A Story for Boys Be faithful to employer and kin
Widow Preeman counsels George as he leaves charity school to work for a shoemaker. He stays honest when a shopkeeper overpays him, returning the extra coin and earning his master’s praise. His mother warns of sin, and George continues to serve faithfully, walking two miles home each night to his mother’s cottage. He learns integrity through a simple test and finds family stability and a pious life, while the narrator warns young brides about vanity and emphasizes duty and shared purpose in marriage.

Family Government and the Lessons of Motherhood
A long moralistic tale contrasts harsh paternal discipline with a mother’s gentler governance. It recounts a boy who lies about which cow entered first, endures hunger and mockery, and finally confesses after his mother’s midnight visit offering forgiveness. The piece critiques excessive severity and honors maternal influence in shaping virtue.
