I also foimd my brother Samuel married to Jaue Kirkbride ; they were married iu the eleventh month last. As we were going along we stopped at Brunswick, which is a very tliriving town, situated very low ; while we staid, I had tlie curiosity to count the houses, and I tliink there v,-a,s about one hundred and forty of them. We ascended to the top of its steeple by one hundred and eighteen stejis, from wiience we iiad a very tine view of the town and the river. To God be the praise and glory ibr all Hi- manifold favours and abundant loving- kindness to me-ward. I rode to Philadelphia to the marriage of my cousin, Mary Xoble, witli Samuel Weili- erill, which was solemnly jierformcd. Dined, with several others, at James Logan's.

A very pleas- ant day, whieli I was exceedingly glad of, as 1 undi'rstoud II. Logan went to Eurlington last night, and she set out from thence with my sister this morning for Shrewsbury. Was this morning in a most uneasy disposition of mind, having an eager inclination to go to Luiliugton to meet the friends from Shrewsbury, and was afraid to do it lest it. Tliese diti'erent passions contested so long that they actually made me sick ; however, love prevailed, and I I'rivately went. Oh I racking thought! This intimacy and the delicacy of Hannah Logan's health, which suflered from the horseback-rid- ing — then the ordinary mode of travel- ing, will explain the next entry, which appears to have been made at Samuel Smith's country-seat of Hickory Grove, where our journalist was staying. I sent a man to Burlington to V eg the loan of the governor's four-wheeled chaise, which he readily sent. I wrote to him upon it, and to my dear father by the same ojiportunity, wherein I told him, auKuig other things, that tin' iiealth of what is dearer to me than life, occasioned my taking that step. About ten o'clock the chaise came, and Jane and Hannah riding in it, we gut in ja'ctfy good time to Iilvesham meeting. Lajt liin', fiT Andrew n-inl JoiKitli. In the evening, I rode to Sten- ton, and had a great deal of conversatii'H with my friend Hannah of the nio-t solid and improving kind; found h' '' very much undetermined in lier senti- ments ; however, patience and resigna- A FAMILY HISTORY. In the evening, rode to Ston- ton, and understanding that Hannah was at Fair Hill, Isaac Norris's, rode to meet her, and did so just at I. Norris's fence, and had her dear company back and till pretty late in the evening. In Xew Jersey, as we have seen, slavery was early introduced, and fortified by the legishition of the mother-country, under Queen Anne's government. It was also fostered by the English govenimcnt in Pennsylvania. The Quakers, however, soon became uneasy with the evil, and, as is well known, were the iirst of all sects to purge themselves from it, and have, ever since, been its most uncom- l romising antagonists. Pastorius, moved a petition or remonstrance to the yearly meeting of Friends, saying, in eflect, it was not Christian-like to buy anil keep negroes.

The town was alarmed with the news of a Spanish brigantiue priva- teer being at licedy Island, and nnich frightened were many pi'uple about it. She was, therefore, no privateer in the proper sense, but a pirate, and probably liailed from the Spanish West Indies. The disturbance about the privateers being in the bay, and at our cajie, continues and increases ; it is now said there are four or five. According to this scheme, 1 inadvertently, without consulting with anybody, drew up au in- strument of writing, and signed it with A FAMILY HISTORY. Jemmy Pember- ton followed me with the same sura, and probably many more would have done so. Pembertou decided to withdraw the subscription }iaper. In a man so extensively engaged in ship- ping busines. Had my dear Hannah's company till eleven o'clock ; told her the whole of the above affair, and had some solid satisfaction in her remarks on that and other things. About noon, received a letter from ray dear father in answer to one I had wrote hira, wherein I luid told him that I had sonie hopes the alfuir at Sten- ton would meet wiih all desirable success. He tells me, in answer to it, that lie is very well pleased witli it, and desires that such a blessing may be sanctified to 13 rae. Bids me to ask Hannah to give him leave to provide a four-wheeled chaise of the best sort, etc. I wrote him by brother Samuel, who returned this afternoon, a letter of thaidcs. In the evening, AYilliam Logan and I took a walk to the State-house, and in our return, called at his house, where we found his wife and my dear Hannah just come to town ; had there, also, some of John Churchman's company. Logan's, where I had Hannah's company for some time ; she seems now almost determined to put the afiair entirely off, which gives me a gi-eat deal of iniin. It was diliicult enough to bear the doubts and fears I had l efore I made suit, but now, when I thought I had rational grounds to hope I should gain her, to have the afflicting prospect of being denied, is abundantly more so.

Kept ray bed most of the day ; read Joseph Andrews. Ilode to Germantown meeting, which was very lajge. I suppi'-e tln're A FAMn-Y HISTOKY. I had the pleasure of dining with dear Hannah at a side-tal le, whicli I prefer to the most sumptuous and exact enter- tainment without her. After dinner, I rode to Burlington to see my father, who liath been some days indisposed, in com- pany with Robert Sniitli, his son, and T. A cloudy day and very pleas- ant to travel ; set out with the messenger that brought us the news, viz.

The captain returned with the snow before night, having entered and cleared at Amboy. I dined to-day at Spencer's — dinner dressed after the French mode. Got the vessel to the wharf about ten o'clock, and began to unload. Took leave of ray kind friends and left New York about tour o'clock ; got to Amboy about fen, which is com- puted twenty-five miles ; I was hindered a full hour at the ferry at the Narrows, besides what I was at the two other fer- ries; waited ujion the collector and pa:d him his fees; lodged at Richard Fitz- randolpli's. A pleasant day to travel. Left Aniboy about six o'clock. After I had got over South Kivor Bridge, I took tlie left- hand road instead of the right, and rode near ten miles out of my way ; however, I got to Cranbury and dined there; baited at Croswicks, and got to Burling- ton about eight o'clock. The Fitzran- dolphs, who then acted as messengers between the cities, aftervvanl set on ibot a line of stage-coaches to facilitate travel. This was to me a peculiarly good meeting. I waited in it for a sense whether it would be suitable for me to renew my visits to dear Hannah Logan, and in waiting, my mind was filled with sweetness, and en- larged in pure love and a particular open- ness and fjeedom, so tliat I deterjuined in the affirmative. Had Lrael I'ember- ton and his wife and Jemmy, William Logan and his wife to dine witli me; in the evening, I rode to Stenton. Hannah and her mother were not at home, but soon came, and my deare. I retired to rest iu tlie amis of meicy, my soul ascending in praise and gratitude to tlie great Healer of breaches and liestorerof , paths to dwell iu. Had mv dear Hannah's company several hours, and ' received the fullest assurance of a recip- rocal love and tenderness. In the evening, rode to Sten- toii, but the old gentleman's reasons against going to-morrow were so strong, that I was obliged to submit to them.

ICmjiloyed the re- mainder of the day in business, and spent the evening alone; having lost a great part of the relish I used to have for other company, beside inydcar Han- nah's, now I know the value of hers.
