\ CASE OF CONSCIENCE - Some years
ago iii Maine village young lawyer hung
out his shingle. For convenience We may
call him Nrbber. he Was of social turn,
and his Office speedily became 4 sort ot head
quarters for the good fellows Of the neigh
| borhood. About two miles UP tie river
lived IN Old farmer who was commonly
known as 'Old Alfred, or .. Uncle Alfred.
He was a character, with well-depeioPed
taste for ardent spirits and a chreric indis-
position to pay his bills The young lawyer
wGs popular, and the stOreaeepers Of the
village sent him the bills which they could
not collect Thus 1t happened that many
little accounts agains: Old Alfred came into
young Webbers hands for collection. The
old man would never pay until he was sued,
and then would make vOciferous complaints
! He acc.sed the young lawyer OF grinding
| the face OF the poor, and rallied vigorously
against being compelled to lay. His visits
were special occasions OF delight TO the wags
| who frequented the Office, as a lively discus
sion always ensued over payment OF bill
costs. One day Webber had three bills
against the old man, one of which he had
sued, about one he had written letter, and
| the third had Just come IN Uncle Alfred
came to see about the one he had been sued,
and, after prolonged and animated debate,
| paid it. Then Webber suggested 10 him the
propriety of paying the one about which the
letter had been sent, and thus saving the ex-
pense OF a writ. The old man demurredfor
a while, but finally settled that, and then
remarking In 4 conclusive tone, g hope
I've got through with you now, prepared
to GO "Well, 10, said Weber, I've got
another little bill here which perhaps you d
Ike to look at before you go" This was too
much for the old man, and be broke into a
torrent of objurgations. After he had be-
come little calm, Webber remarked, In his
blandest tone, ''Uncle Alfred, l VIII make
you proposition If you will for the next
two hours go around the streets here, mingle
with the groups Of the people on the streets
and in the stores, and lead the conversation
to such point that You can remark to them
that young Webber Is very clever fellow.
| Will discount to yOu 81 80 or this bill. y
| Old Alfred almost lost his breath at this
modest proposal He wanted the 81 80 bad,
but when he realized what he was TO do for
it, his heart sank He said impressively,
esquire Webber, Tn a very old man, and
have done many wicked things In nay life,

This trial might sometimes prove illusory,
and therefore the creditor usually makes
sure that the fastening of the debtor is real
by cutting off his supplies. This kind Of
clherma, employed by troops against their
paymaster, or tine prime minister, or the
sovereign himself. has often been effectual
in obtaining their arrears Of pay. In America
