anything and diil no'even attend the
funeral. The remains were interred
Sunday in a pauper's grave. Such treat

past may have been, it would seem that
Christianity and common humanity
would have prompted any relative pos
sessed of (me spark of kindred feeling
to have at least come to the bedside of
his own brother. Such inhuman action
will receive its own reward.
