great obligations, which l am happy here
20 acknowledge; 1 mean the steam
bOatmen of Arkansas. While I have
nsver suggested or asked any indulgence
by reason Of my GRAND, they have ha-
bituslly treated me as a guest rather
than a passenger. Travelling so msnv
thousands of miles annually, the heavy
expense would have illterdicted many a
visitation but for the liberality of q class
of men babituslly generous. Alas! that
as 8 class they are so cut off from re-
ligious privileges. I have often thought

will labor to reconcile by tbs employ
ments OF river men with a just observ-
aDce of the day Of rest"
