The Beggars Garden Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Beggar's Garden In royal closes, the pallid roses Through shine and shower in prison pine, The lilies languish, in passive anguish, And blossoms perish upon the vine; The wan carnation feels a sensation Of vague vexation, or dull despair; On moor, on mountain, By fell and fountain, I own a garden of light and air.

Excerpt from Beggars German does not aspire to these luxuries, and is well satisfied to get the plain diet of his native land - without taking advantage of the offers of a richer country - and to do no work for it. He is not a true beggar either, for he is always ready to do odd jobs, such as fruit or hop picking and potato digging, but is not eager for steady work. Few people would think the Scotsman makes an excellent beggar, seeing that his manner is so undemonstrative. Although he is seldom heard to raise his voice above one distinct pitch, or to indulge in loud laughter, or to Show emotion of any kind, yet, for all this, he is an excellent beggar. There is quite a large clan of Scotties among American beggars. He is a good beggar for the Simple reason that he is a good talker. Almost every Scotch beggar I met in the States of America was inclined to be talka tive, and yet they all managed to conceal their private affairs. Although a Scotsman would be one of the last men to go hungry in a civilized land, yet he must be objected to as a true beggar in that he is avaricious for money, and would immediately take ad vantage of remunerative employment.

Excerpt from Beggars All: A Novel Kent stood between them and introduced the sleeping to the waking man. There was veiled comedy in his manner. Perhaps he had been amused at the simplicity of Gilchrist's self-introduction, and supposed him too stupid to perceive his mockery. My friend whom you see asleep is called Montagu the lamplighter. Montagu was, for unknown reasons, entered as his name on the Orphanage register when he was a baby, and he was there brought up to the task of lighting street lamps. He sleeps by day because, what with lighting the lamps and putting them out, he runs about half the night.

Excerpt from Judith's Garden From my very soul I dislike Miss Singleton. You know yourself, there are people one can't like. She was of that sort, - a pious, fussy woman, exerting herself dreadfully hard to get to heaven. Of late she had taken to foreign missions. Now she had called to exhort me to join the missionary society. Had I been myself, I should have concocted a polite excuse - expressed a mock sorrow, and gently refused her; but as it was, I took an unholy delight in replying to that woman. I told her I did not intend to join any society. She inquired, sadly, if I did not feel concerned in the welfare Of my antipode brother.

Excerpt from In Garden Orchard and Spinney A billow of ivy overhangs part of my garden-wall, making a rare shelter against inclement skies for such of the winged insect folk as have overlived the year - a large eyed, melancholy fly, its body ringed with yellow and brown, transparent with empti ness, a thing of sad lemurine demeanour and dreamily torpid; a tortoise-shell butterfly, with wings as tattered as any Crimean colours, but holding here and there traces of its autumnal glories a blue-bottle infirm and old, hoary with anxieties, that moves wearily under the burden of its days.
