THE PAST AND TILE FUTtillE: AN ESTIMATE FOR 1040 The truly extraordinary progress of this country in power, population and resources, is calculated to excite wild and sometimes vision- ary speculation as to the future. Our national existence is a thing of yesterday, c ,mpared with some of the older nations. And yet State after State has grown up, million upon million has been added to our population, and not a year goes by that additional thousands and tens of thousands are not poured in upon us from the Old World. The discovery of steam, and its application to the purposes of navigation and railroad travelling, have given a new impulse to our progress. We arc now, by the agency of .Wantic steamers, within the distance of a fortnight, if we measure distance by time, of several of the crowded chic's of Europe. The emigrant, moreover, may land at one of our Atlantic ports. anti by the agency of railroads, pass westward through half a dozen of our States in the course of a few days. Thus the adventurer on the other side of the Atlantic may, before setting out, calculate within a short time, the exact sum that it will be ne essary to expend, and the precise amount of time that will be consumed in transferring his little family to Wisconsin, lowa, Texas, o• some other flourishing , point of the far West or South. The dangers and the difficulties of the enterprise, which years ago were considered to be almost insurmountable, have in a great mea sure. disappeared. A vast multitude have already passed the trackless ocean, and written back to their friends in a cheerful and encourag ing spirit. Thus it is that one emigrant makes another, and that the-tide continues to swell.— Who then under these circumstances will ven ture to read the future ? Who will venture to give a picture of this Republic with its teeming millions as it shall appear a hundred years hence? A hundred years! What changes may take place within such a period ! How many new Slates may be carved out of the wilderness and redeemed to civilization ! We some days since saw a pa•agaaplt in one of the public journals, announcing that fifteen or twenty years ago, six young men left the neighborhood of Lexington, Ky., to seek their fortunes further west—and that the whole six would meet together at Washington during the next Session of Congress, as representatives of the new States of the Republic. What a com mentary upon our progress, our people,•and our institutions ! What an inducement to others in like circumstances—the young, the ardent, the energetic and the enthusiastic, to imitate the example. and also to become pioneers, patriots, and legislators. True, all do not succeed.— Many perish by the wayside. Many, unable to wrestle against difficulties incident to new set tlements, or to resist the effects of a new climate, sicken and die. But the cotiiplexion of the new 'House of Representatives, if closely analyzed, would, perhaps, form the most elo quent commentary upon this subject that could be given. We are indeed advancing with rapid strides. We are eminently favored by Provi dence. But while in the enjoyment of so many national blessings, while basking in the light of prosperity, and dwelling happily in a land that teems with . abundance, we should not forget our duties. Truth, honor, and honesty should form our characteristics. As we increase in power and prosperity, so also should We in crease in justice ; virtue, and magnanimity.— We are working out the mighty experiment of a people governing themselves. We are testing on a grand scale the beauty of republicanism. This world is looking on. Despotism watches with fear and trembling, the lovers of liberty with anxious solicitude. When we commit an error, the tyrants of the earth, who would keep the masses in a condition of dependence and. serfdom, exult and point their fingers with scorn. When we prove false to our mission, the friends of liberty and humanity weep tears of blood. Much has been accomplished, and yet we are by no means perfect. Liberty some times degenerates into licentiousness, and a violation of law is sometimes mistaken for freedom. But we• must live and• learn. Our sages, ptitriois and philosophers must exercise a sleepless vigilence. There are hero, as in all other parts of the earth, demagogues, ambitious, vicious, and dangerous men,—men who for self, would thrall and trample upon the masses; would sacrifice a world. Let these be watched and guarded against. Let us at least strive to improve, not only morally and intellectually, but politically. Then and then only will our future be .glorious. Then and then only will. wo prove 'true to the mighty mission tliat has been confided to us. But, when we commenc ed this article, we merely intended to invite at tention to the following extract from a late number of Hunt's Merchants' Magazine. It furnishes a startling estimates of the future population of the American Union. , NOVEMBER 28, 1853. " In 1840, the 'United States had a popula tion of 17,068.966. Allowing its future in crease to be at the rate of 33h per cent. for each succeeding period of 10 years, we shall num ber in 1940, 303,101.641. Past experience warrants us to expect this increase. In 1790, our number was 3,927,827. Supposing it to have increased each decade in the ratio of 13 per cent, it would in 1840 have amoun ted to 16,660.250, being more than a half million less than our actual number as shown by the census. With 500 000.000 we should have less. then 150 to the square mile or our whole territory, and but '220 to the square mile for our organized States and Territories. Eng land has 300 to the 'square mile. It does not then seem probable that our progressive in crease will be materially checked within the one hundred years under consideration. At .the end of that period, Canada will probably number at least 20,000,000. If we suppose the period of our country cast and west of the Appalachian and the Rocky mountains, and between the Gulf of Mexico and Canada, and for the country west of the Rocky mountains. Allowing the Oregon Territory 10,000,060 there will be left 250,000,000 for that portion of the American States lying in the basins of the Mobile, Mississippi and St. Lawrence. If to these we add 20,000,000 for Canada, we have 270,000,000 as the probable number that will inhabit the North American valley Ert the end of one hundred years, commencing in 1840. if we suppose one third, or 90.000,000 of this number to reside in the country as cultivators and artesians, there will be 180,000,000 left for the towns, enough to people 300 each con taining a half million. This does not seem as incredible as that the valley of the Nile, scarce ly twelve miles broad,. should have once, as historians tell us, contained 20,000 cities " Bichn cll.

TEETH. Healthy teeth depend mainly on health, di gestion, and on cleanly habits. They must, of course, be confined to the purposes for which they arc designed. If they are employed for the purpose of cracking nuts, biting thread, un screwing needle•cases, or turning the stopper of a smelling-bottle, if the mouth is used as a kind of portable tool-chest, in which a pair of scissors, a knife, a vice, corkscrew, or any oth er instrument may be found at the time of need then serious and irretrievable injury will eventually be done to the enamel of the teeth, which no healthiness of digestion nor cleanli ness of habit will avail to remedy. o:7'We once saw a young man gazing at the 'Nry heavens, with a fin IE7" and a w.. of pis tols in the other.

" Hello, friend can you tell me the way to Reading ?" inquired a Down Easter the other day of a Pennsylvania Dutchman, whom he found hard at work beside the road a few miles from Reading. "0 yaw, I could tell you so Lesser as any body. You must first turn de barn round, de pritch over and brook up stream, den the first house you come to ish my proder Hans' big barn ; dot ish de biggest barn dere ish on dish road : it ish eighteen feet von way, and eigh teen feet back again. My proder Hans thought to thatch it mit shingles, but he sold dem, and shingled mit straw, and clapboard it mit rails : after you go by my proder Hans' big barn, de next house you come to ish a hay stack of corn stalks hilt mit straw, but you must not stop there too. Den you goes along till'you come to tree roads and den you git lost. Den you must git over de fence into a great pig pen mit no fence around it. Den you take the road upon your shoulder, and go down as far as de pritch, den you turn right again. Ven you is comin' back, den you come by a house dat stands right back alongside of a yaller tog.— He runs out and says, pow, • wow, wow, de ouz, and bites a little piece out of your leg, den he runs and shumps into an empty pig-pen dat has four sheep in it. Den you look way upon the hill down in the swamp dere, and sees a pine white house painted red, mit two front doors on de back side : well, tore ish vere my proder Hans live, and he would tell you so bes ser as I could. I don't know." " Wall I swow, by hokec, mister, you are about as intellergent as aynt Jeremy ; but I reckon as •how you don't know her, though she's dumb. But I say yeou, why don't you dig out them pesky weeds, hey ?" " 0, dear me, I hash had very bad luck.— Von or two days next week mine proder Hans' pumpkins broke into my pig patch, and yen I drove dem home, every little pumpkin in de field catch up von little piece of pig in its mouth and den der run through the teifel as if der fence was after dem, and a post tumbled over me, and I'm almost kilt I am." " Whew! dew tell." " Den I tinks 119 how I must take me a vrow, so I goes to Reading, and tells Kattereen if she would take me for worse or Lesser. and she says yaw. So I takes him home, and he eats seven quarts sour krout, and went to bed well enough, but in de morning she shump up tend ! She was a very heavy loss : she weigh more as dree hundred and seventy pounds. Den my little boy take sick and tide. 0! I rather give up tree shillings cash den have dat happen, he was so fat as butter. Den my hens came mit dere ears split, and the hogs all came home mit. nine of dem missin." Apples as Food. With us the value of the apple as an article of food is far underrated. Besides containing largo amount of sugar, mucilage, and other nu trient matter, apples contain vegetable acids. aromatic qualities, which act powerfully in the capacity of refrigerants, tonic and anti septics; and when freely used at season of mellow ripeness they prevent debility, indiges tion, and avert, without doubt, many of the " ills which flesh is heir to." The operators of Cornwall. England, consider ripe apples nearly it's nourishing as bread. and far more so than potatoes. In the year 1801—which was a year of much scarcity—apples, instead of being con verted into cider, were sold to the poor ; and I the laborers asserted that they could " stand their' work" on baked apples without meat : whereas a potato diet required either meat or some other substantial nutriment. The French and Germans use apples extensively, as do the inhabitants of all European nations. The la borers depend upon them na an article of food and frequently make a dinner of sliced apples and bread. There is nl fruit coolced in as many different ways in diit country as apples ; nor is there anyfruit whose value as an article of nutriment is as great, so little appreciated. The Power of an Elephant's Trunk. One has iron apt to consider the steam ham mer—whicli can with one blow exert a force of two tons, and with another break a nut with out' injuring the kernel, as a triumph of human ingenuity ; and so it is; but how insignificent when placed in• comparison with the trunk of an elephant, for not only can the, latter strike a blow of a ton or so, and break an egg or a nut, but it can pick a pin from the floor, or pull down a tree ; project water with the force of a twenty-man power forcing pump, or un cork and drink a bottle of soda water without spilling a drop. 1:: -- Precept is instruction written in the sand —the tide flows over it, and the record is gone.. Example is graven on the rock, and the lesson got is soon lost. 133 A writer of high reputation is often prais ed for his faults, because, in criticising ac knowledged genius, men think it safer to praise than to censure. BOY LOVE. One of the queerest. and funniest things to think of in after life, is " Boy-love." No soon er does a boy acquire a tolerable stature, than ho begins to imagine himself a man, and to apo mannish ways. He catts sidelong glances at tall girls he may • meet, becomes a regular at tendant at church, or meeting ; carries a cane, carries his cane erect, and struts a little in his walk. 'Presently, and how very soon, he falls in love ; yes, falls is the proper word ; because it best indicates his happy, delirious self-abase ment. ,He lives now iu a fairy region, some what collateral to the world, and yet, somehow blended inextricably with it.. He perfumes his hair with fragrant oils, scatters essences over his handkerchief, and desperately shaves and an oints for a beard. Ile quotes poetry in which " love" and " dove" and " heart" and " dart" peculiarly predominate ; and, as he plunges deeper in the delicious labyrinth, fancies him self filled with the divine afflatus, and suddenly breaks into a scarlet rash—of rhyme. He feeds upon the looks of his beloved ; is raised to the seventh heaven if she speaks a pleasant word ; is betrayed into the most astonishing ecstacie& by a smile ; and is plunged into the gloomiest legions of misanthropy by a frown. lie believes himself the most devoted lover in the world. There never was such another. There never will be. Ile is the one great idola ter ! lle is the very type of magnanimity and self-abnegation. Wealth !he despises the grov elling thought. Poverty, with the adorable beloved, he rapturously apostrophizes as the first of all earthly blessings ; and " love in a cottage with Water and a crust," is the beau ideal paridise of dainty delights. Ile declares to himself, with the most solemn emphasis, that he would go through fire and water, undertake a pilgrimage to China or ICamschatlta ; swim storm-tossed oceans ; scale impassable mountains ; and face (legions of bayonets, but for one sweet smile from her dear dear lips. Ife doats upon a flower she has cast away. Ile cherishes her glove—a little worn in the fingers—next his heart. He sighs like a locomotive letting of steam. He scrawls her dear name over quires of foolscap—fitting me dium for his insanity. He scornfully depre cates the attentions of other boys, of his own age ; cuts Peter Tibbets, dead ; because he said that the adorablii Angelina had carroty hair ; and passes Harry Bell contemptuously, for dar ing to compare " that gawky Mary Jane," with his incomparable Angelina. Happy ! happy ! foolish boy-love ; with its hopes and its fears ; its joys and its sorrows its jealousies, its delights ; its raptures and its tortures ; its ecstatic fervors and terrible heart burnings ; its solemn ludicrousness, and its in tensely prosaic termination.—Er. America in the Year 1900. On the 12th of October, 1755, John Adanie, writing to a friend, records the remarkable prediction—remarkable the whole letter must be called, as proceeding from a young man not yet quite twenty—that " our people, according to the exactest computations, will, in another century, become more numerous than England itself." Five years from this—the time desig- Sated in the letter—the prediction will be real ized. In fifty years from this, the city of Now York will contain a population of two millions of souls. A hundred millions of people, will occupy the soil of our extended territory. Re mote deserts, unknown to us, in the solitudes of the West, will be smiling under the culture of happy freemen. Flocks of sheep and herds of cattle will supplant the elk and buffalo:- Natural obstacles to intercourse will be re moved ; the Rocky Mountains will be tunnell ed, and the two oceans will meet together.— The banks of our rivers and the shores of our lakes Will shine with opulent cities ; commerce will whiten our waters : agriculture cover a continent with wheat and corn, and places now unknown to civilized man will resound with all the hum and stir of busy life. The school house and the church, those engines and hopes of freemen, will be reared fast as the forest drops before the march of enterprise. The churches which we are now planting on our frontics will then be strong and able to repro duce and return the benefits they have receiv ed, farther and farther onward, and the ruis- Si mary labors commenced in this generation, in the hearts of paganism, devolopo we know not what results. Our thoughts run forward to meet the men who shall stand in our pulpits to preach the gospel of Christ on the first Sabbath of the next century. We welcome them, ere yet they may be born, to the unspeakable privilege of living in such an epoch of time. We who write and read, now in adult life, will talco no part on tho earth in the worship of that day. Our child ren, now in the bud and promise of life, will be in our places with heads silvered with the honors of age. On the morning of that Sabbath, the familiar hymns which we now sing in our houses and sanctuaries, will be begun in the crowded cities of our sea-board, repeated by millions of a re• ligious people in towns and cities through our extended, interior, rolled onward with the pro gress of the hours farther and farther' to the West, till; with the sitting of the sun, they die away amid the soft murmurs of thiPacillc.— Tho islands of the sea will catch the strain and as morning breaks again on the orient, there will be multitudes in swarthy India to re-echo the praise, and roll it onward again around the . world. The day of universal jubilee will surely come. Evdry year bears the world nearer to its promised Sabbath. Generations pass froth the earth, but time does not stop.--Dr.. Admits.
