HAYDN's FAME.

HAYDN's FAME.
Scarcely had the musicians got
through the first allegro, when the
prince interrupted them to ask who
was the author of so beautiful q
piece. Friedburg dragged the mod.
est trembling Haydn from corner
of the room into which be had crept,
and presented him as the fortunate
composer. "What - cried the prince,
as he came forward, "that blacka-
moorw (Haydn's complexion being
less than the lily's whiteness).
"Well, blackey, from heuceforth you
shall be in my service. What's your
name = Joseph Haydn" sBut
you are already one of my band;
how is it l never saw you before ~
The modesty of the young composer
closed his lips, but the prince soon
put him at ease. $50 and get some
clothes suitable to your rank; don't
let me see you any more in such q
guise; you are too small you look
miserable, sir; get some new clothes,
q fine wig with flowing curls, lace
collar, and red heels to your shoes.
But mind, let your heels be high,
that the elevation of your person
may harmonic with that of your
music. Go, and my attendants will
supply you with everything you
need.' The next day Haydn was
turned into gentleman; neverthe-
less poor Haydn felt his awkward
ness in his new habiliments. He had
such gawky look that everybody
burst into laugh at his drst appear
ance IN that rig. But his reputation
as composer grew daily, and BIO
soon obtained so completely the
good will of his master, that the ex-
traordinary favor of wearing his
own hair and his simple clothes was
granted to his entreaties. The sur
name OF @the Blackamoor," how
ever, stuck to him for years after.

Louise d d not show much eager

Louise looked over her shoulder.
"Agnes makes shorter ends,' she
said, With dissatisfied expression.

ately; and as Louise, with a scared
face, left the room, Helen sank back
in her chair and burst into tears of
jealous anger and remorse. She saw
that she bad flung away the love of
fered to her, only to long for it when
it seemed to be given to some one
else.
A few moments later Mrs. Aston,
passing through the hall, heard
sound of sobbing, and came to learn
tue cause. Helen raised her head as
she heard the approaching footsteps,
and tried TO conceal her tears but
it was of no use, they broke out
afresh as her mother bent over her.
What is it, dear 7" Mrs. Aston
whispered and the conviction so
close to Helen's lips found utter
ance.
80 mamma, Agnes has taken my
place! No one cares for me now p
Mrs. Aston understood. She said
nothing until the paroxysm Of weep
ing was over, merely smoothing the
dark head caressingly; but when
Helen was calm again she sat down
beside her and drew a letter from
her pocket.
"Helen, dear, before l tell you
about this letter, l want to assure
you that some day you will look
back and own how much happiness
you owe to your cousin. She has
taught you, think, lesson that
perhaps you have needed, my child;
and it is not too late for you to
profit BY it. Just as much love, just
as much admiration as she has gain
ed from us all is waiting for you,
dear, If you will only ell your place
for no one has taken it, Helen /;
it has only stood empty.
This letter is from Agnes father.
He is settled in California, and is
anxious to have Agnes join him as
soon as possible. The dear child is
very happy about it she is writing
to your uncle now. / am sure you
will make the remainder of her stay
here as pleasant as you cam
A week afterward Agnes went to
her father. A remark made by Mr..
Aston few months later will per-
haps show that Helen had learned
her lesson. 1t was called forth by
some slight service his daughter had
rendered him-slight but performed
with promptness and the heartiest
good will.
Mamma" he said to his wife with
a meaning smile. II don't think We
miss Agnes half so much as was
| afraid we should"

MURRAY IS tI0H[RATED
Cleared of the Charge of Poison
ing a Race Harse.
RILEY'S CASE STILL HELD
He Made Contradictory Statements
That Put Him In a Bad Light
Owner Girth's Evidence I'm Murray's
FnVor Helped His Cause Wonder
fully-Doctor Examined the Apple.

The executive committee of the Old
dominion Jockey Club held a meeting yes
terday afternoon 10 further investigate
the ease Of William Murray, eX-starter
the Alexander Islard course last De-
cember for the alleged poisoning CT the
race horse Arundle After due deIiberatiou
the committee came 10 the conclusion that
Murray had been implicated in the matter
without sufficient evidence. and fully exon
Grated him.
The evidence submitted by the man Riley,
who was ruled off at the same time ard
thatof the owner OF tie horse, Fred Grth,
was fully reviewed.
Girth testified strongly in Murray's be-
half, aad il was more on his say than any
thing else that the assistant starter was
cleared of the charge, which threatened 10
ruin his W hole life.
II was found thlt he had been mixed up
in the matter more through the spite work
Of the trainer than anything else.
RILEY's CASE CARRIED OVER.
RIey's case was carried over for further
consideration. but the chances for him
being reinstated. much less exonerated
are very slight. There can hardly be any
doubt OF his guilt, as more than once he
contradicted himself fatty. He swore out
an affidavit however, 10 the fact that
Murray was in no way whatever con-
nected with the case.
The chemist who analyzed the apple
which was said TO contain the poison fed
to the horse, testified that there were un-
mist1kIble signs of morphine to he found.
1t seems thai this apple had been handed
TO the presiding judge by the trainer of the
horse. with the information that Murray
had given il to him.
The case attracted much attention all
over the country and ut one time threatened
TO assume a serious aspect as Murra Y
claimed that he would sue the Old Dominion
officials, while they on the other hand
threatened TO have him indited by the
Alexandria county grand jury.
DID NOT LOOK PROMISING.
As the orfense is punishable by several
years imprisonment the prospect was not
very promising looking for Murray in case
be was found guilty OF the charge.
There was not one person iu hundred
however, who knew him who believed for an
instant that he was in any way mixed up
in such blackleG scheme and the press al
over the country called for rehearing
for him.
Tie officials Of the Old Dominion Club
appeared 10 be anxious TO see that he had
fair play and did every thing in their power
To help clear hinl.
