But now the farmer and his wife were
growing old. and could no longer spare
her, and-on the next Sabbath, her brother
was to preach for the first time in the old
church Of Meredith, so Grace Lee bade
arewcll to the spot endeared to her by
many recollections, and at the close of a
bright summer day, found herself once
more amid her earliest and dearest friends,
under the paternal roof from which she
had been so long an exile. 1t was a happy
circle that surrounded the family altar

in a deep, rich voice, that trembled with
emotion, thanked God for the way in
which he had led them, and above all,
for the safe return Of her whom he had
made the messenger of mercy to her faith

more than repaid her for all the sacrifices
she had made.

by the cry of fire. Mr. Walkers Bakery, some fifty
yards west of Fayetteville Street. had taken FIRE
and notwithstanding the exertons of the citizens, it
was entirely consumed The adjoining buildings
were saved with some difficulty. 1t was extremely
fortunate that it raining the time; otherwise,
number of buildings in the vicinity must have been
consumed If such fire had occurred during the
dry weather, week or since, it might have swept
large portion of the square, and, perhaps buildings
beyond the square.
