Thinkin had made $1,000 and lost five thousand, hut he kept his word. Some time ago, some parties tried ayy, to hire the Astor House over the heads of tne Stetsons. | ‘Lhese men had a private interview with) Wm. 3B.

He had been noo paying rent for sax years till his Grace, an’ he thocht it was an unco thing to be paying siller sac lang, and no ken his laird. In Scot- Jand he aye kent his laird!’ His Grace, 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 how he was getting on, Saunders told him he was ‘daen weel noo.

After treating his tenant to every kind of hospitable welcome, they parted with mutual regard; and when the Duke afterwards visited the neighborhood of Athy, his Grace returned his tenant's visit.” AA 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.
