M y father, George Jones commonly called
Black George, on account of his swarthy complexion, was one of the most industrious men in
the whole vilage. His cottage, which was his
own, and partly built by his own hands, stands
on the common, about a stone's throw from the
road, near the preat Oak tree, in the parish of
King's Charleton in Somersetshire.—The Lord
of the Manor having granted him leave to inclose
a bit of the common for a garden, my father had
got a thriving young orchard and a long strip of
potatoes, besides his cottage, all the produce of
his own industry. It used to be a favourable
saying with him, that no man to whom God had
given two hands, had ever need to want. i For
my part says he, I never knew what want was—
When I am sick, the club supports me, and when
1 am well, I warrant I'll support myself. My
mother, besides being equally industrious, was
ratteh more religious, ani l therefore much happier;
She was as good and sweet-tempered a
�I
wOiTMfen jto Mjf in $ * work^ For cor*S!tocf
Her duty, Friendship, civility to her neighbour**
cleanliness in her own person, her house and her
children, she had not her fellow. But the most
remarkable thing in her(I am afraid a very uncommon thing) was her steady and uninterrupted practice of family prayer. It must have been
a hard days work indeed, that hindered her from
her prayers. At six in the morning and eight in
the evening, as regularly as ever the hour came,
she always knelt down with her children round
her, four of us, and read with great solemnity
and devotion a short form given her by the clergyman, which concluded with the Lord's prayer,
in which we all joined. And she used to say
after she had finished, ' N o w I can go to bed
or to work, in peace; for now we may hope God
will protect us44 I am sorry to say my Father
seldom joined with us. He used to pretend he
was busy or tired; and yet it would not have detained him long nether, for we were never more
than six minutesaboutit, and surely twelve minutes
a day (six in ihe morning and six in the evening) is
no great time to give to God. One thing has often
struck me, that if any thing went wrong and ruffled my dear mother's temper, or made her uneasy,
the prayer seemed to set all to rights. When
she had been to prayers, all her grief seemed to be
fled away. And indeed I observed the same thing
with respect to my father; if he ever did join
with us, it always seemed somehow to compose
and sweeten his mind, and make him a great deal
kinder to my mother and vis.
�4
A* myfeiJheraod mother wer# very tetJmtiiotas
themselves, they were very desirous to make theit
children so ; every child was employd as soon as
he was able, in something or other. At about
thirteen years of age my employment had been for
some time to weed in the parson's garden, and
run errands for him. At fourteen he took me
into his house, and not a little proud was I at obtaining the title of his 'little footman.1
The
morning I left my father's cottage, my dear mother, who was kind as she was good, appeared
to be verj much affected; she said she could not
commit me to the wide world, without first committing me to God who governed it; and then
she knelt down with me by her side, and prayed,
* Gracious Lord, be pleased to have mercy on my
dear boy, T o thy care I commend him. Guard
him, I beseech thee in the many temptations
which he is now beginning to encounter. May
he with solid piety and honest diligence, do his
duty in that state of life in which it hath pleased
thee to place him,'—She then gave me her blessing, put a Testament into my pocket, bid me fear
God, and always act for my master as I would do
for myself.
In my new situation there were to be sure
some few things disagreable. My mistress was
peevish and fretful; the co©k violent and passionate. But what service is there, or indeed, what
situation in life, howsoever much above servitude,
which there is not something unpfeasant ? Every
state has its trials; servants have theirs: but if
they cannot learn to put up with some little itt-
i
�conveniences, they may change their places
every year of their lives, and never be satisfied
after all. This is a lesson I have learnt by long
experience.
Though by God's blessing I had received a
more raligious education than most children, it
yet soon appeared that I had many faults, which
it was necssary for me to be corrected of before
I could become a good servant. At first, when
I was sent npon an errand, I was much given to
loitering. I was then too young to consider that
by loitering in errands I was wasting what was
not my own, but my master's time. Besides this
fault, as every thing which I saw and heard in
my master's house was such as I had never se^i*
or heard before, I was too apt to talk of it to my
old play fellows, or at the village shop, Bat as
soon as ever I became a little older, I began to
reflect that this was very wrong. One Sunday
evening, when I had leave to go home to see my
parents, I was beginning to tell my mother how
there had been a great uproar at the parsonage
the day before, about
Here she put her hand
upon my lips, and said, 'Charles, not a word
more of what has passed at the parsonage.
Whatsoever happens in your masters house is
never to be spoken of out of your master's doors.
A tale bearing servant is alway an unfaithful servant; he betrays the trust which his master puts
in him."
My mother's vehemence surprised me a little,
but it made so much impression upon me, that I
was pretty well broken of the feult from that v©ry
�6
time. Into how many scrapes has thk talkative
tempei brought many servants of my acquaintance ! There was poor Nic Jarret, the squire's
under footman, that lost his place, a new suit of
black broad cloth, and a legacy of five pounds,
which he would soon have had by reason of his
mistress's death, only for saying at a neighbour's
house, that his mistress sometimes fell asleep
while the squire was reading to the family on a
Sunday night.
Nic and I were at one time rather too intimate;
I remember one day, when I was about sixteen,
having attended my master to the squire's house,
Nic prevailed on me after dinner to play with
him at pitch and toss. I was worth at that time
five shillings and two pence, more money than I
had ever possessed before in my life. In about
two hours Nic reduced me to my last shilling
But though it was a heavy stroke at the time,
yet it proved in the end a happy event, for by
my mother's persuasions, I resolved thence forward never to game again as long as I lived, which
resolution, by God's grace, I have hitherto happily kept. I wish from my heart that all other
servants would resolve the same. The practice of
card playing, so common among servants in large
families, is the worst custom they can possibly
fall into. My poor brother Tom suffered enough
for it one day having received in the morning
a quarter's wages, he lost the whole of it before
night at All Fours; and what was the consequence
W h y , from that very time,
took to tbo|p
practices of
Ml 'afattrter wfeki k&tedl &
�7
his ruin. How much better would it be for all
Servants, if instead of wasting their leisure in
card-playing, they would amuse themselves in
reading some Godly book, or improve themselves
in writing, or cyphering. It was by this means,
for I was never taught to write, that I qualified
myself for the place of Bailiff, which I now fill.
I remember Nic used to say, 6 Whilst my master plays cards in the parlour, why shoudst thou
be so sqeamish as not to play in the kitchen?
But Nic did not consider that his master being
rich, and playing for small sums, his loses laid
under no temptation of dishonesty in order to
pay them; besides the Squire could read and
write at any time, whereas this was our only
leisure time, and if we did not improve ourselves
then, we never could; what might be comparatively innocent in him, might be ruinous to us.
And even if my master be a professed gambler,
that is no reason I should be so too. A servant
is to do what is right, let his master do what he
will. If a master swears and gets drunk, and
talks at table with decency, or against God and
religion, to God he must account for it, and a
sorry account it will be, I doubt; but his example
will not excuse our crimes, though it will aggravate his. We must take care of our own souls,
whether our masters take care of theirs or not.
But to return to my history; I am ashamed to
say that I was guilty more than once in the earlier part of my servitude, of the shocking and
detestable crime of lying, in order to excuse or
screen my f a u l t s ^ £(appily l w^s cured of it in
�8
th<3 following manner; Having been one day ordered to carry a bottle of wine to a sick man, one
of my master's parishioners, 1 accidentally broke
the bottle, and of course lost the wine, What
was to be done? Should 1 confess my misfortune,
and acknowledge my carelessness, or conceal it
by a lie? After some deliberation, 1 resolved
upon the lie.— 1 therefore had made up my story,
'how the poor man sent his duty to my master,
and thanked him t a thousand times, and that he
was a little better, and that his wife said she
thought this wine would save his life.4 Being
thus prepared, as 1 was returning home, 1 met a
pedlar, of whom 1 bought for a penny a little
book containing a story of a woman at Dervizes,
who was struck dead on the spot for telling a lie.
To be sure it was Heaven seat the pedlar to me,
to save me from the sin 1 was going to commit.
'If this woman was struck dead for a lie, (said I
to myself) why may not 1 ? " 1 therefore went
directly home, and made a confession of my neg*
ligenee and misfortune. And it was well for me
1 did; for the sick man, whose duty and thanks
1 had wickedly intended to carry to my master,
was dead, as 1 understood afterwards* three
hours before the bottle was broken. From this
time, therefore, 1 began to see, what 1 am now
fully convinced of, that besides the sinfulness of
lieing, it is always more for the interest and lasting comforts of servants to confess the tiuth at
once, than to conceal a fault by falsehood, When
a servant has told a lie, he is always in danger of
its being found out, and sooner or later it gene^v
"'"HCT-
�9
ally h found out, and then hw eharaeter irniucd.
Whereas, if ke confesses the truth at once, ha
probably escapes without any anger at all, or mt
Worst it is soon over, and the fault itself is forgotten.
Having now lived seven years at the parsonage,
and being twenty one years of age, my master
called me one day into his study, where he spent
ft good deal of his time, and said to nie, 'Charles
you have lived with me a considerable time, and
it has been always with much pleasure that 1 have
remarked the decency, sobriety and diligence of
your conduct. These few faults which yot have,
further experience and more years will, 1 doubt
not, cure* You are now qualified for a better
place than mine, and are entitled to higher wages
than it is in my power to gi*e. 1 have therefore
recommended you to a friend of mine in London,
for which place you are to set out, if you approve
of it, in a month. But 1 should think it a crime to
dismiss you to a situation so full of teaiptatio®*,
without giving you some little advice. Listen,
therefore, my dear Charles, to what 1 shall say
as 1 mean it only for your good. 1 n the first place
fear G o d ; and then you will never have an
occasion to be afraid of man. Act always in his
presenee. Never enter or quit your bed without
prtyer. Do always for your master, as you would
your master, if you were to change places, should
do for you. Endeavour to get a pious friend,
but avoid, as you would the plague, all wickcd
company. Be cautious of too great familiarity
with your ftmale fellow §ervaut«£ aa utilaw&U

the devil; if you once get into it, you #ill never
be out of it. Keep your money, and your irtoney
*ill keep you. Here Charles, is a Bible for y o « ;
the more you read it, the more you will love it,
the better you will be, and the happier. 1 have
written some directions for you in the first page
of it. God bless you; and when my race, which
is now drawing to its end, shall finish, may we
Caeet in heaven. My master's kindness so affected
me, that 1 could not answer him for tears. 1 was
indeed very glad of going to see so fine a place ac
r
London, though at the same time i eould not
leave a house where 1 had been treated more lika
a child than a servant*, without great regret. 1
shall not attempt to describe my parting with Hy
mother. No description, 1 am sure, could de
justice to the solemn and affectionate manner in
which she exorted me to be pious and just, and
recommended me to God ih prayer. Her last
words 1 shall never forget—'1 know my dear son
(said she) that you love me tenderly, ^nd that
you would not give me unnecessary pain on any
account. Remember then, that whenever yo» 4o
any wrong thing, you are planting a dagger in
your mother's heart." With these words, he*
eyes brim full of tears, and her hands lifted up in
silent prayer to God, she turned away from nee,
and went into the cottage.
And now, Reader, you find me in the great
emd dangerous city of London, in the service of a
vfcy weastlthjf waster, who kept twelve m v m i *
�11
myself. If country people knew London
as well as 1 do, how cautious would they be for
exchanging their safe and peaceful situations in
the country for the perils and temptations of a
great city. How many young fellows have 1
known, who lived honestly aud happily in their
native place, come up to London in the hope of
higher wages, and there forfeit their integrity,
their peace of mind, their health ; their character
and souls. Workmen in particular are yery fond
of getting into large cities, because they think
their labour will turn to better account there than
in their own villages. They do not consider that
in a city, they must give as much for a filthy
roo«a, in a filthy house, inhabited by half a dozen
families, situated in a close, smokey, dirty street,
a« in the country would pay the rent of a cottage
and a garden. They do not consider the dearness of provisions in a city, the temptations they
are under from bad women, wicked company and
the great number of alehouses. In short I am
fully persuaded that a labourer in the country,
on a shilling a day, is better off than one in a
city on two shillings.
When I came to my place, I found every thing
for the first three or four days very smooth and
very pleasant, plenty of provisions, plenty of drink
little work, and a very merry servants hall. But
soon the face of things, with respect to me,
changed very much, and I underwent a severer
temptation than I ever experienced before or since
Xn the whole course of my life. I had always
hitherto been taught feo consider that sobriety and
�12
diligent, and piety, were virtues I therefore
never swore, I never got drunk, I never gamec^
1 went to church as often as 1 could, 1 said my
prayers night arid morning, and on Sunday at
least, if not on other days 1 read a little in my
good old master's Bible, But here 1 soon found
that all this was the worst vice 1 could be guilty
of. As soon as they found me out, it seemed to
be a trial of skill amosgst them who should plague
me most. One called me a Parson; awother, a
Methodist; a third, a conceited Prig; a fourth,
a canting Hypocrite. If I went into any other
gentleman's kitchen it was all the same; my
character flew before me, and many were the jests
and laughs rarised both at home and abroad at
my expense* In short, during three months, my
life wa« a constant amxiety and torment; so that
at l^st I i^as almost tempted, God forgive me for
the thought, to do as they did, and forfeit my
everlasting soul in order to a^oid the present
uneasiness. But while things were in this state,
I felt myself greatly and unexpectedly relieved.
One Sunday morning by a sermon which I happened to hear from our Parish Minister, on the
following text, 6 Blessed are ye when men shall
revile you and persecute you, and shall say all
manner of evil of you falsely for my sake, for
great is your reward in heaven.6 The excellent
discourse which this pious man delivered on these
words was so exactly suited to my circumstances
and feelings, that it seemed as if it had been
addressed solely to me; and it pleased God so to
apply what had been said to my heart and under-
�It
afcandiisg, thai I sot only determined ,*o bear in
future the sneers and scoffs of my fellow sefvants
with patience and fortitude, but even those very
sneers which I formerly considered as my heaviest
calamity, were now no longer grievous. From
this time, therefore, my uneasiness was pretty
well at an end. And I earnestly recommend it
to all other servants, who have been so happy as
to acquire sober and virtuous habits, not to suffer
themselves to be laughed out of their sobriety and
virtue by the jests and ridicule of their fellowservants. They may depend upon it that their
cause is a good one, and though they suffer for it
at first, they will finally triumph. In a short
time all my persecution was at an end. 8 T o be
sure (said the coachman one day to the cook)
Charles is a little too religious, but upon my
word I don't think he is the worse of it. Mayhap
it might be better for us we were more like him.
1 don't see but that he is as humble, friendly,
and worthy a fellow as any amongst us. For my
part I shall laugh at him no longer.4 This speech,
which I happened accidentally to overhear, gave
me great pleasure, and I soon found by the agreeable change in my fellow-servants conduct towards
me, that the coachman had expressed the opinion
of the whole hall. It is true I did every thing
to obtain their good will that lay in my power*
I was civil and obliging to every one among them
as I possibly could. Was any thing to be done ?
if nobody else would do it, I never stopped to
consider whether it belonged to my place or not,
but did it out of hand. If a,py body toek ii in®*
�M
Wa he«fl3 to fell out wMh n e, I gei:er&% disarmed
feim of his wrath by saying nothing. If any little
quarrels, or misfortunes or misconduct, happened
in the hall, I always endeavoured to hush it up,
and never carried any talcs to the master, unless
when I saw any body wronging him, and then I
thought it my duty, or unless the thing was very
bad indeed. In short, by pursuing always this
line of conduct, I found my situation very comfortable and agreeable. My master treated me
with great confidence and kindness; my fellow•ervants with great friendliness and respect.
In about two years time, the footman that used
to go to market being turned away for drunkenness, which vice soon proved his ruin, my master
old me, that as he believed I was aa honest and
careful young man, and perceiving that I could
write and keep aa account, he should ia future
employ me'm marketting. T# market, therefore,
I went every day, and as I had now a good deal
of my master's money always in my haad. 1
prayed heartily to God that he would be pleased
to preserve me under the temptation to which
this exposed me.
My first exploit in this way
was the purchase of ten shillings worth of fruit
at a fruiterer's. When 1 had finished my bargain, and was coming out of the shop, the fruiterer slipt a shilling into my hand. As 1 had
never, to the best of my recollection, seen him
before, 1 was somewhat surprized at his generosity; but fortunately had the presence of mind
to ask him whether he had charged bis fruit the
~ higher qp ac^punt of thi? present to me. 4 W h y
�li
yoing man (said lie) tiifa is an
and 1 will give you an honest answer. The fact
is, that as we know that gentlemen of your cloth
expect some compliment from the tradesmen that
they deal with we are obliged in our own defence
to charge our articles the higher on that account
to their masters.' 'And so, (said I) the money
you give us, comes finally from the pockets of
our masters? *To be sure it does.' ' W h y then,
(said I) I will take your shilling, but shall charge
my master only nine? shillings. And this method
I constantly pursued in the like case ever after;,
for I think the above mentioned practice of footmen, which, however, I hope is not very common
with them, is just the same in conscienee as if
they should rob their master's bureau.
One Monday morniug, having settled my
account for the last week with my master, 1 found
that he had made a mistake against himself of
twenty shillings. As soon as 1 discovered it, 1
said to myself, her* B W is an opportunity for
O
getting twenty shillings without any risk #f detection; but God forbid that 1 should d© it, m it
wouli ruin my peace of mind, and destroy my
soul. 1 therefore pointed out the error to my
master the first opportunity.—'Charles, (said
he) you are right the mistake is obvioas* 1 acknowledge 1 made it purposely to try your honesty
You will find that this affair will tura out, before
long, to your advantage.' Now, though 1 do
not think it quite fair ol masters to lay this kind
of trap for their servant's integrity, yet a» 1 know
h y t h e y sometimes do it, we must be
�16
doubly on i>ur guswd* Indeed, dishonesty i«
Bever a^fe. It always? will out somehow or other.
1 have seen surprizing instances of the discovery
of it, when it seemed to have been committed
with such cunning as to be impossible to be detected.
One day a» 1 was going to market, 1 met Sir
Robert S
'a butler, who told me, that having
long observed my sobriety and diligence, he was
happy to have it now in his power to offer me a
place in his master's family, where my wages
would be raised two guineas a yoar. 1 thanKed
kiai, and told him he skould have his answer
next evening. 1* the mean time 1 called upon
a pious and worthy friend, whom 1 consulted in
ail difficulties* and asked hit opinion.
After
mature deliberation, he said, 'Charles, don't go.
When you are once got into a good place, stick
to it like « leech. The rolling stone gets no *ioss
Tke more years you coatinue in one service, the
more you are respected by your master and all
the world.
A good family considers an old servant as one of themselves, and can no more see
him want thaa a near relation. Whereas servants
that are continually roving from place to place,
have no friend in distress, and seldom get a prevision for old age.' Happy it was for me that 1
followed this good advice. If 1 had not, 1 should
probably have been nothing more than a poor
footman all my life.
But before 1 bring my own story to an end, 1
must beg my reader's patience, to listen to the
sad hte of my poor brother Tom.
! po©r
�17
Tom, he was a great favourite in our kitchen,
because he sung the best song, and told the merriest tale, and paid his card money the most freely of any gentleman footman about town. And
then he swore so much like a gentleman, and was
so complaisant to the ladies, and pushed about
the strong beer so merrily, that he was, said our
servants, the most agreeable company in the
world. And yet all these entertaining qualities
did not preserve my poor brother from the most
dreadful state of distress and ruin. One morning he came to me about ten o'clock with a very
woeful face, which was a thing very unusual for
him, and told me, that he had just been turned
away from his place without a character, that he
had no money, many debts, and no real friends*
and what was worse than all, that he was labouring under disease.
Tom grew worse every day, and was at length
given over. In the morning of that day, while
1 was sitting at his bedside, who should come in
but my dear mother. She had walked 130 miles,
except now and then a lift in the waggon, to attend upon her undeserving son. When she saw
him, pale and emaciated, and his face half consumed by disease, it so shocked her, that she
fainted away. As soon as she recovered, and
wafc a little relieved by a plentiful flood of tears,
she said, • My dear Tom, I am come to take care
of thee, and make thee better, if I can,
Alas I
mother (answered he, putting his clay cold hand
into hers) it is all too late. I have but a few
hour* to live. It is by neglecting your adti
�18
that I am brought to this. Gaming and drink,
and bad company, and bad women have been my
ruin !
O what will become of my soul! if I
could but live my life over again. — Here he was
seized with a sudden fit, and though he lived
some hours, he never spoke after; and died that
evening in my mother's arms.
After recounting the sorrowful history of my
unhappy brother, I must now hasten to conclude
my own. About a twelvemonth after the offer of
a place in Sir Robert S
's family, my master,
in consideration as he said, of my faithful services,
made me his butler. He was indeed so kind and
friendly to me on all occasions, that I found it
necessary to be extreuiely cautious lest I should
grow proud, so saucy, or familiar, which some
servants, when they have lived long in a place,
and find themselves in favour, are apt to do.
After enjoying this post about six years, our
family being now removed into the country, I
made aquaintance with a farmer's daughter living
near the great house, whom on account of her
religious and industrious principles, and her
amiable and cheerfo] temper, I wished to make
my wife. She was no flaunter in fine clothes,
none of your dancing, flirting, forward lasses,
that run about to christenings, and revels, and
hopes, that will ruing a man before he knows
where he is; but a pious, sober, stay-at-home,
industrious young woman ; else I am sure any
body might have had her for me. As I had
never been guilty of any unnecessary expense,
for nobody will call that ^nneee^ary which I sent
�19
yearly to my parents, my savings, the- interest
being added yearly to the principal in the hands
of my master, amounted to two hundred pounds.
And as Fanny's father promised to give her another hundred,! thought we might with this take
a small farm, and maintain ourselves comfortably
and decently.—I therefore communicated the
affair to my master. 'Charles, (said he) though
I am loth to part with so good a servant, yet I
think it an act of gratitude due to you for your
long and faithful services, to consent readily to
any thing which may be for your welfare. But
I do not think it necessary for us to part at all.
I am at present in want of a bailiff. You may,
if you approve it, undertake that office, and still
retain your present wages. Your father-in-law,
who is an experienced farmer, will instruct and
assist you in the duties of it. I will, besides, let
you a small farm on an advantageous lease, which
you may makp the most of for yourself.'
T o this kind and generous offer I freely assented.
And Fanny and myself have now lived together
six years in the farm-house near the park-gate,
happy and prosperous. My father being dead,
and my brother and sister settled, my mother,
who is now very old, lives with me; and by her
example and exhortation I find afeenseof religion
sink deeper into my soul every day, and indeed
I am very well convinced by long experience,
that there is nothing in this world can make us
truly happy but tharfe.

The first time he was presented, the king received him seated on his throne, and dressed on purpose in his most sumptuous robes; but Solon

" M y friend, said Croesus to him, Fame has
every where reported thy wisdom. 1 know you
have seen many conntries; but have you ever
seen a person dressed so magnificently as 1 am
"Yes, replied Solon, the pheasants and peacocks
are dressed more magnificently, because their
brilliant apparel is the gift of nature, without
their taking any thought or paini to adorn themselves."
Such an unexpected answer very much surprized Croesus, who ordered his officers to open all
his treasures, and shew them to Solon, as also
his rich furniture, and whatever was magnificent
in his palace. He then sent for him a second
time, and asked him if he had ever seen a man,
more happy than he was. "Yes, replied Solon,
and that man was Tellus, a citizen of Athens,
who lived with an unblemished character in a well
regulated republic. He left two children much
respected, with a moderate fortune for their sub^
sLstence, & at last had the happiness to die sword
in hand, after having obtained a victory for his
country. The Athenians have erected a monument to his memory on the spot where he fell,
and have otherwise paid him great hoonrs."
Croesur,
�32
Oroesfcg was no hm asteufelved at tfek tlran at
the first answer, and began to think Solon was
not perfectly right in his senses. " Well, continued Croesus, who is the next happy man to
Tellus?"—"There were formerly, replied Solon,
two brothers, the one named Cleobis, and the
other Biton. They were so robust, that thejf
alwaj/s obtained the prize in every sort of combat, and perfectly loved each other. One feast
dej/, when the priestess of Juno, their mother,
for whom the^ had the most tender affection,
was to go to the temple to sacrifice, the oxen
that were to draw her thither did not come
in time, Cleobis and Biton hereupon fastened
themselves to her carriage, and in that manner
drew her to the temple. All the matrons in
raptures congratulated their mother on having
brought two such sons into the world.
Their
mother, penetrated with emotions of the strongest joy and gratitude, ferventh/ prayed the goddess, that she would bestow on her sons the best
gift she had to confer on mortals. Her prayers
were heard; for, after the sacrifice, the two
sons fell asleep in the temple, and never afterwards awoke. Thus they finished their lives by
a tranquil and peaceful death."
Croesus could no longer conceal his rage,
" W h a t then, said he, do yon not even place
me among the number of happy people ? " — " O
king of the Lydians, replied Solon, yoM possess
great riches, and are master of a great multitude
of people; but life is liable to so many changes,
that we cannot presume to decide on the felicity of
an;y man, until he has finished his mortal career."
�Tfie
C o u n t r y
C l e r g y m a n
Near yonder copse, where once the garden smil'd
and still where many a garden flower grown
wild;
There, where a few torn shrubs the place disclose,
The village preacher's modest mansion rose,
A man he was, to all the country dear,
And passing rich with fort?/ pounds a year;
Remote from towns, he ran his godly race,
Nor e'er had chang'd nor wish'd to change hii
place,
Unpractis'd he to fawn, or seek for power,
By doctrines fashion'd to the varying hour;
For other aims his heart had learn'd to prize,
More skill'd to raise the wretched than to rise.
His house was known to all the vagrant train,
He chid their wand'rings, but relieved their pain ;
The long remembered beggar was his guest,
Whose beard descending, swept his aged breast;
The ruin'd spendthrift now no longer proud,
Claim'd kindred there, and had his claim allowed
The broken soldier, kindlj/ bid to staj/,
Sat by his fire, and talk'd the night away;
Wept o'er his wounds, or tales of sorrow done,
Shoulder'd his crutch, and shewed how fields
were won,
Pleas d with his guests, the good man learn'd to
glow,
And quit forgot their vices in their woe;
Careless their merits, or their faults to scan,
His pity gave ere charity began.
�24
Thug to relieve the wretched was his prrde,
And even his failings lean'd to Virtue's free;
But in his duty prompt at even/ call,
H e watch'd and wept, he pray'd and felt for all
A n d , as a bird each fond endearment tries,
T o tempt its new fledg'ed offspring to the skies;
H e tried each art, reprov'd each dull delaj/,
Allur'd to brighter worlds, and led the waj/.
Beside the bed where parting life was laid,
And sorrow, guilt and pain, by turns disrnay'd,
T h e reverend champion stood. At his control,
Despair and anguish fled the struggling soul;
Comfort came down, the trembling wretch to raise
And his last faultering accents whispered praise.
At church, with meek and unaffected grace,
His looks adorn*d the venerable place ;
Truth from his lips prevails! with double swaj/,
And fools, who came to scoffi remained to pray.
T h e service past, around the pious man,
W i t h ready zeal each honest rustic ran ;
Even children followed with endearing wile,
And pluck'd his gown to share the good mans,
smile.
His ready smile a parent's warmth exprest,
Their welfare pleas'd him, and their cares distrest
T o them his heart, his love, his griefs were given,
But all his serious thoughts had rest in Heaven.
As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form,
Swells from the vale, and midwaj/ leaves the
storm,
T h o ' round its breast the rolling clouds are spread
Eternal sunshine settles on its head.
