POPULATION OF THE GRAvE.-Under this head
the Merchants Ledger has some very curious
and interesting calculations.
1t estimates the average Of births per second for
the last eighteen hundred and fity-three years, at
about eight hundred and fifteen. This would
make the whole number of human beings who
have lived since the birth of Christ, about thirty
two thousand millions.
Deducting from this number the nine hundred
and sixty millions, who form the present population
of the globe, and it leaves the number thirty one
thousand and forty millions that have gone to the
grave.
OF this number the estimate is that nine thou
sand millions have died by wars.
Eight thousand millions by famine and pesti-
lence.
Five hundred millions by martyrdom.
Five hundred and eighty millions by intoxicating
Thirteen thousand millions naturally or other
wise.
strong drink have sent one-third of the human
race 10 premature grave.
