When all had been restored to consciousness, the priests came forward, and, in solemn mock ery, threw themselves down before the altar in pretended prayer. After a little while they arose, and, ascending a platform that had been THE FIRST OF THE RED MEN. 199 erected on one side of the altar, the high-priest said, "Sons and daughters of Moloch, we have once more met to perform that great, that solemn duty which we owe to our mighty god!
" My heart bleeds, and these tears, that I am not ashamed t...o shed, are witnesses to the sin cerity of my grief; but duty compels me to stifle the emotions of my heart. These virgins, who have been found worthy to become a sacrifice to the great Moloch, are themselves the cause of their present affliction : they have lived so that they have become unworthy to live among us, and therefore our merciful god has chosen them for his own, as he in his greatness would disdain to possess what man had enjoyed before him.
" But, whatever else may have been the con duct of these maidens, they are daughters, and have never been remiss in their filial duties ; and it is in behalf of their afflicted parents that my heart bleeds, that these tears are shed.
