Fritz Ktorner was the son of n tailor at
Brunswick, and his father, who was tolera
bly well to do in the world, proposed.bring
ing Fritz up to his own business. But when
the boy was about eight years old, Koerner,
whose first wife was dead, took it into his
head to marry another ; and from the time
the second Mrs. Nemec was placed at the
head of the establishment, poor Fritz's com
fort was at an'end. She hated him ; and as
she soon produced a little Kturner of her
own, she was jealous of him. Opportuni
ties were not wanting to show her spite, and
though the father wished to protect him, he
could not ;
so when lie saw thra the child's
life would be rendered miserable, and his
disposition be spoiled by injustice and sever
ity, and by the contests .and dissensions of
which he was the subject. and the witness;
he resolved to send him from home, and let
him learn his trade elsewhere. Ile hap-
