(From the FAturday Review:l • ' worn rA sox 1 11E OLD 111 0 IFIELO6II9. , - In the modern rage for historical gossip, the.pas‘ion for intruding into old-world secrets andrealising obsolete manners, it is ,semark sablehow little we can get to knOw of the sociallife of the clergy of but a, hundred or a hundred and fifty years ago. The most curious andsletermined investigation alwavacomes to a stop here. We hear a great deal about the politicians, the wits, the squires, the courtiers, the,actors, the beaux and belles, the'footineis , the waiting-women of the last century, bid the social' life of the-clergy is, still' all but a terra incognita. It has no hisiorian, no diarist, no chronicler; and—perhaps what more than all . accounts for the blanks-it has no fiction de voted .tts its delineation ; none, that is, id corn ! . parison with the enormous mass of literature dedicated to the portrayal of clerical life and character in our own time. Mrs Trollope alone, the self-constituted bard and laureate of the clergy, presents more pictures of clerical char acter than the whole fiction of the world .up - the beginning of the nineteenth cen- ' Vary. sAccustomed as people now are to get their ideas of the class, beyond their own limited experience, from the novelist, they naturally turn to the pages of fiction for information as to a past period. There is not indeed an absolute blank. But the iuvariable re ference, hy. every inqulrer,to Parson Adams and parson Trulllber shows how circumscribed , is the field. :Richardson, to be sure, has his par sons, but he•throws none of his invention awl an undue share of his prose into them. They are mere conventionalities, and tell us nothing, being simply reflections of the virtues or the villainies of their patrons and employers. Dr. Bartlett, Sir Charles Grandison's " monitor in youth," lives in his patron's house, conducts family worshipssings his praises with tears in his eyes, and provides him an amanuensis in the person of his nephew. The ruffian abductor Sir ,Ilargrave has his snuffy,,priest ready to mumble the marriage service over the terrified and faint ing Harriet Byron, had not the opening words of the service given her frantic strength enough to 41asl the book out ef his hands with the well; known cry, "No 'dearly beldveds." Clarissa has her venerable pastor, Dr. Lewin, a worthy divide; her cruel ,relations have their syco phantic, pedantic,,, time-serving tool, Mr. Brand; but not one of them, has made himself a name. Goldsmith's Dr. Primrose we feel to be himself; we can scarcely accept any part of his delightful book as a picture of, manners; it is the one novel front whichwe do not require this sort of truth. Even the plays of .the time that come down to Us tell us nothing. Parson Adams resents the scraps of wit against the clergy. quoted from plays of his day, ELM wonuera Asurcruluzamm. , . otTinter--7- fere ; but few of theSe survive. The real wits, little respect as they showed for morals, as a rule let ° religion and the parson alone, pro bably because the parson occupied no place in the mind of the fashionable world. The clergy, as a body, were not interesting to the readers and critics of the period. Wherever there are good livings there will be men of family and social consideration; but the wits wrote for London and of London, and knew uncommonly little about the more dignified components of country society. Their stock idea of the parson seems to have belonged to the curate order of the professiou,the chaplain, and perhaps the, Ordinary of Newgate. To the mass ef the people, ou the other hand, especially the rustic population, the clergy then represented religion and learning, at a time when learning was reverenced more than it has been since, and Latin wag a mystery, an innocent, nay salutary, branch of the black art. A great deal was taken for granted and ex cused in a man whO was an adept. Our readers will remember Addison's story to the point; but his characteristic humor expresses itself in so terse .a form that we may indulge them by quoting it entire "I have beard of a couple of preachers in a country town who endeavored which should outshine one another, and draw together the largest congregation. One of them being well versed in the Fathers, used to quote every now and then a Latin sentence to his illiterate bearers, who, it seems, found themselves so edified by it, that they flocked in greater nutn bersto this learned man than to his rival. The other, finding his congregation mouldering every Sunday, and, hearing at length what was the ()erasion of it, resolved to give his parish a little Latin in his turn, but, being unacquainted with any of the Fathers,' be digested into his sermon the whole book of Oats. Genus, adding, however, such explications to it as he thought might fie.for the. benefit a his people., lie afterwards entered upon As in priesenti,Miich be converted in the same manner to the use or his parishioners. This, in a very little time, thickened his audience, filled his church and routed his antagonist." And, •even where there was not a pretence of learning, the parson, who was good company, found tolerant judges, their reverence not ex acting consistency. The Gorooisseur tells us of the sporting parson arriving, full gallop, at the church doors, where all the con gregation awaited him, giving his "brown scratch bob " a shake, clapping on his surplice, and giving entire sails- faction to both parish and squire, both in desk and pulpit, the squire inviting him to dinner, where jovial toasts were only interrupted by the bell for the second service. The literary. interests of remote districts were mainly sus tained, however, by the clergy, and we'read of a little centre ofintellectual activity—a club of parsons who assembled every Saturday at the nearest market town to be shaved, to exchange sermons, and to discuSs the monthly reviews. Authors of the eighteenth century wrote, however, at a time when rustles and rural pur suitS were the ridicule of fine people'; when Millamant nauseated walking as a country diversion; and "loathed the country and every thing belonging to it," and the parson certainly not less than his .surroundings. They wrote, too, in an age of fine clothes, when language separated the cleric nein the laity by this one distinction. When a parson is under discus sion. we are never allowed to forget his clothes. Thus the history of Parson Adams's cassock accompanies his own. It had got a rent in climbing over a stile ten years before the story begins, and by the end of it scarcely a Mg remains. That word cloth accounts for a great deal of oblivion in the great world. At a time when gentlemen glittered in scarlet and gold lace,the Inevitable gown and cassock stood at a disad irantage ;and when swords were not only - worn but drawn, the compulsory submission to snub and insult which the cloth exacted was a still greater disqualifier. When wit and re partee were everything in conversation, it needed a double allowance of wit to shine in pudding-sleeves. That it ,did shine we know, but the gown was, an incubus to the clergy man in gay society, and a constant butt for the dull joker. His cloth was a continual consciousness to Swift; that he made capital of it—" the old wig" of clerical cut and " rusty gown "—does not the less prove 'that the conscionsness was an irksome one: Being once present at a discussion on the personal appearance of Julius Caesar, "For my part," said Ambrose Philips, a vain man and neat dresser, "I should take him to have been. of a lean snake, pale c o mple x i on , ex tremely neat in his dress, and five feet seven inches high"—an exact deseription of, Philips himself. "And I, Mr. ;Philips," sai Swift, "should take, Win to have been a plump man ' just five feet live inches high, , not very neatly dressed in a black gown With pudding-sleeves." The iiinrenraey he assigns to the captain's wit over the parson's.we know—, Dear in:idiot]; be sure be'ti a tine-spit:en man, Po but ii on the clergy how glib lib] tongue ran, ; • .u.. ..,.::< THE. DAILY EVENING BULLETIN PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MARCH 18,1870. And this ,captain "all daub'd with sold lade" falls foul at once of the shabby cassock and runipled band Whenever you see a cassock and gown, A hundred to one that it covers a elown. Observe how a parson comes into a room, No satirist of that date ever supposes Wit' a woman can 'tawnier thoughts. on a parson till her fort y-lifth year. He Is the pis-alley of the old maid of genteel life. Even the devotee who dieturbs good company by hei scruples is not led to them by the parson. He has bad no influence over her. The gospel gossips of the Spretutoi are ,Dissenters, and the Lay Prue who goes to hear Whitedeld ace opts his teach ink, but expects the half hour of his sermon to. condone her four hours' flirtation with the colonel. Not that this argument goes.very far. Swift, in his pudding-sleeves broke some female hearts. The captain's red coat only.giimi him five minutes' start in the favor of fair eyes, but a start Which the parson of that day Could not overtake: As it was, an authoress somo what later on La the century shows an excep tional tenderness for the cloth. Miss Fielding, in her Ophelia, makes au IntereSting young parson a pretender to the hand of her heroine —a great promotion as times then went. Of course he is refused in favor of the libertine hero, and of course her aunt bad taken his timid advances as intended for herself, and is furious accordingly at the denouement; but Mr. South is intended to be interesting, and not ridiculous, in the readei's eyes, which is a testimony to the inherent feminine sympathy with the clerical profession. As for Fielding's (her brother's) standing representatives - orthe elaSS;we 'may allow the ladies some excuse for holding aloof frotu the curates if they in the remotest degree re sembled these types. Trulliber is voted an exaggeration, yet it is impossible not to suspect much literal truth in that scene where he en tertains his brother parson Adams, and snatches the cup of ale from his hands, reproving Mrs. Trulliber, who stands behind his chair (her place at meal times) for helping their guest when he had called first. "No, sir, no, I should not have been so rude to have taken it from you, if yoU had caal'd ourst . ; but I'd have you know I'm a better man than to suffer the best lie in the kingdom to drink before me in my own bodge, when I caal'd vurst.'? Nor is Parson Adams, though.a better man, a more desiswlals _, inmate of a lady's drawing-room. It is scarcely to be. wondered at that he can get no neare - access to the great lady than Mrs. Silipslop, her waiting-maid, who is her self a curate's daughter. He . fits much better the kitchen, where he so often refreshes himself with Sir Thomas's ale after his four • services. Scholarship and criticism are good icings,but-a-woman must be -excused-crom caring for them when they can only be heard through the fumes of endless pipes of tobacco. It may be that the novelist's old plain of lead ing the hero through a series of adventures confines him to such company as at least is in troduced at the alehouse, for certainly the his torical parson seems most at • home there. " The parson," says one man, "took me for a Presbyterian because I would not drink with him:" And how Adams'S salary of £23 a year could supply him iu beer alone is a problem nowhere explained. ' The novelist and essayist of that day. alike amused then:wives avith- the rustic fondness for Berm - rips. It was the fashionable world, then as now, that took the satirical view. Sir Roger, when he restricted his past:or to aqhoiee froM a libraiy of standard divines of his own selection, no doubt pleased himself at the ex pense of the parish. Parson Adams has a faith in his own sermons which implies, however, adMiring parishioners; the joke in relished of his pulling them out to read to the most incon gruous audience, his resolving never to be with out his sermon on Vanity in his pocket, and his oiler of his MS. volume in pledge for an unpaid score. Printing sermons is indeed a time-honoredjoke. In one of Smollet's pre faces—after the model with which Walter Scott has made us familiar—the Reverend Mr. Jonathan Dustwich, who is coining up to town with a sermon to print, hears in reply from his publisher, ' You need not take the trouble to bring up your sermons on my account, nobody reads sermons 'but Methodists and Dissentere; going on ftn i her to explain that he himself was a stranger to that sort of reading, and that the man whose judgment he depended on in such . matters had gone abroad as carpenter in a man- ; of-war. This change, then, has come over the novel. The parson of old, to be worth drawing at all, must be either a disgrace to his cloth or an oddity=qiitlrel; disreputable, or a pedant, or an amiable eccentric and butt, or simply conven tional of the white-haired type, a piece of fur niture uttering platitudes which the reader never dreams of .reading, but who must be there for the credit ot'hero Or heroine. Any way he could only be subordinate. That he should take the lead and represent light and prowess, that he should b well-mannered, handsome - and interesting,is an idea of another century which deserves further consideration. ART ITEMS American. —The Tribune's Washington correspondent, G. G., asks " Why cannot we have in the now vacant panels of the House of Representa tives landscapes and marines by Church and Bierstadt, and by our Philadelphia painters, Rothe' mel and Hamilton? The pictures of Mr. Hamilton are almost peculiarly the lucu iies rich Philadelphians; they are not known as they should be known elsewhere—certainly not-in Washington. Nature lett out of - him; as she leaves out of most poetic artists, the pushing, lobbying, bargaining element. A few of his pictures have been purchased by connoisseurs of New "York and Boston, and a few have gone to London, where they are greatly admired, his water-colors espe cially. Mr. Dickens took home one of his marine views—' What are" the Wild Waves Saying "—which, I hear, now hangs in a place of honor in the charming library of Gad's-Hill-Place. There is one pic ture by Mr. Hamilton which would show grandly inthe'CiiPitil It is a large sea view by moonlight—a vivid and tremendous scene, representing the capture of the Serapis by the Bon-Menthe Richard, commanded by that in domitable . sealion, that half mythical hero, Paul Jones. The French ship, - dismantled, riddled, and burning, is belching out lire and smoke; crimsoning the crests of the waves and the white moonlight, and paint ing the clouds with a fearful glare. The flames seem to me to be of a peculiar ghastly red, as though colored by the blood they have licked up from .the.steaming deck. The pic ture has an absolute historic value, and ought to belong to the nation." . —The same correspondent, a lady, we believe, thus refers to an unworthy scheme nursed by a quite incompetent artist :—‘, Yon may have seen that the Modest little sum of $130,000 is asked of Congress to enable Mr. Fisk Mills to make a marble group for the pediment of the southern wing of the Capitol. Mr. Mills is the son of Clark Mills, Esq., best known to fame through his Jackson, or rather through his rearing and 'cavorting' war-horse, fur the old hero himself is quite a secondary personage. 'Sculping' doubtless runs in the Mills family. and the young man has also inherited some of his father's industry and enterprise." I have not seen .tho.grottp it is proposed to' set upon this coign cif Van• tape,' to Challenge the criticism of the world. Some of out local reporters say it is highly. poetical, allegorical, moral in character : and I suppose we ought to'be satisfied; but, on the lace of it, there is something absurd in the proposal to intrust, a work of such difficulty and importance to a young man of so little ex Milll= Terience in art and so little reputation as an •attist. Mr. kills may yet be able to . plan and execute as great works as the one needed for thls position, but I cannot believe ..he is now competent. Then ibe house he springs , from has bad its shave of patronage. Mr. Mills - pare has received muclfsnstenance 'from (40 7 ernment—wollishly savage and Inhospitable to great artists, she adopted anttfostered bitn— and later, has been almost 'equally kind to Mr.. Stone. They are her . Romulus and Remits, and it issfult time they were weaned. It is time that some national commissions were given to our best artists. will net'nsk the contractor this 4 , big job' for Aliss Homer or Miss Steb bins, as Congress is not up to, the .justice, of pa.) thg ,eqUal wages forkexcept, qual work, in deed, when the woman be exceptionably young and pretty." IF'eateign. —When that little marvel, the portrait' of a condottiere by Antonello da Messina, which is now in the salon carri of the Louvre, was put up at the Pourtales sale, the combatants were France and England. People were not much astonished when offer after oiler was made, and 7,000 guineas were proflered for a panel not more than 12 inches in its largest measure ment, and representing a man's bead and shoulders. The interest grew painful even to picture-buyers when the limit of the wildest ideas was passed, and France got the work at a prodigious price. Englishmen grumbled, and still grumble, that their country hesitated to give 10,000 guineas for the Antonello. It is now understood that France would not have yielded at less than that stun. : Such was the case in this great struggle—the most momen tous of recent picture-buyint , feats. —At the second sale of the San Donato Col lection, in Paris, on the 20th February, so enormous a sum as 5,000 guineas was bid by the Marquis of Hertford, for "Broken Eggs," by Greuze, which is known ')yr Moitte's engraving, and measures 'l3 centimetres in height by 94 centimetres.in length. This fact passed all expectations. In this picture a young woman is seated on the floor in a cottage,with her hands locked, ,finger in finger near is her Panier of broken eggs. A lad endeavors with indifferent success to assuage the wrath of an old woman who 'complained bitterly of the mishap. The compOsition is unusually com plete and elaborate for Greuze, and the whole may be described as one of his best, if not his best work.' --Another-picture, at•the same sale, demon strated the modern rage for Greuze. " The Damsel with the Dog," which sold for 3,5'i0 guineas, is an oval, ewing the head and one shoulder of a young woman who caresses a lit tle querulous lap-dog, only the face of which _i_s_seen_fir o m tjae,,dzi.perie_s_w_hich_ envplape_he aims. Her face is charming, and exquisitely characteristic of Greuze.—"Le Matin,' 2 sold at the • same time, is like wise characteristic; • it shows the head and shoulder of a young woman who sits in a chair and looks at us, the face three-quarters to our left,with a very open and innocent eXpression--. at least, as we should rather say, she looks in nocent in the Greuzean sense of, the term.—At the same sale was disposed of "The First Cradle" (Eve. with her children), by Debay, well known from the plaster casts, and Pra dier's group, "Satyr and Bacchante," sold to the Marquis of Hertford. the sales of the same gallery for March 3d and 4th—where it is sad not to hear of Americans Competing, for the projected mu-; seunis of Boston, New York and Philadel phia—were included pictureS by - Titian, Ve ronese, Dominichino, Dolci, Del Sarto, Bron zing:), Murillo and .hemline, with a large repre sentation of Greuze and Boucher. The fever had abated, and the ancient pictures were dis posed of for moderate prices. 'For instance, "Virgin and Child," by Andrea del Sarto, brought 5,000 francs ; " Adam and Eve," Tin toretto, 6,000 francs; "Herodias," - Carlo Dolci, 6,100 francs ; "Portrait of • Francesco Deign Albizzi, " Sebastian.del Piombo, 6,800 francs; "The Supper at Emmaus," Titian, 12,500 francs; "The Duke d'Urbino and his Son," do., 17,500 francs ; " Portrait of the lovely N'inr," Paul Veronese, 30,200 francs; "Venetian Supper," Giorgione, 55,000 francs. -'-The same difficulty which, on a small scale, perplexes the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts,—the amount of power Proper to he accorded to the artists—receives an at . tempted solution this spring, under the admin istration of the new Minister of Fine Arts, M. Richard. The regulations for the coming-Salon have-been issued in accordance with-the minis .terial, notification; the whole of-the jurors, in stead of two-thirds of the:-ninber, as previ ously, are to be elected, bythe exhibiting artists, and there is little doubt that the result will be Much the same as before. The other novelty is more doubtful as regards its probable effects: the sane jurors are to have the hanging of the picttires, which was previously performed by - the Comte de Nieuwerkerke and his staff. The question is, will a jury of artists be as impar tial as the officials? —The last picture of Kaulbach has attained a rapid celebrity, not only 'from - Its intrinsic merits; but from 'the intrigues by Which the clericals succeeded in stopping its exhibitions at-llunich. It treats the Inquisition in one of its brightest or darkest periods of its history. Arbues, the most unmerciful of judges, with two monks, and various other clergymen and officials, represent the Holy Office. Arbues has just issued from the portals of the gloomy building, and pauses under the statue of the Mater Dolorosa to promunce judg ment oti a family of ,heretics who kneel before him. The rage -imprinted-- on his features would alone suffice to show the sup .plicants had little to expect from his mercy, even if lie did not point with his crutch to the fire which smoulders in -the back-ground, and -covers the whole scene with smoke. He leans on two monks, one of whom has li highly sen sual expression of countenance, while the flute of the other is marked by' loomy fanaticism. A third monk is employed in gathering to gether the confiscated property of the heretics, and a long procesSion bearing the form of the crucified I*viour accompany condemned prison ers to the stake. The- groups,,of inquisitors are said to he excellently conceived and exe cuted, while !hose of the prisoners are greatly inferior to them in spirit and feelimf. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. It is now definitely announced by the Ger man papers that "Janus" is not the work of Dr. Dellinger, but of Prof. Huber, who has beer, long known in Munich as a strong oppo nent of Papal claims. • The ages of the three celebrated botanists who died last year are remarkable. Prof. Ber tolini, the Sedgwick of Bologna, was ninety three-; Prof. Morrbi, of rum, was seventy thre6, and 'Prof. Purkinjo, of Plague, was eighty-two. The herbarium of Von Martins, the Bavarian - botanist, containing considerably over 30,000 specimens, is waiting for seine uni versity to buy .it. His library is to be sold by auction this month. 111. Lenormand has shown from a study of the sculptures that in Egypt, during the time of the Shepherd-Kinga, thick distinct species.of gazelle were domesticated. Prof. Ilaughton, of Dublin, if calculated that supposing the human heart were to ex pend its entire force in id its Own weight ling vertically, it would raise itself 19,754 feet In one hour.
