Ministers salaries in some sections oftener are less than $500 than more, Old pr. A, in the town of -, prior to the war, only received $3OO, on which he had to support his family and keep horse. The war increased the cost of living so much his parishioners had sudden fit of iberality, aud voted to increase his salary to $4OO, of which he was informed by old Deacon C. one evening, who was amazed because pr. A. did not seem overioved. Next Sunday, after his sermon, old Dr. A laid aside his glasses and sur veyed the congregation with tears in his eyes. He thanked them in touch ing language for their great generosity, etc., but said he had slept on it, and had thought of it night and day, and had come finally to the conclusion to decline it, for three reasons: First, he was not worthy of any more salary :: second, they could not afford to pay any more but third, and naoi,slv. it was as much as he could possibly do to collect $300, and if he had to collect el0O more, it would be too hard work, and more than he could possibly do and preach.

He had been editor of Q French newspaper, which, being SUD- pressed, he had come to London and endeavored to get living by translat- ing manuscripts /; but, as this did not prove a lucrative employment, he left his lodgings suddenly, and had since been walking the city streets day and night. He had had, he said, no food, for days, except pieces of bread which he found on walls, fences, etc., during the day. He at times slept on the grass in the parks, but at night cit was one continued move on, move on ," from the police. We can well understand that poor Ryan's nerves must have been unstrung by this kind of life, more es- pecially as he was suffering from con- sumption-his death being accelerated by that disease, though immediately caused by " exhaustion and neglect" The jury found verdict in accordance with the facts, and Ryan has "moved on to world where no policeman's voice can disturb him.

The National Life Insurance Com pany of the United States of America, is in no respect affected by the recent suspension of the large banking house of Jay Cooke & Go. Its securities are such as are proper to conservatively conducted Life Insurance Company, all being of the most substantial de- stription. It holds, invested in mort gages and in Government bonds, 8 much larger amount than its total liabilities, and all of it's other assets are worth all that they are claimed to be. It has not, and never had, a dollar of it's funds invested or secured by the Northern Pacific Railroad bonds or stock. It did not even have depo sits with the banking house of Jay Cooke & Co.,, or any other private banking house. The policy holders and friends of the company need entertain no shadow of apprehension as to its permanent stability, and of it's future prosperity and success.-Cona.
