False Hair.

In the days of the Emperor Trajan a
market was established in front of the
Temple of Apollo for the sale of false
hair and dyes and cosmetics of many
kinds, and it was in its time as fashion
able a rendezvous as the baths. All
Rome gathered there of day. 1t was
in the glorious summer Of prosperity
at period when golden hair was the
rage. The women tried in thousand
ways to obtain the precious tint. They
bought eagerly all kinds of preparations
from foreign countries-pomades from
Greece and soaps from Gaul. The water
from the river Chrathis, which was
supposed to possess the Midaslike virtue
of turning all it touched to gold, was
one of the most popular "washes'' ever
offered to the Roman public. When this
wonderful water failed to produce the
desired result there remained but one
thing to be done, and that was to shave
the head. Then fine crop of golden
hair came. 1t came from Germany OF
Gaul, and from that day to this the
trade in human hair has continued in
the hands of the French and German
merchants.

THE STORY oFLIFE.


JOHN q. SAKE.
Say, what is life2 lis TO be born;
A helpless babe to greet the light
With sharp wall as if the morn
Foretold cloudy noon and night;
10 weep, to sleep, and weep again,
With sunny smiles between-and then9
And then apace the infant grows
To be a laughing, sprightly boy.
Happy despite his little woes.
We're he but conscious of his joy !
To be, in short from two to ten,
A merry, moody child-and then2
And then in coat and trousers clad,
To learn to say the decalogue,
And break 1t, an unthinking lad,
With mirth and mischief all agog:
A truant oft by field and fen,
And capture butterlies-and then2
And then. increased in strength and size,
To be, anon, youth full grown;
A hero in his mothers eyes,
A young Apollo in his own
To initiate the ways of men
In fashionable sim and thenH
And then, at last to be man,
To fall in love. to woo and wed
With seething brain TO scheme and plan
To gather gold or toll for bre ID
To sue for fame, with tongue and pen,
And gain or lose the prize and them
And then in gray and wrinkled eld
To mourn the speed eflife's declinei
To praise the scenes our youth beheld,
And dwell in memory of lang syne
To dream awhile with darkened ken,
To drop into his grave-and them

Anecdote of Beethoven.

Beethoven passed one evening by a
small house in Vienna, and heard some
one play passage from his sonata in
f.
He stood still and listened, and heard
soft voice say: "What would 1 not
give to hear this piece played by some
one who could do it justice |" The
great composer opened the door and en-
tered small room, next to a shoemak-
er's store.
''Pardon me" raid Beethoven, afraid
to come near, shut heard some one
play and was tempted to enter. am a
musician myself" The young girl
who stood before him blushed, and the
young man who stood by her looked
rather severely at the intruder.
Il also heard some words you said, "
continued Beethoven "you wished to
hear that is, you wanted-well, let
me play to you"
''Thank you," said the young shoe
maker; but the piano is bad, and, be-
sides we have no notes."
"No notes ?" replied Beethoven,
"but how does the Young lady play p''
He stopped and reddened, for the
young girl had turned her face to him,
and her sad, darkened eyes told him
that she was blind.
81 ask thousand pardons, /" he STAN,
mered, "but l did not see directly
then you played from memory ?"
Certainly"
"And where have you heard this mu
sic ?"
''In our street. They play the piano
near here, and when the windows art
opened"--
She said no more, and Beethoven
sat down to the piano and began Il
play.
He may but seldom have played
with so much feeling as he did on tha
evening, on the old piano, for the blint
girl and her brother. At last the shoe
maker got up, approached the com
poser, and asked him softly:
Wonderful man, who are you P''
Beethoven raised his head as if he
had not understood. The composer
smiled, as he alone could smile-witt
his wonted serious, melancholy smile
"Listen," he said, instead of answer
ing, and began the sonata in F, which
the girl had played before. Brother
and sister sprang up and screameC
with delight. They had recognized tn
player they called out "Beethovenl'
He had ended and wanted to go, bu
they detained him, and begged-"Pla
it only once more"
| He was led back to the piano ; at tina
moment the rays of the moon cam
through the uncurtained window an
fell upon the gentle face Of the blin'
girl, beautified by inner excitement
Beethoven's pitying glance met that O
the brother, who called out, "My poo
sister !"
81 will play the 'Moonshine' for her,
the master said, solemnly; his finger
were already on the keys, and he bega
that sad but sweet melody, whose tone
filed the room like the soft rays of tn
moon-that heavenly melody which tn
world later admired as the ''Moonhgh
Sonata. ."-EGchange.

There was great Joy in the little cot
tage that evening. Johnny felt as rich
as millionaire, and could not take his
eyes from the corner where the hand
some new sewing machine had been
placed. And his mother, happy as she
was in her present, was happier in
the thought that it had come to
her through the good conduct of her
son.
