formed you that he had given me leave to write a
letter once in a while, when thought he was not
quite vivaclous enough for your paper. The honest
truth is Mr.. Bennett, that before went to service,
received pretty COED education from my worthy
godfather, Thomss Rouike, who designed to make
an attorney Of me; but my father lnterfered, and
said he would rather his son would live and die a
poor but honest serving man, than practice lite
lime Of succt ssiul roguery, and go tn. devil for
a final reward. The result was, that my godfather
flew into huff, and abandoned all interest IN
me, 30 that was taken from the school at Tippe-
IaIy, and placed AZ service not, however, before
had learned 10 read and write correctly, had
made great deal Of progress IN arithmetic aud

cOnsidered the "scholar' in our family. Let ihis

pleased All on board know that Mr. Shandy is a
