The Beggars of Russia.

The Russian summer calls innumer.
able peasant beggars and country paupers
to Moscow. In the day time they explore
the city from gate to gate. hating from
time to time to beg aims, or munich the
fragments of black bread which form the
chief spells of their diurnal quest Many
women of this class are young and robust,
fresh from the labors OF the field; but
some are old, infrm, haggard All trudge
along with the aid of staff, ard all
wear rude canvas bag tied around the
neck. At night, long after the last vesper
has died away, when the White Town is
deserted, and the suburban residences are
gay with lights, with music, and with the
laughter OF happy men and women, this
vast army of the penniless and the miser-
able seeks its nocturnal repose, Heaven
alone knows where-on the forsallen field
of the days markets, in the open air, on
the steps Of churches and cathedrals or in
