There are two persistent beggars in the vicinity of Glenealy who are by no meaus ornaments of their profession. Sometimes you see quite picturesque figures, and realise that there is something almost reverent in the manner in which the head is bowed low and in the mute appeal for aims. But these two seem to be subject to all the physical imperfections extant which they exhibit, as one passes to and fro. Just before tiffin you are faced with the stumps of a former leg and arm, and exposed portions of the body which, in addition to being imperfect, are al alien to water, and the relish which you possessed for the dinner delicacies is by no means improved. Of course one's heart aches for the deformed and diseased who have to beg their bread, but these two un- fortunates should be made to beg decently at any rate, Without their continual exhibitions, the deformities would be obvious, and would touch the heart and explained things the beggars would doubt- the pocket of the passer-by.
