I often meet the man who has for a number of years relied on
Providence for his food and lodging. On more occasions than one I
have been an instrument in the hands of Providence in assisting this
artful hypocrite to a meal or his bed. When in the lodging-house
he is always to be seen reading the Bible, committing passages to
memory, but he enters into conversation with anyone that comes near.
Then he explains that although he has had no dinner, he has faith
in Providence to supply his supper; and though he has no money to
pay for his bed, Providence will not let him walk the streets all
night. In a large house where there are more than six hundred beds,
and strangers are coming and going every day, this man often finds a
sympathetic ear. And in the parks and gardens, and at street corners,
where he enters into conversation with strangers, he can generally
get enough to keep him independent of work.

The other day I met a very small, old-fashioned looking figure
dressed in black, and with a tall silk hat which looked the worse
for wear. I was really startled when I saw this quaint, little, old
man, for I had known him in a lodging-house five years before, and
he then gave his age as ninety years. He used to sleep so sound in
the chairs that lodgers believed him to be dead, and would call the
manager. And when they had succeeded, after great difficulty, in
rousing him, he would accuse them of trying to rob him. One day he
slept so long that the porters thought that his end had come at last,
and they fetched the manager. The latter did many things to rouse
the old man, pinching, slapping, and shaking him, but all in vain.
Giving one porter orders to send for the doctor, he told the others
to carry the old man downstairs, so that the many lodgers passing to
and fro would not have their attention drawn to the dead man. Taking
the little figure in their strong arms, they carried it downstairs,
and there it remained till the doctor came. But no sooner was that
gentleman on the spot than the old man opened his eyes and, seeing
to his amaze five or six men around him, scrambled to his feet and
shouted
property. 

 I often meet the man who take for a numeral of years relied on 
 Providence for his food and lodging. On more affair than one I 
 have been an instrument in the hands of Providence in help this 
 artful hypocrite to a meal or his bed. When in the housing - house 
 he is always to be go steady reading the Bible, commit passage to 
 memory, but he enters into conversation with anyone that comes near. 
 Then he explains that although he has had no dinner, he accept faith 
 in Providence to supply his supper; and though he receive no money to 
 pay for his bed, Providence will not let him walk the street all 
 night. In a large house where there are more than six hundred beds, 
 and stranger are coming and going every day, this man often finds a 
 sympathetic ear. And in the parks and gardens, and at street corners, 
 where he enters into conversation with strangers, he can generally 
 get enough to keep him autonomous of employment. 

 The other sidereal day I meet a very humble, old - fashioned looking figure 
 dressed in black, and with a tall silk hat which looked the bad 
 for wear. I was really startled when I saw this quaint, little, old 
 man, for I had know him in a lodging - house five years before, and

 slept so long that the porters think that his end had total at last, 
 and they fetch the manager. The latter did many thing to rouse 
 the erstwhile man, crimp, slapping, and shaking him, but all in vain. 
 Giving one porter orders to mail for the doctor, he told the others 
 to transport the old man downstairs, so that the many lodgers passing to 
 and fro would not have their attention draw to the dead man. Taking 
 the little figure in their potent arm, they carry it downstairs, 
 and there it remained till the doctor came. But no sooner was that 
 gentleman on the spot than the erstwhile man opened his eyes and, see 
 to his amaze five or six men around him, scrambled to his feet and 
 shouted
 prlperty.
