§ {{{etrical ºffetti) of 33eal £ife;
SHEWING THE HAPPY RESULTS, IN YOUNG PEOPLE,
OF VIRTUOUS CONDUCT,
IN THE HISTORY OF A BOY,
WHO FROM OBSCURITY AND POWERTY ROSE TO RANK AND OPULENCE.
The boy who loves his book to read,
And does the best he can,
May live to be, as years proceed,
A much respected man.
For youth who shun the paths of vice
Are Heaven’s peculiar care-
Remember Whittington, who thrice
Was London’s grand Lord Mayor.
Poor boy art thou? even so was he
Industry then pursue,
And you, like him, may live to be
Lord Mayor of London too!

INDUSTRY REWARDED.
A rank ER who tilled some few acres of ground,
Though poor, was yet satisfied all the year round
(As good men should be) with what Providence
º Sent;
And cheerful, because with his station content:
Would sing while at work; and, far better than
wealth,
He gained by his labour sound sleep and good
health,
And often would say, as a proud man passed by,
“He is rich, but perhaps not so happy as I.”
This farmer was blessed with an excellent wife,
And children, whom dearly he loved as his life;
A 3
6 " INDUSTRY REWARDED.
Two girls and a boy, who all three behaved well,
And strove each the other in work to excel;
The daughters at home, and the son in the field,
Who found that industry much pleasure would
yield;.
For friends warmly praised them, and freely con-
fessed *
They were of young folks in the village the best.
Though brought up to work, yet they time had
for play,
But never seemed vexed when their mother said
may ;
As some children are, who will cry, fret, and pout
All day, if they cannot get leave to go out:
This boy and his sisters knew better, for they
Their father's and mother's commands would obey,
As ordered by Heaven; for the child without strife,
Who honours its parents, shall live a long life.
INDUSTRY REWARDED. 7
The boy was called George, and a surname he
had
That fitted him well, for that name was Goodlad;
A good lad in conduct, and good lad in fame,
(What pity some other boys can't say the same!)
He gained such esteem, that a merchant from
Town w
Said George would yet shine both in wealth and
renown,
And soon brought his parents to gladly agree
That Goodlad, their son, his apprentice should
be. Q
The parents of George, and his friends, not a few,
But many and faithful, now bade him adieu,
And merchant and boy in a post-chaise were hurled
To Town, or, as Goodlad said, to a new World !
For never before he in London had been,
And felt quite amazed at beholding the scene
8 INDUSTRY REWARDED.
Of life and activity, crowds on the route,
Men, women, and children all bustling about.
The merchant indulged him, and George with
delight
Went daily abroad, to behold each fine sight—
SAINT PAUL's, and its GALLERY, one hundred
feet wide;
Where, if a friend stands on the opposite side,
You whispering discourse against the wall as you
may,
Distinctly he'll hea; every word that you say;
And where, if you bang, even with slightness, the
doors,
An echo is roused like loud thunder that roars.
The Mon UMENT,-raised where the Great Fire
began, [See Frontispiece.]

And burned half the City The wonder here
grew
Of George, for the stairs wound all round like a
screw, *s
And made him quite giddy: but when at the top
At last, faint and weary, he made a full stop,
And looked down below; every object so small
Appeared, that he seemed to be greatest of all.
The Tow ER,-where so oft, as old histories tell,
By murder, Kings, Princes, and Noblemen fell;
Whence innocent men to the scaffold were led,
And others in dungeons have secretly bled;
The fortress of death, where the good and the
brave
Have perished, and met with a premature grave;
And now where wild-beasts, in the desert that
ran,
Are kept, yet perhaps are less savage than man!
12 INDUSTRY REWARDED,
And WESTMINstER ABBEY, -where monuments
Tare
The virtues of greatness departed declare,
He went over; and every other place saw
That apt is a stranger's attention to draw.
Well satisfied then, he his business pursued
At home, which by practice he soon understood,
And never his duty inclined to neglect,
Deservedly gained universal respect.
And now the six months of his trial quite passed,
Goodlad was at length by indenture bound fast
His master to faithfully serve for seven years,
As apprentice, for none a less time it appears
Is bound in the City, the mystery to learn
Or business of merchant, by which to discern
How best he to rank, wealth, and honour might
rise,
By competent knowledge of choice merchandise.

Attentive, obliging, and always at hand
Alertly to execute every command,
He thus passed the day, and the praises enjoyed
Of all the clerks by his kind master employed;
And while other lads of his years chose to roam
The streets, our Goodlad was found always at home
Improving his mind, so, that prudent and sage
He shone more than boys who were three times
his age.
So ended FIRST YEAR, and the next was begun
Thus well by the merchant, who said, “My good
SOn,
(For so he styled George,) your behaviour is such
It cannot be praised or rewarded too much.
Consider me then as your father, whose aim
It is to secure you both fortune and fame,
And one who your interest will never forsake—
Meanwhile this bank-note as a New-Year's gift take.”
16 INDUSTRY REWARDED.
Ten pounds was its worth, but the highest prize
WOIA
George found in his master's kind words,-My
good son;
And, all a son's duties resolved to fulfil,
He served his new parent with hearty free will,
And, rose in esteem and promotion so fast,
That when of his time second twelvemonths had
passed,
Though youngest, he yet the most favoured clerk
seemed,
And one of the fam’ly was constantly deemed.
Of George, at this time, who was eighteen years old,
A great many excellent deeds might be told
By way of a spur to each well-minded lad,
Like him who of every one's love would be glad;
But, then, we a very large volume might write,
So only shall say, a career half so bright,

Before him or since, no apprentice boy ran,
Or turned out to be a more sensible man.
Thus onward went George, none so happy as he:
And so, without doubt, might all other boys be
Like him, if for friendly advice they would care,
Love work, and of evil companions beware.
At last of apprenticeship came his last day,
When George's kind friends made a pleasing display
As round him they flocked with their wishes for
health,
Long life, and the fullest enjoyment of wealth.
It chanced at this time, that a vacancy fell
As principal clerk: who could fill it so well
As Goodlad? or who, with such long approved zeal,
Deep interest had shewn for his good master's weal?
None, surely so George was appointed to guide
The business, and over the warehouse preside
20 IN DUSTRY REWARDED.
And all employed in it, on salary quite clear
And fixed, of eight hundred pounds sterling a
year. º
We must not suppose, now so prosperous his lot,
That George his fond parents and sisters forgot,
No, never! but dutiful always, and kind,
The home of his childhood he still bore in mind;
And firmly resolved that next step he would take
Should be all his friends independent to make:
Meanwhile he a present to each of them sent,
And made all aware of his future intent.
The principal clerk we shall now leave at home,
And further a-field for intelligence roam
Of sayings and doings the country throughout,
And see what the folks at the farm are about.—
So now, my young readers, suppose we are there,
We see all the family abundantly fare,
INDUSTRY REWARDED. 21
And comfort enjoy more than words can express,
In house-room, connexion, good diet, and dress.
A team of fine horses, each stoutly that ploughs,
Geese, turkeys, pigs, fowls, and a dozen milch cows,
All gained by industry; the farm went on well,
With butter, cheese, eggs, lambs, and poultry to
sell;
The land and the dairy much money brought in,
And people said, “Idleness is a great sin,
Since industry, followed well up, begets health,
And, certainly, is the forerunner of wealth.”
So much for the Doings:–the Sayings all were
About George Goodlad, who, by taking great care
Of all that he did when a very poor boy,
Became of his father and mother the joy;
Obeying them always, had gained such renown,
That taken he was by a merchant to Town,
22 INDUSTRY REWARDED.
And now is his principal clerk! So may you
Succeed, if, like George, you industry pursue.
One day—’twas near Christmas—a post-chaise
and four,
With servant on horseback, drove up to the door,
When farmer and family were all on thºut
To see what great man from the chaise would
COme Out:
'Twas George! O, such joy as no tongue can ex-
press!
The son and the brother all strove to caress,
And neighbours flocked round him to have a full
view,
Observing, -“You see what industry can do!”
George stopped over Christmas, and gladdened
each heart,
So well of a Goodlad performing the part;
INDUSTRY REWARDED. 23
His sayings were pleasant, his doings yet best,
As parents, and sisters, and friends all confessed,
For, treating the country-folks round like a
prince,
Such feasting the village has never seen since;
And lesson of love all good brothers to teach,
He gave to his sisters two hundred pounds each.
Three weeks in the country, of happy sojourn,
Thus passed, when to Town he prepared to re-
turn ;
There was not an eye in the village then dry,
“Farewell!” and “Heaven bless you!” from
all was the cry.
The villagers, by strictest industry, were sure
Of earning their bread, some few only were
poor
Because quite unable to labour, and they
Were pensioned by George at a shilling per day.
24 INDUSTRY REWARDE D.
Some years now passed over, and fortune still
smiled,
The worthy rich merchant had only one child,
A daughter, by whom young Goodlad was beloved;
The choice her fond father perceived and ap-
proved:
Their marriage soon followed; the merchant
retired
From business, and George, with industry inspired,
By steady pursuit of each diligent plan,
Became, very soon, a most opulent man.
Now Sheriff of London appointed, he served
The office, and never from sympathy swerved,
As all the poor prisoners well knew; for, still kind,
In him they a friend were accustomed to find;
Their wants who relieved, and each grievance
redressed
Of those who by hard-hearted men were oppressed;

And gained such esteem, that we well may sup-
pose
He soon to the station of Alderman rose.
A magistrate thus, and dispensing the laws
With justice and mercy, Goodlad was the cause
Of much reformation, for, won by advice
To lead better lives, some he never saw twice,
And more sturdy rogues kept at distance from fear,
Well knowing, that should they as culprits appear
Again before Alderman Goodlad, the law,
Severely inflicted, would keep them in awe.
Chief Magistrate, Aldermen, Liverymen, all
Concerned, were assembled one day in Guildhall,
To choose a Lord Mayor for the ensuing year.—
Two candidates now for the office appear,
And one is elected, -pray, guess at his name,
Which ten thousand voices unite to proclaim,
28 IN DUSTRY REWARDED.
“Health, happiness, riches, long life, and respect
To Alderman Goodlad, our Lord Mayor Elect!”
But who the assemblage so gallant and gay
Canjustly describe of this grand Lord Mayor's day?
The water-procession in barges like gold,
The roarings of cannon its progress that told,
The thousands of boats that rich pennons dis-
played,
The ships in the flags of all nations arrayed,
And concourse of spectators liming the shore, —
Such scene Father Thames never witnessed before !
From Westminster Hall the procession in state
By water returned, joyous all and elate,
To Blackfriars stairs, when, in gorgeous array,
His Lordship and train to Guildhall took their way;
By princes, by nobles, by statesmen now graced,
And other great persons, 'mid whom may be traced,

INDUSTRY REWARDED. 31.
Of elegant women, a dignified band
For rank, worth, and beauty, the first in the land.
The comp'nies went first, but too numeroustoname,
The two City Marshals, well-mounted, then came,
By constables followed, in costume of course,
And close in their rear came a regiment of horse;
Next came men in armour of steel and of brass,
Like heroes, whom none might in valour surpass,
Preceding the Carriage of State, while the air
Was rent with the shouts of “Long live our Lord
Mayor!”
The coach of the young Lady Mayoress came next,
On whom every eye was exultingly fixed,
For proud were the citizens thus to have seen
So graceful, so courteous, and lovely a Queen!
Next object resistless attraction that drew,
A standard was, bearing this motto so true,
32 INDUSTRY REWARD E D.
“Industry Rewarded?”—all guess at the cause,
And hailed the new banner with shouts of applause.
But all the grand sights to describe of this day
A volume would fill; yet the finest display
Appeared at the feast, where, with peers of the land,
Sat Farmer Goodlad at the Lord Mayor's right
hand.
This festival too, of industry, to share,
The delighted mother and sisters were there,
And nothing was wanting that, without alloy,
Might then to the brim fill their measure of joy.
All present were charmed by the affable mien,
The beauty and grace, of the young Civic Queen:
The praises of all while his Lordship now won
Due to a fond brother and dutiful son.—
'Twas late ere the guests from the Guildhall retired,
The younger of whom, by example inspired,

INDUSTRY REWAR DED, 35
Resolved on industry, that thence they might claim
And gain its full recompence—fortune and fame.
The parents and sisters some few days sojourned
In London, and then to the country returned;
Departing with whom, we shall leave the Lord
Mayor
His office with dignified splendour to bear.
The sisters soon afterwards married, and both,
Toleave their loved father and mother though loath,
Were blessed with good husbands, who, like their
wives, knew
How prosperously industry's paths to pursue.
Wealth flowed in for all! Now what more need
be said
Than this, that industry, with zeal when displayed,
Will bring independence, and, banishing strife,
Will earn for its followers the comforts of life,
36 INDUSTRY REWARDED,
The old people died full of honour and age,
Their son and his sisters still live, to engage
All hearts by their virtues, and now enjoy health,
Increasing esteem, and abundance of wealth.
And now, my young readers, I've finished my tale,
Or rather true history; and let me prevail
With all of you, love for your parents to shew :
Obey their commands, and each moment bestow
On honest industry:-so, like the Lord Mayor
And good Lady Mayoress, you pleasure will share,
Live long, be respected, no cares to annoy,
And, passing from Earth, will Heaven's glories
enjoy!
