New Pork feratd, Jan, 16, The announcement made by the Rev. 1fenry ‘Ward Beecher that the pew rentals of his church hod srerezated fn the nefzbborhood of a milt- fon dollars took wany paople by surprise, and it was not untll they turned to the printed record that they could resllze the atartling reolity, But If Mr. Beecher has thus far been monunentally successfuilyin filllng the coffera of the corporation of which lLe {a the hesd and onimating spirit, his own personal reward hay becn greoter and even more remarkable yct. It has been safd that, like other men of genlus, Mr. Deecher s clronically hard up, and that the pull of the dun is not entirely uofamilfar to tho Beecherian monit. Of this sad fact the distinguished divine mnkes no secrct. Indeed, fn a characteristically Joliy way bie malkces lieht of It, and ncver allows his 0wn money matters to worry him an lota or keen him on a ragzed edee for a moment, ‘With tho possible exception of the Jate Danlel Webster, to whom moncy was as dross and deht a chronle fact, it may be doubted If any Ameri- can ever made money 8o raptdly or spent It as caslly as Geury Ward Beecher.

Then the pastor was rcinembered, and it was not Jong before lie received the then handsome salary of $3,000. I fact, it wouia be a fafr average to say that Mr. Beccher’s compensation durlug his first )!muklru decade was $5,000 per annu, which suu includes what he may have recelved ot meetings anid oa presents. By this time hie was quite popular s a lecturer before Iyecutns, mereantiio nssoclations, sud general socletlca, Like Dr. Chapin, Dr. Thompson, Parko Benjamln and others, Mr. Boechier was very glad to “lecture for what Dr. Chapin cailed SF-A-M-E"—1, ¢, “Fitty dollars und my cx- penges.” Lnearements ‘poured {n rapldly, aud ic soon found that the ouly way In whith he could restrain the rush for his services was to ralse hia rato to 87 n lecture, Butaftera while even that resort fajled him, and he rafsed to 8100, which sun: was cheeriullv paid by asso- clatjous that found it sn casy motter to make from $500 to 1,000 by tho operation.

But the sccond terin of ten years developed the young mau's money-making faculty still moro surpisingly, Ilis peoplo knew the neces- #ity of keevine thelr pastor confortable it they cared to keep iim at all, Bostou offered him the old Park-Btreet Church, and New York was waiting to bmld lim a great tabernacle, cen- trally located, where strangers us well ag resl- denta mizht huve the pleasure of listenlug to his cloquent ministrations, A scries of revivals and seseral_mlsfortunes conspired to kewp Mr. Teecher I Brooklgn, where bis salury was grad- ually Incroased, and averaged during the second deuide tho cheerful sum of §10,000 per anuutm. ‘Fhis was tho terin of his ereatest activity, when he preuched nolitical serinons, sernions on the \War, sermons on the dienity of man, sermons that from his_standpoint taueht men how to serve tho Btate.
