82 HENRY'S BIRTHDAY.<br />
brisk about beggars and charity, when the bell<br />
rung.<br />
Mr. Williams now went to the door himself.<br />
Whether it was suspected that the beggar was<br />
making a fresh attempt to obtain something, I<br />
do not know ; but he had no sooner opened the<br />
front door than, lo ! the beggar stood before<br />
him, and, in the most imploring accents, asked<br />
for alms.<br />
" Will you have something to eat V said Mr.<br />
Williams.<br />
" I do not so much need victuals," said the<br />
beggar, "as a little money. A man just now<br />
gave me this shirt, and I need other articles of<br />
clothing; but I most need money. I cannot<br />
have a comfortable bed for my aching limbs at<br />
night<br />
without a little money."
