A young woman, who was in service at a large inn in England, observed a traveler drop from his pocketbook a pound note. She picked it up, and consulted with her fellow servants, whether she should return it to the owner. They laughed at her scruples, and told her to keep it; which she agreed to. In the course of time, she was settled in the world, having married a successful businessman; and the occurrence of the theft appeared to be forgotten. But after she had been married a few years, she fell into a deep decline. In this state, she was awakened to a sense of her sins. She became, through grace, a sincere penitent; and was deeply impressed with the value of true Christianity. She sometimes felt its comforts; and found that peace of God in the mind which passes all understanding.
