Timothy Lewin informed his concre gation that his salary was insufficient for nm support; ana that, unless they are will ing to increase it, he must seek another parish. a Ins announcement created consider Die excitement amcngst the people. Most of them thought four hundred dollars was a large sum to pay a minister, and that it must do amply sulhcicnc for the support ui n uimiiy oi lour persons. 'Why,' said Farmer Stacy, to his ncirh bor, Dr. Williams, 'if I had spent four nuno.rea dollars a year, I shouldn't have had a cent left. But I have been eco nomical. I never bought anything that wis not really necessary: I have worked hard; nnd now, besides owning my farm ciear, i nave tiiieen hundred dollars the bank. I say anybody that can't live on what our minister gets, must be an ex travagant or a poor calculator. 'I don't know about that,' returned D Williams; 'ministers have more expenses man you are aware ot. j?or instance, they are obliged to hire a horse and car nage to carry them on their exchanges Then, too, whenever a book-agent.a lee Hirer, a preacher, or in fact, almost any auHiigiT cumes into town lor a uay or two, the minister's house is expected to be open to him. He is obliged to have as sociation meetings, committee meetings, ami an oiner meetings at Ins House, con scquenily he must have more room than he would otherwise require. Mr. Lewis wife, too, is an invalid; therefore he in obliged to hire a servant. Ah! mi 'lib jr Sjucy, the only wondei to me is, how he could linve got along on such a small sal ary, so long.' 'But my income ian't over four hundred dollars a year, an I I urinate to lay by a quarter of it, brides pacing all my exp nses.' 'Very tine; but did you never consider that, while you own your house, Mr Lewis has to pay seventy-five dullnrs a year for the rent of his that while you raise on your farm almost everything which you ratine for the suisti-nce 0f yourself and family, Mr. I;wis is obliged to buy everything that while you own a horse to carry j od to church or mill, Mr. Lewis is obliged to hiri?' 'But a minister has to work only one day in the wet k. Why can't he get some-thing rise to do to take up tin; rest i f his time, and biing him in nine money, if he needs it?" "Yo'u'nro mistaken. A minister ha a treat deal lo do 'utinj' the week as we'l as on Sunday. Ho hast) study, make calls, write sermons, atlend funerals, nnd visit the sick. In addition, Mr. Isis saws nnd splits liis wood, and cultivatei. the little strip of land which he uses for a garden. Think, neighbor Stacy, that neither you nor I would be willing to change places with htm.' Well, 1 don l know what is to be done e can't afford to pay anv larger salary, I suppose,' added he, rt fl ciins a mo ment, 'that we might perhaps get up a donation p-.rty, or some such thing.' i aon n approve ol donation parties,' rcp'ied Dr. Williams. ! bidieve that if every person who is willing to contribute, would give only half as much as they ex pect to, and thnt in money, their contribution would be much more acceptable.' A parish meeting was culled, to con stder what should be done. A few, among whom was Dr. Williams, were in favor of raisini; the ministers's salar to &7e hundred dollars; but the majority thought it would make the taxes too high. One proposed gitting up a lea pirty, the proceeds to be given to Mr. Lewi -. An other thought it would be better lo raise money by subscription; but it was finally decided that they should give him a donation party. The ladies favored this; and at a meeting of the 'Benevolent Soci ety,' the next day, it was agreed that they snoui i appropriate tbe sum or two dollars to buy large spittoon, which wns to be presented in the name of the society, to mr lviwis. Tuesday, the 10th of May, was the day fixed upon for the party. Considerable interest wns manifested; and even Miss Grimm, a maiden lady who was accustomed to denounce donation parties, promised to attend, and carry a large pincushion for the minister's wife. Mr. and Mr. Lewis had anxiously awaited tbe result of the parish meeting. When they learned that a donation party had been decided upon, Mr. Lewis was quite disappointed, but his wife was more hopeful. Uusuaally more eatables had been brought; but now, Mrs. Lewis was satisfied it would be different. She thought that, in all probability, the Benevolent Society would present her husband with a dressing gown, as many of the ladies were aware that the one he now wore was shnbby. She aUo thought that they might receive something handsome from Mr. Barclay, the storekeeper, with whose family she w a quite intimate. Then there was Mr. Cavendish, who had always professed great friendship for that family. He would certaisly bring something acceptable. On tho whole, Mrs. Lewis was glad they were to have a donation party. Tuesday evening same. Mrs. Lewis placed a large table in the sitting room, nd covered it with a snowy clotb. The curtains were unrolled, and lights were placed in the different rooms. Mrs. Lewis was in a state of pleasurable excitement shaping something handsome might be realized from the donation-party. Soon one of the visitors arrived Wrs. Williams, who placed in the minister's hand s half-eagle. ' 1 - Ut. Lewis' face lighted op. ' 'Ah,' thought he, 'if all would do as well 1 should be perfeotly free from care ana anxiety the rest of tbe year.' But the next instant hit countenance changed. Mrs. Jones came in bringing a paper bag full of herbs, whioh she said 'most always came bandy in a family wormwood especially, it was so good to give a baby an appetite.' Mr. Lewis thought that something to saiisly tne appetite would 09 quite as ac ceptuble as something to create one. ' Mrs. fiarnftd cams next, bringing in a huge bundle, whtcb, on removing half a dozen newspapers, proved to be a loaf of brown bread, wlncli, irom its size, Mrs. Lewis thought must have been baked in a milkpan.. Mrs. Barclay, the storekeeper, entered bowing and smiling, and placed on tbe table a pound of tea and a couple of pounds of brown sugar. Miss (irumm brought her pincushion for Mr. Lewis; and the President of tbe Benevolent So ciety presented the spittoon. Mr. Lewis, who as well as bis wife, were quite disappoi'.ed at not receiving a more acceptable present Irom the society, remarked that be 'ought to feel thankful to (he ladies for their gift, though I never had occasion to mako use of suob an article.'At this the President bridled up, and said she supposed the ladies thought it a suit' ble present, or they would'nt have sent it. Besides, it showed that they appreciated his services, and took an inter est in his welfare. Mr. Lewis was silent. The next moment, Mrs. Fla'g came in, holding in her hand a basket with a cloth tied tightly over it. Any one who heard the sound issued therefrom, might guess what was contained in it. Mrs. Flagg walked up to the ministers wife, and taking a large gray cat from her basket, said: Here, Mrs. Minister, is a present I've brought for you. My husband said yesterday ho was going to have 'Old Tabby' killed; but I thought it wa? too bad, so 1 brought her over to you. I reckoned yon mL'ht need a cat; and Tabby's aright smurt mouser, although she is len years old. With that, she attempted to trims 'er the cat to Mrs. L;wis, but j 1st as the minister's wife held out her hands .0 re- ce.ve her, Hie cit sprang lorward, and catching herc'aw in the ubli cloth, drew one corner ol it oil the tablu. toeiher with a glass l imp, a doz m eggs, and a urge dish of beans wliioli hid just been placed there. In the confu-ion which ollowed, the cat escaped, not a lit le to Mrs. Lewis' rcli- f. Not mnny ealables as uiunl had been brought, and everything in that line had disappeared like dew before the sun. Th'1 liildien, (lor e ich l idy who contributed felt privileged to bring two or three) had saved their appetites for the occasion, ex pecting to gut something nice. When tliey hul eaten up all the food which had been brou i'Ii t by the 'party,' thy were still clnmor m for more, and Mrs, Lewis was obliged to bring forward all the pies nnd cake she had in the house, to satisfy their hunger. As it was, one boy who, by the wty, hid disposed of half a squashpie and any quantity of seeds, told is mothor he never wanted to a to the minister's again, ''cause ho couid'nt set snouirh to eat.' Duiin all this limn, Mi. Lsnis had been looking on wilh a rlouded brow and a heavy heart. He had permitted himself to indulge: in hopes which hai not been realized. Most of the things left were fancy articles, made by young ladies; which were comparatively valueless. These consisted of needle books; pincushions, and lamp mats, besides a pair of coarse mittens entirely too large for any of the ministers family. The food had all disappeared, notwiths anding Mrs. Lewis had provided three pies and two loaves and cake from her own store add to this, the fact that the carpet was poiled by the lamp-oil and fan which had been spilt on it, and the prospect was gloomy enough. Yet the impression wouli go abroad that the minister had had a fine lift. The occasional load of wood or basket of apples, etc., would now be omitted, under the impression that he was well supported with all things necessary, for six months at least. And that was tho result of the dona tion p rty? Few things of any value remained. A pair of chickens, a strip of salt pork, a palm leaf fan, a boot-jack, a basket of apples, two skeins of sewing-silk, a couple of pocket-handkerohiefs, a paper of tea and sugar, some herbs, be- ides a load of wood, and a large loaf of brown bread which was so hard thyl it would be of more service in making bul lets than anything else together with three towels aad a spittoon. These were all that remained after the party had gone. Mrs. Lewis was disappointed, she had looked forward with pleasure to the donation party, anticipating that she might, perhaps, receive from some of the parish she scarcely knew who a dress, which she needed very much. She imagined, also, tbat her husband would be presented with a dressing gown by the Benevolent Society. And she secretly cherished the hope that some one would bring a carriage for the baby. But how different was the reality ! After due deliberation, Mr. Lewis sent in bis resignation to his people, being satisfied that he could not hvs on his present salary. They were taken quite aback by this: supposing that, after tbe denation party, their ministry was well provided for; and a oommittee of three was chosen to wait upon Mr. Lewis, and orgs him to revoke his decision. But this he was unwilling to do. . 'I should be very glad to remain with yon,' was his reply to their solicitation. 'I have become attached to the people and every reason to believe that my labors have boon successful. My ministry here has been very pleasant; bit it is impossible for me, with my expenses, to live on so small a salary as feur hundred dollars. But we have given you a donation party, which must have been worth considerable to you.' 'That is just the idea which I expected you would have, if a 'party' was given me. How much, in value, do you suppose, I realized from it?' Not far from fifty doll irs,' said Mr. Gilbert, the spokesman of the party. 'You shall judire for yourself,' was the minister's reply, as he went to tbe table, and raised the clotb which covered all the things remaining from the 'party,' excepting the load of wood. Mr. Gilbert looked astonished. 'I wouldn't give five dollars for the whole lot,' said he, turning toward one of bis companions. 'Would you Willis7 ' 'I should get plagucly taken in it 1 did said the little man, after examining the articles; 'People are mistaken in their ideas of donation parties,' Baid tho minister, smil ing at their earnestness. 'II those who attend them would carry money, with which a minister might buy what lie needs most, or even carry useful articles, donation paities might, perhaps, be de sirable; but as a general thing, people take whatever they have by them many times it is something they cannot use themselves, and think it is just the same as money to the minister. Now, one lady placed twenty shillings in my hand, and I consider herptesent larger than all the rest put together. But, including that, I havo not received enough in valu to replace my carpets, which was spoiled by having lamp-oil and egg) spilled upon it. 1 bad no idea that donation parlies were of so little profit,' said Mr. Gilbert as he went out. 'Hereafter I shall raise my voice again3t them.' A few days after, Mr. Lewis received a note, stating that the parish had voted to raise his salary to five hundred dollars a year, to be paid quarterly, lhis was entirely satisfactory, and henceforth he was troubled w th no more donation parlies. Something about the President and Ft. Sumter. The following from the Washington correspondence of tho Tribune will doubtless be read with interest: All the sensntion statements from here, alleging that the President has issued or sent preparatory or other orders to Charleston by Surgeon Fox, Mr. Lamon, or anybody e'se, for the evacuation of Fort Sumter, nro fabricated, and wholly unworthy of attention. Ever since M-iior Anderson made liis report in detail to Mr. Holt of the stale supplies in the fort, before this Administration came intopiwer, and Gen. Scott advised the withdrawal of his corn-man 1, it has been evident that it was a military necessity, which could not be avoided. The President has, however, as already stated in my dispatches, determined to satisfy himself by other means of information, beside the official reports of all the fatts, and no decision can be made until it is received. Hi) has nothing to do with issuing orders for the withdrawal. General Soolt did not choose to take the exclusive le-sponsibility, and hence referred it to the Cabineit more than two weeks ago, when he was convinced that no other altei native was presented. From first to Inst it has only been a question whether the President would sanction the decision of the highest military authorities in the Government, and not any one in any degree involving lus own individual or official action. This approval or rejectien necessarily involves a cer'ain degree of responsibility, under present circumstances, which the Presi dent has endeavored to meet by relieving his own mind of any misjrivinii as to the necessity ot evacuating Fort Sumter. His convictions are against making any concessions to the conspirators, and nothing but the most conclusive reasons have in duced him even to entertain such a propo sition. In sending personal agents there to make inquiries, and see lor themselves, be lias not intended to reflect upon Minor Ander son or the officers around him, but to ar-suro himself with testimony which will go far to convince the country that he is compelled to allow the withdrawal. New York, March 21. A spicial dispatch to the Commercial Advertiser says: "The National. Intelligencer of this morning has tn editorial of six and a half colums, entitled 'The Past, the Present and the Fu ture,' " which is causingr sensation in politi cal circles here. It reveiws the action of the seceding States severally and jointly, and talcoa positive gtounds against coercion or me employment of fore in any wty, to restore the Federal authority. Th Intolligencer'a opinion is that tbe exciting difficulty can only be settled by tbe interposition of a gen eral Convention of the Sta'ei and that the relation of the seceding States lo the Fed eral government can b changed only by tbeir voluntary return to the Union, .tailing ia that, the editors see no way open but to acknowledge their independence nut of the Union. It is said that many Republican leaders hav expressed similiar opinions, but it ia equally true that thoy ire determinedly opposod by others." Ma. Simmons' Inquiry. Mr. Simmons' resolution instructing th Judiciary Commit-tea to inquire if any Senator had been elected by a Legislator, the members of which had not taken tno oath to support the uonstitu-tion of IDs United States, strikes at Mr. Clmgoian. North Carotin evaded that duty, nd as th Ssnate has the right to dte rmin lb qualification of its own members, it may cost him his seat. Wah. Cor. N. Y. Trib- on.
