From the Episcopil Recorder
EPISCOPAL REVENUES IN ENGLAND.

From the ready currency every exaggera-
ted statement OF a Bishops income meets
with IN the newspapers, we may infer that
this subject excites considerable interest even
as far off as America; and the round assertion
being made that one receives 100000 per
annum, and another's income has been reduc-
ed to E50, ,0O0 with other similar statements
calculated to prejudice minds uniformed up
on this subject against the Church OF Eng
land, ] have been induced to seek after the
truth, in order effectually to expose calumny,
and correct error. With this hope, there
fore, the following extract is made from re-
port submitted to the British Parliament on
the 10Th of March, 1885, by the commission
ers appointed by his Majesty to inquire into,
and report upon the means Of Church Re-
form,
SIN considering the subject of Episcopal
Revenues, we have been materially assisted
by the returns made to the commissioners ap-
pointed under a commission issued by your
Majesty in 1889, and extending into the years
1888 and 1884. for inguiring, amongst other
things, into the revenues and patronage be-
longing to the Archiepiscopal and Episcopal
sees in England and Wales. The returns
generally present an average Of three years,
ending 3lst Dec. 1881. AS the greater part
of the Episcopal revenue arises from fines
upon the renewal of leases; of which some
are granted for three lives renewable when
a life drops; and others for 81 years, renewa-
BILE every seven; and in towns every years,
renewable every fourteen; it is manifest that
period of3 years is too short to exhibit
correct average Of the annual value Of the
several s4esy and that an average so taken,
will show an excess where large fines have
recently accrued, and deficit where no
fines or an unusually small amount of fines
has been received.
We insert table showing the amount Of
the revenue of each see, emitting the column
which details the probable causes Of increase
Or diminutions.l

quently ordained those to minister at her al
tars, who were without the ability which
God giveth, ! Peter, iv. 1l-and to preach
the word, while themselves were strangers to
its truth. 1t is by these intruders in the Ho-
ly Office of her ministry, that reproach has
been brought upon her and the cause of her
Master. In the approaching crisis her true
friends see nothing to fear, but every thing
to hope for; they believe that notwithstand-
ing the opposition, calumny and scorn, she
daily receives from the professed friends, as
well as the avowed enemies of Christianity,
she will lose nothing in the contest but the
shackes that corrupt man has imposed, which
have so much impeded her march to victory
over sin. She will emerge from the sea of
trouble that seems to encompass her, bright
and glorious as the truth she teaches; enducd
with strength drawn, as is her faith, from the
Rock of Ages, to GO forth hand in hand with
the redeemed of every cline to complete the
overthrow of sn-superstition and error; and
to gather the lost sheep of Israel into the Sa-
vior's fold. w. Ii. N.

"According to the foregoing table, the net

DER The expenses TO ,ohich Bishop Is ,.nauoid-
ably subject. In considering the incomes of
the Archbishops and Bishops, it is proper to
advert not only to the expenses necessarily
incurred In journeys for the purposes Of con-
hrmaton, conseeratlon, and other official du-
ties; IN maintaining ancient and extensive
houses OF residence; in keeping up hospltali-
ty, and In contributing to all objects connect
ed with religion and charity suitably to their
station: but the unavoidable expenses attend
ing their appointment are SO considerable,
that they may be calculated at the income of
one whole year in most Of the sees, and much
more than years income in the smaller
ones"
These extracts are taken from the London
Globe, Of March Goth, and if concurrent tes-
timony will serve to strengthen the point we
aim to establish, we cite Bishop Mllvaine of
Ohio, now in England, who says in the Jour-
nal of his travels: alt is worth mentioning as
an evidence Of how exceedingly the incomes
Of the English Bishops arc exaggerated, that
the Bishop of Durham, whose see is the rich
est Of all, and who is annually set down in
all newspapers at 70,000i. year, receives on
an average, as Mr.. Faber, (of Durham) has
told me, only $4,000. out Of which his neces-
sary expenses, connected with his Office, not
his taste, united with his charities, consume
l3,0O0t.; leaving 2,000t for living, where
charges make 1t worth about as much TO him
as $4,000 would be worth in Ohio. The
prebendaries are usually stated at 4,OOOi the
real average is ,40OL"
This article is not intended as an apology
for the Church Of England. Her true friends
claim for her no nfallibility-they see and
weep over her faults, which are by no means
the consequence Of her doctrines, drawn as
they are from the word of God, and contain
ing the very essence of its purity. But be-
ing governed by laws, made by corrupt man,
framed too often for his own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
rather than the glory of God, she has frc- j

"WoRTH MAKES THE MAN."-When one
man is worth a thousand dollars, and another
ten thousand, in common language we say the
latter is worth ten times as much as the for
mer. II this meant no more than simply that
one had ten times as much property as the
other, time would be spent in caviling at the
expression. But when people estimate the
worth Of man by the weight of bis purse,
the amount Of his stocks, or the number Of
his houses, without examining either the fur
niture Of his head or the qualities Of his heart,
common sense smiles at the delusion, and
hastens TO correct the error. Is the man
mere cypher all this time? Does he count
nothing Of himself2 Shall he not be rated so
high as the purse or chest that contains the
common standard Of his worth? May none of
the requirements of art, or the endowments
Of nature, have the honor Of being invento-
ried with the stock Of his farm, his merchan.
die, or his household furniture?

BEAUrY.-Let me see female possessing
the beauty of meek and modest department
of an eye that bespeaks purity and inteli-
gence within--of the lips that speak no guile
let me se, in her kind and benevolent dis
postion-a heart that can sympathize with
distress, and will never ask for the beauty
that dwells in "ruby lips" or Glowing tres
ses," or "snowy hands," or the forty other ct
ceteras, upon which our poets have harped
for so many ages. These fade, when touch
ed by the hand of Time, but those ever en-
during qualities of the heart shall outlive the
reign of Time, and grow brighter and fresher,
