Last Siiml.iv there were tuken up in the various Epirropal churches in our city collections to nid tlio f.uiiily of Hie late liev. George Dur borow, a minister of notxl Htmutinu;, wlio whs recently deceased. Mr. Im lorow died literally pennllews, leaving n widow and six children. For twenty years lie had been a faithful Chris tian, a devoted pastor, and an exemplary man. lie had fulfilled his mission in our city with the utmost fervor, and yet, after all these year of service, he died destitute. This circumstance, so vividly called before the public, lias directed in quiry to the inadequacy of the salaries of certain clergymen, and as a consequence to the exor bitant receipts of certain others; and the people lire asking whether it is just to those who claim to be laborers in the "Lord's vineyard," that one j equally faithful should starve and the oilier be j clothed sumptuously in purple and fine linen ? A. little examination will convince auy j oue that the whole practise of j salaries us ut present conducted is at i variance with the theory of "usefulness" which I the clergy claim to be the basis of their actions. The doctrine so firmly adhered by the gentle men of the cloth is this: "That they are called by the Lord to labor for the salvation of souls, and that wherever their usefulness is greatest there is the place to which it is their duty and their pleasure to go." If they be all eolaborcrs, why should some who are the most faithful, the most self-sacrificing, the- most useful, be the worst paid? "Why should Mr. Durborrow have his feet blistered from walking among the poor and be in need of shoes, while the llev. Dr. This or the I?ev. Dr. That can be sent abroad because he has n dizziness of the brain from eating too much turtle soup at dinner? These arc common sense questions, and questions, too, which common-sense people are asking themselves. It may be said that the purple-aiul-nne-linen clergy have more ability than their more iudustrious brethren, and that therefore they should be better paid. If that be the basis of argument, well and good. The pulpit, then, is nothing but a market for the Bale of talent; it is a profession to which men resort to get a living. It is, like the bar, a battle of ability, in which he who has the 'most receives the most money. )Ve are Teady to accept of this view of the situation. But If you compete, gentlemen of the cloth, with the lawyer, the doctor, or the editor, do not claim, in the race for wealth, the superior mo-' tive of being led by "usefulness." If you will consent to be considered like other mortals working for a living, we arc ready to admit you to the competition of intellect, but we arc not willing that when you draw your jj5000 per annum you should "thank God you are not us Other men are," and tell us that your $500!) come from your "Held of usefulness" and our $5000 from secular gain. If you come down to this standard we h.ivo no objections, but when you do, remember that it is cant and hypocrisy to talk about "fields of usefulness." As well might the California miner, when he leaves for a richer "digging," explain his action on the ground of "usefulness." Now the conduct of the various churches of nearly all denominations, in their starvation diet to some and their partiality to others of their clergymen, has given a good foundation to the View of the ministry being a business. When churches seek to buy ministers from other churches by offering higher salaries, and when ministers arc ready to be bought, why should it be called a lack of charity for people to say that brains in the pulpit, like brains at the bar, can be got by the highest bidder? There are, thank God! hi the Church some good men, who, with an eye single to their Master's ser vice, will conscientiously labor in His cause through weal or woe men who seek the poor and needy, who receive the $000 a year paid thorn, and work with all their energy men who count nothing as gain, if It weighs against duty. All honor to such. They are the ten righteous men who save our modern Sodom ; they are the living examples who keep alive the public faith in the great truths of Christianity: and it is to them that the people owe the fact that we do not retrograde towards barbarism. To them we give all praise, and it Is in their cause we now com- plalu of the faults wliifm exist in our churchc; If it were not for them, all the world would call the ministry a profession and a business. That they do so in many cases, and that there is ground for such a judgment, Is shown by a recent example. A minister In Washington was called to a ncMi boring city, lie wrote in rcifly expressing his willingness to change his "field of usefulness," provided that the salary should bo $4500, ho ehould have a newly furnished parsonage, rent iree, and be allowed six weeks' recess in the sum mer for recreation. He still remains In Wash ington, the flock not caring to woo such a .fasti dious pastor. Now had this gentleman, m act ing, as he did, stateu irauKiy mat ne was a man of business and would go to the place that paid him best, we would have known how he stood, and might have respected his frankness. But when he puts his action on the score of doing more good in the $4500 place than he did in the $15000, he acts the hypo- crite and disgraces the cloth. Like the Deputy Shepherd in "Pickwick," while all "things is vanity, vet the least vanity is a utile brandy, with warm water and three lumps of white mi war." So with our Washington divine: the least of the vanities of life Js the house, salary and vacation, and these lie Is willing to indulge In. Such men are doing the greatest harm to the cause of religion; they are keeping back those who would otherwise come forward and join the church; they are stumbling-blocks in the way of the sinner. The system wuicii win loieraic much less encourage, such a class of men is a public wrong, and should bo denounced. Kather than have it, wo would prefer to have the Quaker otnm rf no naid preachers. Better to have consistent action and extempore sermons than rhetoric and irlarlng Inconsistency. Now what is the remedy for the evil which will let Mr. Durborow starve and Dr. bask iu Italy because of indigestion? We llud It in a total renovation or the system oi saiancs. j.e the conventions, synods, or whoever has the oower. make some arrangement ior mo quau ,,f n,n riff-irtfl of the clergv. Lot some I'lau tc devlicJ 0 tfcat Mr. Diuboiw dull not receive fGOO and Mr. $5000. Let each re ceive $2000, and then each can live. If they both arc equally faithful, they should be equally well pnld; and we answer for it that in nine cases out of ten the one who nowgets $800 does better service than he who gets $5000. Suppose it does cut down the receipts of some In our city. What of It ? Did they enter the ministry for a living? If so, tlmy deserve to fall; if they did not, then the' w ill not object when the needy brother is helped. Unless sonic Riich reform is made, and that right speedily, the minds of the community will pronounce the pulpit a business, and the dignity of the cloth be impaired. Let every one who objects to such a reform take notice that to prate in the future of "callings" and "fields of usefulness" Is to openlyadd hypocrisy to avarice. ST. PILLORY'S 1)A Y. Tins is .St. Pillory's day in Delaware, and with the eyes of an enlightened nation upon her, Delaware will crack her whip in the face of ci ili.ution. The whipping-post and pillory of New Castle county will be brought into opera tion again, for the purpose of driving her offen ders into Pennsylvania, and crowds of innocent school children will gaze admiringly on the spectacle afforded them by tho sufferers shrinking under the lush, of the executioner, and will gain some ideas of justice and humanity that cannot fail to produce a good effect on the future of Delaware. As if in defiance of the condemnation that lias been universally be stowed upon the miserable business outside of their own Stale, the Delawarians have decreed the erection of a new whipping-post in the jnil yard at New Castle, and have apparently deter mined that this relic of savagery shall be per petuated for all time. Such an outrage on pub lie decency, however, cannot long be maintained iu opposition to public opinion, and we believe that the day is not far distant when even Dela ware will be shamed into discarding St. Pillory's day from her calendar. A Revolution in the Coai, Tha de. There will be launched to-day ut Chester a new steam collier of great strength, capacity, and speed, which will be the second of a new line projected by the Heading liuilroad Company, and which is destined to create u complete revolution in the coal trade. It is designed to secure by tills line of steamers speed, safety, and promptness in the delivery of coal between hero and all points on the coast, and these colliers will un doubtedly supersede the old sailing vessels which have hitherto been the only means of transportation on the (toast. The importance of this new line to Philadelphia and Pennsylvania can hardly be estimated, and they can scarcely lull to create greater activity in the coal trade, to develop our mining interests, and to promote the commercial prosperity of the' city and State. Other steamers of the line will shortly be launched from the yard of Messrs. Reancy, Sou & Archbold, at Chester, as fast as possible.

The subjects of art education and art encourage ment are of so much importance at this particular juncture to the American people, that we are pleased to see some of the papers of this city entering Into the discussion of the merits and deficiencies of the Pennsylvania Acudeiny of Fine Arts, the oldest in stitution In the country professing to be a school of art. We have stated our views about the manage ment of the Academy without fear, favor, or par tiality, and we particularly wish that the subject may be discussed on all sides and in all Its bearings, if for no other purpose than to excite some degree of public Interest in the matter. Three of our contem poraries yesterday referred to the Academy, and they each suggested ideas which are worthy of com ment. The Bulletin, at the commencement of a long article of which the young sculptor Harnisch was the subject and all that was said about this tal ented artist we cordiully endorse touched the very heart of the Academy's present troubles in the fol lowing words: "The poor old Academy, go desperately worried oer its tempest nm-tea pot dittiuultien, may thank its trouble some enemieH for upplyiiix a counter-irritant. If it bad lniBure to look deeper, it might perchance feel worse. To our miud, its profoundunt wound is here: The careful in trHrtiuHH of the Acattr.my in viatic art for fur ij-nix year have not in any tray inurel to it own renoirn a ' erhoitl of fi'iurt-art; and the u-ork of it' pupiu, after dirindlim in im. jiortunee from nrason to eeOMon. are thin year hardly to be found in Hit aaHerien, landscape has the day. The litture painters are almoht unrepresented, kniuht, to be sure, has a number of cuutriliutions, hut they are old stock; still, they form a fortunate exception to what we ure saying. Ferris lias a single head ; Iteuscll has quarrelled, and dors not exhibit; Wylie is away Kamaey sends a contribution altogether I'urisian: llinii ham and laiubdiu have become inw Vorkers; lirooke sendstwo miniatures, quite unworthy of him, now hung where notiody observes tueiu ; italvan has nothing ; Roberta and Kakins are modelling at the Kcole ties Beam Arts in completing the list of the merry baud that inado the life-school of later years, memory softens her tone a moment to ask, with grief and pride Where is poor Cresson?" Mr. Knight, who represents the schools of the Academy in the present exhibition, resided tliree years In Paris for the sake of an art education, which he found it Impossible to obtain In Philadelphia. This is a signltleant fuct In support of all the argu ments we have advanced on this subject. The Xorth A meriean takes up the cudgels in defense of the Academy of 1'ine Arts, and tho Poet leans a little to both sides, apparently not exactly under standing the bearings of the case. Much of the Xorth American' argument Is entirely apart from the main issue, and in endeavoring to impress upon Its readers the fact that art Is a business, it forgets that It has an Important relation to civilization and generul culture, and that art schools are as neces sary as other Institutions of learning. Our literary men must be educated and trained for their work or they will produce nothing or anv value; the artists are in exactly tho same position, and thut each en deavors to get tho best prices their work will com muud does not affect the argument in the least The Instruction of tho public is a scarcely less Important consideration, and the W says truly : Tho Academy has no right to call itself a public m.ti Julio, if it doe. not beneht and in.truct thVpu ? "", d this can only be done by the cooperation of the artiaia In order to iimii I his cooperation, it must so act as to iiv them every advantage ottered to them elsewhere." The Xorth American, on this point, calls atlentiuu to tho fact that the Academy has no endowment fund, and that its meuus of support are the contribu tions of the members and such sums as may be realized from exhibitions, and It Indirectly refers to this paper in the following pointed manner: "If the Academy be doorivod of all other reliancs thim more cent ributions from the Iriends of art, it must become a heiivy burdon upon the artists an J the I mil led circle of friends of art who are members of the institution. We will not be so uncharitable as to say that such is tho hope ut the nerseiis who have sought to raise a public outciy , iMtuuii tU lesUtutiuu, auu ul UJ ujiict to Ijrjaii it pra, althoiifh many persons have hesnn to u.nlrlnn to that, ..fleet, and that the onposititm U not m,X ih reanlt of the personal spleen ofStTJZXu " The Insinuation contained In this paragraph Is so uncalled for, so at yartance with anything we hare said, and so entirely out of the line of legitimate ar gument, that we do not deem It worthy of notice, It would certainly be desirable If there could be a great HEn2 n T I!"" ,Cl1'' ,,Ut 11 S more" mportanec that we should have a thoroughly organ ized and efficient art school, with . gallery full of first-class works The admission feesorm an 1 n! portsnt portion of the revenue of the Academy It is perfectly proper that money for tl.c sZ'o of the institution should be raised In tw w" . and we woull not advocate dispensing with them at least until some other source of revenue ' ?, Vo vlded. That the Academy has , endowments like other educational Institutions, is simply Tea, c,t has not been mnnttged with any sort of energy nor has It displayed that kind of enterprise which is calculated to win the regards of those wlTo have money, or pictures or books whin,, under better cir cumstances, they would be willing to give to a well conducted school of art; and we heartily agree with what the Xorth American says on this point at the end of Its article: "As regnrds our Academy, we shniild i, i it endowed so liberally as tLnZ" ,' e' 'urVcVoSt n'm open itB galleries free to the public, and f th bosnl .aU choose to make an effort to that en.l wi slialT . pleasure in seconding the movement We h.ii . " at t would be far heMel- to nmUM TnZi people w,U bo forcedVognrie'ihe ZWZti more commodious hall. ;ilt s of money or work" of art to that end, we have no doubt, would be gl.div i...-5 Our contemporary, however, has some rather queer ideas on the subject of art patronage, and it suggests, as what might be done In this line, a com mission to Pothormel to paint a picture of the "Battle of Germantown;" somebody else to do a first-class drop curtain for the Academy or Music; and for a subscription to be started bv "the liberal patrons of art In Philadelphia to engage Hamilton or Moran to paint a picture of the fumous Battle of the Kegs." Something satirical is apparently con cealed in this last suggestion, but the point of the joke is so line that we are unable t see it, so we leave it to Messrs. Muran and Hainiltou to study out between them. With regard to art patronage, the less that Is said the better. Art In this country will never be worth anything so long as it has to depend upon special patronage. The duties of the Academy In this line will end when it gives our artists the proper sort of an education, when it adds Ilrst-rute specimens of the works of our best painters and sculptors to Its collection, so as to make its galleries represent the progress and position of Philadelphia art, and when It affords our artists ample facilities for putting their works before the public. The Academy does absolutely nothing In this line, and the case of young Harnisch, to which the Hntleti referred yesterday, is a fair illustration. This boy (for Harnisch is but a boy) has that rare, very rare endowment, genius. Some day he will make a mime for himself, and then the Academy of Fine Arts will be proud to claim him as one of Its pupils. At present Harnwisca has no money and very little reputation, and conse quently neither he nor his works are of any Impor tance to the gentlemen who manage the Acudemy, or to those outside of that institution who profess to be the patrons of art In Philadelphia. The "Cupid," which was literally a labor or love to this boy artist, Is an exquisitely graceful and poetical work ; but It has been waiting six years for a purchaser, with very little prospect or finding one. In the meantime the young artist has labored and patiently waited ror some recognition. His statue woull do honor to the Academy, and some day the Institution may be happy to be its possessor; but when the sculptor offered It at a price which, for the credit of the Academy, and for fear some art patrons might endeavor to obtain it at about one fifth of its value, we refrain from mentioning, he was coldly put off with the plea that the Academy could not afford the outlay, and did not purpose makii gany purchases, except such works as would be practically useful to the students. We by no means advocate the Academy buying everything that needy artists even if they happen to have genius may think lit to offer it ; but the fact tthat It buys nothing, and does almost nothing towards building up a school of art, or encouraging art in any way ; and its general effect is to deaden and depress all art enterprise in this city, so much so, indeed, that many of our artists Hud that their only chance of success Is to emigrate to other quar ters. In this connection, it Is a significant fact that Philadelphia artists who remove to New York, or those who take up their residence iu Europe, get better prices for the pictures they send to Phila delphia than they did when this was their home. Art must have the rorelgn trade-mark upon It before it can And a ready market In this city, and our artists not only go abroad, but they sell their works at bet ter prices in other places than they do here. This is due, iu a great measure, to the fact that we have no art school, worthy of the name, which will edu cate our artists and the public at the sumo time; and many of our picture buyers, including a good many of the gentlemen prominently connected with the institution, have so little regard for the Academy as a school of art that they have become profoundly impressed with the idea that only those works aro worth having that are produced elsewhere under genuine art influences. There Is a remedy for this deplorable state of affairs which has been plainly pointed out, and it now rests with the Academy of Pine Arts to tlo something tor the art reputatiou of Philadelphia, or to see the work taken out of Its hands and carried on by energetic men who under stand the real necessities of the case.
