THg ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH There Is not,
and there never was, on this earth, 4 work OF hu-
man policy SO well deserving Of examination as
the Roman Catholic Church. The history Of that
church Joins together the two great ages OF human
civilization. No other Institution is left standing
which carries the mind back TO the times when the
smoke of sacrifice rose irom the fantheOn, aud
when leopards and tigers bounded. in the Fla
Wan smphitheatre. The PrOntest royal houses
are but OF YESTERDAY, when compared with the line
Of the Supreme Pontiffs. Thai line we trace
back in an unbroken series, from the Pope who
crowned Napoleon in the nineteenth century, 20
the Pope who crowned Pepin ia the eighth; and
fas beyond the time Of Pepin the august dynasty
extends, till il is lost in The twilight OF liable
The Republic or Venice, came next in antiquity.
But The Republic OF Venice modern when
compared with the Papaey; and the republic Of
Venice Is gone, and the Papaey remains. The
Papacy remains, not in decay, not a mere antique,
but full Of life and youthful vigOr. The Catholic
Church is stIll sending TO the fartherest ends
OF the world, missionaries as jealous as those
who landed in Kent with Augustine; and still con-
fronting hostile kings with the sane spirit with
which she confronted Attila. The number OF her
children is greater than in any former ase. HeT
spiritual ascendancy extends Overt the vast c0un
tics which lie between the plains OF the Me

hence, may not imProbsbly contain population
a. large as thar whach now inhabits Europe. The
members OF her communion are certainly not few
er than a hundred and htty millions, andh VIII De
difficult to show that all the other Christian sects
united, amount 10 a hundred and twenty millions.
Nor do we see any sign which indicates that the
term Of her long dominion is approaching. She
saw the commencement of all governments. and
of all the eeclesisstical establishments that now
exist in the world; and We feel no assurance
that abe is not destined 10 see the end Of them all

Wrong Dates to Love.Letters.

Translate for DIES Eats Uns
The New Year festivities have furnished the
usual amount of chit-chat and gossip, and we see
by the French papers, that the custom of passing
from one year to another in the gay society of init
mate friends, is solemnzed in the :" first circles "
by kissing all round as the clock strikes twetue.
Among the anecdotes of the season, is the men
ton of the unlucky accident by which one OF the
most conspicuous dandies of Paris lately lost a
widow with large fortune, to whom and which he
was about to be united. 1t was an engagement of
marriage which realized all his hopes, repaired his
lost fortunes, and made him supremely cOntented-
in prospect. He had, however, gay companions
of whom it was necessary to take convlvial leave
and the last night of the year was agreed upon as
iubilastic adieu to wine, play, etc. As he, OF
course, could not see his widow for the twenty-four
hours in which this event was to be imbedded, and
as she was sentimentaly fond of love made leglble
on paper, he sat down, on the twenty-nlnth and
thrtieth of December, and took two days to indlte
the best love-letter of which he was capable. Its
main object was to account for his absence from
her on the evening of the 3lst, without betraying
to what saturnalia the time was 10 be devoted.
Commencing by dating his letter, Daybreak,
January LIST, he went on

sweet. | walked at daylight OF this morning, and
with the first glimmer of the coming day, sit down
to describe to you my dream,'' etc. etc.
He went on to describe his dream in all its de-
tails, and so filed four closely written and eloquent
pages. This he completed, as it was time to pre-
pare for his frolic, and on leaving his lodgings at
p NJ, December 3lst, he gave it to his servant,
with strict orders to take it to Madame -, at her
breakfast hour the next morning-not proposing or
expecting 10 be at home again himself till noon of
the next day.
The night passed as such nights do-except thai
the lover, losing great deal of money at play re-
turned earlier than he had expected, entering his
lodgings at four in the morning.

most loyal subjects in Canada, tsays the New York
Express.) we observe from late proceedings in the
Provincial Parliament, are becoming partially in
fscted with the slaue mania which operates so I'M
avorably, at times to the transaction of business in
our own Congress. In recent number OF the
Montreal Herald we find sketched debate upon
:" bill for the arrest of fugitives from the United
States" the specific objec, of which is thus stated
by its author, Mr.. Lafontaine: The treaty OF ex-
tradition of ls42 with the United Statesl was not
perfected till the bill of last year was passed at
Washington, at the time of his visit. But the Eng
fish act was defective in the first clause. inasmuch
as it made it necessary that the fugitive from justice
should be publicly claimed of the Government,
which gave occasion for the party to escape. Tins
bill would give power to the judges of the Superior
Courts and to Justices of the peace to carry out the
law Mr.. Lafontaine, in introducing the bill, said
it was intended only to carry out the treaty. in the
same way as it was now carried out by the law OF
the United States There was nothing more IN II
than in the American law, and it was of course
necessary to act in good faith with the American
Government.
