STAYZAS.

STAYZ4S.
The spring time is upon US now,
All na,ure's smiles proclaim her birth
A myriad fowrets form the bow
Which promises tecming Garth.
Around the maidcns radiant brow
The hawthorn.kc snow wreath CLEANS
Lilies and roses mingling, show,
In her fair face, their purest beams.
The woodbinc strews coral shower
Along the path her footsteps press,
From violet beds and jasmine bower
Sweet odours meet in glad carcss.
Mid forest arches broad and green
A glorious diapason swells-
Sweet symphonies, from choirs unseen,
Steal from the brake where mock bird dwclls.
Now high in air, now glaueing low,
The fcathered throng, al wild with JOY,
On all alike their songs bestow-
On Lord of state or farmers boy.
Whilst magnet-like earth's hidden store
Attracts the plough-shares strength again,
Deep from the soil it turns the ore,
In sheavcs Of richest golden grain.
The skies have donned a brighter blue,
The rivulet its spray throws high,
And in its depths reflects the hue
Of natures freshest, lovclicst dye.
With sacred trust and holy fear
The day-spring from on high wen greet,
And from this bridal of the year
Bow meckly at the Giver's feet.

EpIsCopAcY. TESTED BY SCRIPTURE.

WE have been gratifed by the perusal Of q very
able and fairly written Tract upon Episcopacy,
tested by Scripture" handed lo us by the worthy
Clergyman who has charge Of this portion Of the
South Carolina Diocese. OF course it Is not onr
aim to originate anything bordering upon section
al controversy. But, at the suggestion of the
donor, we have no objection to state very briefly
our opinion upon the matter discussed in the
pamphlet under consideration
We think it capable Of proof that there were
officers of the Church, in the days of the Apostles,
to whom very different duties were assigned. But
to the absolute necessity Of ordination by an
Apostle, to render one fitted for the work Of the
ministry, we cannot fully perceive its inculcation
in the scrpural passages referring TO this subject.
We hold that no arrangement Of discipline,
made by the early preachers Of the Gospel, was
inspired, or was imposed upon their followers rs n
necessary and indispensable regulation, to prevail
throughout all ages and changes. For this would
be placing the temporal rules of the Christian
Church, as regulated by mere men, upon an equal
footing will. the moral lessons of that Church as
rypounded by the Son Of God himself.
1t occurs to u.s. that from the whole tenor Of the
Gospels it may be gathered, that the breathing Of
the Holy Spirit, upon one whom Heaven wishes TO
raise mp as its champion, can never demand, as q
prerequisite, the imposition Of hands by any par
ticular man or set of men.
But some form Of ordination is certainly rrpe-
dnni, 10 ensure respectabiity and piety to The
pulpit, as flr,as human supervision is capuble Of
achieving this end. Further than this, it horters
upon. an apparent assumption Of the prerogaiiye
Of God himself +,
