IT is not out of fome men's remembrance, that a young gentleman of no fortune, a flu- dent at Oxford, fell in love with an innkeep¬ er's daughter, of that town, whofe circum- flances were very narrow. He had philofo- phy enough to defpife fuperfluous wealth, and judgment to forefee the necelTuy of a competence ; but love was headflrong, and too hard for reafon, fo that, after a year or two's unavoidable delay, they bid defiance to their ftargj and had courage enough to marry. The fcholar gained a wife and loft a fellow¬ ship, the only fmall fubfdlencc he before de¬ pended on.
