Tbore I something to mc exceedingly touch
leg in that simple early Jtfo of tnekiuR's. as
long M tit mother lived A doxen jean after
hta niarrlnfre with the littlo spiaet-plaver he
was preal, shy, awkward boy, nudor the tute
lage of that hard parent. She must havo been
a clever, domlneerinff, cruel woman. She kept
er household lonely and In gloom, mistrusting;
almost all people who came about her children,
teeing tho joudr; Duke of Gloucester silent and
tnbappy once, she sharnly asked him tbo came
l hU silrnce. "I am thinking," said the poor
nlld. "Thinking, sir I and of what?" "lam
taluking if ever 1 have a rob I will not make
him so unhappy as you make roe." The other
tons were all wild except George. Dutifully
every evening George and Charlotte paid their
visit to the king's mot.hcr at Csrltou House,
flhe had a throat complaint, of which she died;
but to the la." t percinted in driving about the
streets to show that she was alive. The night
be I ore her death the reeolute woman talked
with her son and daughter-in-law as usual, went
to bed, and was found dead in the morning.
"George, be a king!" were the word which she
was forever croaking in the ears of her son; and
a king the sirs pic, stubborn, affectionate,
bigoted man tried to be.
lie did his best; he worked according to his
lights; what virtue he knew he tried to practise;
wbat knowledge he could master he strove to
acquire. He was forever drawing maps, for
example, and learned ecograpuy with no small
oaro und industry. He knew all abjut the
family histories and genealogies of his gentry,
and pretty histories he must have known, lie
knew the whole Army List, and all the facings
and the exact number of the buttons, and all
the tag) and laces, and the cut of all the cocked
bats, pigtails, and gaiters in his army. He
knew the personnel of the universities; what
doctors were inclined to Bocinianism, and who
were sound churchmen; lie knew the etiquettes
ot his own and his grandfather's courts to a
nicety, and the smallest particulars regarding
the routine of ministers, secretaries, embassies,
audiences; the humblest page In tho anteroom,
or the meanest helper ia the stables or kitchen.
Thc.-e parts of the royal business be was
capable of learning and he learned. But, as
one thinks of an cilice almost divine performed
by any mortal man of any single being pro
tending to control the thoughts, to direct the
faith, to order the Implicit obedience of brother
millions, to compel them into war at his offense
or quarrel; to command, "In this way you shall
trade, in this way you shall think; these neigh
bors shall be jour allies whom you shall help,
these others your enemies whom yon shall slay
t my orders; in this way you shall worship
God" who can wonder that when such a man
hs George took such an office on himself, punish
ment and humiliation should tall upon people
and chletf
Yet there is something grand about his
courage. The battle of the king with his aris
tocracy remains yet to be told by the historian
who shall view the reign ol George more justly
than the trumpery panegyrists who wrote Im
mediately after his'decease. It was be, with tho
people to back him, whom ado the war with
America; It was he and the people who refused
justice to the Roman Catholics; and on both
questions he beat the patricians. He bribed;
he bullied; he darkly dissembled on occasion;
he exercised a slippery perseverance and a vin
dictive resolution, which one almost admires as
one thinks his character over. His courage was
never to be beat. It trampled North under foot;
it beat the stiff neck ot the younger Pitt; even
his illness never conquered that Indomitable
spirit. As soon as his brain was clear it resumed
the scheme, only laid aside when his reason left
him; as soon as his hands were out of the strait
waistcoat, they took up the pen and tho plan
"which had engaged him up to the moment of
his malady. I believe It is by persons believing
themselves in the right that nine tenths of the
tyranny of this world has been perpetrated.
Arguing on that convenient premise, the Dey of
Algiers would cutoff twenty heads of a morning;
Father Dominic would burn a score of Jews in
the presence of the most catholic kinar, and the
Archbishops of Toledo and Salamanca sing
Amen. Protestants were roasted, Jesuits hung
and quartered at Pmlthfleld, and witches burned
at Salem, and all by worthv people, who believed
they had the best authority lor their actions.
Ana so, with respect to old George, even Ameri
cans, whom he hated and who conquered him,
may give him credit for having quite honest
Teasonsfor oppressing them. Appended to Lord
Brougham's biographical sketch of Lord North
are some autograph notes of the kine, which
let us most curiously Into tho slate of his mind.
"The times certainly require," says he, con
currence of all who wish to prevent anarchy. I
have no wish but the prosperity of my own
dominions, therefore I must look upon all who
would not heartily assist me as bad men as welt
as bad subjects." That is the way he reasoned.
"I wish nothing but good, therefore every mau
"who does not agree with me is a traitor ana a
scoundrel. Iiemetuber that he believed himself
anointed bv a Divine commission: remember
that he was a man of slow parts and imperfect
education; that the same awiul will of Heaven
which claced a crown uoon his head, wliica
made him tender to his family, pure in his ll'e,
courageous and honest, made him dull ot com
nrehension. obstinate ot will, and at man v tunes
deprived him of reason. Ho was the father of
hisiDeoDle; his rebellious children must be
flotreed into obedience. He was the defender
of the Protestant faith: he would rather lay
that stout head uoon the block than that catuo
lies should have a share in the government of
England. And you do not suppose tnat there
are not hoticst bigots enough in all countries to
back kings in this kind ot statesmanship w un
out doubt the American war was pooular in
England. In 1775 the address in favor of
coerclnor the colonies was carried by 304 to 105
in the Commons, by 101 to 2!) in the House of
Lords. Popular? so was the Revocation of the
Edict of Nantes popular in France; so was the
massacre of St. Bartholomew; so was the In
quisition exceedingly popular in spam.
Wars and revolutions are, however, the poll
tician's province. The great events ot this lone
reign, the statesmen and orators who Illustrated
it, I do not pretend to make the subject of an
hour's light talk. Let us return to our humbler
duty of court gossip. Yonder sits our little
queen, surrounded by manv stout sons and fair
daughters Whom she borfltiiherfnithtiil (Jnnren
The history of the daughters, as little Miss Bur
ney has painted them to us, is delightful. They
were iiBuaounic bug cans mem Deautlvul; they
were most gina, loving, and lady-like; they
were Rraclous to every person, high or low, who
served them. They had many little accom
plishments of their own. This one drew; that
one played the piano: they all worked most
prodigiously, and fitted up whol suits of rooms
pretty, biuuiuh reueiuptm Wuu tneir busy
little needles. As we picture to ourselves the
society of eighty years aqo, we must imagine
hundreds of thousands oUeroups ot womeu in
great high caps, tight bodies, and full skirts,
needling away, while one of the number, or
perhaps a favored gentleman in a pigtail, reads
out a novel to the company. Peep into the cot
tage at Olney, lor example, and see there Mrs.
iiwln and Ladv Hesketb, those hiirh-bred
ladles, those sweet, pious women, and William
Uowper, that delicate wit, that trembling pietist,
that refined gentleman, absolutely reading out

King Oeorue's household was a model of an
Enclish gentleman's household. It was early;
it was kindly; it was charitable; it was frugal;
it was orderly; it must have been stupid to a
deirree which I shuddor now to contemplate.
No wonder all the princes ran away from the

Rain or shine, the kme rode every dy 'dJ hours,
poked hi red face iuto hundreds of WUWt
round about, und showed that shovel hat and
Windsor uniform to farmers, to plr-bovs, to old
women making apple-dnmptipKs; to all sorts of
people, gentle and simple, about whom count
less stories are told. Nothing can be more un
diBniued than these stories. When Harotm
Aira, i.iri vIhIis a subioct lncoe.. the latter Is
sure to be very much the bi tter lor the caliph's
magnificence. Old George showed no such
royal splendor. He used to give a guinea some
times; sometimes feel in his pockets and find he
bad no money; often ask a man a hundred
questions about ths number of his family,
about his oats and beans, about the rent he paid
for his house, and ride on. On one occasion he
plated the part of Kin? Alfred, and turned a
piece of meat with a string at a cottager's house.
Wben the old woman came home, she found a
paper with an lnclosure of money, and a cole
written by the royal pencil, "f'lve guineas to
buy a lack." It was not splendid, but it was
Kind and worthy ot Farmer George. One day,
When the klnif and aueen werp wh! inner to

lond ot children, the good folks and patted the
Utile white head. "Whose little bov aTe yon?''
asks the Windsor uniform. "I am the tine's
beef eater's little boy," replied the child. On
which the king sold, "Tben kneel down and kiss
the queen's bund." But the innocent ollsorine
ol the beef-eater declined this treat. "No."
said be, "I won't kneel, for if I do I shall spoil
ray new breechbs." The thrifty king oucht to
have bugged hiin and knightod him on the spot.
George's admirers wrote pages aud pages of such
stories about him. One morning, belore any
body else was up, the king walked about Glou
cester town; pushed over Molly the ho isemaid,
who was scrubbing the door-steps with her pail;
ran up stairs and woke all the equerries in their
bedrooms; Hnd then trotted down to the bridge,
where by this time a dozen of louts were as
sembled. "What I is this Gloucester New
Bridge?" asked our irracioiis monarch: and the
people auswered him. "Yes, your majesty."
"Why then, my bojs,"sald he, "let us have a
huzzay ! Alter giving them which Intellectual
gratification, he went home to breakfast. Our
fathers read these simple tales with fond plea-'
sure; laughed at these verv smalt okes; liked
the old man who poked his nose into every cot
tage; who lived on plain, wholesome roast and
boiled; who despised your French kickshaws;
who was a true, hearty old English gentleman.
You may have seen Oilray's lamous print of him
in the old wig, in tho stout old hideous Wind
sor uniform as the King Brobdignag, peering
at a little Gulliver, whom he holds up in one
hand, while in the other he has an onera-elass.
through which he surveys the pigmy. Our
fathers chose to set up George as tho typo of a
great klDg, and the little Gulliver was the great
Napoleon. We prided ourxelves on our pre
judices; we blustered and bragged with absurd
vainglory; we dealt to our enemy a mons'rons
Injustice of contempt and scorn; we fought him
with all weapons, mean us well as heroic.
There was no lie we would not believe; no
charge of crime which our furious prejudice
would not credit. I thought at one time of
makine a collection of the lies which the French
had written against us and we had published
against them during trie war: u would be a
strange memorial of popular fulsehood.
Their majesties wete very sociable potentates;
and the court chronicler tells of numerous visits
which they paid to their subjects, gentle and
simple; wlih whom they dined; at whose great
country houses they stopped: or at whose poorer
lodgings they affably partook of tea and bread
and butter. Some of the great folks spent enor
mous sums in entertaining their sovereigns. As
marks of special favor, the king and queen
sometimes stood as sponsors for the children of
the nobility. We find Lady Salisbury was so
honored in the year 1786; and in t'ue year 1802,
Lady Cbesterheld. The (Jourtlfews relates how
her ladjship received their majesties on a state
bed, "dressed with white satin, and a profusion
oi lace; the counterpane of white satin embroi
dered with gold, and the bed of crimson satin
lii.ed with white." The child was first brouerht
by the nurse to tho Marchioness of Bath, who
presided as chief nurse. Then the marchioness
lihndod the baby to the queen. Then the queen
handed the little darling to the Bishop of Nor
wich, the cflieiating clergyman; and, the cere
mony over, a cup of caudle was presented by
Uie carl to his majesty on one knee, on a large
gold waiter, placed on a crimson velvet cushion.
Misfortunes would occur in these interesting
penaflectory ceremonies of royal worship. Bubo
Dodington, Lord Melcombe, a very fat, puffy
man, in a most gorgeous court suit, bad to
kneel, Cumberland says, and was so fat and so
tight that he could not get up again, "Kneel,
sir, kneel 1" cried my lord in waiting to a coun
try major who bad to read an addiess, but who
went on with his compliment standing. "Kneel,
sir, kneel!" cries my lord, in dreadful alarm.
"J can't," say the mayor, turning round; "don't
you see I have a wooden leg ?"
In the capital Burney Diary ani Letters, the
home und court lite of good old Georgo and
good old Queen Charlotte are presented at por
tentous leugth. The king rose every morning
at six, una had two hours to himself. He
thought it effeminate to have carpet ia his bed
room. Shortly belore eight the queen and the
royal family were always ready for him, and
they proceeded to the king's chapel in the custle.
There wire no fires In the patsage; the chapel
was scarcely alight: princecses, governesses.
cquerilt'S giunibled and caught cold; but, cold
or hot, it was their duty to tro; and, wet or dry,
light or dark, the stout old George was always
in his place to say Amen to the chaplain.
The queen's character is represented iu Burney
at full kngth. She was a sensible, most deco
rous woman; a very grand lady on state occa
sion., simple euongli in ordinary life: well lead
as times went, and giving shrewd opinions
about books; stingy, but not unjust; not gene
rally unkind to her dependants, but invincible
in her notions of etiquette, and quite angry If
her people suffered ill health iu her service.
She gave Miss Burney a sbabbv pittance, and
led the poor young wotnau a life which well
nigh killed her. She never thought but that she
Was doing Burney the ereatest favor in tukinr
her from freedom, tame, aud competence, and
killing her off with langnorln tbatdreary court.
It was not dreary to her. Had she been servant
instead ol mistress, her spirit would never have
broken down; she never would have put a put
out of place, or been a moment from duty, tihe
was not weak, and she could not pardon those
who were. She was perlcctly correct in Hie,
and she hated poor sinners with a rancor such
as virtue sometimes has. She mutt have had
awful private trials ot htr own, not merely with
her children, but with her husband, iu those
long days about which nobody will ever know
anything now; when he was not quite insane;
hen his incessant tongue was babbling folly,
rage, persecution, and she had to smile, and be
respectful and attentive under th's intolerable
emui. The queen bore all ber duties stoutly,
as she expected others to bear them. At a state
christening the lady who held the infant was
tired and looked unwell, and the Princess of
Wales asked permission lor ber to sit down.

But the pretty Amelia was his darling: and
the litt hi maiden, prattling and smiling In the
fond arms ot tnat old father, is a sweet image to
look on. There is a family picture in Burtey
which a mail must be verv hard hearted not to
like. She describes Hti att'pr-nlnner walk ot the
royal family at Windsor: '"It was really a
mighty pretty procession," she says. 'The
little princess, fust turned of three years old,
in a robe-coat covered with fine muslin, a
dressed close can, white gloves, and fan,
walked all alone and first, highly delighted with
the parade, and turning from side to side to sea
everybody as she pasced; for all the lerraces
stand up nguiutt the walls, to make a clear pas
sage for the royal family the moment tbey come
in sight. Tben followed the king and queen,
no les delighted with the joy of their darlincr.
The princess loyal leaning on Lady Elizabeth
Waldegrave, the Princess Augusta holding by
the Duchess of Ancaoter, the princess Elizab"in
led by Ladv Charlotte Bertie, followed. Office
here takes place of rank," says burney, to ex
plain how it wbh that Lady B. Waldegrave, as
lady ol the bedchamber, walked before aduchess:
"Gtneval Bude, and the Duke ot Montague, aud
Major Price as equerry, brought up the rear of
the procession." One sees it; the b.tnd plating
its old music; the suu shining on the happy,
loyal crowd, and lighting the ancient bartle
menls, ihe rich elms, and purple landscape,
and bright green sward; the royal standard
drooping from the gr.;at tower yonder, as old
George pastes, lcrlowed by his race, preceded
by the charming inlant, who caresses the crowd
with ber innocent smiles.
"On sight of Mis. Dclany, the king instantly
stopped to sneak to her j the queen, of coarse,
and the little princess, and all the rest stood
still. They talked a good while with the sweet
old lady, during which time the king once or
twice addressed himself to me. I caught the
queen's eye, and saw in it a little surprise, but
by no means any displeasure to see me of the
party. The little princess went up to Mrs.
Delany, ot whom she was very fond, aud behaved
like a little angel to ber. She ihen, with a look
ot inquiry and recollection, came behind; Mrs.
Deiaiiy to look at me. 'I am afraid,' said I, in
a whisper, and 6toopinir down, 'vour royal high
nets does not remember me.' Her answer was
an arch little smile, and a nearer approach, with
her lips pouted out to kiss me."
i The princess wrote verses herself, and there
arefome pretty plaintive lines attributed to her,
which are more touching tbao poetry:
"Unthinking, idle, wild, end young,
; I laughed, and danced, und tiilKed, und suns:
i And, proud of health, of Jreedom vain,
I Dreamed not of sorrow, care, or pain:
Concluding iu those hours of glue,
j That all the world was made for me.
! "But when the hour of trial came, .
When sickness shook this trembling frame,
When folly s gay pursuits were o'er,
I And I could sing and dance no tnore,
I It then occurred, how sad 'twould be
Were this world only mude for me."
The noor soul Quitted it. and ere vet she was
dead, the aeonized father was in such a state
that the ofilceis round about him were obliged
to set watchers over him, and from November,
1810, George III ceased to reign. All the world
