Auber, the celebrated French composer, waa one of the few people who seem able to perform a maximum amount of work, and yet to take a minimum quantity of aleep. His public career was somewhat late in beginning his first real success waa attoih- ed when he was thirty eight years old, but he had woa that recognition by yeara of previous labor patie.tly bestowed. Herare- ly slept more than four houis, and once de- clared to a friend that he had practically done without sleep aince his twentieth year. It once happened that Sainton, a young vidiniat, waa invited to play at the French Court, and that he conseqaently asked of Auber the privilege of rehearaing the muaic befcra him. " Come at aix o'clock," aaid the composer " In the evening " asked Sainton. " No, at six in the momiog." The young man waa punctual, but on ar- riving at Auber's house, he waa aurprised to find the ccmpoaer already at work at bis piano. " Ah " said the latter, cahnly, when Sainton expressed his amsz -ment at such Indnstr) ' I have been at work since five o'clock." Indeed, it aeems as if this man waa incap- able of fatigue. Hia physioian once inform- ed him that he must leave PmIs for a fort- night, for rest and change of scene. He at once aet out for the country, remained there five daya, workiog from morning till night in hia room, and then rushed baoK to the oity,UaTing thought of nothing during his absence but the score which was to fol- low the one he had j ast finished. He lived to the age of eighty nine, a young man to the very last, well deserving the title bestowed on iiim by a French erU- io, two yeara previonaly " that adorable youth of eighl^-aeven." He never would admit that Ve was old. When some one showed him a white hair on his coat-collar, â€" "Oh," bA said, "aome old man must have paaaed me." "Dan't you think," a lady once aaked him, "that it ia very nnpleaaant to grow old!" " V ery," he aaid " but until now It haa alwaya been thought the only way of living a long time." He died during theaiegeof Paria, broken- hearted at being forced out of hia hablte and aeparated from his quiet waya of life. Stained Hands- Young men are aometimes deterred from pursuing a vocation to which they are in- clfaied by the fear that, being " imfaahion- able," it will exclude them from " aoclete." An eminent meohanicll engineer b^;an hia life-work by filing iron in a machine ahop. At night, after Ida firat day 'a work, he looked at bib aoilod handa and broken fin- ger-naHa, and thonght, " How oan I go into aociety with anch handa aa these What will the young ladies tddnk of my flnger- naOaT' Then oama the temptation to abandon the ahop, and booonw a olork.

Dieadine: Dead- Kaunitz, the Austrian Minister, who died, in 1794, had anch a dread of death that everythiiig which might remind him of dying was carefully kept in the background. No one was allowed to utter in his presence the word "death," to mention his b:rthday, or allude to small-pex. Ltgenious methods were adopted to avoid the prenibited word, while cemoaunioating the fact of a death When the referendary Von Binder, for fifty years hia friend and confidant, died, Xiverius Baidt, the prince's reader, exprea- sed himself in ibla way '*Baron Binder ia no longer to be found." The newa of the death of Frederick the Great reached him in thia way Elis reader, with apparent abienoe of mind, told him that a canrier had juat arrived from ilerlin at the Pruasian ambaaaador 'a, with notifioationa of King Frederick WiHiam. Kaumtz aat for some time ati£F and motionleaa In hia arm-chair, ahowing no sign of having understood the Unt. At laat he roae, walked alowly through the room, then aaid, raising his arms to heaven, "Alas 1 when will anch a king again ennoble the diadem!" When the Emperor Joaeph died, the valet retamed to Eaanitz a document, which the emperor waa to have aigned, with the worda, "The emperor aigns no mora." The death of hia aiacer, Counteaa Qaeatenberg, Eauute only knew when he aaw hia houaehold in monming. In like manner he once remained un- acquainted with the recovery of one of hia sons from a severe illneaa, until the conva- leacent came in peraon to call on him. Kaunitz himaelf had never been to aee him daring hia illneas. To an old aunt of his he rnoe sent from his table one of her favorite dishes, four years after her death. The Expalsion of the Poles.
