THE WORLDS POPULATION.

A paper was read before the Mancheste.
Statistical Society short time ago, calling
attention to the researches of the German
statisticians, Benin and Wagner, with re-
srect to the population of the world. OF the
many estimates of the number of iiihabi-
tants of our globe, none are accounted
trustworthy. In 1855, VoTSius estimated
that there were 5,000,000,Oe0. Benin and
Wagner set down the nliinber at the present
time at ], ,39i 100000. The subjects of Vic
toria are rated at 300, 100000 Russia has
population of S2,O00,OO0. India supposed
to be the most populous country on the
globe, has probably 300,op0.OO0 inhabitants.
China is said to have 4O0,000,000 inhabi-
tants, but the estimate is undoubtedly gross
exaggerated. The population of South
America has been checked by internal dis
cord. In Paraguay there is said to have
been an actual loss of $4,000. An estimate
based upon the growth of Great Britain and
the United States gives to the former coun-
try in the year 1000 population of 81 ,000,-
600, and to the later of 5G6,000;O00

A Quiet Life.

You scorn my dwelling as you pass Il by;
lido not say, come In;
Yot are stranger to the company
entertain therein.
My house is humble, yet within its walls
Contentment doth abide;
And from the wings of Pcacea blessing falls
Like dew at eventide.
You think my soul is narrow, like the room
Wherein | toll for bread,
And TINT, because oblivion is my doom,
might us well be dead.
Yet are you sure the riches are not mine,
The poverty your Wn?
Is he not rich who finds his lot divine,
I'm howell or on throne2
You judge me by the narrow boundaries
'Twixt which my body moves;
But behold wider land that lies
Free to the soul that loves.
Is that not mine in which l hourly take
My largncss of delight?
Are not all things created for his sake
Who rcatis their nearing right
Is it not mine, this landscape I behold p
Mine to enjoy and use
FOR all ife's noblest uses, though no gold
Ila- ma,'e ii mine to lose?

WHY HE DIDN'T GET UP.

Widow TannahilPs boy was very hard
upon his trowsers last winter. lie would
siide down hills on shingles and play see
saw upon unplaned boards And SO his
mother, at last, in desperation placed a
sheet-iron patch upon the seat of his pan
falcons, and informed him that when that
was worn ont he might go barelegged. A
/ few days ago tho boy was hanging around
the foundry just outside the town, and
after while lie took as eat upon a pile of
pig-iron so that he could watch the men
running the molten lead into the lnoulds.
1t happened to be iron thai had been mads
out of magnetic ore, and The consequence
was that when young Mr.. Tannahill tried
to rise, for the purpose OF going home, he
. fonnd that the affection of the patch for the
pig iron held him fast. He couldn't imap
inc what was the matter and he felt scared
about it, but after several Intellectual strug-
giles he abandoned hope, and began to cry.
Just then the foreman came out. and seeing
the boy, he said
whats the matter, sonny ."
"Nothin'.''
Anything all you ?''
"YOu never mind''
"Why don't you hush up and go home?''
Cause | want TO sit here. | want to

"Well, now you must git down off of
them pigs, and leave. Come, now, skipr'
ono l won't, nuther.''

/ 81 bet you WON'T
| ''1ou get down off that pile or III boost
| you down duicker'n hghtnin'.''
| "I'd like to see you do it's
/ Then the foreman, in 4 rage, dashed at
Tannahili and tried TO haul him off, but ho
was amazed to find that the boy was too
heavy for him. He was little scared, but
he called one Of the worknen, and after a
struggle they stood Tannahill- oh the
| ground Then they observed that he had
two pigs of non permanently attached
| crosswise to his trowsers, so that as soon as
they let go of him he suddenly had to sit
| down.
Finally they gave him a terrific wrench
and got him loose, but the sheet-i iron patch
stuck to the iron, and Mr.. Tannahill's shirt
futtered through an opening big enough to
set bay window in. Then the boy went
hoiiie, and now the Widow Tannahill has
| brought suit against the foreman for the
valte OF the wrecked trowsers. The case
excites much interest for the question is
was the sheet iron patch to blame, or the
foreman for trying to keep the boy from
going through the world with two hundred
pounds % pig-iron or his rear? Black
stones Commentaries doesn't say word
about such cases, and the lawyers are wild
! because they can't find any authorities.
