Ludwig Nohl has presented in these vol
umes* picture Of this wonderful German in
tellect to all lovers of the beautiful and true.
The creative genius of Beethoven is admired
wherever music is known, and his works will
live as long as virtue and talent are revered.
Writing to Wegeler in 1900, Beethoven says,
You shall not see me again till have become
eminent, not only as an artist, but better and
more perfect as a man." This aim, which he
never lost sight of, was a secret of his success.
"God looks into my heart, He searches it and
knows that love for man and feelings of be-
nevolence have their abode there. Nothing
can be more sublime than to draw nearer to
the Godhead than other men and to diffuse
here on earth these godlike rays among NOR
tails" life with such an aim could be moth
ing less than sublime. .o- t5.-..I-
Writing to Cherubini, he says, True art is
imperishable and the true artist feels heart
felt pleasure in the grand works Of genius. I
recently completed grand, solemn mass, and
have resolved to offer it to the various Europe
an courts" Abiding to this he afterwards
writes: My chief object in the composition of
this Grand Mass was to awaken and deeply to
impress religious feelings both on singers and
hearers
Beethoven's great sorrow was his deafness.
His repeated illusions to it are touching in
the extreme. "No longer can enjoy recrea-
ton in social intercourse, refined conversa-
tions, or mutual outpourings of thought. :.
Such things brought me to the verge of des-
peration and well-nigh caused me to put an
end to my lfe." Yet he forgot not the COM
pensatory enjoyments hereafter. Abiding to
the Overture in c, op 124, which won him
many eulogiums, he says: What is all this
compared to the grandest of all masters of har-
mony above! above! abovel Rightfully the
Most High! While here below, all is a mere
mockery, DIV rfs,-and the Most HIGH" These
letters thus reveal the inner life Of the great
Maestro, the outward exhibition of which was
the wonder of his age. E. P. T.

The LOST FoUND.-About five years ago
young man employed as teller in New
York bank discovered upon settling accounts
one evening that he was s3,Soo snort. Not
being able to replace the amount himself he
was discharged and his sureties were forced
to make good the missing amount Since
then he has rested under continuous suspi-
cion. A few days ago some workmen in re-
moving the desk at which the teller had for
merly been employed, found gold check
signed by United States Treasurer Spinner, of
the date and amount (reckoning the premium
then obtained) of the alleged defalcation.

A PRIMITIVE PosT OFFIcE.-A German
paper says that the simplest postofice in the
world is to be found on the southern extremi-
ty of America. For some years past small
barrel has been fastened by an iron chain to
the outermost rock of the mountains over
hanging the Strait of Magellan, opposite Ter
ra del Fuego. 1t is opened by every ship
WHICH passes ti.rvusl tho ssraits, either to
place letters in or to take letters from 1t.
This post office, therefore, takes care Of itself,
it is confded to the protection of seafarers,
add there is no example of any breach of this
trust having occurred. Each ship undertakes
the voluntary transmission of the contents
of the barrel if their destination is within the
limits of its voyage.

ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keepit clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted

peared to defend man accused of murder.
Circumstancial evidence told strongly against
the prisoner, but having suddenly and unex-
pectedly received succor Mr.. Lincoln arose
and said that, as the case stood, he could not
look for anything but verdict against his
client, but he asked permission to put new
