According to a calculation in the Arcana
of Science made some years since, that the
human race might double its numbers four
times in century, or once in twenty-five
years, as some philosophers have computed if
nothing prevented the increase, the descend
ents Of Noah and his family would have now
increased to the following number 81 ,496,-
577,676, GIG, 844,5S8,240,5 73, l68,70l Alb, :
S12,127, 674,674,9 1924 ,007 ,424. The surface
OF the earth contains of square miles, 1867
663,335. Mercury and all the other planets
contain about 46,690,51 coo. The sun con-
tains 2,442, 90O0OO,O00. All contain 2,4S9,-
S87,174,355. Hence upon the superstition OF
such rate of increase Of mankind as has
been assumed, the number Of beings now liv-
ing would have been equal to the following,
for each square mile upon the surface OF the
EARTH the sun, and OF all the pluunets, viz
81 ,062 900 100000, 600, 900, 600, 900, 000,-
100000, and the NUMBER to each SO. inch
alone is infinite in relation to human concep-
ton. Merely to count it would require all
incredible period. Suppose, in round num-
bers, the whole number of inhabitants upon
the surface Of the globe to be one thousand
Millions, and that this great multitude, INFANTS
and adults, should be employed iii nothing
else but counting 365 days in il year, and II
hours each day, at the rate Of 100 per min
ute, in order to count the number in question
it would require six millions, five hundred
thirv-six thousand five hundrc millions OF
years. .M,dicScr J0urnai

DAVIES PATENT PEDoMoTIvB CARRIAGE.-
This carriage consists of single wheel of D
feet 6 inches diameter, with a seat aud winch
attached to the centre on either SIDE The
wheel, of 7 feet diameter, covers q feet at
each revolution, and the weight of the whole
averages from so to 80 pounds. A great
merit in the invention is the small amount OF
friction, and the mode of suspending the
weight. The weight is thrown little in
front of the axle. From various trials, it
has been shown that two persons can travel
with ease at the rate of sixteen miles an
hour; and that so little are the legs called
into play--the body being quite at ease, and
supported by padded cushion in 'front.'
that the fatigue of working the carriage SIX
teen miles is not SO great as that of walking
four miles. In wheeling around, the person
on the inner side throws his whole weight on
which raises the outer rider off his legs, anc
the wheel comes round instantaneously. The
inventor and others feel assured that thirty
miles an hour might be accomplished without
any great effort The invention is although
a great Improvement on the original veloci
pcde.- Var Book IF Fats, le54.

80 AYERS
80 A9 PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES ORA
FA MILY PHYSIC.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgave pill which could be relic on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and IN extern
syc trial of its virtues has concusively shown with
what success it accompshes the purpose designed.
1t is easy to make physical pill, but not easy to
make the best Of all pills one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages, of
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and revulsion in the system to more
than 3 unterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any
quantity but it is better that any medicine should
he taken judiciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are ap-
plicablc are gwen on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them, we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
Of Jaundice, Indigestion, Lsnguor and Loss Of APP
petite, Lstlessness Irritatlty, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever a, Ague, Pain in the Side
and Loins for, in tr,.tn, all these arc but the
sequence of diseased action in the liver. As IN
aperent they afford prompt and sure relief in Co.'S
tiveness, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, Humors, Scrof-
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body
Ulcers and impurity of the blood; in short, any
and every case where purgativc is required.
They have also Produced some singularly sue
cessful cures in rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel,
Erysipelas papitation of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action. and restores the appe-
tite and vigor. They purify the blood and, by their
stmulant action on the circulatory system, reno
vate the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists but
necessary dosing should never be carried too far.
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in hich
physc is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason OF every
body; and it is confidently believed this pill will
answer better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need Of a
cathartc medicine.

RATHER SpIcY.--A lady Of San Francis

A PROPER Sp1n1r.-" Sir" said one of two
antagonists with great dignity to the other
during dispute which had not been confined

FARMING IMPLEMENTS, ILLINOIS. Whether
it is from the peculiar adaptation OF Illinois
lands Tor being worked to advantage by ma
chincry, or whether it is from the spirit and
enterprise OF her farmers and mechanics-
one thing is certain, that She is taking great
lead in the way of supplying herself and her
ncighbors with labor-savirg machines FOR the
farm. We fluid ina late No. of the SPRING
frM Journai report of a trial Of corn
planters, in which five machines were entered,
and all Of State manufacture, and reported
as doing excellent work, viz. -
1.-Two were hand planters, for hill, one
manufactured by Lester P;ttee, Of Pckin,
and the other by Randall & Jones, of Rock
ton; by either of which, a person can drop
and cover two rows at once, in Il field mark
ed ou, only one way,at the rate of mile
ana half an hour, as an average Two
were horsepower machines, dropping and
covering two rows at once, in field marked
one way. OF these, one invested and matt
uiacturcd by G. W. Cunningham, Of Bethel,
Morgan county, covered the coru by means
OF double set Of cultivator ploughs; while
the other, invented and manufactured by &.
W. Brown, OF Knoxville, covered with two
wide drum-whccls, Which coSed up Tie fur
rows opened by IA sletl-runuer, into which the
corn WAS dropped. With improvements whica
it is now obviously susce ,,tiblc of, one man
and pairot horses will plant correctly twenty
|acrcs day, and roll the ground at the same
operation, crushing all Jumps and cods. The
fifth machine was a drill, manufactured by
VIM. Teal, Of Batavia, Kane county. This
machine, with Que nan and one horse, drops
and covers one row, or ten acres day, with
no previous preparation of the ground
nj" On the first Wednesday in July there will
be II trial of seif-raking rcapcrs and moving
machines at Bloomington" ~
We doubt not the wisdom of limiting this
trial to self-rakers, but shall not attempt to
lind fault with those who ought to know tacir
own interest best

New CURE FOR BURNs.-Mr. A. Bronson,
Of Meadville, Pa. says from fifteen years
experience, he finds that Indian meal poultice
covered over with young hyson tea, softcnca
with hot water, and laid over burns or frozen
flesh. as hot as can be borne, will relieve the
pain in five minutes. Ii b!istcrs have not
arisen before, they will not after it is put on,
and that one pouItice is generally sufficient
to effect cure.

A Coon SroRY.--5omo of the students Of
the Indiana State University, were supposed
to be In the habit of drinking brandy. Where
they obtained it was mystery. DR.. Duffy
determined to ferret cut the secret. Calling
into small drug store, the proprietor Of
which asked him /" how that sick student, Mr..
Garter came on 2" Smelling rat, the Doc
tor answered in an cvaslve manner, and soon
drew out Of the apohccary that the students
under suspicion had been in the habit Of pur-
chasing brandy for a sick student by the name
Of Carter; that they said he was quite low,
and was kept alive by stimulants; that the
young gentleman seemed very much devoted
to him. Now the secret was out. This Car
ter was ticticious character, and the Doctor
had the secret.
However, he kept his own counsel. The
next time the students assembled in chapel
for prayers, he cast his eyes over the crowd,
and satisfied himself that Carriers nurse were
all present. The devotions were duly con-
Quoted, and then he called the attention OF
students, rcmarking that he had mournful
task to perform-as the President of the
University it became his duty to announce
the death of their fellow student, Mr.. Carter
After a lingering illness Of several weeks, a
portion OF which he was kept ohre by shmn.
lants, he had breathed his last. He had nc
doubt that this announcement would fall sad
ly on the ears of those who had SO tmthtui|l
attended to his wants, but he hoped they woulC
hear it with resignation-he hoped they woul(
reflect Oh the oit-repeated words II mrnt
mori that he would now no longer detain
but leave them to their own reflections!
The result of this announcement was start
ling. None of the Professors, and but few
of the students, had ever heard of Carter
"Who is he?" was whispered. Meme kney
but the " kind friends who attended him, an;
they wouldn't tell and the President seemed
SO derply og,eted, that they didn't like tt
ask him.

FARMING.

Among the most vigorous class of people
the farmer may be found. There arc many
ways BY which men Of this present age pro-
cure the neccssarics of life, but no occupation
is more conclusive to health and happiness
than farming. There are several ways by
which this may be cxenlpiifed.
First In order to make the muscles Of
the human body rigid aud strong, they should
all receive their due proportion Of exercise.
Those trades and kinds of exercise that tend
to give every muscle its proper share of &C.
ton. both of the upper aud lower extremities,
are more salutary, as it tends to devclopc and
strengthen them equally.
y" ud-The purer the AIR VIC breathe, the
longer can the muscles be employed in labor.
What department can be more thoroughly
ventilated than the open fields?
THrd : Light has as great an influence
upon man as it has upon the plant, particu-
larly that of the sun. You have doubtless
noticed plant that grows III the shade is
weak and pale. The same. is true of man;
both, in order to make them. strong. require.

There might be numerous other reasons
brought forward to show that farming is most
conclusive to health; but is useless TO- multi.
