« A hard-working honest man, a tenant

is very shortly reassured, on his being
told by Saunders that he ‘didna come to

for sax years till his Grace, an’ he thocht
it was an unco thing to be paying siller

in warmly and kindly welcoming his
tenant, told him that few came to see him
without being in want of something or
other, and wished to know from his tenant

Quiet labors often work great results.
What a single woman may accomplish
may be seen by what has gradually been
ravealed of the efforts of Mrs. Emma
Sheppard, an Englisa woman. She de-
sired to save some of the fallen and unhap-
py ofher ownsex. She rented a small
house, furnished it plainly, and gave it in
charge of a faithful housekeeper. On a
certain day, about eight years ago, she
scnt invitations to many of whom she had
heard, to visit her in the evening. About
fifteen came. A bright fire gaye out a
cheerful welcome—a table was spread with
refreshments. After supper Mrs. Shep-
pard sat down pleasantly among her
guests, and talked about herselfand about
them. She told them of her plans, her
wishes, her hopes. She had prepared
rooms for a certain number, and they were
at once taken; she depending upon the
honor efthe occupants to observe certain
regulations. No reproaches were uttered,
no dismal doubts expressed; but lovingly
and cordially she extended a helping hand
to all who came within her reach. Prom
time to time she opened other small lodg-
ing houses, and thus commenced a good
work which has been the salvation of
mauy.
