Haydn! what fault is to be found with it?" "Oh! fault enough; but there is no use in speaking about it now; it does not please me, show me something else." The music-seller, who was an enthusiast about Haydn's compo sitions, looked at the inquirer, "No, sir, I have other music, no doubt, but it is not fit for you,' and turned his back upon him. Haydu was going out of the shop, laughing, when he met at acquaintance coming in, who pronounced his name. The music-seller, whose vexation had revived with the sound, turned round and said, "Yes, sir, here is a gentleman who actually does not like that great man's music." The mistake was of course soon cleared up, and the person was known who alone might presume to object to Haydn's music.

In 1796, he returned to Germany, where he composed his sublime oratorio of "The Creation," and "The Seasons," and died in 1809. His works are very numerous and valuable. While Haydn was in England, a ship captain entered his chamber one morning: "You are Mr. Haydn ?" "Yes." "Can you make me a march to enliven my crew? You shall have thirty guineas; but I must have it today, for to-morrow I start for Calcutta." Haydn agreed the seaman left him; the composer opened his piano, and in a quarter of an hour the march was written.

The captain still went down. "I will make you a present of them." The captain went down only the more rapidly, and left Haydn on the stairs. Haydn, from one of those motives not easily defined, determined on overcoming this singular self-denial. He immediately went to the exchange, ascertained the name of the ship, made a roll of his marches, and sent them, with a polite billet, to the captain on board. He was surprised at receiving, shortly after, his envelope, unopened, from the Englishman, who had judged it to be Haydn's. The composer tore the whole in pieces on the spot. The anecdote is of no great elevation; but it expresses peculiarity of character; and certainly neither the captain nor the composer could have been easily classed among the common, or the vulgar of men.
