These peasants lad been playing the
of Beethoven's symphony in

allegretto of Beethoyen's symphony in
A.
The whole family surrounded him,
with signs of curiosity and surprise.
For some moments his convulsire sobs
impeded his utterance; then he raised
his head. and said, Il am Beethoven.
And they uncovered their heads, and
hent before him in respectful silence
Beethoven extended his hands to them.
and they pressed them,. kissed wept over
them; for they knew they had among
them a man who was greater than a
king.
Beethoven held out his arms and EN-
braced them all-the father. the moth
er, the young girl, and her three broth
ers.
All at once he rose up, and sitting
down to the clavicen, signed to th'
young men to take up their violinsi and
himself performed the piano part Of this
chef d aurre The performers were
alike inspired; never was. music more
divine or better executed. Half the
night passed away thus. and the peas
ants listened. Those were the last ac
cents of the swan.
The father compelled him TO accept
his own bed but during the night Bee
thoven was restless and fevered. He
rose; he needed air he went forth with
naked feet into the country. All nature
WAS exhaling majestic harmony: the
winds sighed through the branches of
trees, and moaned along the avenues
and glades of the wood. He remained
some hours wandering thus amidst the
crol dews Of the early morning but
when he returned to the house, he was
seized with an icy chill. They sent to
Vienna for physician dropsy on the
chest was found to have declared itself,
and in two days, despite every care and
skill, the doctor said that Beethoven
must die.
And, in truth. life was every instant
ebbing fast from him.
As he lay upon his bed. pale and suf-
fe,ing, a man entered. 1t was Hum
mel-IIummel, his old and only friend.
He had heard of the illicss of Beetho-
ven, and he came to him with succor
and money. But it was too late !: Bee
tLoven was speechless and a grateful
smile was all that he had to bestow upon
bis friend.
Hummel bent toward him, and, by
he all of all acoustic instrument, ena-
diced Beethoven to hear few words of
his compassion and regret.
Beethoven seemed Terminated, his
eyes SHINE. he struggled for u'terarce,
and gasped, rs At not true, Hummcl.
hat hare some talent after all p
These were his last words. His eyes
grew fixed his mouth fell open, and his
spirit passed away.
They buied him in the little Gene
terry of Dobling.
