Beethoven's Moonlight Sonat?.. It happened at Hoon. * * Om moonlight winter's cv.mug T called upon Beethoven, for I wanted him to taken walk, nnd afterwards sup wit it mc In passing through some dark, narrow street he paused suddenly*. "Hush."' lie said, "what sound i; that? it is from my symphony in IV" he said eagerly. "*J-i:ti-a. how well it is played!" lt, was ?1 little moan dwelling, azul we. paused outside ned listened. The player went ott. hut in the midst of the linnie there, was a sudden break, tin 11 the voice of sob? bing-. "I cann yt play any mon - il is so beautiful, it ts s<. utterly beyond my power to do it justice! ( >, what, would J. not give to g<> to the concert at Cologne!" "Ah, my, sister," saul her companion, "why create regret** whei'O there is no remedy? We etui scarcely pay our rent." "You aie right-and ytl I wish for one?; in my life to hear some, really good music. But ii. Ls of no usc." ?h'othoven looked tit me. "Let us go in." he. saut. "Go in!" I exclaimed. "What can we go in for?" "I will play to her,"' he said, in au excited tone. "Hereis feeling-genius understand? ing. I will play to her, ami she will appreciate it." And before 1 could preven!, him Iii-; hand was upon the door. A pale young man was sitting by the table, making shoes; and near him. li aning sorrow fully upon an old fashioned harpsichord, sat ti young girl, with ti profusion of light hair falling over her bent face. Both were cleanly, bur very poorly dressed, and both started ami turned toward ns as we entered. "Pardon mo," said Beethoven, "but 1 heard music and was tempted to inter, l um a mu? sician." Tho girl blushed, and the young man looked grave- somewhat annoyed. "I-I also overheard some? thing of what you said." continued my friend. "You wish to hear- -thal is you would like -that is-shall I play for you?" There was something so odd in the whole affair, and something so eccen? tric and pleasant in thc manner of the speaker, that thc ice seemed broken in a. moment, and all smiled involunta? rily. "Thank you," said thc shoe? maker; "but our harpsichord is wretched, and we have no music." "No music," echoed my friend. "How, then, does tho fraulein Ho paused and colored tri), for thc girl looked round full at him, and he saw that she- was blind. "I-I , ntreat your pardon," he stammered; "but I had not perceived before. Thea yon play from ear!" "Entirely." "And where do you hear thc music, sine:: yon frequent no concerts?" "I used to hear a lady practicing near ns when wo lived at Br?hl two years. Daring tho summer evenings her window wu> generally open, and 1 walked to and fro outside to lister, to her." "Ami have you never heard any music?' "None-oxecpting street music." She seemed shy, s:> Beethoven said nc moro, bttt seated himself quietly bfcfort tho piu.:;^, and began to play. Hf had ii-; soonw struck the nrst chore! than t knew what would fellow-hotv grand he v. otild bc that night! And J was not mistaken. Never, duran** all the year? I know him, ?lid T hcsir him play as ho then played to that blind girl and her brother! Ho wis in? spired; and from the instant tiiat his fingers bogan to wander along tho keys, thc very tones of tho instrument begin to grow sweeter and more equal. The brother and sister were silent with wonder and rapture. Tho former laid aside his work; tho latter, with her head bent slightly forward, and her hands pressed tightly over her brea-d, crouched down near tho end of the harpsichord, as if fearful lest even i the beating of*her heart should break j thetiowot' those magical sweet sound:;, i It wa:: as if we were ..ll bound in a (strange dream, ned only feared to I wake. Suddenly the tia me of the j single candi? waver? d. sunk, flickered, j and went out. Beethoven paused, ! and I threw open the shutter.:, admit- i J ting a Hood of brilliant moonlight. .
