II ia rare we meet with people, who do not,
in some measure, sympathize with tue poor.

WHY THAT MAN DIED IN JAIL.

The Jail was large, gloomy-ooking build

iron bars fastened across them. But the in
side was most gloomy. 1t was divided int
very small rooms, only FIVE feel wide, and
eight long. Each room had cross-barred
iron door, with strong bolts and locks, and
when the jailor opened or shut the door, the
hinges grated fearfuly on the ear.
In one of the rooms of tho Jail was young
man about twenty-eight years old. He had
bsen found guilty OF making and passing bad
money, and the judges said he must 50 to the

he was tired, he could go home and lay his
