was punctual to the appointment. The guests were distinguished and numerous All the persons of eminence were there, who had assisted in the execution of the symphony of Paer, and the scene which followed in the dirawing-room of Campomoro When Fer dlnando entered Tadolini took him by the hand, and addressing his guests.

 'Gentlemen," said he, s'permit me to re- pair an injustice, and refute calumny, of which l have been guilty; and to proclaim ferdinando Paer, one of the greatest compo- sers in Italy. The master piece, which you heard month ago, is It's, aH his.n

 ''And what,o cried Paer, ssof the manuscript of Antonio Beroni?'

 ''lt is all an invention of my own. I. one day, stole into his private room, and copied hls part, and 1t was in exhibiting this copy. of which none took the trouble to verify the authenticity, that accused you of plagar- Ism. Now hear the motive of my conduct: l heard that you had asked the hand of Car lotu Severinl, in marriage; but that Carlottl did not love you. Her heart had long since been mine; and to prevent her parents giving her to you, had recourse to this falsehood My expedient has succeeded, shall marry Carlotti in eight days. Ferdinando, will you retain any resentment towards me?''

 ''No," replied Paer, q can feel none; fol you have prevented my committing an ire parable folly. To marry woman who does not love you-what madnessl l shall never forget the service you have rendered me''

 From this day, Ferdinando Paer and Ia dolinl, were always the best friends in the world. Thus terminated this incident, which was of nature to exercise so grievous ar influence on the future fate of one of the greatest composers ill Italy.
