y the piano at a concert, and for one of his
selections he chose a popular air of Mozart, the words of which happened
to fit the occasion, and played variations to it. The house of course
saw the joke, and there was an immense round of laughter and applause.

Von Buelow was once playing an accompaniment for a certain singer. She
had sung but a few phrases, when Von Buelow's admiration and emotion were
excited to their fullest extent; and he was then prompted to do a
strange thing. Rising from his seat, he pushed the stool aside, and
kneeling down before the instrument, he finished the accompaniment in
that position, saying that he could not accompany such a voice except on
his knees.

Do we not love Von Buelow the better for this?

Did You Find that Verse?

Did you find the verse by Alice Cary in that travel story by Miss
Denton? Here it is:

"True worth is in being, not seeming,
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good, not in dreaming
Of great things to do by-and-by."

The capitals in the story, arranged in regular order, spell it.
