against social distinctions.
This passion, which seems t6 have
been the first experienced by Beetho-
ven after he had reached manhood.
ended badly for him. The lady ab.
ruphy broke off the connection with
him In order to rnarrya ruined count
and, to complete the measure of his
humiliation. count, who was by pro-
fession q musical composer, q com;
poser of dance music, who subse
9uently got ballet of his placed upon
the stage at Paris, where it was over
whelmed by the condemnation of the
press; and as the scene of this ballet
was laid in America, one of the critics
remarked that the music was not only
OF the new world but of the other
would.
The effect of this deception on
Beethoven was most disastrous; it
smote him doubly hard, by wounding
his pride, as a man and an artist. He
uttered no complaints; but it was easy
to see that he desired death rather
than life. One of his greatest ad-
mirers, VINO felt for him the purest
and warmest friendship. thoug ght to
relieve his mind by inducing him to
take up his residence at country
house belonging to her, not far from
Vienna. Here he wandered about the
park, but instead Of finding peace, he
became more and more despondent.
The rustling of the leaves, the noise
of the birds, repeated his. misfortune
continually. until, as he said at later
period of his life, he began to feel that
he was abandoned by God as well as by
the woman he had loved so profoundr
ly.r This disappointment was near
ending fatally. One evening he did
not return to the house as usual. and
it was supposed that he had suddenly
set out for Vienna, consequently NO
alarm was excited by his non-appear-
ance. Three days afterwards he was
discovered by a friend, lying at the foot
OF q tree in the most distant part of the
park. nearly dead from want of food.
The earnest solicitation of his friends
induced him to abstain from any
similar attempt to end his pain in
this way, and it was not until many
years afterwards that it became known
he had ever done so. Not very long
afterwards he had the opportunity Of
nobly avenging the deceit that had
been practiced upon him. The dis
tress of the lady he had loved became
so great that she actually wrote to
Beethoven to tell him of their con-
dltion and to ask him for assistance.
He did not comply with her request
openly, but played the part of the
Good Samaritan in secret, for he got
a loan of five hundred aorings, ON the
security Of his future COMPOSITIONS,
and remitted it to her by sure hand,
without suffering her to know the
name of her benefactor. 1t was not
until twenty years afterward that
Beethoven related the affair to most
intimate friend named SCHNEIDER, to
whom the husband of the lady had
spoken of him in very uncompliment-
ary terms. His magnificent compost
tions render him Immortal; but we
can now sec that honor and fame will
not keep the skeleton out of q mans
closet.

less fortunate orders Of society. Even among
