A STORY OF ISEKT1IOVEN.
The Great
Composer's
v
Nia*$*
First
Visit
to
Vienna.
HEN Beethoven
was about sixteen
years of ago ho
was court organist
in Bonn, on the
Rhine. Max Fran
eis, the elector of
Cologne, who had
his residence in the
royal palace in
Bonn, became in
y teres
ted in the
young musician,
and, to help hiiu
s
v-
along. sent him for
a short visit to Vienna, which was tho
great musical center
of the world at that
time, the home of three of tho greatest
masters who ever lived, Mozart, Ilaydn
and Cluck. The elector gr.ve him a
letter of recommendation to his brother
Joseph, the Kmperor of Germany and
Archduke of Austria, which he was to
deliver to the Emperor himself.
So, not many days after his arrival in
Vienna, he dressed himself in his best
and started for the royal castle with the
letter in his pocket. Although he had
overcome in some degreo his dread of
conversation with people in a higher
station of life than his own, still it was
not wi thout some feeling of tropidation
that he thought of meeting the mighty
ruler of tho whole German Empire.
Aa he passed through tho door which
led to the Emperor's apartments ho
stopped a moment to consider what he
should say to his Majesty. Just then a
simply dressed gentleman came Into the
ante-room, and, attracted by tho young
uaan'f manner, advanced toward him.
"Where do you wish to go?" he asked,
courteously.
Beethoven looked At tho speaker,
thinking perhaps he was making fun of
him, but the whole expression of the

Handsome, slender gentleman was that
of friendly earnestness. His rather
longish face, merry, friendly eyes, and
the sweet e xpresaion of the mouth gave
him a peculiar power of attraction. The
forehead was high, the nose slightly
Iloman. Here and there were traces of
small-pox scars, but they did not dis
figure tho face. Evidently tho young
artist was pleased with his appearance.
He answered: "Ta the Emperor."
"Have you n petition
"No, a letter of recommendation."
"From whom, if I may ask?"
"From the Emperor's brother, MAX
Fittncis, Elector of Cologne."
"Let mo seo it"
Beethoven showed tho letter. The
stranger found tho address and seal
correct.
"And who are you?" asked the gentle
man, further.
"I am a musician."
"A musician," repeated the stranger,
after reflecting a minute. Then he con
tinued: "The Emperor is not at homo.
But you can seo him this evening at
seven o'clock at his house in the Angar
ten."
"Do you know the Emperor personal*
ly?" asked Beothoven.
"Ob, yes!" said the other.
"You have an office near him, per
haps?" suggested the young man.
"I shave him occasionally," was the
•r.swer.
"Is ho good, or strict?" asked tho mu
sician. confidentially.
"Oh! he's not so bad," said the other,
smiling "though as a musician he is
strict."
"1 knov that he plays the piano very
well, is quite skillful on tho violoncello,
anti that ho even composes sonatas,"
answered Beethoven "but great gen
tlemen do not usually go very far with
music. He showod a sonata to Mozart
the other day, and asked him what he
thought of it. Mozart replied: 'The
sonata is very good, but he who com
posed it is much better.'
"That is a prettv story." laughed tho
stranger. "But now I must go. Be at
the Angarten at seven o'clock."
YVhon Beethoven rolated this occur
rence to his friend, Walstein smiled and
advised him to follow tho stran ger's
suggestion, which he did as soon as tho
evening came. As th'* clock struck
seven he arrived at the Angarten. The
servant at th- door led him up the
steps into a small, prettily furnished
drawing-room, the walls of which were
entirely covered with colored copper
plate engravings of ruins and land
scapes. Opening out of t.b-U, at the left,
was a long, narrow room, with canary
bird cages in the corners, and in the
center a stand, on which stood vases
containing fragrant flowers. At the
right of this room was the entrance into
two other good-sized room9, one of which
was a sitting-room, tho other a bed
room. Beethoven was led into tho for
mer. Two gentlemen stood there. One
of them ho recognized as the man who
sometimes shaved tho Emperor. The
other was snort in stature, and had a
thoroughly good and benevolent face,
beaming with friendliness. Could that
be the Emperor? Beethoven l.au im
agined him to be much taller, from the
descriptions he had heard of him. It
was probably not either of them, for of
course it could not be the barber. Ought
he to speak to thm? But, then, that
would not do, exactly, as the gentle
.n -v re in tho midst of a conversation.
Bo he ctood quietlv la the doorwajr And
waited.
"That is a nice story!" the taller ge»
tleman was saying to tho shorter one.
"Anew war between Prussia and Aus
tria! But this timo not about coun
try and people, but about a man who is
worth almost a province to us. They
offer you thr^o thousand thalers income
in Berlin, while here you receive only
eight hundred gulden. King Frederick
William II. is certainly a lover of splen
dor, with whom Emperor Joseph in his
simplicity and poverty can not compare,
for ho must save for his people, and
consequently count the kreutzers. be
cause In former times there was too
much luxury. Now, I can not feel angry
with you for wanting to accept this
offer. You must provide for your wife
and child, of course. Your famo will
not diminish because you go to the
northorn part of Germany, but on the
contrary, it will increase. Therefore
go. and Gol be with you. I know your
heart, and know you will always keep a
truo affection for your fatherland. No,
you will never forget the true-hearted
folk of Austria, their joys and sorrows,
their gayety and light-heartedness. ex
pressed in song and word."
The words were spoken with such
warmth and kindness that the tears^
came into tho other's eyes, as ho ex
claimed: "By the grace of your Majes
ty. I stay!"
"Your Majesty!" the little man had
said. Beethoven started with dismay.
Joseph then turned to tho young man
and said, with the same affability: *'11a!
there you are!"
Beethoven attempted to make Bome
excuses, but the words would not come
to his lips. "Your Majesty—I beg your
forgiveness—your Majesty told me that
you sometimes—eh—sometimes—"
"Yes, I shave myself." laughed Joseph,
and related the story of his meeting with
tho newcomer to the little man. Then
he contfnued
"Now give mo the letter."
He read it, then turninjf to the othei
again:
"My brother. Max Franz, reconi'
mended this joung nxin to mo as a tal
ented musician, who improvises es
pecially well. Suppose we give him a
trial immediately."
The little man nodded.
"I)o you agree, Herr von Beethoven?"
asked the Emperor.
"With pleasure," answered the young
musician. So they moved over to the
grand piano, which stood open in the
room.
"Have you ever played music by Mo
zart?" asked Jxweph, nodding to the
other gentleman.
"Why should I not?" replied the
young fellow.
"And what do you think of him?"
"That he is tho most musical, charm
ing, inexhaustible master the world has
ever seen," said Beethoven, enthusias
tically. "Johann Sebastian Bach may
stand higher in church music, Handel
in oratorio, but on the stage the Salz
burg composer excels even Gluck in
versatility and in characterisation of in
dividuals and situations."
"Do you know his works by heart?'
asked the Emperor, nodding with pleas
ure.
"Your Majesty may demand what you
will," replied the musician.
Joseph thought a minute, then said:
"Play and make variations on the Aris
of Sarastro,
"m diesen heil'jrcn Hallen.
Kenm uian die liacbe niciit."
The Bonn organist seated himself Al
the piano ami played the melody with
such richness and fulness of expression
that tho Emperor, as well as his com
panion, were visibly astonished and
their astonishment grew as Beethoven,
after finishing tho melody, burst oui
into a free and independent treatmenl
of the variations, which displayed at
incredible richness of form and an al
most supernatural power of harmony.
"Good, splendid!" exclaimed the little
man, with sudden fire, as Ileethover
finished. "Excellent! But now I should
like to hear an original composition."
The young man from the Rhine at
once acceded to this request, and played
a composition which the little man pro
nounced not orlv excellent, but also en

tirely new and original in the cbarac
acter of the melody, and the harmonj
unusual and almost unheard of.
"Well, what do you think of th«
young musician from Bonn, now?"
asked tho Emperor, turning to him.
"He will be ono of tho first master!
of the art," said ho earnestly, and gav«
Beethoven his hand.
"And do you know who speaks thi«
decision about you?" asked the Etnperoi
of the young man. Ludwig looked Al
the little man. Ho did not know.
"No," he answered.
"It is Wolfgang Amadeus MozartP
said the Emperor, with emphasis.
Beethoven gave a mental shout of joy
And now followed a conversation,
(luting which tho Emperor, Mozart anc
Beethoven all sealed themselves. Josept
asked the young man if be would noi
like to come to Vienna to live. No th
wish was not lacking, but duty called
him back. He spoke with emotion ol
his good mother and his little brothers,
and with gratefulness of his patron and
master, the Elector Max Francis. As
the Emperor dismissed his two guest
he gave Beethoven a ring for remem
brance.

of brandy and water, cold, with a little of Germany at tho fashionable water-
ing place of Ems. that monarch paid a
visit to a largo orphan asylum and
school that was under government pat
ronage. The presence of so distin
guished a personage created quite a sen
sation in the establishment. After
listening with much interest to the reci
tations of several of the classes, his
Majesty called to him a bright, flaxen
haired little girl of five or six years of
age, and, lifting her into his lap, said to
her:
"Now, ray little Fratilein, let me see

taking out of his pocket an orange, he
held it up to her.
The little girl hesitated a moment,

"Very good, my little Fraulein and

And he drew out of his pocket a gold

soon replied
"To the mineral kingdom.1*
"Better and better," said the Em

At this question, here was an ominous
silence among the teachers and visitors

It was the 3d of July, lrtoo, when
Champlain first gazed upon the lake
which subsequently bore his name, and
which to-day is the sole monument
that perpetuates his famo. We do not
know certainly the exact hour, but. it
was early in the morning when tho
canoe which bore him glided out from
between the overhanging maples an 1
cedars which lined either bank of !,e
l'ichnlieu, and entered the broader
waters of the kike, writes W. II. H,
Murray in "Ijake Champlain and Its
Shores. The spectacle which met his
eyes was one which brought exclama
tions of astonishment from his mouth,
and as bis canoe swept onward over the
the level water, new beauties and wider
expanses of natural loveliness broke up
on his view. Even then he was a world
wide traveler. He had visited Mexico
era Cruz and Panama. The luxuriant
loveliness of the tropics and the mor
sober beauties of semi-tropical regions
wero familar to him. He had seen the
best that the continent of Europe had
to show. He had gazed upon the green
meadows of Acadia and the awful gran
deurs of the Saguenay. But never be
fore had he looked upon a see no of such
picturesque beauty and such varied
loveliness as this body of water present
ed to his appreciative eyes as it lay re
vealed in the dewy light of thU warm
July morning.
Not a breath was moving in tho Air.
The lake, between its widening shores,
stretched before him smooth as glass'.
Through it the noiseless paddles moved
the noiseless bark in which he stood and
gazed. Behind him came the twenty
four canwes, silently following his silent
wake. The paddles roso and sunk in
perfect unison. The ochred faces of the
Indians and their feathered scalp-locks
showed brilliantly in the morning light.
1 he air was odorous with the p^-fumea
of gums and flowers. II,no and there
lilies starred the water whitely. Large
fish leaped, splashed, and drove their
sharpened wedge of motion along the
level surface. Through the dewy air
came the pure, sweet note of the hermit
thrush. Far overhead tho hunting
eagle, sweeping around and around in
watchful circles, came to a sudden stop,
