Interesting Statistics.

A gentleman who keeps the run Of
facts, figures and babies, has just laid
before "an enquiring world" the folio
wing statistics: The whole number Of
languages spoken in the world amount
to 1904 in Europe, 936 in Asia; 276 in
Africa, and 1854 in America. The in
habitants of our globe profess more than
/, 900 different religions. The number
eff men is about equal to the number Of
women. The average of fhuman life is
about 33 years, One quarter part die
previous to the age Of I years; one hall
before reaching II years of age, and
those who pass this age enjoys a felicity
refused to one half the human species.
To every 1000 persons only one reaches
100 years of life; to every 100 only six
reach the age Of 66. and not more than
one in five hundred live to so years o.
age. There are on theearth 1 ,000,0OOO0C
Of inhabitants and of these 333, 1888, ,33S
die every year, 81 324 every day, 3,7lO
every hour, 60every minute or one every
second. These losses are about balanced
by an equal number Of births. The ma
rried are longer lived than the single, and
above all, those who observe sober and
industrious conduct. Tall men live lon
ger than short ones. Women have more
chances of life in their favor previous to
being 30 years Of age than men have,
but fewer afterwards. The number Of
marriages is in proportion Of l75t every
| 1000 individuals. Marriages are more
frequent after the equinoxes; that is du-
ring the months of June and December
Those born in the spring are generally
more robust than others. Births and
deaths are more frequent by night thar

these statements are rather singular, and
yet many Of them are susceptible Of an
easysolution. That marriages take place
more frequently in June and Deceluber,
than other months Of the year, was just

case. Those who marry in June, do AZ,

came of'in June, are commonly love
matches, and are brought about BY green
fields, and the contagious influence Of
bobolinks and yellow birds; while these
which happen in December, are brought
about, in great degree, by mixing plain
mathematics with the market value OF

READING FOR THE LADIES,

it is questionable whether there is any
:hing in this world more subject to caprice
than the female woman. Weathercocks
may be taught to crow Holsters to dance
cotillions, and three cent liquor to
ehave itself-but who ever expects to
meet with woman that is perfectly con-
tented either with her house, self, or EN-
belEshmentsl Like a miser, her love Of
"change" is without bounds, and full as
much without reason.
She goes to church, not to see what is
new in the way of texts, but what is new
in the way ofbonnets; and raises her eyes
to heaven, not because she is thinking of
her latter end. but because she can't make
ont what that fright" has got on who
occupies "the left hand corner ofthe choir.
Does she get a harp, it will not be a
week before she will be teasing "the
brute" her husband for a piano. Get a
piano, and a month will scarcely elapse
before she will be SO annoyed with its
eternal ding, "that she will have strong
thoughts of placing leg of it on the
hand-irons, for the purpose of giving a
tone to the kitchen fire. Among the
ladies whose talent for this sort of vare-
ty almost amounts to genius, is the wife
Of friend Fantadling For three months
previous to the birth of her first child,
''the gentlmau that pays her bread bill y
was kept on a keen jump, like trighte-
ned kangaroo or a lamp lighter. The
moment the markets were closed, she fell
as if she could eat a beaf steak, while
oysters were no sooner out of season.
than nothing but selfish, in her opinion
would save her from an untimely grave
One night we met the poor devil when
the snow was mp to his knees what tdo you
soppose his lady needed then-two water
melons and a pint of strawberries. The
last time we saw him was in January
last, when he was sitting on the wharf
trying to catch a fresh shad with an oys-
ter tongs; his wife looking upon it as
"sintul" to use either saline or hook.
To end his miseries, he hung himself
about the middle of April, leaving a
warning to courderoys" in his left boot
The most singular part Of the story re-
mains yet to be told
Since the demise of the he Fantadling,
his lady has recovered her stability, She
eats cold patatoes with a constancy and
relish that even wood d-cock could not once
excite-while her desires for shell.fsb are
limited to semi monthly visitation Of
"six.pence worth of clans" From this
the reader will perceive that a large por.
fion of the caprice in the market is no
thing but selfshness-while the best way
to lessen a woman's wants, is to deprive
her other husband. Wives are as easily
spoiled as children, and in nine cases out
Of ten, from the same cause, too much
humoring. Wether your matrimonial
voyage therefore is pleasant one Or not
depends altogether how you allow your
consort to carry sail. Let us sing! ~
