'Ah 1 then lie will hear us favorably!' said Frederica, clasping her hands. Wolfgang knelt down beside his sister putting his bread on the ground, in order to join his hands. 'Sister,' he;then said, ?efiall we not pray also to our great saint, .John Xeporaucene, to. assist ns! yes, to Si. Joho Nepomucene !- an swered Frederica. jj 'Thtn do you begin, sister,' and I will follow,' answered tJ.io boy. . The little girl then said her prayer, and ended by asking for .the intercession of the Bohemian saint, the littU i boy re peating the prayers after her ; and' both Were so earnestly engaged with what 1 they were about, that they did not peri jceiye a man, of somewhat advanced age and of noble "and distinguished appear ance'whp stood at some little distance from the tree beneath which they knelt.

NAs-the little boy remained sileut,his sis ter answered this question. There were seven ot us. sir ; but now we are only two, my brother and my self. 1 I 'And your father is poor, child ?' said the" stranser to girl. . 'Oh. ves. very Door. sir.

Papa and mamma have not kept any for themselves. Every time that mamma gives us or breakfast, and says, Go and eat il in the fields my dear chil dren ; it is that we may not see that she has not any for herself.' Poor children, said the Granger, greatly moved. 'Where do your parents live?' 'Up there on the hill, sir. in that little cottage that you see the roof of from here, said Wolfgang. j 'Did not that house belong to Dus seek ?' asked ihestranger. . 'A musician, like our father yes, sir,' said the little girl. t 'Poor children,' repeated the stranger, drying a tear. 'Tell me, when I saw you both praying, what did you ask for ?' Me, sir?' said the little girl. 'I asked that I might know the way to earn some trioney for my parent?, so that my brothei and 1 may not everyday have to break fast alone. Wolfgang tells me that he has thought of ,a way to get money, but I am afraid If what Wolfgang says is true, that you can both play so well on the piano, it is very likely yon may earn money, and I may be able to help you.' My brother is a good musician, said the little girl, 'that not only he can play at first sight any piece that is presented to him, bat he composes pretty little pieces besides ; papa says so.' And what age is your brother ?' 'Six years old, sir; and I am eight.' 'And this child composes already ?' ex claimed the stranger. Does that surprise you V cried Wolf gang, laughing. 'Gome to our house, sir; satis! vnn ulitall ono The stranger drewbut his watch, re flected for a moment, and then said, in a tone half serious, half jesting, 'My dear children, the great Nepomucene, that re vered saint ot Bohemia, orders me to tell yon to go home to your parents, stay at home all day, and before night you shall have some news. Now go. The stranger was retiring, but Wolf gang took hold of his coat. 'Just one word, sir, lie said, 'before you go back.' 1 ; 1 Wat are you going ta ask, brother, ? rgaid Wolfgang ; 'a tail, beautiful man, with Lbeautiful face, who looked like a king in deed. And how did vou know that he was messenger from the great Nepomuceue?' inquired the muitre de chapelle. j- Oh, he told me so ! And what proofs did he give it?' What proofs ! that is what eoins to see ! be will send you and a gown for mamma, and somelhing for my bister snd a good dinner lor all of us!' M. Moz irt could not help laughing at his son's simplicity. And do you believe all this my; dear child V he saidi 'The fiiend of St. John Nepomticene told me so, papa ' 'Ah, he was making game of you-!' Making came of me? why, papa? Oh, no. If you had seen him, you Would not say tha'; his face is so good-natured, lean tell you, too, that instead of this poor little cottage, we are to have & pal ace. Oh, since I have known that 1 do not like this little, dull room !' As he ulterred these last words, the little Moz irt cast a look of disdain ;about him. In fact, the chamber served at once for kitchen and parlor. On one side was a capacious fire-place, with stew-paOs sus peuded upon hooks within the wide'ehim ney; and on the other, a piano, ?above which a violin was hung against the wall; in the middle wai a table of some" dark wood, and about it a few rush chairs.

Softened, moved beyond expression by ihe melting sounds which Wolfgang drew from his instrument, they all forgot not only the dinner, but the promised visit of he stranger. f 'Gome hither that I may embrace you, Masler Wolfgang Mozart! cued the maitre dechapelk, with i he enthusiasm of a father and an ariist; 'with the help of God, our Lady, and the great St. John Jiepomucctie, thi n wilt be one day a great performer, a great composer, a great man!

'At six years old, to legin a life of la bor, said the poor mother, stifling her sighs who received the child with bounded kindness Little Mozart was then seated at the piano, and then, smiling at those who sur rounded him. and particularly at the little girl, who still kept near him, he began to play. His execution was so perfect, his little fingers passed with such facili'y from a quick and difficult movement, to 1 measure slow and melodiously accent ua ted, that the illustrious audience uttered a crv ot admiration at tho wonderful and precocious talent which he displayed. 'Wolfgang is so well practiced on his piano, that he could play w.nli his eyes shut !' said his father.
