MEMOIRS AND JOURNAL OF

HUGH JUDGE.

The parents of HUGH JUDGE emigrated from Ireland, and settled in Philadelphia. They were of the Roman catholic profession of religion, and were said to be very strict in their adherence to the customs and ceremonies of that church. They had two sons, of which Hugh was the younger; and they were both baptized in their infancy. After the death of his father, Hugh was placed out apprentice by his mother, Margaret Judge. His elder brother was said to be an uncommonly promising youth; but he died at about the age of eighteen years. His death made a deep impression on Hugh's mind, and he felt his situation as being almost alone in the world, having no relative in this country but his widowed mother. It is probable that this was the season of Divine visitation to his soul, alluded to in the following brief narrative of his early life.

It is said Hugh Judge had no personal acquaintance with Friends in his youth, perhaps during his apprenticeship: but as he grew towards manhood, observing them to be a plain, honest people, he was induced to go to their meetings. This he did for some time, without the knowledge or consent of his mother, who was exceedingly opposed to his religious scruples, and leaving the catholic church. At length, however, she became better reconciled to his change; and after he came forth in the ministry, she attended a Friends' meeting in Philadelphia, where

Hugh appeared in testimony. In the afternoon, as they were sitting together, she drew her chair near to him, and, turning her head on one side, looked him full in the face, addressing him in these words: "Hughey, dear, I was afraid for you to day;-indeed I was. You know you had no edecation at all,—at all, for that business. But I thought you made out very well,—indeed I did, Hughey."

If this anecdote is correct, it must have been a satisfaction to Hugh that his mother was thus far reconciled to his coming amongst Friends. No account is found among his papers of the day of his birth; it appears, however, from a comparison of dates, to have occurred in or about the year 1750.

From some detached memorandums, a part of which are lost or wanting, we have collected the following sketch of his early life and first appearance in the ministry, as written by himself.

"In the days of my youth, being placed out apprentice to earn my living, I was deprived of the portion of learning which I ought to have had; and which, if I had had the opportunity, I should have taken without much difficulty. What little time I went to school, I learned fast. I believe I was but one day in learning my letters, and in less than a week I got to reading, in which I took great delight. But I think I did not go to school more than one month in the quarter, and then I had to work hard in the mornings before I went: for, although I was but young, perhaps about twelve or thirteen years of age, yet a portion of work was allotted me every morning; not only to make fires and to fodder the creatures, but also to thresh twenty-four sheaves of
