The use of the bath was as much a ne
cessity to Beethoven as to Turk; and he
was in the habit of submitting himself to
frequent ablutions. When it happened
that he did not walk out Of doors to collect
his ideas, he would not unfrequently, i'm a
fit Of the most complete abstraction, go to
his wash-hand basin, and pour several Jugs
Of water upon his hand, all the while hum
ming and rearing, for sing he could not.
After dabbling in the water till his clothes
were wet through, he would pace up and
down the room, with vacant expression OF
countenance, and his eyes irightfully dis
tended; the sngularity Of HIS aspect being
often increased by an unshaven beard.
Then ne would seat himself at this table
and write; and afterwards get up again to
the wash-hand basin, and dabble and hum
as before. LudicrOus as were these scenes,
no one dared venture to notice them, or to
disturb him while engaged in his inspiring
ablutions, for these were his moments, or
should rather say his hours, Of profoundes,
meditation. 1t will be readily believed,
that the people in whose houses he lodged
were not very well pleased when they found
the water trickling through the floor to the
ceiling below, as sometimes happened and
Beethoven's change of lodgings was often
the consequence Of these occurrences. On
such occasions comical scenes sometimes en-
sued.-Moschelles Beethoren.

BEAUTY or CARo.-What heavenly
view. To the left, long range Of orien-
tai houses, with wooden cages richly carved
instead Of windows; and amidst them palm
trees and mimosas rising in grand pictures
que groups above the garden walls. The
long row Of houses and palaces is closed al
the end by a splendid but slender minaret
and many others are visible in the fore
ground, handsomely painted with varied red
and white. The central part of the back
ground is filled by wood Of palms stretch
ing into blue distance near 10 this, on the
right hand. rise the giant structures of the
pyramids Of Gizeh. They fill the place Of
mountains which are otherwise wanting to
complete the beauty of the picture. On
Tire horizon, to the tight also. the desert may
be distinctly perceived. by the yellowish
grey vapor Of the atmosphere which hangs
over it. The foreground in that direction
looks all the loveler for this: it consists of
a thick wood Of acacias, in the freshest
green Of spring. In the interspace lie
blooming maize fields and directly in the
midst of the plain is small lake, closely
embowered with lows Of the Labek acacia.

YouTH AND AeE.-The young generally
find it as difficult to enter into the feelings
Of the old, as to read with their spectacles.

were once young and romantic like them.
selves, and that it is from a knowledge Of
the errors into which such feelings are apt
to betray MS, that they caution us to be on
our guard against their influence. We
would not assert that there are no preiudices
peculiar to age, or that the young are never
in danger of being misled by their seniors
and instructors-this would be saying too
much. 1t is sufficient to affirm that the in.
stances in which the old are apt to feel
biased, are precisely those in which the pre-.
JUDGES Of the young run strongest in con-
trary direction-and that, at all events,
there is infinitely more danger to be appre-
hended from their paying too little, than too
much, Difference 10 the opinions Of others.

rather than on his relative superiority. But
as he first emerges from the mere level, it is
rather with those below him than with the
heights which soar far above that he is dis
posed to contrast his standing place; and
so the lowest eminence may swell easily
into mountain. and the halflearned man
may be fearfully elated with an amount of
knowledge which would seem to one above

WHAr is MusIc?-I would fain know what
music is. ] seek il as a man seeks eternal Wis
dom. Yesterday evening walked late in the
moonlight in the beautiful avenue Of lime trees
on the banks of the Rhine, and | heard a tap
ping noise and soft singing. At the door Of a
cottage, under the blossoming lime tree, sat a
mother with her twin babes: the one lay at her
breast, the other in cradle. which she rocked
with her foot, keeping time to her singing. In
the very germ, then, when the first trace of
life scarce begins TO stir, music is the nurse of
the SOUL it murmurs in the ear, and the child
sleeps: the tones are the companions of his
dreams: they are the world in which he lives.
He has nothing: the babe, although Graded in
his mOthers's arms, is alone in the spirit; but
tones find entrance into this half-conscious soul
and nourish il as earth nourishes the life of
Plants.--Beffina's Correspondence.
The examiner. [volume] (Louisville, Ky.) 1847-1849, 1847-09-18

PoErs MUST surrER.-The poet can no
more write without having suffered and
thought. than the bird can fly in an ex-
hausted air pump. He must learn the
chords of the everlasting harp before he
can draw sweet music from it. But he can
not play while he is learning; he cannot
write while he is suffering; he cannot sing
while his heart is bleeding. If he attempts
it he will but utter incoherent sobs. He
must wait until that suffering has passed
into memory. There it will work, ior,ify-
ing the soul with its examples, not tearing
il with ,horns. He mast wait till suffering
has become spiritualized, by losing every
portion Of the sensual pain, before he can
transmute it into poetry; because in the di.
vine world Of art all is ideal, even tears
and in its battles no real blood flows from
the wounded soldier, but celestial ichor from
the wounded God.

Spare sDse Birds.

0pare s0e uBeross
By Rrv. GEORGE W. BErHuNE, d. D.
Spare, spare the gentle bird,
Nor do the pretty warbler wrong.
In the green wood Is heard
Its sweet and happy song;
Its song 20 clear and glad,
Each listeners heart hath stirred;
And none, however sad,
But blessed that happy bird.
And when at early day
The farmer trod the dew,
II met him en- the way
With welcome bliihe and true;
go, when. at weary eve,
He homeward wencs his way.
Full sorely would he grieve
To miss the well-lsyed lay.
The mother who had kept
Watch DER her wskeful child,
Smiled AZ the baby slept.
Soothed by Its wood notes wild;
And gladly had she flung
The easement open free,
A the dear warbler sung
from out the household troe.
The sick man on his bed
F0rgets his WEAKNESS,
And turns his feeble head
To list its songs that bless
His spirits, like a stream
or mercy from OH high.
Or music in the dream
Tha, seals the prophets eye.
o: laugh not at my words.
To warn your childhood's hours.
Cherish the gentle birds
Cherish <he fragile flowers.
For since man was bereft
OF Paradise. In tears,
Goa the sweet thing hath left,
Tecaeer our eyes and ears.
