For instance, shops have been eetablisbed for the benefit of 166 RECOLLECTIONa OF RUSSIA, poor fomilieB, where they can bring in their productionB for sale, A princess, poseessing a truly noble and kind heart, gave a shop gratis beloaging to her, and eituated in the best part of the city, which might haye been let for several thou- sand nibleB, Poverty soon filled the building with objects for sale. But the owners wait-ed in vain for the produce of their wares, because the princess had placed a... married couple of liberated serfs as overseers in this shop. They carried on their own trade, left the things of the poor people unsold, and deceived them by false book-keeping. For this the princess was not to blame ; but I cannot excuse her, when, after she had been told most fmlly of the trickery of these people, and their shameful cheating, she still left them in the shop. But so it is in Russia. Even the best-hearted pereons are sure to find some impediment in the exercise of charity, which serves to paralyse it.
