A refuge for the homeless and shipwrecked in life will also be provided, where they can have temporary .employment, and be brought under .moral and religious influences. Attached to the refuge will be a labor yard, so that no man may be rejected because he has set the means of payment. The estabUahment of a labor bureau, by which employers and employ eesmigbt be brought together, forms an important portion of the scheme. It is pro Dosed to __ep a register of all the unemployed in Sydney, divided into their several trades, and to invite employers to send in their requirements. The clergy in the counter, are to be requested to fill up forms, which will be supplied, setting forth in what ; ways there are openings for labor in (their districts; and, lastly, as much more labor *_ needed in country than in town, it is proposed to have a farm for the ooltivarioh of vegetables, where men unfitted for any other sort of work caa be made -_*__1.
