Eyes too reverently fixed, and for too long a period, upon the glories of the treasure house discern but vaguely the hungry toilers among the shadows in the malodorous places. Occasional mutterings from the owners of empty stomachs, from the fathers of fading children, from the overworked and the unemployed, make discordant and unwelcome music for cultivated ears. Sounds of this kind, as is natural, annoy the more comfortable people, who continue to expound the law of the Survival of the Fittest. To these happy philosophers this brief tale is dedicated.
