half of the 19th century in "modern Athens." This is one
of them :—" Here was a boy who had been found lying on
straw in a dark cellar which had literally nothing in it but
this one heap of straw. The parents were in the habit of
going out for the day and locking up the child there with-
out food or fire or clothes. He was brought in a mere
bundle of rags, quite paralysed, and lay for a week ma ono
of the hospital beds without stirring or speaking, till they
almost thought he was deaf and dumb. At last he did
matter out one word, and it was whisky He afterwards
tried in his wretched, faint voice, to begin singing a whisky
song. He told the nurse ho had hardly tasted anything but
whisky since he was born. Somehow his wretched mother
found him out and came to Eeo him. Immediately after
she left, the miserable little creature was caught hiding its
wizened face and half-paralysed hands under the bedclothes,
trying to undo the cork of a small bottle filled with whisky I
But the child recovered, learned to feed on and enjoy other
food than grams, and has left the hospital for a future of—
God knows what, Still, the life has been saved so far."
THE SHAMROCK on the coins is the wood-sorrel :
this is the plant represented on a monument in Sligo
Cathedral ; and there is the testimony, not merely of poets,
but of serious writers, that the " shatnrogges" were eaten.
Natives of the West Highlands of Scotland call both the
wood-sorrel and the _Dutch clover, snamrog.
