The Roman Catholic Church.-The follow
ing is one OF Macaulay's happiest efforts 1t
is written as he always writes, with bold,
dashlng pen, full OF figures and strong reason
ing and glowing ideas:
There Is not, and there never was, on his
earth, work of human polcy so well deserv-
ing OF examination as the Roman Catholic
Church. The history OF that church joins to-
gether tie two great ages of human civiliza-
tion. No other institution is left standing
which carries the mind back TO the times when
the smoke of sacrifice rose from the Pantheon,
and when came leopards and tigers bounded in
the Flavian amphitheatre. The proudest roy
al houses are but of yesterday, when compar.
ed with the line of the Supreme Pontfs.-
That line we trace back in an unbroken Sc
ries, from the Pope who crowned Napoleon
in the nineteenth century, to the Pope who
crowned Pepn in the eighth; and far beyond
the time OF Pepin the august dynasty extends,
till ii is lost in the twilight of fable. The re.
public OF Venice came nextin antiquity. But
the republic ct Venice was modern when COM
pared with the Papacy; and the republic Of
Venice Is gone, and Papacy remains. The
Papacy remains not in decay, not mere an
tique, but full of life and youthful vigor-
The Catholic Church is still sending forth TO
the farthest ends of the world, missionaries
as Jealous as those who landed in Kent with
Augustine; and still confronting hostile kings
with the same spirit with which she confron
ted Attllla. The number of her children is
greater than in any former age. Her acqui-
sitions in the New World have more than
compensated her for what she has lost in the
Old. -.-...
Her spiritual ascendancy extends over the
vast countries which lie between the plain of
the Missouri and Cape Horn-countries, which
a century hence, may not improbably contain
a population as large as that which now in
habits Europe. The members of her commu-
nifty are certainly not fewer than one hundred
and fifty millions, and it will be difficult 10
show that all the other Christian sects united
amount 10 one hundred and twenty millions.
Nor do we see any sign that indicates that the
term of her long dominion is approaching
She saw the commencement of all governments
and of all ecclesiastical establishments thai
now exist in the world and we feel no as
surance that she is not destined to see the end
of them all. She was great and respectable
before the Saxon had set foot on Britain--be
fore the Frank had crossed the Rhine-wher
Greciaa eIoquence still f1ourshed at Antioch
when idols were still worshipped in the tenn.
| pie of Mocha. And she may still exist in un
diminished vigor when some traveller from
New Zealand shall, in the midst of vast sol
itude, take his staad Oh broken arch of Lon

brothers were the most memorable instances.
At Eerneghem, village three leagues from
the town of Bruges, formerly near the central
point between Bruges, Thourout, and Ostend.
were born on the 28lh ult., two children of
the female sex compactlY united to each 9TH

igature union beginning a little below the
right of one and the left of the other, and
continuing as far as the naval, so that the
children do not look each other in the face,
but are turned one towards the other, in an OBJ
liuue position. Their heads, arms, thigs, and
legs are perfectly free, and they have the
proper use of all their limbs, and their position
is such as to permit their mother to nurse
them both at the same time without difficulty.
The curate OF the parish baptized them the
day of their birth in the names of Marie and
Sophie. The parents are poor servants, work

Ungodly Boot-We once heard from the
Inns of an old man of the Puritanc school that,
when brown top boots were first introduced.
he took fancy TO pair, which he wore fol
a Sunday or two, when, to his great surprise
and annoyance, he was summoned to church
meeting TO answer for the ungodly manner in
which he appeared on the Sabbath. The
good man, with the brown-tops, looked as if
he had been charged with visiting Bartholo-
new Fair. The elder gravely arose, and
stated the judgment OF the church. which ran
thus: "Should brother George Slate again
appear on the Lords day in ungodly brown
top boots, he will be expelled from this
church"
