all. SKETCH XIV. .r..,...
THE SCRlPTURAL CHARACTERISTICS
OF A CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
VINO were the Office bearers in
the Primitive Churches, and by
whom were they chosen and ap-
pointed? 1t is very evident that
there were in the Primitive Church
es extraordinary officers; men who
were divinely inspired to deliver
the word of God to others. The
Apostles and others were qualified
by supernatural gifts to perform
miracles, signs, and wonders in the
name of Jesus Christ, and thus to
demonstrate the truth of His resur-
rection. The resurrection Of Christ
was to be proved, not by words
and arguments, so much as by
mighty deeds, signs, and wonders;
and to prove by these means, that
He rose again; and to organize
Churches in the world, was the
work to which the Apostles were
set apart by Christ Himself, (see
Matt. x. 1, 2; Acts i. 26.) The
Apostles were the eye-witnesses OF
the resurrection, and as this was
the grand point which the Jews
would deny, and which the Gen.
tiles would require to be demon
strated, Paul was chosen to prove
it to the Gentiles, and the rest Of
the Apostles to the Jews. When
therefore, the fact of the resurrec
ton of Christ was established il
the world by many signs, wonders
and mighty deeds, and the expert
ence of those who received tn
J Holy Spirit, through Him, and re
joiced daily in the hope of the glor.
Of God, through faith on His name
the apostolic work and miraculou
! gifts ceased, and from that da.
there have been no SUCCESSORS {,

LOUIS NAPOLEON AN ALCHEMIsT. The

bankers, and to the Directors Of the Bank

France could be so greatly increased within
the last three years, while the institution
aas been constantly sending gold to Eng

long since, the Bank of France drew some
fifteen million francs IN silver from the
Bank Of England. which it paid for in gold
bars with the French Mint stamp on them.
At its last report it showed balance of one
hundred and sew. ntecn million francs in

Child of the grand old Autumn!
October hoatetk by,
A regal grace OIL her sun-kissed face
And light in her beaming eye
Over her polished shoulders,
To the duh aud fading grass,
The golden brown of her hair fiows down,
As her springing footsteps pass.
She will breathe Of the dim old forest,
And stainings OF crimson light,
Like the bushes that speak
On her own bright cheek.
VIII fall on the leaves tonight
And the mellow light OF the dawning,
when the first faint sunbeams play.
Aud the flushes that rest
On the SUI uhset's breast,
She will leave on the trees to-day.
She will tap at the cottage window,
One tap with her fingers cold,
And the fire will be bright
In the hearth tonight
As it was in the nights Of old
And hearts will draw close together,
In the light OF the cherry fame,
While fond lips will bless
For their happiness
The sound OF October's name.
Then she'll touch the tree tops softly,
And carpet all fresh and sweet,
In colors as bright
As the rainLows's light.
will fail at her fairy feet
Sometimes she wooS the Summer.
BY the light Of her magic smile,
Sometimes she calls
Al the froSt-king's halls,
And bids him reign awhile.
Then when the hills are woven
With many tinted strand,
When a veil OF romance
(Like the bright clouds dance,)
Is wrapped over sea aud land
Like dream that is Wild with spIendor,
Like the sun at the close of day,
Like the visions that rest
On maiden's breast,
October will float awuyi
