Quiet labors often work g cat results. What a single woman may accomplish may be seen by what has gradually been rovcalcd of the oil'orts of Mrs. Emma Sheppard, an Englisa woman. She de- sired to save some of the fallen and unhap- py ofhcrowusex. Shc rented a small house. furnished it plainly, and gave it in charge of a. faithful housekeeper. On a certain dnv about eight years ago, she sent invit' ions to many of whom she had heard, to visit her in the evening. About t‘iftccii came. cheerful welcome—a table was spread with refreshments. After supper Mrs. Shop- pard sat down pleasantly among her guests. and talked about liersclfand about them. She told them of her plans, her wishes. hcr hopes. She had prepared rooms for neci‘tain number, and they were at once taken; 5110 depending upon the honor ofthe occupants to observe certain regulations. No reproaclies were uttered. no dismal doubts expressed; but lovingly and cordially‘shc cxtcndcda helpinghand to all who cams within her reach. From time to time she’opened other small lodg- ing houses. and thus commenced a good work which has been tho salvation of many.
