THE BLOOD.
Iilackwood's Maga.ine for June con
tains a paper upon tin; life-current of the
htiinaii system, embodying many tacts,
j which, however familiar to anthropoid"
gists, may he instructive to the common
I 'tiind. Ve iptote some of the most inter
I esting statements made by the uulhor of
tho contribution in iicstion :
I The blood is described as a torrent im
petuously rushing through every part of
; the bodv, cal l led by an elaborate
net-
work of ve-.-els, which, in tho course of
two. ve months, convey to the various lis-
sues not le.-s than three thousand pounds
weight of nutritive material, and convey
from the various tissues not less than
three thousand pounds of waste. At eve
ry moment of our lives there is nearly '.en
pounds of this fluid rushing in one contin

New oik in a day or two, and then he
should relate his story to the ow neisof the
Margaret Tyson, lie seemed to have a
superstit.on.s idea that he should get into
trouble if lie gave a full account of the
matter. This, perhaps may have been
owing to the tact that lie is cither foolish
uid lias bei n iu.-lruclcd by some of tiie
crew of the A.cr to say le ihing about it,
or from gocrci motive of his own. On
learning that i statencnt was wanted from
Kennedy, several of the crew took him
one side, and so far as could be ascertain
ed, told him in Portuguese, French,
I'titch, und Hottentot, to keep "mum,"
and after that, he for a time was almost as
silent as a Sphinx. Ild ho.vever became
more communicative after sulticient coax
ing, and said'that he shipped in New York,
in the Margaret Tyson, it being his tir.-t
long voyage. lie hud been on short coast
ing voyages, however, previous, shippit.g
at New York, lie believes ho was
born in San Francisco, although he
does tint seem to have any definite idea in
regaid to the matter. lie thinks the Ty
son was about twenty days out, when u
tremendous galo sprung up on u Saturday
night, in the course of'whii.h the ship was
thrown on her beam ends und lay in that
position for some hours, until finally she
went down. As the vessolsaiik, the ship's
hoti-o was wrenched from the deck, and
left flouting on tho water. Kennedy swam
to reach this porti n of tin w red; und l.oi-t
himself upon it, where he found two ol
the crew, and was shortly after joined by
tivo more. He cannot remember their
names. Ho was unable to say how many
days he was upon the wreck, but seemed
to have an idea that he was theie seven
teen diiys. His companions were either
washed ovcrlMiard or died before ho win
picked up. He states that the weather
was, -i portion of the time,- very cold, and
at other times quite warm. He remem
bers that ho caught a fish one or twice,
and also nt .different times a little fresh
water in his hands when it rained. When
the last man died ho cut a piece of flesh
from his leg and ate it. Ile was not whol
ly insensible at the time he was picktd up
by the Oread, us he states that he remem
bers seeing the ship swing too nnd haul
him on hoard. After that he was for a
time unconcious as to what passed. One
of the crew of the Oread told a seaman on
hoard the Azor that when Kennedy was
picked up ho was a horrid object to look
upon, having been reduced to meie skin
and bones, and it was thought that he
would not live through the day, n hen ho
was nicked tip. He was however care
Iv attended to until the Oread arrived in
Fayul, where ho was lodged in tho hospi
tal. Ho seems nt present to have entirely
recovered from his exposure, ar.d is in ex-

A Tiger at Sea.
A somewhat extrnordinary adventure
was met w till a few days ago near Muilky
which is about 'JO miles North of Mangui
lore, on the const. Some fisherman, start
ing out very early in the morning, while
it was dark, with their hooks and lish
spears in their boats, remarked something

und with the oth-

nnd tiger di-appearccl together, al least
none of the others saw more of them.
They were nil shot out by theenpsizingof
tho bout, and it was some litfe timo before
they were picked up by the other boats"
That evening the tiger's body was washed
up by the waves dead, and the next morn
ing the poor man's corpse, with the unmis
takable claw marks on (he hack of his
ik ok. Tho others escaped unscathed,
with the exception ofan awkward blow on
tho ankle which one got from (he boat.
What possessed the tiger to go out for a
cruise in (his fashion, does not appear.

'As I was passing through Str.nlha'd
one morning, I saw the master of the vil
lage school mustering his scholars, to

the old man, and said "You sevm to have
a nuinberof lads here ; shall you rai-e alio

"Why, (replied tho muster,) I have a
Shakespeare now in the school." I knew
that Shakespeare had no'descendants be
yond tho second generation, and I was not
uware that there was any of his family re

in his will, yet exists, part under her mar

family in Stratford of the name of Smith."
"I have a Shakespeare, (said the muster,
with evident pride and pleasure.) Here,
boys, here." ilo quickly mustered his
huldish troop in a row, and said to me,
"Thero you, now, sir, can you tell me
which is Shakespeare?" 1 glanced my

CHARITY.
The best chnrily is liot that which
giveth alms, whether secretly or with os-
Mentation. Ihe best charity which
'workcth no evil" is tho charity, which
prompts us to think nnd speak well of our
neighbors. Even if they be openly con
demned, and that with warrant, it is a no-
blo charity in us nil not to gall their
wounds by mill (inly ing knowledge
0r
Iheir offences. We are all ashamed to
confess that our quickest instincts, nre to
think ill ol others, or to ninanily tho ill
of which wo hear. Thero is a universal !
shrugging of the shoulders, as much as to

sav .well, I expected as much it is just
liko him 1 had mv suspicions ot her "1
could a talc unfold ;" nnd thus on thro'
nn endless chapter, with which every rea
der w ill be somewhat familiar ; from his
or her own experience. Now one who
fays, "I could a talo unfold," yet holds it
back, leaving the lienrer to infer tiny and
every evil, stuns character vmn tno moan
est, deadliest blow. Yet who is there thnt I
curries not this ever ready weapon this !
poisoned dagger! I ho chanty that gives
to help, and not humiliate, is good, but
the churtity that makes uV'think no evil,"
is better. Let u seek to possess this char
ity, nnd prnctico it, for it alone, is the
"charity that covercth a lr.'.iliitudo of
sins."
