1 theIr TatIlnES enter nOt2lDtO their own dark
 cheerless cabins. They may look upon the bouneous gifts of the soil they till, but to all
 their other senses these luxur:es are denied.
 But by far the most painful scenes have
 witnessed, are in crowds of wretched poor who surround and beleaguere strangers, im- ploring charity in all forms and by every
 gesture of application. The coach, when-
 ever it stops, is beset by the miserable and tue maimed, whose piteous appeals for rec llet would melt steel or adamant. Nor ar0 these cases of unreal suffering. Their dis tress is as appalling as their supplications | are eloquent; and the bestowal of penny, or eyeE n "hait penny," confers so much happiness that it is a luxury 10 give it. At one place, after my copper coin was exhais- ] ted. half dozen wreichcd women, in whose ] faces wantAand sickness had made deep fur
 rows, were sosimportunate that told them couldsgiys them no more for tho want of change. In reply, they said Eff you can l spare us sixpence we will divide it among | ourselves" One of them received ihesa bit, got it changed, and, as the coach was siart- ing they all came, penny in hand, tosgive
 me their blessing. If, as believe, these aims go to feed the furnishing and destitute in their squalid novels, it is a cheap way of
 mitigating hafnan misery.
 In the muG-built and poverty stricken villages through which we pass, rude signs
 are almost as frequent as in our own more tsvored ones Lodgings invite the traveller
 into at least dozen doors, in places contain ing not more than thrice as many cabins, and these so far as could judge, at the best, re- Ijoice in but two apartments, where man and
 beast bestow themselves promiscuously.-
