MozART's REQUIEM.

Those Of you who have learned to play
on the piano, may know that Mozart COM
posed some of the most beautiful pieces;
but did you ever hear of his lastf For
weeks he had been engaged IN its COM
position !; at length. every note was har-
monious, and the grati6ed musician sank
back on his cushion in q sweet reverie.
The light footstep Of his daughter entering
the room aroused him.
"Emilie," he called, j" sit down and play
for me my requiem; it is my own requf-
en-"
"Oh. do not say that. my father" an.
swered the aHectionate girl, while the
quick tears sprang to her eyes at the
thought Of losing her beloved ather
"Play. my child" he repeated, and
sing the hymn your mother used to love so
well.n
Emile sat down to the instrument and
began a sad prelude; the father lay with
closed eyes, listening. Soon the heaven
ly music flied the soul Of the young girl
with holy aspii ations, and the faith and
hope expressed in the hymn, seemed all
her own; the heavy weight Of sadness
gradually disappeared. and she sang like
an angel. When the piece was finished.
she sat for moment in silence, and then
turned to meet her fathers accustomed
glance Of sympathy. His eyes were
closed. and looking iniently, she perceive
ed that he lay quite motionless. With a
cry Of terror she sprang to his side, and
there she fell seaseless, for the 6rst glance
Told her that her father was dead. She had
sung his soul TO heaven. cAidreas Friend.
