St. Jerome asserts that " all bishops are equal ;" he
must be here amended. Such, and others of subtraction
and addition, are the directions secretly and authorita-
tively given by the Roman Church to the venders and
publishers of books. Nor let any be deluded by the idea
that there is no Index Expurgatarius now. These are
doings, not of a time, but of a continuation, as an inhe-
rent necessity of the Roman Church ; which must, to
keep its position, thus treat authority, whether of the
Primitive Church, or of the Scriptures themselves. lhe
above passages are taken by Dr. Wordsworth from the
Index Expurgatorius. But this ever-variable Infallibility,
which discovered purgatory at the time of the discovery
of America, as if practically, by cruel inflictons, to show
what its torments might be ; this boasted one, yet ever-
variable Infallibility, has, under Pope Pio Nino, now at
length developed a new doctrine—not new, indeed, in in-
vention, for it was mooted at the Council of Trent, and
set aside as uncertain by that " certain" council, but new
as an established authoritative dogma—the " immaculate
conception of the Virgin Mary." It is no longer true, in
the Roman Catholic belief, that there was but " one
sinless." There is now a new exception ; it is now no
longer a truth that, Christ excepted, " the Scripture hath
concluded all under sin." The Virgin Mary was, as the
infallible present Pope decrees, born without sin ; she was
miraculously, immaculately conceived ; and hence, what
follows?' Awful to contemplate is this most recently re-
ceived dogma. She has an altar to her by the side of that
to God the Father. The Roman Catholic Church is no
longer Trinitarian—it is Quaternian ;it sets up a Quater-
nitv for that glorious Trinity, " three persons and one
God." And where is all this development to end ?
Doubtless, it is in the wisdom above man's, that, like the
serpent that was devoured by his own brood, it should be
ultimately destroyed by its own inventions; for it makes
" the Scripture of none effect" by its traditions and de-
velopments.—Blackwood's Magazine, 1851.

THE CHANGELING

" I bad a little daughter,
And she was given to me
To lead me gently onward
To the Heavenly Father's knee.

I know not how others saw her,
But to me she was wholly fair,
And the light of the heaven she came from
Still lingered and gleamed in her hair.

She bad been with us scarce a twelvemonth,
And it hardly seemed a day,
When a troop of wandering angels
Stole my little daughter away.

But they left in her stead a changeling,
A little angel child,
That seems like her bud in full blossom,
And smiles as she never smiled.

This child is not mine as the first was,
I cannot sing it to rest,
I cannot lift it up fatherly,
And bless it upon my breast.

Yet it lies in my little one's cradle,
And sits in my little one's chair,
And the light of the heaven she's gone to
Transfigures its golden hair."
The Ameriean Poet, Mr. Holmes.
