Excerpt from The Sand-Hills of JutlandThe beggar down yonder has joys as great, to his ideas, as are those of the monarch in his splendid palace to said the young man, and do you not think that the beasts of burden, which are beaten, starved, and toiled to death, feel the oppressiveness of their lot?
