HOW AN Editor DIED.

"A San francisco correspondent furnish:
es this account Of a remarkable case of
GOODNESS and courage. The gentleman al
luded to was James Nisbet, OF the Ssn
Francisco Bulletin who was lost on the
steamship Brother Jonathan, and his BODY
was found floating in the ocean seven miles
from land. When it was taken ashore
and examined there was found in the de.
ceased's vest pocket a will, which was writ
ten after the ship struck tho fatal rock. -
Contemplating calmly the terrible scenes
about him, aud calculating his chances for
life, he had the cool courage to make such
disposition of his property as would be
most beneficial to thusc who would be l.f,
behind him. That old man writing will
amid tho bowling of ,hetempest that was
lashng the ocean into foaming pillows, and
surrounded by drowning men, women and
children wailing out their agony to the
p:tiless winds and tile raging sea, presents
a heroic picture. Here is a copy of the
will, and let :he reader observe with what
care it is written:
"Ar SEA, ON BoARn BRo. JONATHAN,
July 20, 1865.
"1n view of death, hereby appoint my
brother, Thomas Nisbct, at present engag-
ed on the Pacific railroad, near Clipper Gap
California, my sole executor, with instruc-
tons to wind up my whole estate, real and
personal, and convert tho same into casl,
with all convenient speed, but so as not to
sacrifice the same, and to pay over and
divide tho same equally between himself
and my solo sister. Margaret Nisbet, now
residing in England; and under burden O.
the payment Of legacy Of $4,000 in gold
to Al.nira Hopkins, vile OF Casper T.
Hopk MS, insurance agent, San Francisc o

asked to give security for his intromis,io.

~rhs document was written with pen
ci', the writer cody recollecting tha. penci
marks are less affected by water than ink
marks. 1t was clearly. written, in. Mr.
Aisbet's bold aud steady penmanship.-
When he had concluded the will, he found
that he had yet lit,t time left before the
SLIP would probably go down, and he ad
ded the following brief no.e TO family in
this city, where lie had boarded for many
years:
"MY DEAR Ma: A thousand affection
ate adieus. You spoke of my calling on
Friday-hangman's day-and the urlucky
Jonathan. Well, here I am. with dea,l,

man as grandpa, although he was in nc
way related to them. .

ineopvertible currency Of the United States
was necessity Of the war, but now the
currency should be brought upto specie
standard, and he saw no way of doing it
but by withdrawing a portion Of it from

The extreme high prices now prevailing
indicate that the condition Of the country

PAY YOUR MINISTERS.

l. Pay him, because it IS the ordination
of God, "lhat those who minister n. the
altar should live Of the altar" When God
sent you your pastor, He laid you under
obligation to support him. The Head Of
the Church is too just to call a man from
secular labor Tor his service, without giving
precept for lis sastenance.
2. Pay your minister because you owe
hin, and the precept is, s'owe no man.
Having had the time and service of your
minister, you can no more deprive him Of
his wages without sin, than you could "the
reaper Of your fields" Tho money you
subscribe is not charity, but debt.
3. Pay your minister, that he may be
worth paying. How can he give instruc l.
tion, if poverty dive him out Of his study
to dabble in worldly business. How can
he buy books and periodicals without
means? How can he think and reason
closely, if you allow his mind to be tortured
with fears Of debts and insolvency, and
keep him running from neighbor to neigh,
Dor borrowing money! How can he 90
before the Church as pioneer in Godli.
ness if yop compel him to DO continually
struggling with pecuniary embarrass-
ments2
e. Pay your ministes so that he can pay
his debts. The world expects ministers 10
pay their debts punctualy. Not to do
this is 10 bring reproach upon religion
Can the minister be punctual, if his people
withhold the means? The shoemaker tai
Ior, merchant Sc, want their money, aud
will you compel your minister to defraud
them?
S. Fay your minister, Il you would keep
! him. or ever get another As good. 1t is a
bad thing for church TO get The nu,ne ol
Starving their ministers We know
some Churches who do this! The curse
.ot Gud seems to tc upon them worse and
wo.se. They will soon become like th e
mountains Of Gibeon, witlou, dew or
rain ;"
g. Pay your minister, because you r:o-
missed to pay him. Not to do this is to
! forfeit your word. 1t is debt Of Lpnor
as well as of law. Your pastor has trusted
10 Your word, ,hlown himself aud fnmily
into sour keeping. Will you prove un-
worthy Of this confidence?
Z. Pay your minister, because you are
able to pay him. How small is the pit
tan"e which falls to your share With n
little extra labor OF unusual! economy, how
easily could you pay yonr pastor prompt,
~ win you think of these things2

america:
4 PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God,
during the year which is now coming to an
end, to relieve our beloved country from
the fearful scourge Of civil war, and to
permit us to secure the blessings of peace,
unity, and harmony with great enlarge
ment Of civil liberty; and, whereas, our
Heavenly Father has also during tho year
graciously averled from us the ealamities
OF foreign war, pestilence and famine, while
our granaries are full of the fruits of aa
abundant season; and Whereas, righteous
ness exalteth nation, while sin is re.
proach to any people:
Now, therefore, bo it known, that /, An.
drew johnson, President Of the United
States, do hereby recommend to the people
thereof, that they do set apart and. observe
the first Thursday Of December, next a. a
day o. national thanks-given to the Gre.
ator Of the Universe for these deliverances
and blessings. And do further recon.
mend, that on tln.t occasion the whole pco.
pie make confession Of our national sins
against His infinite goodness, and With one
heart and one mind imp1ore the Diving
guidance in the ways of national. virtue
| and holiness.
In testimony whereof have hsreunto
set my hand, and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city Of Washington, this
twcnty-eighth day Of October, iq
the year of our Lord one thousand
H.. 81 eight hundred and eixty-6ve, and
OF the independence of the United
States OF America the ninetieth.

PuRlTy OF CHARACTER. - Over the
beauty OF the plum e. apricot there
grows bloom and beauty more exquisite
than the fruit itself; soft, delicate flush
that overspreads its blushing cheek
Now, if you strike your hand over that, it
Is gone forever, for it. never grows but
once. The flower that hangs in the morn.
ing, impearled with dew, arrayed as no
queen!y woman ever was arrayed in jewels,
once shake It till the heads roll off, aud you
may sprinkle water over it as you please,
yet it can never be made again What it was
wl'ez the dew fell upon it silently from
heave.t Ona frosty morning you may
SEQ the panes Of glass covered with land.
scapes, mountains, lakes, and trees, blend
ing in a beautiful, fantastic picture. Now
lay your hand upon the glass, and by tho
scratch Of your finger, or by the warmth
of your palm, all the delicate tracery will
will be obliteratcd. So there is in youth
beauty and purity of character, WHICH
when once touched and de6led can never
be restoreds a fringe more delicate than
frost work, and which, when torn and
broken, will never be re embroiderel.-
When a young man leaves his fathers
house with the blessing of his mothers
tears wet upon his forehead, if he once
losses the purity of character, it is a loss
that he can never make whole again.
Such is the consequence of crime, Its
effects can never be eradicated, it can only
be forgiven.
