STREET BEaGARs. are requested by
many citizens to call attention to the number
Of children, girls and boys, who are going
about the streets begging, and many of whom,
it is believed, are sent out by unworthy per-
sons, to collect money forimproper uses. These
children are old enough to be put to work, to
earn their living, and ought not to be tutored
by street begging in the ways of vice
