breathe freely he thanked his escuer, and praised
his ready Invention, in casting the mlshap upon
the earthquake


. Ah," sighed Roderick, il your Highness
had half but so lucky thought to save me from
the claws of my master! For he will pay me
back my earthquake with vengeance. Ah and
you have ruined my Homer, too, forever"


" Homer!" said Zaver, who had the book in
his hand, looking with astonshment at the ba-
kers boy, who, though under the same roof with
a pretty girl, preferred the company Of the old
Greek. This gave rise to many questions, Rod
erick related his brief history, which SO pleased
the kind hearted and grateful Prince, that he de-
termined to rescue the genius Of the lad from OBJ
security.


Z. Let your master alone Roderick, }" said he,
"and trouble yourself no more about him or
Gretchen either; she'll easily fb herself out Of
the scrape | will fulfil your wishes and send
you to the University Here is money, clothe
yourself better. Go home, inform your master
of your intentions, but be silent about what has
happened. Come to me tomorrow after dusk,

tune. On the following morning he sent her to
say, that having upset the dough-trough by ac-
cident, he would not return for fear of the conse-
quences.


Affairs were soon put in trim. The good aunt
arranged her nephew's wardrobe, enjoined him to
study divinity, and dismissed him to the Univer-
sity, Roderick departed in tears As he had be-
come sincerely attached to the good old woman,
during the year ofhis wearisome apprenticeship,
and while he loved heras second mother, he had
become so dear to her, that she not only recon
ced to his books, but on his birthday each year,
sent him dollar, wrapped in gold paper, to add
to his stock.
