The MocKINe BIRD - Mr.. Rennie, in an ar
ticle on American song birds, in the January
number Of the Magazine Of Natural History,
has an interesting account Of the knocking
bird, which he says seems to be The prince of
all song birds, being altogether unrivalled in
the extent and variety of his vocal powers; and,
besides the fullness and melody Of his original
notes, he has the faculty of initiating The notes
Of all other birds, from the clear mellow tones
Of the wood thrush 10 the savage scream OF The
bald eagle. In measure and accents he faith,

sweetness of expression he greatly improves
upon them. His own no,es ale bod and full,

From this estlmatel 1t appears, that there are
more than Pagans and Mahometans to
Christian, and only one Protestant to II of all
other denominations. Although all the Ro-
imam Catholics, Greeks, and Protestants, were
reckoned true Christians, there still remain
more than $50 millions of our fellow-m men ig-
'n0rant Of the true God, and of his will as re-
vealed in the Sacred@Scriptures which shows
what a vast field of exertion still lies open to
Christian benevolence, before the blessings OF
civilization, mental improvement, rational lib
erty, and Christianity, be fully communicated
to the Pagan and hlahometan world.
If we suppose that the earth, at an average,
has always been as pcpulous as it is now, and
that ii contains 500 millions of inhabitants, as
aboye-stated and if we reckon 80 years for
generation, ait the end of which period the
whole human race is renewed; it will follow.
that 145 thousand millions of human beings
have existed on the earth since the present sys-
tenn Of our globe commenced, reckoning 582S
years from Adam to fhe present time.* And
consequently, if mankind had never died,
there would have been 182 times the present
number Of the earths' inhabitants now In ex-
istence. It follows from this statement, that
50 millions Of mankind die every year, 1883
|every hour, and II every minute, and that at
least, an equal number during these periods,l Is
emerged from non. existence to the stage or
life; SO that, almost every moment, ratlonsi
and immortal being is ushered into the world
and another is transported to the nVls,oie
state. Whether, therefore, we contemplate
