To Accompany.

To accompany we'll you must not only
be good musician, but you must be mes
meric, sympathetic, intuitive. You must
know what want before l tell you, you
must feel which way my spirit sets, for
the motions of the soul are swift as an
angels fight. cannot pause in those
quick and subtle transitions of emotion,
fancy, passion, to tell you secret if it
is not yours already, you are unworthy of
it. What when had played three bars
thus, you could not guess that should
hurry the fourth and droop with melo-
dious sigh upon the fifth You dared to
strike in at the end of note which my
intention would have stretched out into
at least another semibreve You con-
ceited, self.satisfied young lady. Your
finishing lessons in music can do nothing
for you. Your case is hopeless. You
have not enough music in you to know
that you are failure. But you may be
good musician and yet not be able to
accompany. If you cannot, be passive
for while. You are of no use to me.
You want to take the initiative-you
must always be creating, you think you
know best, you impose your reading"
upon me. What you will dare to do
this when am the soloist or the singer |
You are professionalism the vice of pro-
fessionals-and l am but an amateur.
No matter; if l know not best, that is
my affair; for better for worse you have
to follow me, or you will mar me. The
art of true accompanying lies in willing
self-immolation. An excess of sensibil-
ity, but passive excess. Yet must your
collaboration be strong. You must not
desert me or fail me in the moment of my
need or expectancy. You must cover me
with thunder, you must buoy me up as q
bark is buoyed up on the bosom of great
food. You must be still anon and wait,
dream with my spirit, as the winds that
droop fitfully when the sea grows calm
and the white sails flap idly, signing for
the breeze. sleep, but my heart waketh |
Every mood of mine must be thine as soon
as it is mine, and when all is finished my
soul shall bless thee, and thou, too, shalt
feel deep content.-7he Gentleman's

How Mozart Died.

Wolfgang Mozart, the great composer,
died at Vienna, in the year 1901. There
is something very touching in the circum-
stances of his death. His sweetest song
was the last he ssng-the Requiem"
He had been employed on this exquisite
piece for several weeks, his soul filed with
inspirations of the richest melody, and al
ready claiming kindred with Immortality.
After giving it its last touch, and breath
ing into it that undying spirit of song
which was to consecrate it through all
time, as bis Circean strain" he fell into
a gentle and quiet slumber. At length the
light footsteps of his daughter awoke him.
"Come hither," said he, "my Emile. My
task is done, my Requiem is finish
ed" "Say not so, dear father" said the
gentle girl, interrupting him, with tears in
her eyes; "you must be better-you look
better, for even now your cheek has glow
on it. l am sure we shall nurse you we'll
again-let me bring you something re-
freshing." "Do not deceive yourself, my
love-" said the dying father, this waited
form can never be restored by human aid.
From heavens mercy alone do 1 look for
help in this my dying hour. You spoke of
refreshment, my Emilie-take these my
last notes-sit down to my piano here
sing with them the hymn of your sainted
mother--let me once more hear those
tones which have been 80 long my solace
and delight" Emile obeyed, and with
voice enriched by the tenderest emotion,
sang the following stanzas:
Esprit thy labor is Ger,
Thy term of probation Is run,
Thy steps are now bound for the untrodden shore,
And the race Of mmortals begun.
Spirit look not on the strife
Or the pleasures of earth with regret
Pause not at the threshold of lmitless life,
To mourn for the day that ia set
Spirit no letters can bind,
No wicked have power to molest;
There the weary, like thee-tbe wretched shall And
haven, mansion of rest.
Spirit how bright Ia the road
For which thou art now the wing,
Thy home 1t will be, with thy Savior and God,
Their loud hallelujah to sing"
As she concluded, she dwelt for a mo-
ment upon the low melancholy notes of
the piece, and then, turning from the in
strument, looked in silence for the ap-
proving smile of her father. 1t was the
still and passionless smile which the rapt
and joyous spirit left-with the seal of
death-upon those features.

Venice by Moonlight.

Then l called gondola, and went up
the grand canal. The purple sky was
brilliant with stars, and the light of full
moon lay wide over land and sea. As
the night went on the past seemed to give
back to the silent city something of its
ancient glory and, from the walls of
many a decaying palace, blurred and
dimmed by MONDAY, there started forth
the fair fresh colors which had adorned it
when Venice was in her pride centuries
ago. Once again, could think of her as
the proud bride of the Adriatic, begirt
with all glorious raiment--with her
mighty fleet sweeping over the southern
seas-with her naughty mobiles planting
the Lion of st. Mark in conquered cities,
very queen omnipotent, reigning in
regal majesty, enthroned upon her hun
dred isles. But who, under the spell of
moonlit Venice, will mourn over her past
historyl What if her Doges, her Nobili,
and her triumphs on land and sea are no
more The glory of the naughty repub-
lie may be gone, but the Venice of the
poet remains. Desdemona leans from her
balcony to greet her dark-visaged lover,
and Jessica trips into godola with Lo-
renzo; whilst Shylock, thinking of his
loans, passes from the msrket-place
"where merchants most do congregate,"
over the handsome marble arch known as
the Ponti di Rialto. The Venice of song
cannot die; it is an enchanted land, and
who is there who has not felt her spell as
he drifted over her moonlit waters BY
daylight, when rain is falling, spirit OF
utter desolation, dreariness, and decay
seems to brood over the city, whose silence
touches you like the dumb agony of one
whose sorrow is too deep and hopeless fol
words; but night comes, and moonlight
decks her with thousand glories, and
breathes over her the softness of love, OF
beauty, and Of song.

The merchant took a penknife from his
pocket and with the keen blade cut the
pages with the memorandums on them
from the book, tore them into shreds and
cast them into the waste basket. Then,
with the old twinkle in his eyes, he said I;
{" am going to open a new account,
and see if 1 cannot improve upon my
method of bookkeeping"
And that is all the answer he vouch-
safed to the Rambler's query.-Manches.

A STRANGER, iourneying in France,
fell sick unto death. His friend called
in physician who demurred about Civ
ing him professional services, fearing the
wherewithal might not be forthcoming
to settle his bill. The friend, producing
one hundred franc bill, said "Kill him
or cure him. This is yours" The sick
man died and was buried, and the doctor,
finding his money slow to appear, re-
minded the survivor of the debt. "Did
you kill him ?" he asked. Certainly,
not" "Then you have no claim ON me,

PURPOSE.
nj W. II. O.

Some worthy purpose in the heart
Can only TO this life impart
That strength which lets no power fail,
That courage which can never quail.
A part of purpose, still, must be
To live in constant charity;
No prouder path has all this life
Than aids or cheers brothers. strife.
Naught can exalt the nobler plan
That brings blessing unto man;
Nor can a greater virtue be
Than open-hearted sympathy.
Thought, always centered on the soul,
VIII guide our acts and mold the whole
OF life's desires, that. when we say
Farewell, no part shall shun the day.
