MOzart's REQUIEM,

One day, as Mozart was seated in his
study, in a profound reverie, he heard a
carriage stop at his door. A stranger
was announced, who asked to speak
with him. He was an aged man, very
we'll dressed, and Of noble and impos-
ing manner. He said to the COM
poser
81 am commissioned by great man
to come and find YOU
"The name of this man, IL you
please 2" said Mozart
| He does not WISH to be known
Every we'll what are his wishes ?"
He has lost very dear friend, whose
memory will be for precious to him.
He wishes to cominems crate her death,
every year, by solemn service, and he
wants you to compose requiem forthe
occasion.
Mozart was deeply impressed by
these words spoken SO solemnly, and by
the air of mystery that seemed to per-
wade the interview. He promised to
compose the requiem. The stranger
continued
"Put to this work your entire genius,
for you compose it for connoisseur in
music.
$50 much the better" said Mozart.
"How much time do you want for the
task ?"
Four weeks"
"Well, 1 will come for it in four
weeks. What will be your price ?"
g One hundred ducats."
TIE stranger counted ont the money
upon the table and disappeared. Mo
zart remained plunged in deep thought
for few moments, then called for pen,
ink, and paper and began to write the
requiem. Notwithstanding the remon-
strances of his wife, he wrought upon it
night and day. But his body, already
feeble, could not endure this continual
strain, and he finally fell fainting at his
task. Then he was obliged to rest Sew
eral days after, his wife sought to divert
his mind from its sadness by some play
full remark. He replied earnestly:
''One thing is certain l am compos-
ing nay own requiem it will serve to
perpetuate my own memory"
In proportion as he wrought, his
strength diminished, from day to daY,
and the requiem advanced very slowly.
The four weeks were finally gone, and
the stranger returned.
at has been impossible for me to
keep my word, said Mozart, sadly.
"Never mind" said the man, chow
much more time do you require ?"
81 want four weeks more. The work
has inspired me with deeper interest
than | supposed, and | have given to it
morestudy than intended"
"In that case it is right that l increase
the price. Here are fifty ducats more
for your pay"
In astonishment Mozart asked, "Who
are you?'
THAT is nothing to the purpose. 1
will return in four weeks.
As the stranger left tie house, Mozart
called a servant and requested him to
follow this extraordinary man and find
ont who he was but the blundering
man soon returned, saying that he could
find no trace of him. Poor Mozart had
conceived the idea that this stranger
was no ordinary mortal, but was one of
his friends in the immortal world, sent
to warn him of his approaching death.
Heapplied himself with redoubled ardor
to his requiem, which he regarded as
the most enduring monument to his
genius. He tainted many times at his
toll. Finally, it was accomplished be-
fore the expiration of the four weeks.
The stranger came for it at the given
time, but Mozart was dead.

Shadows OF Shasta.

In tho place where the grizzly reposes,
Under peaks whore Alright is wrong,
have memories richer than roses,
Sweet echoes more sweet than a song,
Sounds sweet rs the voice OF a singer
Made sacred with sorrows unsaid
And love that implores me to linger
For the love OF dead days and their dead.
But turn, throwing kisses, returning ,
TO strife and toturbulent men,
As TO learn to be wise, as unlearninR
Al things that were manifest then.

It turns ont that the fishermen con-
stitute the healthiest class in Massachu-
setts. They are the finest looking men,
the most robust, and with capacities for
great endurance. Their diet, while
actually engaged in their vocation, con.
sists OF Ash, pork, potatoes and hard
bread. with fresh meat but rarely. 1t
is said to be the custom OF invalids
from the rural districts, suffering from
chronic indigestion or incipient poth-
isis, to make an amateur fishing voyage,
and often with excellent results.
