NO. VI.
BY L'INCoGNITA.

NO. VI.
It was on beautiful Sunday morning
in autumn that full congregation gath
cred at the Gripeville church to listen
to the first sermon of their new minister,
Elder Zcbedee Trotter.
Their former pastor, the Rev. MIR.
Whitehead, had served out his earthly
term of probation and been gathered
unto his iathers," and the Gripeville
pulpit had been for several weeks with
out an occupant, when, fortunately for
himself and the villagers, Elder Trotter
came diving into Gripeville one after
noon with his long, lean white pony, and
antiquated wagon, in which precious
carg5 was closely packed, consisting of
himself, his wife, six little Trotters, and
a pair of ancient saddle bags, containing
the family store of worldly goods, or
clothes rather, and few books and
pamphlets which he sold and distributed
The good people of Gripeviile were at
first somewhat startled at the singular
appearance of Elder Trottef's locomo-
tive appurtcnances; but they were still
more so when he proposed to preach to
them few weeks, provided that they
we're willing in the meanwhile to provide
himself, his family, and horse with a
roof to shelter them, and enough to eat !;
which last, by the way, some of the
moro discreet ones thought would re-
cu;re as much as it would take to feed
a vo,;ng famine, inasmuch as some
members OF the party-the horse in par
ticular, looked net unlike the imperson-
alton Of one. But finally, as Elder
Tro,.er vss of the same denomination
"a which their church belonged, ana
brought letters of recommendation rom
ministers of the same persuasion, testl-
fying to his good character and abilities
TO preach, &c., they concluded to give
him trial, and so invited him to preach
the next day.
Sunday morning CONTRARY to the
lopg-adhered-t custom which prevailed
TO some extent in Gripevil1e, as well as to
other places that some of us are not un-
acquainted with, of dozing away the long
morning in bed, and either losing the
forenoon service altogether, or what is
worse and more unfair, coming in late,
and thus disturbing the preacher and
distracting the attention of the hearers),
the house was crowded with people who
were all in their seats when Elder Trot-
ter and family entered, aided in by
Deacon Maydon-aH did / say' nay,
not all, for here, as elsewhere there
always were, and are and will be, certain
hang-about-the-door loungcrs, who are
sure to wait till the last man goes in,
before they enter themselves, and when
they do, they generally manage to an
nounce themselves BY supdry coughs

Wing Extraragance.

The facts forth in the following letter from the
Editor OF the Madisonan substantially correct The
writer Of this member OF the committee of public
buildings during the last Congress. That committee
recommended plan for the enlargement of the Capitol
which would cost about $500 00O This plan the Pres
dent rejected and adopted the extravaganza one alluded
to in the following extract:
WASHINGTON, Dec IT. 1851.
At is currently asserted here the the hest authority
that the Secretary Of the Interior by the advice and
consent of the President has entered into contracts for
the building Of the two wings the Capitol to the
amount of two millions Of dollars. Now Congress has
appropriated bat 500 900 thus far which has been ex-
pended and neither the President nor his Secretary Of
the Interior has any legal authority to contract beyond
this 1t is a high-handed outrage which should re-
eeive the unqualified rebuke OF Congress. The only
reason for entering into snch is 10 be found in
tho ascerained fact that Democratic President is to
succeed the present Incumbent and Mr. Fillmore is
anxious to give as many large sjo6s" TO his peculiar
friends as possible This the design of this movement
on his part, bnt rather inclined the opinion that
Congress will baulk his plans. Ii is matter of great
doubt whether they viii authorize any more appropria
tions TO carry the mammoth and extravaaant work
his dependents upon the Government The plan sketch
ell ont by Mr. Fillmore will outlay of not less
than i've millions of dollars, while more modest add
ton would serve all the purposes Of use, comfort and
ornament. But Il is ever thus that Wing Admnistra
tons squander the public money. The people bought
the whistles and they are paying dear for it this time
