Tbe General Conference ef tbe Methodist Episcopal Church began its sessions j tbit morning in Association Hall.

duos Darling. One of tbe moat interesting objects in the Lord Mayor's show of 1988 was tbe 1 boat in which Grace Darling 'and ber father went out to the wreck of the ' Forfarshire and rescued the nine survivors I at daybreak oo Friday, September 7.1838. j ' t The boat is a stout fishing coble, built for 1 a half a doxco can, and it looks as strong 1 ever. It was on view all last summer ' at the Fisheries Exhibition at 6outh ; Kensington, and on November 9 tt N" ; carried through London streets, high on a 1 wheeled truck drawn by a team of noble cirt horses, am} guarded, as was right and 1 proper, by British sailors. Where is the ' brat now? It it kept safe and in hoc or, as such a relic should be. But for Its history ] It would long ago have been sold, among other old stores, by tbe Trinity bouse; and 1 perhaps U was so sold and bought by ' some private owner. One would like to know this: and atlll more should like lo know bow much of the! beroie story of forty-five years ago was In the mhtds of ' the lookers-on. It is only tbe simple story 1 of an English peasant girl of 23, wbo had 1 lived for twelve years with ber parenufbn tbe loaeiy Longstonc Island, and who, after that night of temptest. persuaded ber father, the lighthouse man. to unroot ' with ber, scrota a mile of stormy sea, to tbe dangerous rock on which, through ' his telescope, a few perishing human beings could be seen. She did it,aad site every ^oc of them safe back with 1 That is all; but it la ene ef those stories that men do not willingly let die. She, Grace Uoraeley Darling, was born at BambmgMift on November 25, 1815, tbe Seventh child of William Darling and Tbomason Uoraeley, bit wife. These details I learn from a poor but "genuine little anonymous memoir of ber published at Burwick-npon Tweed, in 18*3, Just after her death, which little memoir also tells me that during those five years other fame, 1838 te 18*3, she steadily refused to quit ber parents or berisltnd,and went on living there as quietly and simply as before. She was a devout, courageous girl — comely and sincere and silent. She had (says good old William Hoplu; "tbe most grntle,qelet,amiable look and tbe sweetest smile that 1 ever saw in a person of ber station and appearance. You tee she is a thoroughly good creature." When Lloyd's agent— bis name was Sinclair, and be deserves to be remembered for her lake— went out to tbe Longatoue be Mid to ber: "Weil, Grace, we'll surely be able to get you a silk gowo for Ibis," and tbe said: "Do you think ae, eir?" with perfect simplicity. Silk gotrna came in plenty, ^ silror teapots came, and voles of thanks and coin lo tbe amount of seven hundred , pounds, and visitors from afar— yes, even from Si. Petersburg. . But, as my Utile I pamphlet truly rays, she "never for a moment (argot ber modest dignity of cont duct which became ber eex and station." Large sums of money were offered lo her , by London managers if she would but come ind lit in a boat at tbeir theaters, tnd men far above ber sent ber proposals of marriage. But she was nol a "professional beauly," so she declined Ibe stage; she was not a successful murderess, therefore the refused to marry in that way. . Nevertheless, when consumption attacked , her, and «ho wai carried to her native . Bimborougb to die, I perceived among , the crowds at ber foocral there was a certain "young man from Durham, wbo is said to have cherished an ardent jflcc- , lion for tbe lsro en ted deceased."
