Power of Music, or Mozart’s
Oxen W altz.
The sensitive nature of Mozart, that
sweetest of all musical composers, is
well known. The slightest discord pro
dtlood In hitti fljevepo irritation, nnd when
engaged in musicnf composition^, his
feelings grow so intense that ho almost
lost consciousness of all going on arouiitj
him. A story is told ill Whiliiey’.s A$ii :

tliis. Mdart wasengpg(!d in arranging

who scribbled away utterly unconscious
ol her proscnco. , . : ,
•She ran down stairs, wl(l't teqra jn

husband could dot bq spoken to, and
(hut bo must oqrne (toother timo. H|(t.

would dot seHd hilti nnothpr ovi&co-QJ

znrt, distantly conscious that something
had passed in his presence, had contin
ued pouring tho effusions of his funtaifltt
oil paper wribh thb honvy fobtste^a re-
Hotmdod ill {ho hall. Ilis stick was at
hand. Without turning Itis oyes from
tho shoot; ho hbld liis stick agniiist the
door to koop out ihe Ihfrifdcrfl.
Hut the stops wbrb iipptphuhuig.—
Mozart, more anxious, hurried as fast
as nb fcoulfl, when a rap nt the door de
manded permission to outer. The beau
tiful ctVusion was in danger of boing
lost. Tho nflrightcd composer cast s
fugitivo glnnco nt his stick—it wq? tesp
short. Wi,th anxiety bordering on fren
zy ho looked ofound his room, and a
pole standing behind the curtain caqght
his eve; this be seised, holding it with
all his Ihight dgninst the door, writing
hko fury all tllb whijo. The knob was
turned, but the polo withstood the first
effort. A pause succeeded, \yoriis
were heard on the ulaircnsc, ahd the
intruders renowed their efforts the soo-
ond timo. But tho stronglh o( tho com
poser seemed to increnso with hw anxie
ty. Large drops of perspiration stood

‘ Mr. Mozart,’ said tho butcher.;,.,
‘ Halt I halt I’ said tho composer,
seizing tho manuscript, nnd hurrying
toward the plrttio-forte. Down bo stif,
nnd thu most delightful aif* llirtt was uy.-
er heard rospondo(| from tho instrilrfiefit;
Tho oyes of his wife, nnd oven of tho
butcher, began to moisten. Mozart
finished the tunc, roso again, nnd, run
ning to tho writing desk, he filled out
what was wanting.
1 Well; Mr. Mozart,’ Haiti the butcher;
when the artist hqa finished, ‘ you know
that I am to marry.’
1 No, I do not,’said Mozart, who had
somewhat recovered from his musical
trnnoo. )( u
‘ Woil, then, you kboW It now, and
you also know that you owe mo money
for moat.’
‘ 1 do,’ said Mo2ort, With n sigfi; . s
‘ Novor mind,’ said .the Ifiap, (Ijitler

heart; ‘ you mako mo a nno waVlz for
my marriage ball, nnd I will cancel the
debt, nnd let you bavo meat for a year
to come. ,
1 It’s a bargain !’ cried tho lively and
gifted Mozart; and down he sat, and a
waltz was elicited from tlio instrument-
such a waltz ns tho butcher had neYoi*
beforo hoard.
’ Merit for n yonr,' dji? I say V bx-
claitnod the eiftuptii’rod'biifcchor. * No t

and horns and fiddles—you know best—

You shall havo it so,’ said Mozart,
who could sonreely trust his eafs; ‘ affa
iu ono hour you may send for it’
Tho liboral-mindod butcher fblrfbd.'
In nn hour the waltz was sot irt full or-
cli6fi{ra ^ mdsic. Tho butclior rotu’rncd,
tyas delighted with the nnisio, and paid
Mozart his one hundred ducats—a sum
more splendid than ho had ever rpoeived
from tlio Emporor for the greatest of
his operas. , . .
