The Mew Tear.
The Old Year has departed, the
New has eouie, but in what doee it
differ from' that portion of time,
which hoe teen rung out of existence
from the wteepies of muny lands.
The whole difference oonaista but in
the change of two number*. Tbe
am tie Seven now occupies the place
of tlie Igure 8&, and ah aught now
stands, where formerly tlie soral
Nine kept gnertl. In alt other re
spects what waw, remains unchanged;
aud the New Year does m>t, aud
shall not in itself, differ from tbe
year ’SO, that henceforth belongs to
history ? the history of the individ
ual, the family, the nations, tbe
globe, tbe planetary system to which
we belong, and eternity. Our planet
shall, as hi yewrs and ages jutst, con-
tlnae Its unwearied course In the
Armament, and, u while the earth r»-
maineth, seed time aud harredt, anil
eold and heat, and turn in cr and win
ter, and day aud night *hall net reeee."
There shall of course be changes,
but they shall lie such as have token
pluc<- again and again in the last
year, daring past ages, and while
man lias been a dweller on the face
of the earth. The great, the emn-
plieated, the wonderfttl machinery,
planned and executed by the So

Dcrnheim, having taken charge of
St. .Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran
Church in Wilmington, N. C., desires
correspondents hereafter to address
him accordingly.
ljP We intend hereafter, at tbe
close of each mouth, to publish a
list of discontinuance*, together with
the causes. We give a few examples
from oar list;

It may hurt the feelings of those
who are cut off because they fail to
aet the part of houest men; but it
will only be for a short time. It will
soon be forgotten. We though feel
it in a far different way; it hurts our
pocket; it wounds oar spirits; and
it would kill ns, were it not that a
dishonest Lutheran is like a white
swallow—very seldom to be met
with. Lutherans are taught tbe
Ten Commandments; one of which
srys: “Thou si Lai t not steal.”

all who desire “a thorough com pen

cultivate in himself or his family a
taste for the best literature, can
not well dispense with The Living

Considering the quantity of reading
matter furnished, the subscription

those who desire the cream of both

cheaper offer is made, of which the
lovers of tbe best literature will avail
