A writer in the Davenport 7ribun
moralizes as follows:
The deckhand who fell from his ham
mock last Friday and injured himsel
died last night Who cares Whatdi
he amount to anyway? Was there
, single member Of any foreign missionar
society in this city who paid the poe
wretch visit ? We published the fat
. that he was lying at the Lafayett
! House. What Christian lady in tn
, city took this dying man q bouquet
, flowers. or went to see il a letter migt
be written to mother, u wife or daugt
ter? What does religion consist OF
: these latter days? There is Dothin,
; absolutely nothing, OF the. We wer
, going to speak Of the great Master
work on earth, but we forbear. Thel
: are three or four aristocratic Christia
clubs, called churches, in this city, an
we say it not to their shame onl.
/, but to our own, that this stranger diet
unheeded, as a brute. He was only
roustabout: nothing more.
