IN a late number of what is called the Christian Index, (a significant name, inasmuch as that paper often points at christians, as Ishmael did at Isaac, although it never pursues ‘the Christian course,) we find a kind of illegitimate article, having no one to father it; and being disowned by its progenitor, it is cast upon the hospitality of the editors of the pointer, with instructions for them to take in the little foundling, or let it die unnoticed and unmourned, as they may choose; but rather than expose the author, let it die. The humane editors have adopted the little nondescript, and being highly gratified, desire more of the same brood.
