Taylor & Co. Prb.tns, Black-Hone Cuun THE RENOWNED HISTORY OF LITTLE GOODY TWO-SHOES* All the world must have heard of Goody Two-Shoes: so renowned did this little girl become, that her life has been written by more than one author, and her story has been told differently by different writers. The father of Goody Two-Shoes was born in Engknd; and every body knows, that, in this happy country, the poor are to the full as much protected by our excellent laws, as are the highest and the richest nobles in the land; and the humblest cottager enjoys an equal share of the blessings of English liberty with the sons of the King themselves. The real name of Little Goody Two-Shoes was Margery Meanwell. Her father was a b farmer Y 4 GOODY TWO-SHOES. farmer in the parish of Mouldwell, and at one time in very good circumstances; but it pleased Providence to afflict him with so many misfortunes, that he became very poor, and at last was reduced to want. The farm of poor Mr. Meanwell was sold to pay his creditors) for he was too noble-minded to retain a property which now could not justly be called his. His creditors admired such conduct, and all cheerfully accepted their dividend as a compensation of their debt, except Sir Thomas Gripe, who, though possessed of very great riches, was of a very miserable disposition: in short, he was a miser, and resolved to have a law-suit against poor Meanwell, in order to obtain the money which was due to him, or to throw him into prison. fPoor Meanwell, to avoid the persecutions of this unfeeling man, retired with his wife and children into another county j where his upright conduct not being known, he could not readily obtain employment; and having GOODY TWO-SHOES. 5 •having caught a severe cold for want of ne- cessary covering, this, added to the grief and anxiety he felt for the distresses of his family, soon caused his death: his poor wife lived only two days after him, leaving Margery and her little brother Tommy to the wide world. After their mother was dead, it would have done any one's heart good to have se»n how fond these two little ones were of each other, and how, hand in hand, they trotted about. They loved.each.-other, though they were very poor; and having neither parents nor friends to provide for them, they were both very ragged : as for Tommy, he had two shoes, but Margery had hut one. They had nothing to support them for several days but what they picked from the hedges, or got from the poor people, and they lay every night in a barn. Their relations took no notice of them; ne, they were rich, and ashamed to own such a poor little ragged girl as Margery, c and i 6 GOODY TWO-SHOES. and such a dirty little curl-pated boy as Tommy. Some people's relations and friends seldom take notice of them when they are poor; but as we grow rich they grow fond. And this will always be the case, while people love money better than virtue. But such wicked folks, who love nothing but money, and are proud and despise the poor, seldom come to a good end, as we shall see by and by. Mr. Smith was a very worthy clergyman, who lived in the parish where little Margery was born; but having a very small curacy, he could not follow the dictates of his heart in relieving the distresses of his fellow-crea- ..,,. ......'r % tures. As he knew farmer Meanwell in his prosperous clays, he wished much to be of service to his poor orphan children. It happened that a relation came on a visit to him, who was a charitable good man, and Mr. Smith, by his desire, sent for these poor children to come to him. The gentleman ordered little Margery a new pair 1 ■ GOODY TWO-SHO pair of shoes, gave her some money to buy clothes; and said he would take Tommy and make him a little sailor; and accordingly had a jacket and trowsers made for him. After .some days the gentleman went to London, and took little Tommy with him, of whom you will know more by and by; fpr we shall, at a proper time, present you with some part of his adventures. The parting between these two little children was very affecting: Tommy cried, and Margery cried, and they kissed each other a great number of times : at last Tommy wiped off her tears with the end of his jacket, and bid her cry no'mort, for that lie would come to her again when he returned from sea. When night came, little Margerv grew very uneasy about her brother ; and after sitting; lip as late as Mr. Smith would let her, she went crying to bed. little Margerv got up in the morning very early, and ran all round the village, D crving I 1 8 GOODY TWO-SHOES. crying for her brother; and after some time returned greatly distressed. However, at this instant the shoe-maker came in with the new shoes, for which she" had been measured by the gentleman's order. Nothing could have supported little Margery under the affliction she was in, but the pleasure she took in her two shoes : she ran out tq Mrs. Smith as soon as they were put on, and, stroking down her frock, cried out, " Two shoes, ma'am ! see two shoes I** and so she behaved to all the people she met. and by that means obtained the name of Goody Two-Shoes; though her playmates called her Old Goody Two-Shoes. Mr. and Mrs. Smith would have been very happy if they could have afforded to have kept poor little Margery; but finding that impossible, they were obliged to leave her to the'mercy of the all-wise Providence. Little Margerv, having seen how good and how wise Mr. Smith was, concluded that this was owing to his great learning; therefore GOODY TWO-SHOES, Q fore she wanted, above all things, to learn to fead. But then there were no Sunday- schools for children*, and Margery was irrach at a loss, at first, how to learn, but at last concluded to ask Mr. Smith to have the goodness to teach her at his leisure moments. He very readily agreed to do so; and little Margery attended him one hour every evening, which was the only time he could spare. Bv this means she soon 2:01 more learning than her play-mates, and laid the following scheme for instructing those who were .more igiioranfc than herself. She found that only twenty-six fetters were required to tFpeJ! all the words in the world; but as $oroe of these letters are large and some small* she cut out of several pieces of thin wood ten sets of each. * The poor are indebted tc* Mrs. Hannah More Tind Mrs, Trimmer, who have written many pretty books, for these useful institutions, e And <pv 10 GOODY TWO-SHOES, And having got an old snelling-book* she made her companions set up all the words they wanted to spell, and after that she taught them to compose Sentences* You know what a sentence is, mv dear; " I will be good," is a sentence, and is made up of several words. , The usual manner of spelling, or carrying on the game, was this ; Suppose the word to be spelt was plum-puddixig, which is a very good thing, the children were placed in a circle, and the first brought the letter p, the next 1, the next u, the next m, and so on till the whole was speltj and if anyone brought a wrong letter, he was to pay a tine, or play no more. This was getting instruction at their play^ and every morning she used to go round to teach the children with these letters in a basket. Mrs. Williams, who kept a school for instructing little folks in the science of A> B, C, was at this time very old and infirm, and GOOM TWO-SHOES. ii and wanted to decline this important trust. This feeing; told to Sir William Dove, he sent for Mrs. Williams, and desired she would examine little Two-Shoes, and see whether she was qualified for the office.— This was done, and Mrs. Williams made the following report in her favour, namely, that little Margery was u the best scholar, mm had the best head and hearty of any one she had examined/' All the country had a great opinion of Mrs. Williams, and this character gave them also a great opinion of Mrs. Margery; for so we must now call her. Mrs. Margery thought this the happiest period of her life; but more happiness was in store for her.

We have already informed the reader, that the school where she taught was that which was'before kept by Mrs. Williams* The room was large; and as she knew that nature intended children should be always in action, she placed her different letters, or alphabets, all round the school,—so that every one was obliged to get up and fetch a letter, or to spell a word, when it came to their turn; which not only kept them in health, but fixed the letters and points firmly in their minds. The school was in a very ruinous con- * dition ; dition; which Sir William Dove being informed of, he ordered it to be rebuilt at his own expense; and, till that could be done, farmer Grove was so kind as to let Mrs* Two-Shoes have his large hall to teach in. The house built by Sir William had a statue erected over the door, of a boy sliding on the ice ; and under it were these lines, written by Mrs. Two-Shoes^ and .engraved at her expense. ON SIN.

But, meeting with their wicked train. Return with them-to sin again; With them the paths of vice explore, With them are ruin'd ever more. While Mrs. Two-Shoes was at Mr. Grove's, which Was in the middle of the village, she not only taught the children in the day-time, but the farmers' servants, and all the neighbours, to read and write in the evening. Mrs. Margery was always doing good, and thought she could never sufficiently gratify those who had done any thing to serve her. These generous sentiments naturally led her to consult the interest of Mr. Grove, and the rest of the neighbours: and as most of their lands were meadow, and they depended much on their hay, which had been for many years greatly damaged by wet weather, site procured an instrument to direct them when to mow their grass with safety, and prevent their hay being spoiled. They all came to her 2 for GOODY TWO-SHOES. for advice, and by that means got in their hay without damage, while most of that in the neighbouring village was spoiled. Sir Charles Jones had by this time conceived such a high opinion of Mrs. Margery, that he offered her a considerable sum to take the care of his family, and the education of his daughter; which, however, she refused: but this gentleman sending for her afterwards, when he had a dangerous fit of illness, she went, and behaved so prudently in the family, and so tenderly to him and his daughter, that he would not permit her to leave the house, but soon after made her proposals of marriage. She was truly sensible of the honour he" intended her : but, though poor, she would not consent to be made a lady, tilt he had effectually provided for his daughter; for she told him, that power was a dangerous thing to be trusted with, and that a good man or woman would never throw themselves into the road of temptation. h All. 16 GOODY TWO-SHOES. All things being settled, and the day fixed, the neighbours came in crowds to see the wedding5 for they were all glad, that one who had been such a good little girl, and was become such a virtuous and good woman, was going to be made a lady: but just as the clergyman had opened his book, a gentleman richly dressed ran into the church, and cried, Stopl stop! This greatly alarmed the congregation, particularly the intended bride and bridegroom, whom he first accosted, and desired to speak with them apart. After they had been talking some time, the people were greatly surprised to see Sir Qharles stand motionless, and his bride cry and faint away in the stranger's arms. This seeming'jricf, however, was only a prelude to a flood .of- joy which immediately succeeded; for you must know, gentle reader, that this gentleman, so richly dressed, was the identical little boy, whom you before heard of wiping his poor sister's face with the corner of 4^. ) GOODY TV of his sailor's jacket: in short, it was little Tommy Two-Shoes, Mrs. Margerv's bra- ther, who was just come from beyond sea* where he had made a large fortune; and hearing, as soon as he landed, of his sister's intended wedding, had rode post, to see that a proper settlement was made on her; which he thought she was now entitled to, as he himself was both able and willing to give her an ample fortune. They soon returned, and were married in tears—but they were tears of joy. The affection that subsisted between this happy couple is inexpressible; but time, which dissolves the closest union, after six years severed Sir Charles from his lady; ihv% being seized with a violent fever, he died, and left her full of grief, though possessed of a large fortune. We forgot to remark, that, after her marriage, Lady Jones ordered a house in the village to be fitted up for a school, and placed a poor man and his wife there, who i were r 18 GOODY TWO-SHOES* GOOlDt TWO-SHOES. 19 were well acquainted with the English "language, and set good examples to the whole village in sobriety and honesty: here she permitted all the poor children to be taught to read and write, strictly desiring the school-mistress to instruct the girls in useful needlework—and the school-master, having been a turner by trade, taught many of the lads his art; so that they could make several useful articles; some of which were presented annually to Lady Jones as specimens of good workmanship, and which induced her to recommend several ingenious boys to tradesmen as apprentices, in any of whom became good men, and had great cause for thankfulness to God, who had raised them a friend in the late Goody Two-Shoes; and, by her care, had been instructed to fear their Maker, to love their neighbours, and to be kind (not revengeful) to their enemies—and withal, to live soberly and honestly in this world. She not only furnished tire/house of the school-master and * i and mistress, but allowed them a competent salary for their support, and'supplied the school with books* Lady Margaret'Jones did liot forget her old friend Mr. Smith, for whom sire procured a very good livings which happened to become vacant in the gift of the family, and to which she added a good sum of money to furnish the parsonage,and to repair i t. She paid gfeat regard to the poor ; and, to induce them to come regularly to church, she ordered a loaf to be given td every One who would accept of it. This brought many to church, who by degrees learned their duty, and then came from a more iioble principle. She also took care to encourage matrimony: and in order to in- duce her tenants and neighbours to enter into that happy state, she always gave the young couple something towards housekeeping; and was kind to their children, whom she had frequently at her house on a Sunday evening, to instruct them in re- t op inn i ii*v> L„i a^_ GOODY TWO-SHOES. ligion and morality ;.after which she treated them with a supper, and gave them such books as they wanted : nor did she forget them at her death, but left each a legacy. There is one bequest, however, so singular, that we cannot help taking some notice of it in this place; which is that of her giving so many acres of land to be planted yearly with potatoes, for all the poor of any parish who would come and fetch them for the use of their famU lies; but if any took them to sell, they were deprived of that privilege ever after. And these roots were planted, from the rent arising from a farm which she had assigned over tor that purpose, In short, she was a mother to the poor, a physician to the sick, and a friend to all who were in distress. Her life was the greatest bless-* ing," and her death the greatest calamity, that ever was felt in the neighbourhood. THE [ 21 1 THE ADVENTURES OF TOMMY TWO-SHOES, In the remarkable history of Mrs. Margery Two-Shoes, it has been already related how many many tears were shed by Tommy and his sister, when the little fellow, dressed in his sailor's jacket and trow- sersj was taken from the village by the kind gentleman who was going to send him to sea. Tommy was then only a poor curly- headed boy, and nothing more was heard of him during many years; not indeed till the day on which his sister Margery was about to be married to Sir Charles Jones, when Tommy, grown a man, and richly dressed, caused such astonishment, pleasure and joy, by his sudden appearance in the church amongst them. After the good Margery and Sir Charles were '■■if S% TOMMY TWO-SHOES. were married, they all returned to Sir Charles's house, to partake of the wedding dinner. Then Tommy and his sister again embraced each other, and he presented her with some very beautiful di- amends and pearls he had purchased in a foreign country. After dinner the company retired to a pleasant summer-house in the garden; where, at Lady Jones's request, Tommy Two-Shoes related the history of his adventures. He told them, that Mr. Smith's relation sent him to sea in a very fine ship called the come again : after they had been at sea near two months, a violent storm arose, and the ship was cast away upon that part of the coast of Africa which is inhabited by wild Indians. Tommy was the only one of all the ship's crew who escaped with life. He swam to the shore with great difficulty, and for many days subsisted on the shell fish he picked up on the sands. Here he was found by a party of Indians, who TOMMY TWO-SHOES * 23 who stripped and bound him, and then carried him along with them to their luig warns, which is the name of the huts they live in. Tommy, most probably, would have been devoured by these wild Indiansb but it happened that he had preserved a watch in his pocket, which had been given him by the captain on account of his very good behaviour on board ship: when the Indians saw this watch, and heard it tick, they thought it was some strange animal. The chief of the Indians took it into his own possession, and showed it to all the tribe f some were afraid to approach it, and others fell on their knees to worship it; but at last the watch stopped for want of winding up. The Indian chief, no longer hearing the sound, shook it, but it made no more noise ; he prayed and entreated it would speak, yet still it was silent. In great alarm and grief he brought it to Tommy. making signs that he feared it was dead. Ton) my : o 24 TOMMY TWO-SHOES. Tommy took the watch, and turning aside wound it up; when he presented it ticking as loud as ever again to the Indian chief, who was so overjoyed at its recovery, that he prostrated himself on the ground before Tommy: then calling the tribe together, he made a long speech in his own language; upon which they all shouted and clapped their hands, and immediately unbound Tommy Two-Shoes. With many si oris of reverence they now offered him ri( e and cocoa nuts, and seemed to think him a superior being to themselves. From that time Tommy was treated with kindness among; the Indians. He often went out a-tiger-and wolf-hunting with them into the forests. One day the Indians attacked a lioness, who defended herself and her cub with great fury ; but a| length she was, killed; and Tommy : taking up .the <?ub carried it home with ' lum, -mid nursed and reared it with such tenderness, V TOMMY TWO-SHOES. 25 tenderness, that it became at last as tame as any dog, and would follow him every where, and obey all his commands. By the time the lion was full grown, Tommy Two-Shoes became tired of living among the wild Indians. He wished to return to his own country; and being a lad of uncommon spirit and resolution, he at last resolved to set out on foot, and cross the deserts of Africa, till he should arrive at some port where he might find an European vessel. Accordingly he provided himself with an Indian axe, a bow, and plenty of arrows, and accompanied by his faithful lion he set out on his perilous undertaking. It was happy for Tommy that he had such a companion, for his road lay through large wroods and forests, that were full of wild beasts; and he would certainly have been starved, or torn in pieces, had he not been both fed and protected by this noble animal. 26 TOMMY TWO-SHOES, animal. When the lion roared, all tlje ; wild beasts fled away. The smaller ones, that were fit for food, the lion pursued and killed; and Tommy, while the lion hunted, always took shelter in a tree, where he used to shoot birds with his bow and arrow. By these means they ne- ver^vanted a meal; and it was pleasant enough to see them dress their meat, and then sit down side by side to dinner. At length they came to an open plain of great extent, where Tommy Two-Shoes discovered a very lame statue erected on a rising ground, which had this inscription on its pedestal—on may-day in the morning, When tkesun rises, i shall have a head of gold. As it was already the latter end of .April, Tommy determ ined to continue * in the neighbourhood till May-day, that he might be a wit- ness-of this most wonderful change. The same day he chanced to meet a poor shepherd, of whom he inquired, what was the reason TOMMY TWO-SHOES, 27 reason of that extraordinary statue being erected in the plain. The shepherd informed him that it was set up many years ago by an Arabian philosopher, who, after travelling all the world over in search of a real friend, lived with, and was extremely fond of, a great man that inhabited the next mountain; but that on some occasion they quarrelled, and the philosopher, leaving the mountain, retired into the plain, where he erected this statue with his own hands, and soon after died. To this he added, that all the people for many leagues round came there every May- ■ morning, expecting to see the stone head turned to gold. Tommy got up very early on the first of May to behold this amazing change ; and when he came near the statue he saw a great number of people gathered together, who all ran away from him in the utmost consternation, having never before seen a lion at TOMMY TWO-SHOES* TOMMY TWO-SHOES. Of lion follow a man lik^ a dog. Being thus left alofie, Tommy fixed his eyes on the sun, then rising with resplendent majesty, and afterwards turned to the statue, but could see no change in the stone.— u Surely," says he to himself, " there is some mystical meaning in this: this inscription must be an ^enigma, the hidden meaning of which I will endeavour to find, for a philosopher would never expect a stone to be turned to gold." Accordingly he measured the length of the shadow, which the statue save on the ground bv the sun shining on it, and marked that particular part where tho head fell; then getting a chopness (a thing like a spade) and digging, he discovered a copper chest, full of gold, with this inscription engraved on the lid of it: Thy Wit, O Man, whoever thou art, Hath disclosed the yEnigma, And discovered the Golden Head. x a.iie Take it and use it. But use it with Wisdom ; For know That Gold, properly employed, May dispense Blessings, And promote the Happiness of Mortals'; But when hoarded up, Or misapplied, Is hut Trash, and makes Mankind miserable. Remember The unprofitable Servant, Who hid his Talent in a Napkin; And The profligate Son, Who squandered away his Substance, and fed with the Swine. As thou hast got the Golden Head, Observe the Golden Mean; Be good and be happy. This lesson, coming as it were from the dead, struck him with such awe and reverence for piety and virtue^ that, before he removed the treasure, he kneeled down, and earnestly and fervently prayed that he 30 TOMMY TWO-SHOES. he might make a prudent, just, and proper use of it. Tommy Two-Shoes then conveyed the chest to the hut of the poor shepherd, where he had taken up his ahode; and on further examining all its contents, he found a roll of paper, which having untied, he sat down and read as follows : . u To him, by whose ingenuity this treasure is discovered, I dedicate a short history of my life and disappointments} that he may profit by my experience, and learn to know that adversity is the trial of friendship. i( I had acquired alarge fortune by trade: my parents and relations were all dead, and my riches afforded me no comfort, because I had no one whom I loved, to share them with me. I travelled through Persia, India, Libya, Utopia, and Arabia; in search of a real friend. Many offered me their friendship while they supposed I was rich; but if I pretended that I was in >r i TOMMY TWO-SHOES. 31 in distress and required their assistance, they immediately deserted me. At last I arrived in this vast plain, where I became acquainted with a man who was reported to be wise, rich, and good. " In him I concluded I had found the man to whom I ought to open both my purse and my heart; but disappointment had made me suspicious, and I resolved to try before I trusted him. I went therefore to him, and desired his assistance in hiding a large sum of money, lest the prince of the country, by the advice of a wicked minister, should put me to death to possess himself of my gold. We met and hid the money, which after some days I went to see, and found it gone. ** How was I struck to the heart, to know that a tnati who professed himself to be wise and virtuous, had broken through a sacred trust of friendship, and turned a thief for gold!

" After drying the tears which the know- ledge of his baseness had caused me to shed, I went to him. I told him I had more gold to hide, and desired him to appoint a time when we might go together, and open the earth to put it in the same pot with the rest. He seemed confused, and after a little hesitation named the next evening. Accordingly we went, opened the ground, and found the money I had first" plaeed there, which the. artful wretch had returned .to its hiding-place in hopes of ^obtaining more. " [immediately took up the gold, put it in mv pocket, and, turning to the false man, said with a severe look, I should bury no more gold till I had found a man worthy of-my confidence. u Soon after I. plaeed this chest in the earth y and may it be found by some honest man, TOMMY TWO-SHOES. 3'c "man, who is neither covetous nor profligate ; and who will remember that gold is lent us to perform benevolent actions with; that all we receive is from the hand of God, and every person in distress has a just title to share it I" The first good action Tommy performed with his treasure was to build a comfortable habitation for the poor shepherd, and to give him and his family clothing, and all things necessary to their comfort and happiness. He then set out again on his travels, and had almost reached the sea-coast, when his fond and faithful companion the Hon fell sick and died. Poor Tommy's grief cannot be described at this event, which deprived him at once of his protector and his only friend. When his affliction had a little subsided, he dug a deep grave at the foot of a high tree, in which he buried his beloved lion. ■He now proceeded on his journey with a sor- 34 TOMMY TWO-SHOES, a sorrowful heart; nor did he find anyconr solation for the loss of his lion, till he beheld an English ship which reminded him of his beloved sister, and the joy with which she would receive him. He carried all his wealth on board the ship, which immediately set sail ^ and with a favourable wind all the way, they soon arrived in Eno'lanch The sea-port at which Tommy landed was riQt many miles distant from the residence of Margery Two-Shoes. All the country had talked of her goodness, and now every body was telling the news that she was goino; to be married to Sir Charles Jones. Tommy soon heard it; and instantly ordering a post-chaise with four horses, and dressing himself in a magnificent dress, he hastened to the church where his dear and excellent sister was to be married. The particulars of their interview are to be found in the history of Margery Two-Shoes. Tommy, TOMMY TWO-SHOES, , Tommy, now called Mr. Two-Shoes, as he was grown a fine and rich gentleman, settled in the handsome city of York* where he was admired and beloved both by the rich and the poor. To the former he was polite and respectful, and to the latter he was kind and benevolent. His reputation was so great, and his history had been so remarkable, as well as that of his sister, that numbers of people solicited his acquaintance; and others, who used to go to - York minster, where he constantly attended divine service, spoke in the highest terms of the propriety and gracefulness of his behaviour.
