J.’s pleasant residence on the Schuylkill Falls. Whilst here we visited the works of.a calico printer, who resides and carries on his business in the neighbourhood. We were informed that his principal business was printing India calicoes, which are brought in great quantities to Philadelphia, in American ships trading to the East Indies.th Month, th.In the course of this day, O. J. and his mother-in-law called upon us. This venerable female, who is now far advanced in years, has survived a numerous flock of lovely daughters, I think  in number, who have, in succession, been taken away from the troubles of time, just as the affections of a mother would be likely to feel most keenly the privation.I had often remarked a settled grief upon her countenance, notwithstanding the affluence that was manifest in every thing around her; but hadmot heard the mournful story till I had it from her own mouth.th Month, th.I had received several kind invitations from both J. and C. S. to pay them a visit at their habitations, at Shoemakers Town, before I left this country. They are a family for whom I have entertained a great esteem, ever/ since I have known them; and the quarterly meeting at Abington falling at this time, I proposed embracing both objects; and, setting out after dinner, came to C. S.’s this evening. Here I was hospitably entertained, and had the agreeable company of several friends from Philadelphia and the’ neighbourhood.th Month, th.I accompanied this party of friends to Abington quarterly meeting, which was very large. The meeting-house is a regular, well-built, brick building, and capable of holding a great number of people. It is situated on a piece of’ ground containing several acres, and which is cohered with a great number of large forest trees.th Month, th.After breakfast we returned *o J. S.’s, where we spent an hour or two pleasantly, with a number of valuable friends resident in this quarter. The weather was very warm; but the house Was spacious, with wide passages zthrough it, and no want of windows; and they with the doors being thrown open, it gave a free and. lively circulation to the air, which is very reviving in thisclimate.After sitting a little time in the parlour,. a circumstance occurred which I think I shall not soon forget. We entered into general conversation, after which a silent pause ensned; and asl sat musing on.the prospect of my voyage home, with some little anxiety respecting the .perils of it, a friend of Philadelphia, who sometimes appears in the ministry, broke the silence that prevailed, by remarking that his mind had been occupied in the consideration of my voyage, and that for. my encouragement he might say, he had a belief that I should be favoured to arrive safe in my. native land, in two months from that time. No observation was now made on this intimation, but, on reaching my lodgings, I wrote to my wife informing her of the circumstance, and that I trusted the friend would prove a true prophet. My letter reached her hands two or three weeks previously to my landing.fAfter spending the morning as above related, most of us attended a public meeting at Germantown, about six or seven miles distant, and being requested by T. F. I accompanied him with several other friends to his country house, which hecalls Wakefield. There we dined in a room on a; level with the cellar, which’I found very pleasant, the weather being very warm, and the situation admitting plenty of light. A dining-room so situated, is a great privilege at this season
