PROFLIGATE BEECHEs.
Nearly or quite Million Dollars
Earned and Squandered.

New YORK Heraldl
With the possible exception of the late
Daniel webster, to whom money was as
dross, and debt chronic fact, it may be
doubted If any American ever made money
so rapidly or spent II as easily as Henry
Ward Beecher. In round figures he has
handled, outside of the funds of his church,
not less than q round million OF dollars and
yet if he were unfortunate enough to die to-
day, il would be doubtful if his estate, after
his debts were paid, would net $4,000 in
cash. His salary. when he became pastor of
Plymouth church, was at first Sl,20O,
although it was soon thereafter
raised to $1,000. As the church
and society grew and prospered,
the first effort made was to pay off the church
debt. Then the pastor was remembered,
and it was not lorg before he received the
then handsome salary of $1,000 In fact, it
would be fair average to say that Mr..
Beecher's compensation during his first
Brooklyn decade was 5000 per annum.
which sum includes what he may have re-
ceiyed at meetings or as presents. By this
time he was quite popular as lecturer be-
fore lyceums mercantile associations, and
general societies. A low estimate of Mr..
Beecher's lecture receipts in the first ten
years of his Brooklyn life is 81 600 year.
Putting his pulpit income at 50 900 year
and his lecture receipts at s.. 900, 1T is clear
that he made not less than $1,000 year, or
$40, 900 in the decade, from these two
sources. But the second term of ten years
developed the young mans money
making faculty still more surprisingly.

THE MAGIC WHISTLE.
An Old Story of Its wonderfuI InHu-

Detroit Fee Pressl

iDetfOlI Free HreSSl

en- who stood beside HIM as he sat on corn
sheaf one evening about quitting time; s'you
have heard, dare say, of the Danish boys
whistle of wood? l would give two dollars
and half if that Danish boys whistle were
mine"
The maiden had heard of the wonderful
things which could be accomplished by
means of the magic whistle, and, coloring
slightly, said:
And what would you do with 1t, pray?n
while smile played over her beautiful face,
extending clear round to her ears.
Il would blow it." he answered, sand
then my fair maid would fly to my side and
SIT down on the same corn-sheaf with me,
which would make me extremely happy
and make 1t a matter of supreme indiffer-
ence to me whether school Kept or not, or
how much corn might be bushel-"
rs that all you wish it for?" exclaimed
the maid with a laugh that started a covey
OF birds in the next row. THAT may be
yours without any magic, Charlie. A favor
so slight one could not find IL in ones heart
to deny, you know" and she playfully seat
ed herself by his side and drummed with her
little heels in the furrow.
Il would blow again." said the youth,
who bad begun to see how matters were
drifting II would blow the thing again,
and the one fair women beneath the sun
could not resist the charm and would lay her
fair arm upon my shoulder"
She smiled-and laid her arm around his
neck.
The young man was taken completely by
surprise, but managed to bear up under it,
although, as he confessed TO the writer. it
was by all odds the greatest effert of his
life.
A young man OF his age is never satisfied,
but is always reaching out and grasping
after the unattainable, as it were, and after
drinking in for a moment the nectar of the
situation, so to speak, exclaimed:
Yet once more would / blow it. This
| time would give 1T the awfulest blast that
was ever heard this side of the CRACK of doom,
and the divine music would bring me the
third time an unspeakable pleasuee. She
would lay her fair cheek to this brown one
of mine, and her lips stealing past mine
would give me a kiss, Pm quite sure; at least
I hope So"
The maiden laughed out in her inno-
! cent glee, just any other young lady
would do under the same circumstances. and
said:
What fool of yourself with your whistle
you'd make, to be sure, Now. just consider
for moment how silly it would be to sit or

your cheeks whistling for-what you might

1t was argued that as Mr. Beecher's
preaching put in the Plymouth treasury
from $4,000 to $50, 900 year, it was but fair
that he should have at least $4,000 year as
salary. His friends said he could easily make
three or four times that sum by lecturing,
and the society unanimously voted him $780,
600 year. That sum he has averaged in the
past ten years. A few seasons back he re-
quested the society to reduce his salary to
S15, 900 a year, but Tom Sherman made
point in his behalf by voting that donation
OF $4,000 should be accepted from the pas
tor, but that his salary should remain at
$4,000, and it does. Mr.. Beechers lectur-
ing popularity took a sudden rise,
and under skillful manipulation his
income has averaged not less than $l5, 900.
Some years ago it was not quite that figure.
but in others he exceeded it by very large
amount. A series of revivals and several
misfortunes conspired to keep Mr.. Beecher
IN Brooklyn, where his salary was gradually
increased, and averaged during the second
decade the cheerful sum of $4,000 per an
mum. An enterprising Boston firm have
monopolized Mr.. Beecher In the last two
years, and they farmed him out in the lee
ture field to immense profits. From this
brief and cursory review of great mans
pecunlary progress, ii will be seen that he is
one of a million as maker, ii not saver,
of the one thing needful. Tabulated the
estimate is as follows:

What special resources OF income other
than those known 10 the general public Mr..
Beecher may have, we do not know. There
are always tidbits for the favored clergyman,
and Mr.. Beecher is not likely to be an excep-
ton. One of bis earliest receipts was paid
up policy for $4,000 in the Equitable Life
Insurance Company, and it is fair sssump-
ton that in many ways he has appreciated
the generosity of an affectionate flock, SO
that in round numbers he may be credited
with having made and received not less than
81 600, 900 since he put his foot in Brooklyn,
so odd years ago.
