BEETHOVEN AS LOVER.

A MUCH-ENDAGED MAN.

"The Love Ouest of Beethoven" forms the subject of a pathetic paper in "Good Words" by Miss M. B. Whiting. The great master's career is shown as one long wistful seeking after a love, which was never found. More truly than of any poet he seems to have learned in suffering what he taught in song :- Beethoven's hama life was a miserable one;

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1965.

IRÙNY TŘMT FAILED.

Stories have been told of criminals who be came persuaded of thei, own innocence by the eloquence of their lawyern, but it is not often that a jury is so persuaded without any such intention on the speaker's part. A burglar was on trial, and the judge tried to relieve the dullness of the Court by summing up in this amusing fashion:

"I think it is only due to the prisoner to point out that in proceeding about his enterprise he, at all events, displayed remarkable consideration - his father's drinken habits dragged the family for the inmates of the house. For instance. into the depths of poverty, and the musician's rather than disturb the owner, an invalid lady, bayhood was spant in comforting his beloved as you will have remarked, with commendable and sorely tried mother, in watching over his solicitude he removed his boots, and went younger brothers and saving the household about in his stockings, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. Farther, lastend possessions from the pawnshop. From this of rushing with heedless rpacity into the pan. wretchedness he was rescued by Count Wald-try, he carefully removed the coal scuttle and stein, through whose influence he was first any other obstacle which, had he thoughtlessly made Court Organist to the Elector, and after collided with them, would have created a noise wards sent to Vienna to study.

to Bonn, he was asked to compose a cantato for performance during the Flector's visit to his palace at Mergenheim, and in the midst of the applause that followed the concert, the

Prince asked the ladies if they had not a wreath to give the composer.. In answer to this appeal, a beautiful girl took the flowers from her hair and blushingly bestowed them opon Beethoven. Her loveliness filled hi with an exquisite delight.

Not long after the Austrian Ambassador asked him to teach a young, relative of his. He accepted the post with reluctance, until he found that his pupil was the fair maiden of Mergenheim. A friend warned him of the hopelessness of his passion. The girl be tonged to one of the midest and proudest famities in the land. One day, going as usual to give his lesson, he found the room emply, and, sitting down to the pinn, poured out his heart in a flood of melody, "Adelaida," the wonderful song which has been called the perfect expression of hopeless love :-

"How beautiful!' cried a voice as he finish. ed,

After proceeding in this strain for some little time, he dismissed the jury in consider their verdict, and was astounded when, on their re- turn into Court, they pronounced the prisoner "not guilty."

To the young girl he seemed a madiñan, and, trying to free herself, she 'shrieked for help.

Her uncle, and aunt rau into the room and ordered the young man out of the house, and without a word of explanation or excuse Beethoven went his way.

A LIFE-LONG QUEST FOR LOVE. When he was twenty-five he met the Contessa Guilietta Guicciardi. He writes joyously of the change which has been wrought "by a lovely, fascinating girl, who loves me and whom I love. I have once more had some blissful moments during the last two years, and it is the first time I have ever felt marriage 'could make me happy." Next year, however, the Contessa married a man of wealth and title, Cf his next love affair the mysterious letters found in his desk after his death are the only record, And a passionately incoherent record they are. His "Fourth Symphony" is supposed to record the transport of accepted love. Here on the engagement was broken off. Miss Wing ways—

To marry a man of such eccentric habits would doubtless have required much courage; careless in dress and uncouth in appearance, he was absolutely indifferent to the impression that be made upon other people. His habit of stamping, groaning and howling while he com- posed, and of dashing cold water over his head until the floor became a veritable jake, were sources of immense annoyance to his fellow. lodgers, nor, when je set up a house of his own, was hit can ition any the better.

Beethoven's affections were, unfortunately for himself, always set on women of a superior rank. But, says the writer, "while he yearned after the unattainable, & silent and devoted love was laid at his feet, and that he should have been persistently bind to it is but another instance of the irony of fate." His nephew was committed in the tuition of a paniard named Del Rio, whose younger daughter
