A pale young msn wss sitting nj q

"Thsnk you; but we have no music,
and our piano is very bad" said the
young shoemaker.
''How. then, did mademoiselle learn

that the young girl was blind.
my sister plays from ear. She heard
lady in Bruhl two years ago play this
music"
Beethoven placed himself at the worn
old piano without word. The brother
and sister listened in breathlcss admit
ration, as the tones of melody came from
the skillful fingers.
"W0nderful man! who are you?" said
the youth, as at last the music ceased.
Beethoven raised his head dreamily,
and the question was repeated. He
smiled then with his singular sweetness,
and began to play from the Symphony
in F.
"You are Beethoven" cried the young
girl; and they entreated for more music.
II will improvise Sonata to the
Moon," said the musician, beginning a
low, sad strain, as sweet and quiet as the
moonbeams. Then came a light, lively
movement, like fairy dance; then q
rapid, hurrying finale, which rs it came
to close found his audience in tears.
".Adieu," said Beethoven, rising
abruptly and going toward the door.
"You will come again." said the
brother and sister.
"Yes! yes! l will come and give les
sons to Madcmoiselle," he said, hurried
ly. And then going home he sat and
noted down his sonata while it was in
his memory, not rising till morning
dawned.
But the poor blind girl never heard
the great composer more-his interest
did not last beyond the excitement Of
the moment, and he never thought Of
his humble friends again.-N Y. Illus
