Some months passed joyfully Mont Thin' I began to think my prayers for him were answered . This viaitbel state of matters wheat our correspondence Waseenewed. Dot alas! on last Saturday week, he came like a 'roaring lion from Vophet. His raving and execrations were heard nearly a quarter of a mile of; crowds of people Were assembled near the gates; the neigh. bourberod was alarmed; and he did not leave the dwelling 'till be was wearied out with the excesses of his Outrage*. On the follow ing Sabbath, he came to disturb me at the Chapel, but wasrprtwi dentially prevented from accomplishing his purpose. If I send Min to prison, as the Magistrates told me, be must mingle with the worst of human beings, who will add to his depravity, who will fan the flame of his malignant passions, andwho may prepare him for the commission of some desperate felooiesus act, that would lead to a disgraceful death. GOD knows, that for years I have been living in the dread of being murdered by him, and in the very pulpithave been alarmed by the fear of being destroyed by him. When at correspondence was renewed, many testimonies came to use thatlet was a penitent. I believed them ; the Sky was clear andthisesid. Thus was filled up the few happiest months I ever spent in ebe metropolis. I have thoughts of putting him in a maddieu.

I rejoice they did ; ' for if they had succeeded, in a few &nor Weeks he would ha* re named cempkte use of, his powers. lie should, in this ease, have been set at liberty. He would then hive either raised •an action against me, or have fallen upon and destroyed me.

To Miss Dick and the family the above communica tion appeared in a very suspicious light; and they can not deny, that, from the moment it was received, they entertained apprehensions of the caddour and honesty of Mr. neteher s intentions ; and suspected'that he was only endeavouring to raise up obstacles to the union which might induce Miss Dick, as on the former occa. sion, on her part to put a stop to the courtship • • • . 0 • * Notwithstanding the strong 'rounds Miss Dick and her friends had to suspect Mr. Fletcher,, they determined that .she should have more decidel .proof of his intentinns to - break eff . frora his engage !dents, befere she 'acted - on" . that'idea.
