THE BOOK AG EXT. As the tun was setting, after one of those sullrv da)S in July, when the thermometer rose to 90, a tall, lantern i'wed, gambrel snak'd fellow entered the village of i" the M commonwealth of Massachusetts. He was dressed in the peculiar costume of a

v.nUn K-rL-nmoisnvin. having on a squirrel skin cap, and double-wiled cowhide boots, which would laugh out j of countenance a Kamschatkian win- j ter. On his arm wa carefully folded a butternut colored frock coat, and in his hand was an c?:tra shirt and dickey, tied up in a cotton flag handkerchief. On his entrance into the village he inquired for the clergyman, and being told where he might be found, started no st haste for bis resilience. Arriving at his house, he found him er joying the cool of the twilight in his garden. Stepping up to the fence, he enquired if the Rev. Mr. lived in that neighborhood f The clergyman told him he did, and that be was the individual to whom he alluded. "I'm dreadful deaf," said the fellow, 'you must raise your voice, or 1 can't hear a word you say."' The clergyman put his lips to his ear, and repeat ed the declaration that he was the per son for whom ho enquire v.u) asked j tttm till nlMorr fi liic T u 11 "Tis Ivn ' an awful hot dav,; said the traveller,! 'but it grows a leetlc cooler as the sun goes down' The clergyman again inquired his business, at the top of !; lungs. 'l thank you a thousand tim . said the stranger, 4l reckoned to have got to the tavern by sundown, but 1 hav'nt, and as 1 am prodigiously tuckered out, Til stay, and thank ye into the bargain,' following the clergyman into the house. The clergyman handed him a chair, and after laying down his coat in the -corner of the room and fanning himself awhile with his cap he took his seat. The clergyman, in a loud voice, asked him to what part of the country be was travelling. "Any thing that comes handy,"' he replied. "I'm a farmer when at home, and not much used to nickuacks. 1 can eat any thing but cold pork and cabbage, and that 1 never could eat since I was a boy; but don't put yourself out of the way at all about supper." The clergyman inquired again, in a still louder Toice, if he was from Vermont. "I'm getting subscribers," said he, '"for a valuable book it is the works of John Bunvan, or Jonathan Bunyan, 1 don't remember exactly which; but I'll see," pulling out his prospectus and lianding it to the clergyman. The clergyman, after looking at it, handed it back, and remarked that be did not want to subscribe. '0 yes," he replied, 'l always carry a pen and ink with me; I find a great many folks who don't keep such things in their houses," pulling out his pen and ink and oflering it to the clergyman. The clergyman raised his voice to the highest key, and said he must be excused from subscribing. "Just as well," said the agent, "I write the names of half my subscribers myself," entering the name of the clergyman in his book. '1 he clergyman despairing of making the fellow hear anv thing, concluded to get rid of him the easiest way he could. He therefore furnished him with a good supper and bed. In the morning he told him, in as loud a voice as he was master of, that he did not want the work and should not take it. "Don t give yourself any uneasiness, about it," said the agent, "I never forget subscribers, and especially ministers you shall have it in due time." Thanking him for his kindness and hospitality, and bid ding him good morning, he trudged off as fast as his legs could cat rj him. About a month after, as the clergyman was on his way to visit a brother ii the ministry in a neighboring town, he was not a little surprised to meet his old guest, the deaf book agent. He was dressed much in the same manner as before; but was seated on a box, in the fore part of a cne horse wagon, drawn by a h,.re that would require stall feeding to make much of a show. Coming up with him, he jumped out of his wagon, shook him cordially bv the hand, and said he was jjoing direct ly to his house with his books. The clergyman said he mc.st be excused from taken them, as he had a set al ready on hand. "No matter,'' said, the agent, "I m going light by jour Iioum; and can leave the books and take the money from jour wife,' getting into his wagon mul driving oil. The. clergyman fearing his family might take the books in his absence, put about for home, and arrived ju t as the agent was driving up. Seeing the clergyman had returned, he said, "you conic back for fear of ruin, 1 pose, and it does look as though we were going to have a Jong storm," taking the books from his box and earning them to the house. The clergyman told him as bud as hcl

could, that he did not want the books, and, thought he was insulting him by forcing them upon him. The agent said he intended to have got a little further before the storm, but if he could not conveniently pay him then he must accept of his invitation and stay till the storm was over. The clergyman, finding that he must take the books or

keep the fellow three or four days, paid him the money as the easiest way to get rid of him. RISING SUN EXCHANGE, BY LEE RODGERS.
