"That takes me back to the old meeting-house. Do you remember, wife, when I led in Dedham?" "I," said the mother, "was thinking of that Ordination-ball, and of 'Money Musk' and 'Hull's Victory." "That is strange enough," said the old man, "that it should sound like psalm-tunes and country-dances." "It takes us back to our youth; that is it," she answered. And Arnold went on.
So Madeline continued: "Mrs. Hiram Briggs, or North Dedham, writes: 'I was terribly afflicted with baldness, so that, for months, I was little more than an outcast from society, and an object of pity to my most familiar friends. I tried every remedy in vain. At length I heard of your wonderful restorative.
Clarke, were William Gaston of Roxbury, and Waldo Colburn of Dedham.

It is Constable's country, and in its way is not to be matched in England. Although there is nothing striking in it, its influence, at least upon me, is greater than that of celebrated mountains and waterfalls.
About midway among these, as to order and distance, are Brookline and Canton Streets. On a chance space of hard soil around Canton and Dedham Streets, in this marshy region, a suburban village of frame houses had gathered, and here a Sunday school was started as early as 1836. In January, 1842, a weekly prayer-meeting began at the house of Mr. Samuel C. Wilkins.
