see about
the one which had been sued, and, after pro-
longed and animated debate, paid it, Then
Weber suggested to him the propriety of pay
ing the one about which a letter had been sent,
and thus saving the expense Of writ. The
old man demurred for while but finally set.
tied that, and then remarking In a conclusive
tone II hope I've got through with you now,"
prepared to 60. ''Well, no." said Weber, &C.
ing to his safe, "Pve got another little bill
here which perhaps you'd like to look at before
you CO." This was too much for the old man
and he broke into torrent of objurgations.
After he had become little calm, Weber re-
marked in his blandest tone "Uncle Alfred,
will make you proposition. If you will for
the next two hours 60 around the streets here,
mipgle in the various groups of people on the
streets and in the stores and lead the converse
ton to such point that you can remark to
them that young Weber is very clever fell
low will discount to you dollar and half on
this BILL" Old Alfred paused aghast and almost
lost his breath at this modest proposal, He
wanted the dollar and a half bad, but when he
realized what be was expected to do for it, his
heart sank He said impre ssively, Squire
Weber, Pm very old man and have done
many wicked things in my life; but acith mig
vieUs of eternity 1 can't lie like that for mon
ey." 1t is needless to say that the dollar and
half was discounted without compelling the
old man to outrage his tender conscience.

PrOul's Neck,

Of the many beautiful localities in this vcin-

groves and magnificent beach at Old Orchard,
nor the rocky headlands OF the Cape, surpass
in natural beauty the little peninsula in Scar

glad to say not few visitors, as PIout's Neck.
Who Mr.. Prout may have been. when he died,
Or how his name became connected with the
place, is not known. The place on the Neck
has been for may years a favorite resort for
Portland people, who have been accustomed to
drive out and regale themselves with the cum
ners which the Libbys so we'll know how to
cook; but, owing to the absence of large hotels
and the continuous rush to the more fire.
quented watering places, Prouts Neck has
never been so widely known as it deserves
The comparative quiet of the place has indeed
been, in the minds of most visitors, one of its
greatest charms. The natural attractions of
this charming spot are thought by many upe-
qualled in this vicinity, combining, as they do,
the beauties and pleasures of rugged rocks.
smooth beach, woods, and unrivalled facilities
for boating and fishing. No shreking locomo-
tive reminds the weary merchant that railroad

look in alarm for children. The seductive vic.
lin has no charm for a large class of summer
visitors. who are not fond of having sweet sleep
as ruthlessly murdered ag by Tragedy land still
larger class enjoy the freedom from fuss and
feathers found at Prouts Neck. For the last
few years the meek has been favorite re-
sort for such, and we feel assured that the pub
lie will appreciate the many Improvements now
being made. Mr.. John Kaler, lately of the
Kirkwood, has nearly completed large two
story boarding-hou which is intended to ac-
commodate about fifty guests. Mr.. Kaler has
had large. experience, and knows well how to
care for visitors Capt Silas Libby has been
making great Improvements in his house, hay
ing added twelve feet to each end aud seven
feet in front. Capt Lbby's place is so well
known that we have no doubt his increased &C.
commodations will be taxed to the utmost.
Beyond the old houses Mr.. Thomas Libby has
built large house, which he intends to fit up
in first class shape. The rooms are large and
we'll lighted, and all command fine water
view. The arrangement of the office, paror
and dining hall is admirable A piazza has
