when the artist had finished, "you know l

"No, | do not" said Mozart, who had
somewhat recovered from his musical trance.
"Well, then, you know it now; and you
also know that you owe me money for meat. y
81 do" said Mozart with sigh.
"Never mind, said the man, under whose
blood stained coat beat feeling heart
"you make me fine waltz for my marriage
ball, and will cancel the debt, and let you

cit is q bargain cried the lively and
gifted Mozart; and down be sat, and waltz
was elected from the instrument-such o
waltz as the butcher had never heard before.
"Meat for a year, did I say? exclaimed
the enraptured butcher. "No! one hundred
ducats you shall have for this waltz but ]
want it with trumpets and horns and fddles
you know best-and soon, too" rs5
"You shall have it SO" said Mozart, who
could hardly trust his ears, }" and in one hour
you may send for it,
The liberal-minded butcher retired. In
one hour the waltz was set in full orchestra
music. The butcher returned, was delighted
with his music, and paid Mozart his one hun
dred ducats-a sum more splendid than he
had ever received from the Emperor for the
greatest of his operas.
1t is to this incident that the lovers of har.
mony are indebted for one of the most charm.

Mozart's Oxen Waltz.

The sensitive nature of Mozart, the sweet
est of all musical composers, is well known
The slightest discord produced in him sever,
irritation, and when engaged in musical com
position his feelings grew so intense that b.
almost lost consciousness of all going on
around him. The following story strikingly
illustrates this:
Mozart was engaged in arranging one Of
the most beautiful airs in an opera he was
composing, when the butcher called for his
pay, which had long been due. In vain his
wife endeavored to attract the attention Of
the rapid artist, who scrubbed away, utterly
unconscious of her presence.
She ran down stairs with tears in her eyes
telling the butcher that her husband could
not be spoken to, and that he must come an
other time. But the man of blood was not
easily daunted-he must have his bill settled,
and speak with Mozart himself, or he would
not send him another ounce of meat. He as
cended the stairs. Mozart, distinctly con.
scious that something had passed in his pre-
Sence, had continued pouring the illusions of
his fantasia on paper when the footsteps re-
sounded in the hall. His stick was at hand.
Without turning his eyes from the sheet, he
held his stick against the door to keep out
intruders. But the steps were approaching
Mozart, more anxious, hurried as fast as he
could, when rap at the door demanded per.
mission to enter. The beautiful effusion was
in danger of being lost The affrighted COM
poser cast a furtive glance at his stick-it
was too short. With anxiety bordering on
frenzy he looked around his room, and pole
standing behind the curtain caught his eye;
this he seized, holding it with all his might
behind the door, writing like fury all the
while. The knob was turned, but the pole
withstood the first effort. A pause succeeded.
Words were heard on the staircase, and the
intruders renewed their efforts a second time.
But the strength of the composer seemed to
increase with his anxiety. Large drops of
perspiration stood on his forehead. Stem
ming the pole against his left breast with the
force of despair, he still kept out the visitors.
He succeeded but for moment, yet it was
precious moment-the delightful air was
poured upon the paper-it was saved.
"Mr. Mozart" said the butcher
"Halt halt" said the composer, Selling
the manuscript and hurrying towards the
piano-forte. Down he sat, and the most de.
lightful air that ever was heard responded
from the instrument. The eyes of the wife,
and even the butchers began to mosten.-
Mozart finished the tune, rose again, and,
running to the writing desk, he filled out
what was wanted.
DWELL, Mr.. Mozart" said the butcher,
