MR.. MOTT AND Els WIG.

The following story is told in Illus
tra,lon of the simplicity and wit of the
1'ihitians. A few years ago the above
named venerable missionary visited
England, and being rather bald, some
of his kind friends provided him wig.
On his return to the island, some of ma
tives, chiefs, and others, went on board
to bid him welcome. When the usual
salutations were over, one Of them said
to the missionary, 'You were bald
when you left, and now you have a
beautiful head Of hair; what amazing
people the English are! How did they
make your hair grow'' sYou simple
people, replied the missionary, how
does every thing grow Is it not by
sowing seed1' They Immediately shou
ted, ooh, these English people! They
SOW seed upon bald mans head to
make the hair grow' One shrewd
fellow inquired whether he had brought
any of the seed with him? The good
missionary carried on the joke short
time, and then raised his wig. The
revelation of his 'origina. head Of
course drew forth a roar Of laughter,
which was greatly increased when one
of the natives shouted to his country
men, Here, see Mr.. Mott; he has come
from England with head matched; he
has come from England with his head
thatched!'

USE OF A NOSE.

A good story is told of Mozart at
the tine he was pupil of Haydn. -
Thelatter challenged his pupil to COM
pose piece Of music which he could
MT play sight. Mozart accepted the
Banter, and supper and champagne
were to be the forfeit. Everything
being arranged between the two com,
posers, Mozart took his pen and a
sheet Of paper, and in FIVE minutes
dashed off piece of music, and much
to the surprise of Haydn, handed it to
him, saying:
''1'here is piece of music, sir,
which you cannot play and | can
you are to give it the first TRIAL"
Haydn smiled contemporary at the
visionary presumption of bis pupil. and
placing The notes before him struck the
keys of the instrument. Surprised al
its simplicity he dashed away Until he
reached the .niddle of the piece: when
stopping all at once exclaimed:
s.How's This, Mozar'9 How's thls'
Here my hands are stretched out to
both ends of the piano, and yet there's
middle key to be touched! Nobody
can play such music--not even tho
composer himself"
Mozart smiled at the half excited in
dignatlon and perplexity of the great
master. and taking the seat he had
Quilted struck the instrument with an
air Of self-assurance that Haydn began
to think himself duped. Running a.
long through the simple passages, he
came to that part which his teacher
had pronounced impossible 10 be play
ed. Mozart, as any body is aware,
was favored, or at least endowed, with
an extremely long nose-a prodlglous
nose, which, in modern dialect, 'stuck
out about feet" Reaching the diff
fcult passage, he stretched both hands
to the extreme ends of the piano and
leaning forward bobbed his nose a
gainst the middle key which "nobody
could play!,
Haydn burst into an immoderate fit
oflaughter; and after acknowledging
the ''corn," declared that nature had
endowed Mozart with a capacity for
music which he had never before dis
covered Z!
