On Monday sad spectacle was present.
ed in the city of New York of two poor
Indian girls, who were wandering through
the most crowded part Of the city in state
fin,oxcation, followed by a crowd of boys,

and goaded on the unfortunate creatures,
who seemed conscious Of their condition
and wished to escape their tormentors.---
Their efforts were in vain. How pregnant

the lords Of the ground on which their des-
cendants were thus mairested by the scum

loway has, with no weapon but that Of Sci

His meritorious career is bounded by no
imaginary lines of latitude and longitude
short OF those marking the confines OF civil

there he has penetrated with his medicines,

ton. After enlightening Europe, his fame
spread over Asia and the civilized portions
of Africa, and finally appeared in America
He has translated the cures he has perform
ed and the virtues of his medicines into as
many languages as the missionaries have

most dcspotic, have been forced by the
great value OF his medicines, and their pop

introduction Of foreign medicines, and open
their custom houses to a free Introduction
