'With the greatest pleasure, Cap'en. My father, you se, had been under the turf for a good many years. He wnsn't a bud man, by no means; a kinder heart never beat nor his j but he was oncotnaion fond o' ter baker. J I'd smoke the day out and the day in. He hadn't an equal in that way, except old Sam Flint, our nearest neighbor, and he was just about his match ; and tell their tough stories erenin' after eveniu', but that afore my father died. My natentl susceptibilities bein' fine, I felt rather bad when the old gentleman stepped out. I used to lay awake night 'after night and think on't, Ooe niht in the fust of the erenin', arter I had turned in, I heard a strange knockin' on the win tier sill, and uidn t Know what on earth to make on't Who's there?' says I. Your father,' says a voice. It can't be possible 1' says I. 'It's nothin' shorter,' says he. How do you like as fur as you've got ? 'I'm not over an' above pleased,' says he, I'm sorry to hear it,' says I. . ' What's the trouble?' li s eenermost impossible to get any good smokin lerbacker, says he, hi a der- jecied voice.. - 'That's melanchully ' says I. 'Cant I do anything for ye?' Nuthin' to brag on,' says he ; but you'll obligfi me by layin a good piece of pigtail on the winder sill, nights, when you' go to bed.' 'I'll do it says I. . I'll feel obleeged,' says he. vsol at all, says i; 'but it it's a fair question, I'd like to know how your time there' you pass It's no offence at all, sonny. I set on b vbame most o' the tim plavin' on the je dai p.' ,. 'iSnust be very amusr.' says I. 'Have you gt'e old thing wri ye?' :I ain't gawiihinJ-ssV says he. Play us up a tune, then,' 1 continued. 'With pleasure,' says he, and sohe6truck up. That's raj ther melanchully.' says I. I know it,' says he ; 'but it's all on ac count of the terbacker 'I'll gel ye some of the raal pigtailsajs l. 'So do, and I'll play ye something liveli er next time. Good night, sonny,' he ad ded, in a more cheerful tone. 'Come again, says I. You may rely on't' says he. Good night, then,' says I. 'Don't hurt yourself doing the miscellaneous work, Mrt-f I I ranmm.nj m tirin r n tiAffaf instrument when you come again. And with that the old gentleman hurried away. Did you place the pigtail on the window ill?' I asked. 'In course I diJ the raal ginewine.f And did he come after it?' 'As regular as the night camo. l never knew him to fail, and an oncommon sight of the stuff he made way with. If all my relations had come back, and used as much of the weed as he did, I should hare been dead broke. And what kind of tobaeco did Sam Flint smoke at that time?' I continued. Pigtail nothing but pigtail, just like that used by the old gentleman, said Sut ler, with a look irrisistibly comicaL 'How was it about his father's ghost?' I said one day to Sutler, as we were alone. The fact o' the ease was,' he replied, I found it took off the change like all natur to keep my father in terbacker; so I told Flint alt about it, and axed him if he could't supply the okl gentleman with a pig or two occasionally for old acquaintance 'I couldn't think of it, says he, 'Ive got a large family to support, and I use an aw ful spnnklin' o' the weed myself. But I've got a pound or two I'll sell ye cheap. What kind is it?' I asked. 1 Pigtail,' said h. Brung it over, says I. With pleasure, says he. And so the ?ex fay brought it over, and I bouhi iL Well, come to look it over, I found ome of the identical plug which I bad laid on the winder sill for the old gentle tnaj&a, Upon careful inquiry, I found ho bad solo several pounds o' the stuff to the neighbors, and seemed to have plenty o' the same sort; although, 'afore that," he used to be Izard up on terbacker, for he was as poor as Job, and an oncommon smoker. Arter that time 1 didn t lay any more ter backer on the winder sill, thinking it best to let the old gentleman depend on his own exertions for a supply o pigtail.' I EMPLOYMENT FOR AGENTS SKVEUAL.

Barrels just re- 4JVJ eelvad and for sale bv A' JOKING CLERGYMAN. Re Df. Bjrles was tbe Original com pound df religion nnd mirth, conspicuous in the latter part df the fast cenniry, in New tnglaiKl. Wiin a good heart, a mind of stable principles and a decent' reTCrence for his holy office, hd nevertheless' posses sed a buojanl and genht! flow of spirits' constantly running ovef with puns and witty conceits, fie' maintained hist con nection with his (the Iiolfis street)' Church for forty-three years. He was a hnle, yet aged roan, when the Revolutionary war began, and in his predilections leaned to ward the royal side. In May, 1777, it was deemed necessary to arrest him as a Tory. He was ordered to be placed aboard a guard-ship and sent to England.. Subsequently the sentence was changed to confinement in his own house. A sentinel was kept before his door day and night whom he was wont to call ob serve a lory. AtJast the vigilance of the Board of War relaxed, and the sentinel dis appeared ; after a while he was replaced, and after a little time removed akogethef, The Dotfo used pleasantly to remark tha he had been guarded, regarded and dis regarded. Once the Dictor tried to have tht sentU nel let hfrn" gcfafiet some milk for his farrr ily, but he was firm and he would not; then he argued Ihe case with the honest but simple fellow, and actually induced him to go after the milk, while he kept guard over himself. . The neighbors were fiHed" with wonder ment to see their pastor walking in meas. ured strides before his own door, with the sentinel's gun at hiJ shoulder, and when the story got abroad H fafnished food for town gossip and merriment for several days. The Doctor had rather a shrewish wife, so one day he called at the distillery in Lincoln street, and accosted the proprietor thus : ' Do you still V That is my business,' replied the pro- pnetor. 1 Well, then, I should like to have you go and still my wife,' said the Doctor. He served rather an ungallant trick upon this good lady at another time. He had some curiosities which people occasionally called to see. One day two ladies called. Mrs. B. was then in suds,' and begged her husband to shut her in a closet whilt he exhibited his curiosities. He did so. Af ter exhibiting everything else, he said to the lad io8 : Now ladies. I have reserved rny great est curiosity to the last,' and opening the door he exhibited Mrs. B. to the ladies. There was an unseemly 'elough of des' pond,' before his door in the shape of a quagmire, which he had repeatly urged the town authorities to remove. At last faro of the town officers, in a.carriage, got fairly stuck in it. They whipped the horses they hawed and geed but they could not get cut. Dr. Byles saw them from his window. Ho stepped into Ihe street. I'm delighted eentlemen,' said he, rub bing his hands with glee, 4 to see you stir ring in the matter at last I' The 'sore in the ground" was healed soon" after. Going along the streets one day ho found himself in a great crowd near the old North Church. 'What is the matter?1 he asked of a by 6tander. 'Why there is a man going to fly from the steeple.' . Poh !' said he, 'you all come here to see wa t l t a man ny wny, i nave seen a norse ay. A learned lady, of Boston despatched a note to him, on the great dark day, in the following style : 'Dear Doctor How do you account lor this darkeness V His reply was 'Dear Madame I am as much in the dark as you are."
