This was followed by a wild, ell
fin passage in triple time-a sort of
grotesque interlude, like the dance
of sprites upon the sward. Then came
swift agitato finale-a breathless,
hurrying, trembling movement, de-
scriptive of flight and uncertainty,
and vague, impulsive terror, which
carried us away on it's rustling wings,
and left us all in emotion and wonder.
Farewell to you!" said Beethoven,
pushing back his chair and turning to-
ward the farewell to you!"
you will come again?" asked they,
in one breath.
He paused, and looked compassion
atcly, almost tenderly,, at the face of
the blind girl. "Yes, yes,' he said, hur-
riedly, Il will come again, and give
the Fraulein some lessons. Farewell!
l will soon come again!"
They followed us in silence more
eloquent than words, and stood at
their door till we were out of sight
and hearing.
LET us make haste back" said
Beethoven, that l amy write out that
sonata while l can remember it,"
We did SO, and he sat over it till
long past dawn. And this was the
origin of that moonlight sonata with
which We are all so fondly acquainted.

BEETHOVEN'S MOONLIGHT
SONATA.

1t happened at Bonn One moon
light winters evening [ called upon
Beethoven, for 1 wanted him to take
walk, and afterward sup with me.
In passing through some dark, mar
row street, he paused suddenly.
Hush!" he said-"What sound is that?
1t is from my sonata in Fl" he said,
eagerly. 'Hark! how we'll it is play
ed!"
It was little, mean dwelling, and
We paused outside and listened. The
player went on; but in the midst of
the finale there was a sudden break,
then the voice of sobbing. 81 can not
play any more. 1t is so beautiful, it
is utterly beyond my power to do it
justice. Oh, what would I not give to
go to the concert at Cologne!"
"Ah, my sister," said her companion,
"why create regrets, when there is no
remedy? We can scarcely pay our
rent"
You are right; and yet 1 wish for
once in my life to hear some really
good music. But it is of no use"
Beethoven looked at me. LET us go
in," he said.
go in!" I exclaimed. "What can
We go in for?''
81 will play to her." he said, in an
excited tone. Here is feeling-genius
understanding. l will play to her,
and she will understand it." And, be-
fore 1 could prevent him, his hand was
upon the door.
A pale young man was sitting by the
table, making shoes; and near him,
leaning sorrowfully upon an old-fash-
Toned harpsichord, sat young girl
with profusion of light hair falling
over her bent face. Both were clean
ly but very poorly dressed, and both
started and turned toward us as we
entered.
Pardon me-" said Beethoven, 'but
/ heard music, and was tempted to
enter. | am a musician"
The girl blushed, and the young man
looked grave-somewhat annoyed
II also overheard something of
what you said," continued my friend.
"You wish to hear-that is you would
hke-that is-Shall I play for your"
Thank you'll" said the shoemaker;

THE LAST MAN,

All worldly shapes shall melt in gloom,
The Sun himself must die,
Before this mortal shall assume
It's Immortality.
l cav vision in my sleep,
That gave my spirit strength to weep
AdOWn the gulf of Time!
l saw the last of human mold,
That shall Creations death behold,
AS Adam saw her prime!
The Suns eye had a sickly glare;
The Earth with age was wan;
The skeletons of nations were
Around that lonely man!
Some had expired in fght-the brands
Still rusted in their bony hands;
In plague and famine some!
Earth's cities had no sound or tread,
And ships were drifting with the dead
To shores where all was dumb.
Yet p!ophet-like, that lone one stood,
With dauntless words and high,
That shook the scar leaves from the
wood,
AS if a storm passed by,
Saying: 1--WE are twins in death, proud
Sun;
Thy face is cold, thy race is run;
'Tis Mercy bids thee go;
For thou, ten thousand thousand years
Hast seen the tide of human tears,
That shall no longer flow.
,.,,,, ~
"This spirit shall return to Him
That gave it's heavenly spark;
Yet think not, Sun it shall be dim
When thou thyself art dark!
No! it shall live again, and shine
In bliss unknown to beams of thine,
BY Him recalled to breath,
Who captive led captivity,
Who robbed the grave of victory,
And took the sting from Death!
Co. Sun, while Mercy holds me up
On Natures awful waste,
To drink this last and bitter cup
OF grief that man shall taste
Go, tell the Night that hides thy face,
Thou saw'st the last Of Adams race,
On Earth's sepulchral clod
The darkening universe defy
To quench his immortality.
Or shake his trust in God!"

mo music!" echoed my friend.
How, then, does the Fraulein--"
He paused, and colored up, for the
girl looked full at him, and he saw
that she was blind.
"I-I entreat your pardon!" "he STAN
mered. but I had not perceived be-
fore. Then you play by ear?"
ENTIRELY"
'And where do you hear the music
since you frequent no concerts?"
Il used to hear a lady practicing
near us, when We lived in Bruhl two
years ago. During the summer even
ings her windows were generally open.
and l walked to and fro outside to
listen to her"
She seemed shy; so Beethoven said
no more, but seated himself quietly
before the piaro. and began TO play.
He had no sooner struck the first
chord than | knew what would follow
how grand he would be that night
And | was not mistaken. Never, du-
ring all the years | knew him, did [
hear him play as he then played to
that blind girl and her brother. He
was inspired; and from the instant
when his fingers began to wander
along the keys, the very tone of the
instrument began to grow sweeter and
more equal.
The brother and sister were silent
with wonder and rapture. The folm-
er laid aside his work; the latter, with
her head bent slightly forward, and
her hands pressed tightly over her
breast, crOuched down near the end of
the harpischOrd, as if fearful lest even
the beating of her heart shoull break
the flow of those magical, sweet
sounds. 1t was as if we were all
bound in a strange dream, and only
feared to wake.
Suddenly the flame of the single
candle wavered, sank, f1ickered and
went out Beethoven paused, and
threw open the shutters, admitting a
flood of brilliant moonlight. The room
was almost as light as before, and
the illumination fell strongest upon
the piano and player. But the chain
of his ideas seemed to have been
broken by the accident. His head
dropped upon his breast; his hands
rested upon his knees; he seemed
absorbed in meditation. 1t was thus
for some time.
At length the young shoemaker
rose, and approached him eagerly, yet
reverently. Wonderful mani" he
said, in a low tone. who and what
are you?"
The composer snuled as he only
could smile, benevolen1y, indulgent-

massive figure. 81 will improvise a

DYING WITH A SONG ON HIS LIPS.
The Fate of Nichols Crouch, Author
of "Kathleen Mavourneen."

8,
a romance from it's first chapter to
it's fast approaching end. They say
those who watch him-that at times
in his illness his mind wanders and
he huns and thrums the old songs.
There is infinite sadness in this, for
the songs this old man sings are the
songs he wrote years ago; songs which
men and women on every continent
have sung and will sing, doubtless
for decades to come.
The song which the dying old man
repeats most often is Kathleen Nav
oureen," and the singer and the au-
thor is Frederick Nichols Crouch. 1t
is not extravagant praise to class
him as a genius. He is "a now, and
the world has forgotten him; but at
so he was in the prime of a career
which had been continuously honora-
Bile and notable, and which bade fair
to bring forth even better triumphs.
In those days Professor Nichols
Crouch was one of the famous musi-
clans and composers of the world
Twenty years later, by a strange sue
cession of vicissitudes, he had fallen
into obscurity and poverty, and was a
day laborer at wages hardly sufficient
to feed his numerous family.
His Strange Daughter.
In one respect he had long been Pc
culiarly sensitive, though at the cost
OF censure, for in his action was in
volved the question of famous wo-
mans paternity. That woman was
Cora Pearl. No greater demi-mondaine
ever lived than this once queen of Par
isian badness. According to her own
statement, made in her published me-
mOirs, Frederick Nichols Crouch was
her father. She told the story of her
birth so circumstantially as to con-
vince all who read it of it's truth but
from Crouch there was no confirma.
ton, though he never uttered an ex-
plicit denial. He simply went back
into his hermitage, and there he is
dying
Cora Pearl would not now need men
tiOn but for the memories awakened
by the sad condition of the man she
called father. He has deserved bet
ter luck, surely. Not only Irishmen
the world over, but every person who
loves graceful music and has a soft
spot in his heart, will regret to hear
that the man who wrote Kathleen
Mavourneen" is passing away. He was
the friend and companion of the writ
er of Home, Sweet Home; of Sheri-
dan Knowles, the dramatist; of Mrs.
Hemans, that sweet and gentle poet
ess, and of Mrs. Crawford. 1t was
Mrs. Crawfords pen that gave to
Crouch the inspiration for his best
song, for the words Of Kathleen Nav
ourneen" are hers:
Kathleen Mavourneen, awake from thy
slumbers,
The blue mountains glow in the
suns golden light;
All! where Is the spell that once hung
on my numbers?
Arise, in thy beauty, thou star of my
night!
