the colonial era, and O! the rural districts in

We are, therefore, pleased to see medical

Oxford street meta young lady weeping
bitterly. Touched hy her distress he accost-
ed her. and she told him that she had just
come to town from Birmingham with her
father. that she had missed hlm in the street,

recommended her to return at once to Bir

not been obliged to return to Bristol i,nme

young lady if,she had any money to pay
her fare. and she replied in the negative.
Our friend then banded her couple of SOW

he went to Portsmouth, where he preached
daily from the 23d TO 29lt. On Sa,ur-
day, the Goth. he preached nearly two
hours at Exeter in the open air. In the af.
ternoon, he rode to Ncwburypor,, where he
had engaged to preach the next morning.

crowded about the door of tho house and
