that it shall not be revived and
that all laws for the collection of debts
be abolished after a given period, say
FIVE years. We thus dispense with
two thirds Of thocost Of maintaing courts
and sherif's and juries aud clerks. and
integrity becomes the sole basis Of
credit. The non-paymeut of a just

euaured, bravely and cheerfully al
the hordships and p%rivations of the cam

His generous heart and noble bearing.
has endeared him to each and every
membero of his company; truly may it be
said, none saw him but to praise him,
none knew him but to love him-no one
could have fallen whose loss could have
been more depiored. We miss thee,
noble friend. when round tie rustic
board We meet, or when gathered in
social converse round our rude camr
fires, thy joyous laugh and cheerful
voice is no more heard. Our hearts
are sad, gloomy and melancholy, for one
loved one is absent, and VIC caunot heir

thy noble image is enshrined within the

as life endures. And when history.
summing up the gallant spirits, who
have fallen martyrs to our glorious canse,
shall award TO each his merited renown,
thy name though fighting in an humble

as one, who nobly fell, with the cry O
victory in bis ears, whilst pressing on

Oh our country. W. L. Ii.
