ion Of some who have made calcuIa-

been for about two thousand years,
there have been between eight and nine
millions Of souls born into the world,
in the course of one generation, (com-
puted at about thirty yea,s) and as ma
ny removed to the land Of silence. AT
this rate, about five hundred millions
of souls have passed over this stage OF
action since the commencement of The
Christian FRA. We may Justly con-
clude that nearly as many more were
born and died during the two thousand
three hundred and forty eight years
which interviewed between the food
and the birth Of our Saviour, and
many more in the generations before
the food together with those who were
swept away at that time. For though
this period was but sixteen hundred *
sixty years, or thereabout, yet the great
age 10 which they lived, and the popu-
lalion in consequence, would induce
US TO suppose that the earth was as fully
peopled at the time Of the food as it
has been at any period since. This

ON CARD PLAYING.

Where tasteless companions together are
met,
Or peevish old virgins compose the Dun set
Or where Scandal usurps the dominion Of
Wit,
I grant YOU, that cards are substitute fl :
But where Wit and good Nature are hap
PLY join'd,
Where taste and intelhgenceSpolsh the
mind,
Where wisdom proceeds from the lips Of
the fair,
And candor presides as the cenlinel there,
With such companion, advance what you
will,
One hour is worth twenty, at Whist or
Qnadrille.
