a PLEA FOR CLERGYMEN.

'tThe laborer is worthy of his hire"
This is a divine injunction, and in the
connection then used was eminently just,
while its force remains the same after the
lapse of centuries. A poor clergyman,
whose serviceable days have passed, is
man to be pitied. Having spent the best
years of his life in exorting men to right
eousness, he is compelled to leave his pull
pit and oftentimes endure the tribulations
and discomforts of extreme poverty, while
the suffiX "superannuated" conveys vol
ume of meaning, and awakens feeling in
the breast of those approaching that period
amounting to almost positive dread. We
are sorry to believe that there are more
aged or invalid, but worthy, clergymen in
this condition than our readers generally
suppose.
Preaching the Gospel is not pecuniarily
profitable as a profession, and the expert
ence which many good men have to suffer,
after age or failing health has lessened
their ability, is an example which we fear
tends to make young men hesitate to adopt
the clerical profession, even when they
are fitted for it and desire to enter it. The
minister must live by preaching. He has
the same wants that other men have to
make his life comfortable. We might ask if
he does not require even moreT Is not his
power for usefulness extended in the same
ratio that his mind is freed from worldly
cares and anxiety concerning the present
support and future maintenance of his
family? and while his profession should
not be the road to wealth, it ought not to
lead him into poverty.
1t is no doubt a SQUIRE OF modification
to the recipients oftentimes, when the
scanty pittance collected for the use of
thesesuperannuated veterans isdoled out to
them, for their own experience tells them
how the meagre sum was gathered, the
want of alacrity, we had almost said
grudgingness, frequently displayed, and
which ever makes bitter the bread of
charity, which the givers feel it to be,
though under what construction of right
or logic It would be difficult to determine.
Life insurance is means by which the
ministry can be made attractive to young
men and comfortable 10 the aged preacher

The Mayors organ is anxious to create
issues which have no more bearing on the
present municipal contest than would the
construction of a railway to the moon.
Taxpayers understand the reason for this.
The question of where their money is ex-
pended is what interests them. Is it ex-
pended for the public convenience solely,
or does it go to enhance the value of some
particular private property.

The people of Knoxville would like to
know why a member of the real estate
ring, who is closely allied in business with
our Mayor, is so anxious to hold on "just
one more year" Does it require only one
more year to improve the property of the
ring and get it into market?

What is the meaning OF the little
word either? This question was
ably argued in the Court Of Chancery
in London, England, recently. A Ger,
tain testator left property, the disposi'
ton Of which was affected by "the
death of either" Oftwo persons, One
learned counsel contendcd that word
" either" meant both. In support Of
this view he quoted Richardson, Web
ster, Chaucer, Dryden, Southey, the
Story ofthe Crucilixion, and n passage
from Revelations. The learned Judge
suggested that there was an old sony
in the Bcsgars' Opera" known to
all, which took the opposite view
"Iow happy could | be with either;
We're totlGr dear charmer away"
In p%ronouncing judgment, the Judge
dissentcd entirely from the argument
Of the learned counsel. Either meant
one or two, and did not mean 'botD,
Though occasionally in poets, and
some other writers, the word meant
both, it did not in this case before the
court.

The indications all point to lower
prices for wheat as the season advances
The stock Of spring wheat in the
Northwest is estimated at l8 10 20,
900, 900 bushels, which will soon begin
to move toward the scabOarl In
England, with an adequate supply Of
foreign wheat assured, the market con
tinucs weak. France, instead OF being
obliged to import wheat, as generally
anticipated, is contributing to the
wants Of England and Germany is
seller TO u moderate extent, rather
than u buyer, while Russia, as usual
has al ample supply, and az soon as
navigation opens will pour its stores
into the English markets. California
and Oregon have still a considerable
surplus Of last years crop, for which
the only market is England. The evi

Shocking tragedy ut Spring Hill.

The Columbia Mail, April 9Th, has
the following account Of a very sad
business at Spring Hill:
On last Tuesday evening our com.
munity was shocked by the sal intel
ligence that Mr.. james McKissark,
who lives in the neighboriiood Of
Spring Hill, had, without p]rov"calion
murdered his father, Mr.. 0 W. Mex,
sack. From the latest dispatches re.
ceiyed, Mr.. MrKissack was still alive,
hut there were no hopes Of his recov
cry. The circumstances, as we have
learned them. were about az follows:
The son, wishing to take a trip South,
asked the father for money to delray
his expenses and the father gave him
what money he thought was necessary,
and told the son that it WAS all he lrll
To spare. The o demanded three
thousand dollars, aud made solne
threats when informed that such u de,
mand could not he granted The la
ther then asked him what he had done
with the money he had already received
and the sou replied that he had hid il
under u rail some distance up the road.
They both went together to look for
the money, where it was said to he
concealed. and when the father stopped
down to ascertain if the money was
really there, the son stabbed him three
times in the back. When the father
turned to make al effort to escape, he
received three additional stabs in the
abdomen No one wa an owe witness
to the affair except a negro. but others
arrived 10 time to arrest the son anil
prevent further attempts to murder his
father. These are about the facts in
the case, as related by the parties who
brought young McKIssack to- our coun
~ Jail last night. 1t is supposed that
young McKissack was insane, as he
had no possible p%rovocation whatever
for attempting such q bloody deed
He had previously giveL alarming evi.
dence Of insanity. an,l all entreaties Of
friends had failed to induce his parents
to send him to the ASYLUM.
