A Kind Hearted Old Mann.
tSpringfie1d Republican,

A young pianist was giving concerts
through the provinces of Germany for
her support, and to enhance her repri-
tatiOn she advertised herself as pupil
of Liszt. In little town in the interior
of Germany, where she had announced
a concert, she was cOnfOunded the day
before the concert was to take place by
seeing i'll the list Of arrivals, at the very
hotel where the concert was to be given,
an. L'bbe List" Here was dilemma,
and what to do she knew not. Her
fraud would be discovered; she would
be exposed; she could never give an
other concert; she was ruined.
Tremblingly she sought the presence
of the great maestro, determined to
make q clean breast of it, and cast her
self on his mercy. Coming into his
room with downcast eyes, she knelt at
the old mans feet, and with many tears
told her story-how she had been left
gift of music with which to support
herself the difficulties she had encoun-
tered until the fraudulent use of his
great name had filled her rooms and
her purse. "Well, WE'LL" said the great
man, gently raising her up, :" let us see,
my child, what we can do. Perhaps it
is not SO bad as you thought. There is
a piano; let me hear one of the pieces
you expect to play tomorrow evening""
Tremblingly she obeyed, the maestro
making comments and suggestions as
she played, and when she had finished
he added, Now, my child, / have given
you lesson; you are pupil of List"
Before she could find words to express
her gratitude, List asked, care your
programmes printedg No, sir" was
you will be assisted by your master.
and that the last piece on the programme
win be played by Able Liszt.-tSpring-
field Republican.

dies and is forgotten. An infant, a
prattling child, dying in its cradle, will
live again, in the better thoughts of
those who loved it, and play it's part,
though its body be burned to ashes or
drowned in the deepest sea. There is
not an angel added to the host OF
heaven but does its blessed work on
earth, in those that loved it here.

appear! for how much charity, mercy
and purified affection would be seen to
have their growth in dusty gravesT
