lived in a good, comfortable house, with an orchard round
it; he had plenty of good, old-fashioned furniture; he
kept some good cider in his cellar ; he wore broad
cloth and top boots on market days and Sundays ; he
was a churchwarden, and all the bdys and labour-
ers in the parish touched their hats to him when
they met him ; he was up early and late ; he worked
hard himself, and never indulged in any extravagance, and
yet, when he was 35 years old, he found that after a bad
harvest and some ill-luck with his cattle, he was some
hundred pounds poorer than when he left his father's
house nine years before ; he had a wife and five children,
and saw more chance of five more than of being able to
save £lOOO for them. He determined to emigrate ; his wife
who was a spirited woman, encouraged him : he sold off
everything, and sailed for New South Wales about seven-
teen years ago. He bought 500 acres of fine rich land,
unencumbered with trees, from a person who had
received a grant from the Crown; got a slab hut
built, and had to wear fustian and work like a labourer ;
he was far away in the country, almost alone. For five
years he had few comforts, but in ten years he had a good
house over his head, a good farm, his own freehold. grow-
ing plenty of wheat and indian corn, a herd of first-rate
horses, 1000 head of cattle, and ten children, all of whom
he could provide for with land and cattle, without putting
his hand in his pocket. By this time, no doubt, his elder
daughters are all married, and the sons he took out com-
fortably settled. What would he have been in England,
with such a family, as a tenant farmer?
But every man, before setting out as an emigrant,
should be sure that he has good reason for going. He
should not, in the words of a celebrated author, leave his
native country " for ill-temp?r, or to be pitied, or to be
regretted, or from ignorance of what is going to happen to
him, or because he is a poet; but because he has not
enough to eat here, and is sure of abundance where he is
going."
