Of course, this kind of benevolence never gets into the statistics of relief, but it will not the less meet with its reward.
I heard also of one or two wealthy men whose names do not appear as contributors to the public relief fund, who have preferred to spend considerable sums of money in this private way.

In my wanderings about the town I heard also of several instances of poor people holding relief tickets, who, upon meeting with some temporary employment, have returned their tickets to the committee for the benefit of those less fortunate than themselves.

Waiving for the present all mention of the opposite picture; these things are alike honourable to both rich and poor.
A little past noon, on Friday, I set out to visit the great stone quarries on the southern edge of the town, where upwards of six hundred of the more robust factory operatives are employed in the lighter work of the quarries.

This labour consists principally of breaking up the small stone found in the facings of the solid rock, for the purpose of road-mending and the like.

Some, also, are employed in agricultural work, on the ground belonging to the fine new workhouse there.
