Beethoven, born at Bonn, 1770, was equally great in his intellect and his affections. How deep and tender was that noble heart those know who have read his letters to his abandoned nephew whom ne com�mits so earnestly to " God's holy keeping." There is no stain upon his life. His integrity spotless, his purity unblemished, his generosity boundless, his affections deep and lasting, his piety simple and sincere. " To-	day happens to be Sunday," he writes to a friend in the most unaffected way, " so I will quote you some�thing from the Bible: " See that ye love one another." Beethoven was not only severely moral and deeply religious, but he has this further claim to the admira�tion and respect of the musical world, that'his ideal of art was the highest, and that he was* true to his ideal, utterly and disinterestedly true to the end.�Haweis.
