1818. 



March 1.1. nice clean room, well furnished, 

 waiter clean and attentive, plenty of 

 milk ; and charge a quarter of a 

 dollar ! I thought, that Mrs.JosLiN 

 at Princestown (as I went on to 

 Philadelphia), Mrs. BENLER at Har- 

 risburgh, Mr. SLAYMAKER at Lan 

 caster, and Mrs. M* ALLISTER, were 

 low enough in all conscience; but, 

 really, this charge of Mrs. ANDER 

 SON beats all. I had not the face 

 to pay the waiter a quarter of a 

 dollar; but gave him half a dollar, 

 and told him to keep the change. 

 He is. a black man. He thanked me. 

 But, they never ask for any thing. 

 But, my vehicle is come, and now 

 1 bid adieu to Trenton, which I 

 should have liked better, if I had 

 not seen so many young fellows 

 lounging about the streets, and 

 leaning against door-posts, with 

 quids of tobacco in their mouths, or 

 segars stuck between their lips, and 

 with dirty hands and faces. Mr. 

 Birk beck's com plaint, on this score, 

 is perfectly just. 



Brunswick, New Jersey. Here I 

 am, after a ride of about 30 miles,
