man under these circumstances, went home 10
his lodgings in the same village. He had not
been there long when the Indian having finished
his head dress came to see him. as he said,
though, more probably, to be seen. To his utter
astonisbment, the missionary saw three different
expressions or countenances, on his friends face.
By great ingenuity and judgment in laying on
& shading tho different colors, he made his nose ap
pear, to person standing directly in front of him,
as if it were very long and narrow with round
knob at the end, much resembling the upper part
of pair of tongs. On one cheek there was q
red round spot about the size of an apple; and
the other painted in the same manner with black.
The eyelids, both the upper and lower ones, had
the appearance of being twisted altogether out of
place by the coloring.
Again, the matter was so arranged, that when
the spectator took side view Of him, his nose
represented the beak of an eagle. with the bill
rounded and brought to point precisely as those
birds have it, though the mouth was some
open. The eye was astonishingly we'll done
On looking at the other side, the same nose now
turned to the snout Of pike, with the mouth so
open that the teeth could be seen.
The fellow seemed much pleased with his own
workmanship, and having his small looking glass
with him, gazed at it with great exultatlon.
