Old Frau Goctzcnbcrgcr lived, or rather lives but we will speak of it in the past tense he lived, I say, in an old University to n in the south of Germany ; a very old fashioned town it was, with all sorts of old memories and traditions connected with it.

In the center of this building was a wide, round urched gateway, in the projecting ley-stone of which gunned a stone face. Tne face protruded its tongue fro.n its leering mouth, its nose was curled up, and its ears were jfan unusual length.

I am notaunt to Ida, but only great-aunt to Sanchen, but they are both my children.

This garden, to a certain extent, was public-; that is, was coin-. nion to about a dozen different houses opening into it, and winch were all occupied more or , less, by p 'oplo connected with the University, who bad thus as it were, a privileged private entrance either to the great University library j or to ordinary lectures and classes. Hence it i was that the houses opening into this Univtrsi- j ials Gtirlen, as it was called, brought a higher rent than any others, and the people lesnlmg there were looked upon as the elile ; it was, in fact, the Belgruviii of the the town. On the principal floor of that great, old house with the grinning face over the door, lived the most celebrated professor in the whole Vnivcrsity the Herr von Holloian, Pro fessor of Roman Law; a very learned man, whose fame extended over nil Germany. So great, indeed, was lie, that the King, not many years before, had presented him with u patent of nobility, and hence it was tint ho had on before his name. He was, in fact, the Herr Baron von II oilman; but lie preferred being called simply the Herr Professor, because he hid more pleasure in being a great teacher than in being a llaron He was not, however, an old man; he was only a little turned forty, anil this was his first year at the tamous o d University, when I introduce him to your knowledge. He was a very quiet, domestic man, was this Professor von i oilman, and there was Jiolhing in the world w .ich lie winhod so much for as n sweet-tempered, good little wife and a dear, happy family of prutty children. When he was only twenty, and a student ut the old University of Greifuwald. his domestic wishes were just the same. Hut he was u very poor man in those days; nevertheless he m ido up his mind to marry as soon as ho was able to maintain a wife and family; and more thin that, to many no one else thin tho pretty Idi, the. youngest daughter of old Prof.'ssor Schm idt, tinder whom he had studied Itoin in L'iw, and tho sweet-tempered and i retly Ida Irul promised to be his wife whenever he should he rJidy to crTer her a home.

The children hardly thought of her. so wholly was their at1 en' ion occupied by the wonderful tree, with all us wonderful fruits, and by the lovelv Chris kindchen herself, who, iu soft. owing white muslin which fell in folds to her feeet, and was confined at the waist by i silver girdle, stood in front of her tree. She had silvery, sliming wings on her shoulders nnd a little 'silver crown on her head. Never was a more beiutiful ligure beheld. She looled like i pure angel just descended from Heaven.
