MELANCHOLY DEATH OFAPOOR
> DEBTOR.
; The Infamous barbarity to which a
poor man not able TO discharge a p%ecuni-
5 ary obligation is liable. at the hands Of a
e s~oulless creditor, where the law for i'm.
prisonment for debt prevails, is painfully
c illustrated bv the following tragic occur
o renee in Boston. And yet such a law
still blackens the statute book of Mary,
land. We certainly should make haste
TO blot it out, for such a power should
10 not remain for a day in the reach Of the
vindictive or sordid Bali. Sun.
