THE BLOOD.

Blackwoods Magazine for June con.
tains paper upon the liie-current of the
human system, embodyiug many facts,
which, however familiar to anthropolo-
gists, may be instructive to the common
mind. We quote some of the most inter-
csting statements made 10y the author OF
the contribution in question:
The blood is described as torrent inn
petuously rushing through every part OF
the body, carried by an elaborate net
work of vessels, which, in the course OF
twelve months. convey to the various It's
sues not less than three thousand pounds
weight of nutritive material, and convey
from the various tissues not less than
three thousand pounds Of waste. At eve
~ moment of our lives there is nearly zen
pounds of this fluid rushing in one contin-
uous throbbing stream, from the heart
through the great arteries which spread
and branch like tree, the vessels becom-
ing smaller and smaller as they subdivide,
till they are vanished to the naked eye,ard
they are called capill0ries. (hairslike ves-
sells although they are no more to be
compared in callibre with hairs than hairs
are with cables. The vessels form net
work finer than the finest lace-so fine in
deed, that if we pierce the surface at all
most any part with the point of a needle,
we open one ofthem and let out the blood.
In these vessels the blood Yields some OF its

change some of the wasted products of It's.

The United States Navy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l5.-There are at
present nine naval vessels employed on
foreign stations without regular pursers,
namely sloop Ofwar Falmouth, storesmps
Release and Relief steamer Waterwitch,
briggs Perry, Bainbridge, and Dolphin and
Schooner Fennimore Cooper In addition
to this number there are five chartered
steamers and one revenue cutter steamer
attached to the Paraguay expedition, which
have no pursers on board, namely: steam
ers Southern Star, Atlanta, Caledonia
Metacomet, NJ. w. Chaplin and Harriet
Lane, for which pursers on board Of other
vessels are acting and for which they can
receive no additional compensation.
The department was unable to assign
purscrs to the above named vessels on ac-
count ofthe insufficient number of officers
belonging to that corps. Sixty four are
her are unemployed. Of these one has
been in the service iorty-nine years, two
more than forty.one years, and one more
than thirty.fve years; one has recent
" been inyalilel from foreign station
and sent to the United States five are old
pursers who have been relieved from du-
tv. There are three pursers who have re-
surned within three months from sea, and
are employed in settling their accounts.
IT has not been the practice OF the de-
par ment, the secretary says, except in
extreme cases, to order old pursers. who
have served in turn in vessels of all claS-
ses. to sea again in small vessel, as, in
view Of their age and past services, it
would Gem contrary to the spirit and in
trution OF the law to require them to pera
form duties in such vessels for which the

vides less compensation than their leave

But I'm going, going, Tn going home.

That ever kissed pebbles, the old cot still
Goes on to decay, as it did that day

But I'm going going, I'm going home.
Soon shall press to my throbbing breast
The friends in childhood so fondly caressed;
My hoortstrings thrill, my oyelids fill,
For love them still
Oh I'm going, going, Tn going home
Oh would that my joy were free from alloy,
Oh would thatno bodings my hopes would destroy
But soon shall know whether Ieal or woo
Betide whore l go
For I'm going, going, I'm going homc.
Kind strangers, adieu-with heart svor truo,
As ouwar go, III still think Of you;
And when lov'd ones meet round the family seat
Your praise I'll re eat
For I'm going, going I'm going home.

CLEARFIEID, Pa WEDNESDAY, JANUARY &C. 1885,

The blood, instead of being red, is of q
.yellowish red color, and has in solution,
many Floating solids" known as blood
discs and corpuscles. These were first dis
covered in 1858, but the first accurate
knowledge of them dates from 1913, ana
is due to Lewemberg The corpuscles are
not numerous in healthy human blood,
and play but secondary part, unless they
are the early stage Of the red dsca.
The constituents Of the blood are stated
to be wate", 7S4 parts out of a thousand (;
aibumen 20, and fibrine 900. The re-
naming elements are chiefly fat contain
ing phosphorus, chloride of potassium OK
ide and phosphate Of iran, with various
other substances. The blood of no two
men is presisely similar the blood of the
same man is not precisely similar in dis
ease to what it was in health, or at differ
ent epochs of life. The iron which circu..
late5 in the veins Of the embryo is more
abundant than the blood in the veins of
the mother and this quantity declines af-
ter birth to augment again at puberty.
The fats vary in different individuals, from
l 3 20 3.3 IN 1000. The blood cells vary
with the varying health. The albumen
hnctuates from 90 to 70 parts in 1000, the
proportion being greater during digestion.
The li5rue usually amounting to about 3
ir lJOO, may arise Us high as !! or fall as
low a. |.
There are two. descriptions of blood in
circulation in every human being g--vanOus
and a"teIial hlood-.hc Iormer being dark
purple, the latter bright scarlet. If ye-
nOu, blood be injected into the arterie,
gong TO the brain, 1t produces syncope
and death. Yet arterIl blood thus inject,
ed will revive an animal suffering from

therefore, a profound difference exists {;
and yet the venous blood has only to pass
through the lungs in an atmosphere not
ovcrcharged with carboDie acid, and at
once it becomes tranformed into Il nutri-
ent sustaining tluid.
Arterial blood is everywhere the same
it is one stream perpetually flowing off in
to smaller streams, but always the same.
guiding its m'nutest lills as in its largest
currents. Not so venous blood. That is
a confluence Of many currents, each one
bringing from il something from the soil
in which it arises the streams issuing out
of the iuscles being substances unlike
those issuing out Of the nervous centres ;
the blood which hurries cut of the intes-
tines contains substances unlike those
which hurry out Of the liver. The waste
of all the organs has to be carried away hy
the vessels ofthe organs. Wondrously does
the complex machine work its many pur.
poses; the roaring loom Of life is never for
n moment still.
The amount of blood in the human
frame is varously stated. five say ten
pounds for an adult healthy man, we shall
probably be as near the mark as possible.
The quantity, however, necessarily varies
in different persons, and seems from some
calculasions to be greater in women than
in men. In the seal its quantity is enor.

CHARITY.

The best charity is not that which
giveth aims, whether secretly or with oss
tentation. The best charity which
"worketh no evil"--is the charity, which
prompts US to think and speak we'll of our
neighbors. Even if they be openly con-
demned, and that with warrant, tits a no.
bic charity in us all not to gall their
wounds by multiplying knowledge of
heir offences. We are all ashamed to
confess that our quickest instincts, are to
think i'll Of others, or to magnify the i'll
Of which we hear. There is a universal
Struggling of the shoulders, as much as to
say-well, expected as much--it is just
like him had my suspicious of her-I
could tale unfold" and thus on thro'
an endless chapter, with which every rea-
der will be somewhat familiar; from his
or her own experience. Now one who
says, 81 could tale unfold" yet holds it
back, leaving the hearer to infer any and
every evil, stabs character with the mean
est, deadliest blow. Yet who is there that
carries not this ever ready weapon--this
poisoned dagger THE charity that gives
to help, and not huniliate, is good, but
the charity that makes us"think no evil," ,"
is better. Let us seek to possess this char
ity, and practice it, for it alone, is the
charity that coveroth a multitude of
sins"

the old man, and said You seem to have
a uumbcgof lads here; shall you raise amos
therShakespcare among them, think you?'
"Why, (repiied the master,) | have a
Shakespeare now in the school," knew
that Shakespeare had no descendants be-
yond the second generation, and was not
aware that there was any of his family reo
naming. But it seems that the posterity
Oi Ibis sister, Joan Hart, who is mentioned
in his will, yet exists, pans under her mar
riage name Of Hart, at Tewkesberry, and
family in Strattord OF the name Of Smith,"
81 have Shakespeare, (said the master,
with evident pride and pleasure.) Here,
boys, here" He quickly mustered his
laddish troop in row, and said to me-
There you, now, sir, can you tell me
which is Shakespeare" ! glanced my
eye along the line, and instantly fixing it
upon one boy, said THAT is Shakespeare"
"You are right, (said the MASTER that is
Shakespeare. The Shakespeare .counten-
anco is there. That is William Shake
speNre Smith, lineal descendant of the po-
cts sister" Mr.. Hewitt adds-"It SCUM
