Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Orphan´s Souvenir: A Rochester Book, in Aid of the Rochester Orphan Asylum Society, in some respects, proceeds upon the principles of mutual Insurance, inasmuch as the absolutely destitute can claim the bare necessaries of life from those who are more prosperous. The promptings of humanity and the requirements of law, alike impel us to make this imperfect compensation for the inequalities of fortune. This charity or justice is, in many cases, however, administered somewhat grudgingly, from the conviction that abject want is more commonly the deserved punishment of vicious or criminal habits, which a judicious humanity would relieve only just so far as was necessary to preserve life and give time for repentance. In such cases, the warmer emotions of the heart are mingled with sterner considerations of what is due to vice or crime; but in the case of the helpless orphan, justice itself relaxes the severity of her frown, and permits all the gushing sympathies of our nature to pour forth unrepressed.
