New Years.

1871 opens, and another year has fed. |
One year older-everything is one year
older except God and His Church. Nothing
can be said to grow older which remains
the same. Every thing natural progresses
and decays, the supernatural alone is not
subjected to this law.
Each and every man is truly one year
older to- day, because every one is one year
nearer to the grave. The beautiful struc-
lures of mans handiwork-the cathedrals,
the obelisks, the pyramids-have felt the
touch of time, were it never SO light. Ma
tions and societies and constitutions have
made one more step towards their dissolu-
ton, for they, too, are the work of man,
and partake of his mortality. The grand
and patient Live oak, the lofty cedar of
Lebanon with its thousand years, the
frowning cliff that battles with the storm,
have all felt the tooth of inevitable decay.
Even the globe which we inhabit-who
knows but that, passive and changeless as
it seems, it, too, is subject to the universal
law of development and decay, that by the
force of interior agencies it shall one day
fall into a mass of smouldering ruin, and be
resolved into its original chaos
But the New Year does not mark an era
in the age of God. He is the same now
that he always has been, without shadow
of development or decay or change-sclf-
existing and eternal. Whatever is super
natural partakes of the same perfection
and immutability. The Catholic Church is
tie only institution on earth which is be-
yond the corroding power of time, and car
boast of perpetual youth. 1t was perfect
then that it has been ever since, and ii
: now. No innovation can ever come t.
make it differ in the slightest particular
from what Christ left it. The vigor of it
Grst age is as vital now, it's organization a

The Wing, recently published an ar
tjclc on emigration, in whichit Endorses the
plan Of emigrant colonies, and says lit is
the mode best adopted to our condition.
Our present labor would suffice if we had
the means to pay i and to improve our
land. But no matter what system may
be adopted, a change in the law IS requisite
At present Judgment obtained in one
county is lien on land in any other for
twelve months, without notice. This
throws doubt over every title, and puts
us to great disadvantage by the SIDE OF
the clear title of the Washington Land Of
fice.n We were not aware OF the exls-
tence Of such law, but presume that the
information of the Wing is correct. we
can hardly conceive Of more ruinous en- en-
actment in state that seeks emigration,
and trust it will receive the early attention
of the Legislature when it convencs.
We don't conceive it essential to spend
large sums of money to induce emlgra-
ton to Virginia. Some intelligently ar
ranged plan is needed, by which
large tracts of land can be concentrated
and subdiyided to suit purchasers. This i
one, and we think the first step. Then w
