The last number is greater than the
present population of Great Britain, France,
Spain and Prussia together, and far
greater than any number of civilized peo
pie ever yet united in nation. Yet with
this population the United States would
have but twenty eight inhabitants to every
square mile--less than one third the present
density of the population of New York
State which is nearly ninety four to the
square mile. There is perhaps no doubt
in any ones mind that the whole territory
of the Uuited States is, on the average,
naturally capable of supporting popula>
ton as dense as that Of Massachusetts,.
Yet that State has l63 inhabitants to every
square mile, and the United States when
equally peopled, will contain 619,n00, 900
of inhabitants. 1t seems very long time
to look forward to the end of this century,
but the country now has nearly fourteen
times the number of people for whom the
Fedeial Constitution was first framed and
the child born this year, if it attain the
age of three score and ten, will in all
probability be citizen of nation Of
325, 500, 900 people.

LUCK AND LABoR.-Indoleut people
are the ouly disciples of luck, and luck
alone is their god. They are always sure
something is going to turn up" for their
benefit, aud therefore wait in idleness, with
" folding of hands while the industrious,
with strong and sharp will, go manfully to
work aud turn up " something from the
most unpromisiug material.
Luck sleeps on the hope of legacy
Tomorrow, breakfasts Ga disappointment,
aud sits out the day in cold and hunger
still waiting for the fortune that labor
achieves by sturdy blows and well>directed
efforts. The ringing hammer and busy
pen, are laying the foundation of compe-
tence, while Incidence fosters miser and
crime.
Luck is simply tie bantling of the most
precarlous chance, while labor is the all
powerful god of success, that ove-leaps
every obstacle, aud conquers the world in
detail.
Luck whines. Labor whistles. Luck
relies on the turn of card. Labor on
sturdy blows and honesty of purpose.
Luck slips downward to penury. Labor
strides upward to independence. Luck
makes the outcast and the criminal. Labor
the man of substance and the Christian
gentleman.

The United States have an area of 81

acres nearly an acre for every dollar of the

Value Of Reading.

The following should receive the careful at
tention of every parent, as well as every young
man in the country:
"a child, beginning to read, becomes de-
lighted with newspapers because he reads of
names and things which are very familiar, and
he will make progress accordingly. A newspa-
per- In one year, Is worth a quarters schooling
to child, and every father must consider that
substantial information is connected with this
advancement The mother of any family be-
ing one Of its heads, and having more imme-
date charge of children, should herself be in
terested. A mind occupied becomes fortified
against the ills of life and is braced for any
emergency. Children, amused by reading or
study are, of course, considerate and easily gov
eerned. How. many thoughtless young men
have spent their earnings in tavern or grog-
shop who ought to have been reading? How
many parents who never spent twenty dollars
tor newspapers for their families, would gladly
have given thousands Of dollars to reclaim son
or daughter, who had gnorantly--and thought
lessy fallen into temptation.
