MISSIONARIES.

Miss Susan Oliffe.

The Mission is regularly incorporated; is not sectarian; never turns a homeless child from its doors; neither asks nor receives aid from the Legislature, city, or School Fund-but is sustained entirely by voluntary sub scriptions. It has received in six years 7,581 children.

Day school, 9 to 2 o'clock. Musical exercises from 14 to 2 o'clock. Sunday morning breakfast at 8 A.M. Public service in the chapel at 10.30 A.M. Sunday school, 2 to 3 o'clock P.M. Singing and addresses, 3 to 4 o'clock. Prayer meeting, Tuesday evening, 7 o'clock.

Office open daily from 8 to 5 o'clock.

This Institution comprises St. Catharine's Convent, occupied by the Sisters of Mercy, and the House of Mercy, occupied by destitute young women, of whom the Sisters take charge.

The average number of these is one hundred. They receive religious instruction, and are supplied with food and clothing until employment can be procured for them elsewhere.

The Sisters also visit the sick and dying poor in their own homes and in hospitals.

The State Prison at Sing Sing, and the City Prison in Centre street, are regularly visited by them, and they instruct the inmates in their moral and religious duties.

The House of the Good Shepherd,

Eighty-ninth street and East river.

This institution was commenced in Fourteenth street, New York, on the second day of October, 1857, by five religious of the Order of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd. By reception of novices since that period, the community has increased to seventy-five members and six out-door sisters, eleven of whom are engaged in forming a foundation of the Order in Boston.

Their aim is nothing less than to reclaim and thoroughly reform the most hardened, the most abandoned, and the most loathsome of the human family.

It is a House of Correction, attempting by moral means alone to reform the worst abuses and to provide a home, a quiet and happy retreat, for the inmates of the houses of infamy. Although the sisters live in separate houses, yet one or more of them are always present, night and day, to direct and control the penitents in their various duties, striving always to gain their affection, in order to be able to bring them to contrition and

remorse.

On application to the institution, so long as any room remains to accommodate them, young women coming from any part of the country, or of any religion whatever, are received without being questioned, and the same uniform kindness is paid, and the same accommodations and training provided for all, without the least regard being paid to the particular religion to which they have been educated.

As no force is used to compel persons to enter the institution, so they are under no restraint to remain; but, on application to the Mother Superior, can at any time leave, though, while under protection, they always remain within the inclosure, where they are trained, educated to useful occupations, and, when thoroughly reformed, the religious give them a perpetual home, or send them into the world safe, useful, and virtuous members of society.

The institution is divided into three classes, each of which is entirely separated from one another, excluding all communication between the respective inmates.

The first consists of Magdalens, who are penitents who have been converted, and are leading the life of religious under the rule of the Third Order of St. Teresa.

The second class is that of the penitent women and girls who have been received into the asylum in order to be converted.

The third class is that of the Preservation, composed of children who are in danger of falling, and mostly those of bad parents.

Another class has been opened this year for girls within the ages of fourteen and twenty-one, convicted by the Government.
