These Irish Fakirs, or sacred fraternity of beggars, lead a pleasant, thoroughly idle life. They carry a wallet and a staff, and being looked on as holy- men endowed with strange spiritual gifts, they are entirely supported by the voluntary gifts of the people, who firmly believe in the mysterious efficiency of their prayers and blessings and prognostics of luck. One of these Fakirs towards the end of his life was glad to find shelter in the poor-house. He was then eighty years of age, but a ta...ll, erect old man, with flowing white beard and hair, keen eyes, and of most venerable aspect. A gentleman who saw him there, being much struck with his dignified and remarkable appearance, induced him to tell the story of his life, which was marked by several strange and curious incidents. THE IRISH FAKIR. l8l He said he was a farmer's son, but from his earliest youth hated work, and only liked to spend the long summer day lying on the grass gazing up into the clouds dreaming and thinking where they were all sailing to, and longing to float away with them to other lands.
