Paulding, and what is he doing here?
He cannot be the child of depraved or vicious parents." "I do not think he is.

But from whence he came no one knows.

He drifted in from some unknown land of sorrow to find shelter on our inhospitable coast.

I am sure that God, in his wise providence, sent him here, for his coming was the means of saving a poor debased man who is well worth the saving." Then she told in a few words the story of Andy's appearance at Mr.
Hall's wretched hovel and the wonderful changes that followed--how a degraded drunkard, seemingly beyond the reach of hope and help, had been led back to sobriety and a life of honest industry by the hand of a little child cast somehow adrift in the world, yet guarded and guided by Him who does not lose sight in his good providence of even a single sparrow.
"Who is this man, and where does he live ?" asked Mr.Dinneford, who had been listening to Mrs.Paulding's brief recital.
"His name is Andrew Hall," was replied.
"Andrew Hall!" exclaimed Mr.Dinneford, with a start and a look of surprise.

That is his name, and he is now living alone with the child of whom we have been speaking, not very far from here, but in a much better neighborhood.
