The man that cleaned the Billiard-Room,

The Chaplain, and

[Ill.u.s.tration]

The Still-Room Maid.

And I am dreadfully afraid That Monsieur Champignon, the Chef, Will now be

permanently deaf-- And both his Aides

[Ill.u.s.tration]

MORAL

The moral is that little Boys Should not be given dangerous Toys.

CHARLES AUGUSTUS FORTESCUE,

_Who always Did what was Right, and so acc.u.mulated an Immense Fortune._

The nicest child I ever knew Was Charles Augustus Fortescue.

He never lost his cap, or tore His stockings or his pinafore: In eating Bread he made no Crumbs, He was extremely fond of sums,

[Ill.u.s.tration]

To which, however, he preferred The Parsing of a Latin Word-- He sought, when it was in his power, For information twice an hour, And as for finding Mutton-Fat Unappetising, far from that!

He often, at his Father's Board, Would beg them, of his own accord,

[Ill.u.s.tration]

To give him, if they did not mind, The Greasiest Morsels they could find-- His Later Years did not belie The Promise of his Infancy.

In Public Life he always tried To take a judgment Broad and Wide;

[Ill.u.s.tration]

In Private, none was more than he Renowned for quiet courtesy.

He rose at once in his Career, And long before his Fortieth Year Had wedded Fifi,

[Ill.u.s.tration]

Only Child Of Bunyan, First Lord Aberfylde.

He thus became immensely Rich, And built the Splendid Mansion which Is called

[Ill.u.s.tration]

_"The Cedars, Muswell Hill,"_ Where he resides in Affluence still To show what Everybody might Become by

SIMPLY DOING RIGHT.
