Mi dear boy, selekt yure buzzum

AneedOte of Beethoven.

had begged of Beethoven to CON-
pose me cadenza; he refused, and
told NE to write one myself and he
would correct it. He was much pleased
with my composition, and altered lit
tie, only he thought one very brilliant
and difficult passage, though effective,
too perilous, and charged me to write
another. Eight days before the per-
formance he wished again to hear the
cadenza. I played the offending pas
sage and failed in it; he told me again
with some temper to alter it; 1 did SO,
but the new passage did not satisfy
me. I studied the other valiantly,
without for all that making myself alb
solutely sure of it. At the public con-
cert, when the cadenza arrived, Bee
thoven sat quietly looking on. I
could not bring myself to choose the
easier passage. When I boldly at
tackled the more difficult one, Beethoven
gave himself a violent shake in his
chair; the cadenza succeeded, never
theless, and he was content, and called
out, bravo" !" which electrified the
and gave me position i'm
mediately among the artists. After
ward, in spite of his evident satisfac-
tion, he said, But you are very self
willed. If you had broken down in
the passage, I would never have given
ou another lesson. ."-HE1ss.

And he kept his word. This youth,
whose energy and pluck had won the
victory in hand-to- hand struggle with
the world, was not likely to be troubled
with morbid pity for his adversary;
and with Sues fair honest face in the
wltness-box, not only was the full
measure of justice obtained, but the
hard grasping farmer was disgraced
forever in the eyes of his friends and
neighbors.
Aside from the triumph concerning
his little brother, the trial resulted
most happily for Chris. himself. While
seeking to redress an injustice and
wrong, like his illustrieus namesake,
he discovered another fair realm-eyen
the sweet old Eldorado Of love. And
now, when the western sun sinks amid
the aowery prairies of Missouri, his
last beams gid cottage porch, where
often sit slender student youth
and a roadshouldered, bronzedfaced
pioneer-the rescuer and rescued;
while above them beams the soft, wom
anly face of happy Sue-wife and sister
and honored beyond all the

The Bottom Of the Glass.

There is case in the medical ward
which claims attention from its singu-
larity-a Young woman with delirium
tremens. She was deserted by her
lover fortnight ago, and sought for
getfulness in drink. This morning they
brought her to the hospital raving
maniac, tearing at her hair, blasphem-
ing and praying by turns, now scream
ing wildly in deliriun, now painting. and
exhausted-a piteous sight. She Is iso-
lated from the rest of the patients. Her
hands are manacled and tied to her
waist. Her eyes are full and unnatural
ly brilliant, turning quick glaGces
hither and thither with a restleesness
that indicates her state.
A hectic flush dyes her ch eek wildly
and the tongue, often nervously pro
truded, is bright with inflammation.
Another attack of delirum is coming
on.
''Jim;' she whispers, quickly. pas
sioDateiy,-'' Jim, come here!-come
out of the rain. Look there! see that
oad-seeit!-God its on .tiye!-help,
help, help! cover me up-hide me
don't let it come here-don't don't,
dont-it burns to the bone-it burns,
it burns, it burHs-O my God!'
!" How long since you gave her that
bromide and chloral? p asks the doctor.
The nurse shakes her head. Ten
minutes ago. sir-but she couldn't keep
it down."
A hypodermic injection Of morphine
is given, and she is quiet for half an
hour, albeit the.twiching of the extrem-
tiles still continues. Suddenly. with 8
frenzied shrek. she rises to sitting
posture, her eyes fairly blazing.
Look at hiH-lock az him-look at
him-he's in hell-deep. deep down

This was agreed to. He sat down on

up and entered the yard.

They shuAied out as fast as they
could, and when they had turned the

Some of our subscribers who have
studied Greek, may have seen the ac-
count in the Greek Readers:
A King of Thrace had planted vine
yard, when one of his slaves, whom he
had much oppressed in that very work,
prophesied that he should never taste
of the wine produced in it. The
monarch disregarded the prediction,
and when at an entertainment, he held
a glassful of his own wine made from
the grapes of that vineyard, he sent for
the slave, and asked him what he
thought of his prophecy now. To
which the other replied, Many things
fall out between the cup and the lip
and had scarcely delivered this singu-
lar response before the news was
brought that a monstrous boar was
lying waste the favorite vineyard. q
The I&ng, in rage, put down the
cup which he held in his hand, and
hurried out with his people to attack
the boar; but being too eager, the boar
rushed upon him and killed him, with
out his having tasted of the wine.
