and the doctor sough, the plaster; but,
strange to say, it had disappeared. The
doctor and tile negro nurse searched high
and low, in every probable place for the
missing plaster, but in vain; ii was gone,
no one could tel where. The nurse had

as a destitute and poverly-stricken people.

the men were almost without garments.

while The barbarian, their husband, walk

looked TO see the brute get in the cart and
be hauled by his wives but for shame,
if indeed he is capable of such feeling,
he did not, so long as We observed him.
