a doctor’s degree. Want of money ren¬ 
dered it impossible for him to take the 
necessary steps for securing this advan- 
tage. He made every effort to save a 
sum sufficient, from the profits his pupils 
afforded him. But these were so little 
beyond wbat was- required to supply 
his daily necessities, that it would have 
been very long indeed before he had econ¬ 
omized enough; and he must still have 
remained unable to go in search of his 
degree, had he not been assisted by his 
Elizabeth. 
Out of the stipend allowed her by her 
father, she economized so much as to 
lay by a hundred dollars. This sum 
she gave her lover, to aid him in an un¬ 
dertaking ia which they were both so 
much interested. This, and the fruits 
of his own labour, furnished a stock, 
sufficiently limited indeed, but large 
enough to Justify his entering on the 
undertaking.
