extended his labors a little further and interpreted the meaning of the word isdluted, which blooms like an oasis amidst the common-place language by which it •has been surrounded. Candidly, then, the Native dodge was. a grand flcuco, and. if the deputation are, under the impresgion they have hoodwinked old Mac., I am afraid they are «?dly mistaken. "The 'best laid -schemes of mice arid ifae'ri gang oft'aglee;" arid the imposing picture of the Unsophisticated Child of "Nature coming forward as a spontaneous witness to' the- righteousness of their ckims was, alas, rudely .demolished, through the palpable exhibition . of Christian selnshness.
