BUTTg En E citIPEL,

Which has long been admired by strangers,
both un account of its contracted dimensions,
and the rudeness of its chatecturt., has lately
received N i.onsiderable repair„ but its exterior has
lei-gone no change, except what arises 'ruin a
new Esse-window, of the enetiou form, and• a
&goitre one of !nor panes in the South-wall. The
ulterior, lioirever, is greatly improved. It is flag-
ged. prised, and ceded ; eintwllisliments awl con-
veniences to which it lad hitherto leeen a %hanger.
ft is also furnished with a rendisig-(leak and pulpit,
(a pew, raised u fo't or two :above the benches, 11111-
bw-red, tined this time, the purpose of ho:h), mud a
mould space is railed otl, adjoining the Emit-
window, to point out the *pia where the commu-
nion-utile generally ►tauds ; but Hot being NA-
ciently large to contain one, it is. intended to
place a foul there ; an article that chapel never
yet pos►essed. On the waill facing the door,
instead of the King's Anus, is • framed manuscript,
(not an inn ttttt imtel Otte. Lint variegated with block
nod red ink) upon which way be reads ‘. Gam Ill."
Fear God ; Honour the Kiug"—" The fear of
God is the beginning of wisdom ;"—an inscription
at once expressive of the loyalty of the inhabitants,
mud supplying the plate of those scripture sen-
tences which usually slecoriste the. mulls, especially of
country churches and chapels. This attention to the
place, duly set apart for public wo.ship, however
humble its appearance, is highly cieditahle to the
hamlet, which consists only a seventeen houses, and
which may, indeed, tvessidto stand within a ritigfenet
anf 11101118tOltil L.—The laudable seal of the inhabit-
Rlll4, in so geo.l a woo ko is the 11101'W to be up-
proved, us they hove done it at a time when the
parisli-church (Lorton) is rebuilding, at m very eon-
siderable expense, towards which their chapelry, of
coarse, contributes its pronortiod.
