The POPULATION OF THE UNITED

The POPULATION OF THE UNITED
STATEs.-The Railroad Record has an able
article on the physical Development of the
United States and the laws Of population,
in which the views of Mr.. Darby are intelli.
gently considered. According to what the
Record considers the actual law of popula.
ton, the African race in this country will
amount, in 1850, to 4,5a0,OO and in sew.
enty years the negroes will number 20, ,O00,.
600. The probable results of the general
increase of the total inhabitants of the Uni.
ted States are thus calculated: In 1850,
2a,OOO,OOO; 1850, 1850, 900; 1870, 49,.
100000; 1880, 100000; 1890, 72,000,.
OO0; 1900, 100000; 1860, 200, ,O00,.
900; 1000, 64O,OOO,OOO. ~
Is this result impossible OF even inproba.

bic? The number Of square miles in the
United States is near three millions. With
six hundred and forty.six millions Of people,
the density of population would be about
2l4 per square mile. The density of Bel.
GUM, Holland and England is greater than
that. The density Of Great Britain and
Ireland is about 225 per square mile, which
is about the fair ratio for a, country in .
high state Of civilization, and with diversi.
fed soil.

TIE EMPTY CRADLE.-The death of q
little child is to the mothers heart like the
dew onla plant, from which q bud has Just
perished.s The plant lifts up IT'S head IN
fresheped greenness to the morning light;
so the mothers soul gathers from dark sor-
row which she has passed, a fresh brighten.
ing of her heavenly hopes. ~
AS she bends over the empty cradle, and
fancy brings her sweet infant before her, q
ray of diNne-light is on the cherub face. It
is her son still, but with the seal Of immor:
tality on his brow. She feels that Heaven
was the only atmosphere where her precious
flower could unfold without spot or blemish,
and she would not recall the lost. But The
anniversary Of his departue seems TO bring
his spiritual presence near her. She indul-
ges in that tender grief which soothes, like
an opiate in pain, ali hard passagesandcar
in life. The world to heris no longer Alled
with human love and hope in the future, so
glorious with heavenly love and joy :'ishe has
treasures of happiness which the worldly,
uuchastened heart neyer conceived. The
bright fresh flowers withywhich she has de.
corated her room, the apartment where her
infant dice, are memsntoes of the far brgh-
ter hopes now dawniug on her day dream.
She thinks, Of theglory and beauty Of the
new Jerusalem, where the little foot viii
never find thorn among the flowers, TO rem.
der q shoe necessary. Nor will pillow be
wanted for the dear head reposing on the
breast of a kind Savior. And she knows
that her infant is there in that world Of eter-
nal bliss. .... 3.
She marked one passage in that book, to
her emphaticslly the World of Life, now ~,
ing clOssd on.the toilet table, which. she dai-
ly reads: Suffer little children to come
unto me, for ofsueh is the kingdom Of Hesv.
