THE SANCTTFTTNG POWER OF CHRIS

TIAN ASSURANCE.
We become partaBers of the Gospel through
faith. "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and
thou shalt be saved" Jesus says, 81 am thy SAL
Vation; exclaming on the cross, at is finished :"
Let us ask ourselves, What are the properties
OF this grace? And what the extent of that SAL
vation that becomes ours upon the exercise of
faiths Faith is trust, the more chd-like the
more spiritual. How simply does the little one
trust the provision made for his daily recurring
wants by loving father 1t never occurs to
him that the supply may tail, or the love that
makes it his grow cold: he is simply receiver
and grateful obedience and love are all the re-
turn he can render to his parents.
So Christian faith takes the rich provision
of our Heavenly Fathers love, Christ. The
fountain of supply, being the Divine nature is
exhaustless.
The child like, flial communion between the
saved sinner and the Holy Ghost is the pur-
chase of the blood of Christ which, cleansing
from all sin, takes away every barrier to this
! sweet intercourse. Day by day he feeds upon
the mamma fresh from heaven, thus renewing
his strength, and peace, and JOY in believing
Believer, let not your subtle adversary tempt
you to look within your own heart for assur-
ance of your interest in the great salvation.
Even the graces of the Spirit you may discern
here will be so marred by indwelling sim that
doubt and fear will be the result of all such in
rospection. Obey the Holy Spirit; follow his
light and guidance. He will reveal Jesus within
you. He will take of the things of Christ, and
show them unto you. "Beholding as in glass the
glory of God in Christ Jesus, you will be changed
unto the same image from glory to glory as by
the Spirit of God" He will enable you to be-
lieve your spiritual inheritance limited only by
your Sayiours possessions. Your faith incorpo-
rating you into His mystical body, you are one
with Him.
BY this vital union only can you be strength
ened to bring forth the fruits of holiness to the
praise and glory of God, your anchor not being
cast within the leaky vessel but in the cleft rock
you will be S0red nolC and foreUer

The Dickens sale.

It seems very strange that the family OF an
eminent man who, dying, left large fortune to
public sale of the articles especially associated
with his memory. Yet this is the case in the
family of Charles Dickens. Scarcely is the
body of the great novelist cold in the vault in
and other works of art is announced to take
place at the rooms of leading London auction
eer Many of the articles to be sold are pre-
sents to the deceased, or portraits of himself, or
Illustrations of his works painted by the best
artists For instance, there is the celebrated
portrait by Maclise representing Mr.. Dickens
as he appeared in the flush of early manhood in
the year 1882 In the list of miscellaneous
paintings there are works by Webster FIRTH
Clarkson, Stanfeld Wilkie, and other artists of
celebrity. Among the articles of certt are
bronzes, porcelains, and other elegant trihes.
All these are to be sold on Saturday of this

THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs.
Trouble In the Order-Attempt to RnfOrce the

Charters.
Since the first of June the Grand Chancellor
of the Knights of Pythias of the district. Mr.
+. G. Calvert, has, in compliance with the man
date of the Supreme Lodge, been visiting the
several lodges of the district for the purpose of
administering an additional oath or obligation,
known as the o. B. N; that they are not nor
will become, members of no- fraternize with
members of the 8. P. X. The action of the
Supreme Lodge and Chancellor has created
considerable feeling in the order here, and i'm
some of the lodges the membership to a man
have refused to take the so-caled o. b. ", the
principal objection being that it is an extra
obligation. which, it is contended the Supreme
Lodge has no power to impose, as the entire
ritual OF the order teaches that when the
Knights degree is reached the party has
taken the highest degree of the order. In some
of the lodges, when the lodges as such deter
mined not to subscribe to the o. B. NJ the
Grand Chancellor demanded the charter and
property of the lodge. Several of the lodges
gave up their charters, but denied that the
grand officers had any right to the property

and Eighteenth streets was one of the lodges
which refused to take the q. B. N, and on
Monday, through her Chancellor (H. B. CattelD
surrendered the charter. On Monday night the
members assembled as usual, when thev found
that the room had been entered and all the
paraphernalia and working property had been
carried off A search was made but unsuccess-
lully, and an informal meeting was held, and
Messrs. r. A Bassford and w. Otto were
appointed a committee to continue the
search, and if necessary take legal steps
to obtain the property. Having satisfied
themselves of the manner in which the
property was taken, and the place of conceal
ment, they yesterday went before Justice
Marsh and caused q search-warrant to issue,
charging that they had probable cause to sus-
pect that the goods were concealed in the houses
of one of the following gentlemen: -Messrs.

of Detective Bigley (wbo is n member of the
order), and he at once commenced his inquiries,
and received an intimation that he would be in
possession of them before night. About O'Clock
Bigley was left at police headquarters. In this
chest was found all the property in good order
and condition. The paraphernaia was stored
at headquarters, and will be held by Mr. Big
ley until the case is decided Washington Star.

A HIGH OLD CIRCUS.
A Circus Troop Circumvented - The Great
Australians In LimbO-Circus Actors Take TO
The Htghway-NIfss AIinEie's Lions.


The Great Australian Circus Company, So
called because no member thereof has ever been
IN Australia, unless as a public benefactor at
Botany Bay, has come to grief. At Riverhead,
Long Island, the other day, the treasurer de-
camped with $4,000, all the money of the con-
cern, whereupon the residents brought in their
bills for hay, corn oats, cider pork and other
feed for man and beast The representative of
the Long Island Railroad Company also pre-
sented bills for transportation furnished but
there was no money to liqudate the claims, and
the managers and several of the actors were ar
rested and lodged in jail. The circus property
was levied upon, and everything, including the
sawdust was placed in the hands of the Sheriff.
There had been no salaries paid for some time,
and the actors not arrested had nothing where
with TO defray their expenses to and from
Riyerhead whereupon two of them, George
Rebbel, of New York, and Hendrick f. Gafgen,
of Ridgewood, fell back upon their old business,
and took to highway robbery. These clerks of
st. Nicholas overcame Mr.. Nathaniel Hemp
stead in the night time, and deprived him of his
days wages. Yesterday afternoon they were
captured on board the mail train in Jamaica,
and were locked up. Several other actors are
charged with having acted in like indecorous
manner towards the peaceful burghers, who
now look upon all bareback riders as barefaced
raiders, and will shun them accordingly for all
time henceforth forever.
Among the animals seized by the Sheriff were
the lions belonging to Miss Minnie Wells. This
young but muscular Amazon proposes to take
her case into court.

Troupe. Two original pieces by Mr. Craig were
given-the first protean farce, A Dress Re

rable from some of the excellent limitations OF
a burlesque entitled Don Juan, which compares
favorably with all other burlesques, and would be
much more enjoyable if severely pruned. Mr..

She Never Leaves Him.

Look at the career of a man as he pass
es through the world as a man visited by
misfortune! How often is he left by his
fellow-men to sink under the weight of
his Affections unheeded and alone !
One friend Of his own sex forgets him,
another abandons him. a third perhaps
betrays him /; but woman, faithful woman
follows him in his Affections with an un-
shaken affection ; payes the changes of
feeling, of his temper, embittered by the
disappointmcnts of the world, with the
highest of all virtue /; in resigned patience
ministers to his wants even when her own
are hard and pressing ; she weeps with him,
tear for tear, in his distress, and is the
first to catch and reflect a ray of joy,
should one light up his c%ountenance in the
midst of mis- suf1erings, and she never
leaves him in his misery while there re-
mains one act ofolove, duty or compassion
to be performed. And at last. when life
and sorrow comes to and end, she follows
him to the tomb with an ardor of affection
which death itself cannot destroy. - 4
