THE BLOOD. BLACKWOOI4 MAGAZIN . K. for June contains a paper uponsthe life current of the human system, embodying many facts, which, how ever familiar to anthropologists, may bb in structive. to the common mind. We quote some - of the most interesting statements made by thq, author of the contribution in quest ion : ";The blood is described 14 a torrent ina pettiottsly rushing through every part ,o s f the body, carried by an elaborate network of vessels, which, in the course of twelve months, convey to the various tissues not less than three thousand: pounds 'weight of nutritive material, and convey from the va rious tissues not less than three thousand, pouhda waste. At every moment of our lives there are nearly ten pounds of this flu id rushing in one continuotr, throbbing stream,. from the heart through the great ar teries, which branch and branch, like 4 tree, di)/ vessels becomin g smaller as they are sub gvided, till they are invisible to the naked eye, and.then they are called capilaries, (hair like vesselS,) although they are no more to he compared in calibra with hairs than hairs are with cables. The-e vessels form a net work finer than the finest lac6---so fine, \in deed, that if we pierce the surface at almost any part with the point of a needle, we open one of them and let out -its blood. In these vesseli - the blood yieiais some of its ,nutrient material, and receives in exchange some of the wasted products of tissue. Thus -modi fied, the stream continues its rapid course backward to the heart thro ugh a system of veins, which commence in Myriad capillaries that form the termination of the arteries.— The veins, instead of subsiding like the ar teries, become gradually less numerous,their twigs entering branches, and the branches trunks, till they reach the heart. No sooner has the blood poured into the heart from the veins, then it rushes through the lutigs, and t from them back again to the heart and arter., ies, and thus completing the circle of circu lation. This wondrous .stream, ceaselessly .circu lating, occupies the very centre of vital or ganism, midway ,between the functions of nutrition and the functions of excretion, feed ing and stimulating the organs into activity. and removing from sthem all their useless material. In its torrents upwards of`foky different substances are carried along ; ii carries gasses and salts—it even carries met als and soaps. Millions of organized cells float in its liquid ; and of the cells, which -by some are said to die at every pulse of the heart. to be replaced by other millions. Thst. iron which it washes onward can he separat ed. Professor Berrard used to exhibit a lump of it in his lecture room, nay, one •in genious Frenchman has suggested that coins should be struck from the metal extracted from the blood ,ef great men. Let no MY - • suggest that we should wash our hands with -The soap extracted from a similar source. The blood instead of being red, is of a yellowish red,. color., and has, in solution. many " floating solids," known as blood disc, and corpuscles. These 9re first discovered in 1658, but the first accu/ste knowledge of then\ dates from 1673, and is due to Levier) ; burg, The corpuscles are not numerous in healthy human blood, and play but a second ary part unless they are the stage of the red discs. Vonatituents of the blood are stated to be water 761 parts out of a thousand ;-z-- -albumen 70, and fibrme 220. The remain ing elements are chiefly fat, containing phos phorous, iron, with various other substances. The blood of no two men is precisely simi lar, or in disease to what it is in health, or, at different epochs of life. The iron which cir culates in the veins of the ernbryo is more abundant than the iron in the veins of the mother ; and this quantity declines after birth, to augment again at puberty. The fats vary in different individuals from 1.4 to 3 in 1,000. The cells vary with the varying health. The albumen fluctuates from 60 to 70 parts iu 1,000, the proportion being treater during digestion. The fibrine, uvu alty to about 3 in 1,000, may arise to 74, or fall as low as 1. There are two descriptions of blood in cir culation in every human being—venous and arterial blot', the former being dark purple, and the latter bright Jearlet.: -venous blood be injected into ,the arteries going to the -brain, it produces syncope and death.- -Yet-arterial blood thus injected will, revive an animal suffering,from loss of blood. Be , twcen the two fluids, therefore, a profound difference exists; and yet-the venous blood. has only to pass through the lungs in an at mosphere not: overcharged with carbonic ac id, and at once it' becomes transformed into a nutriment; sustaining fluid. - , Arterial blood is everywhere the same; it is one stream perpetually flowing off into smaller streams, but always the same in its minutest rill as in its largest currents. Noot so with venous blood. That is,a confluence of many currents, each one bringnig with it -Something from the soil in which: it arises, the streams issuing.out of nervous centres, the blood which hurried out of the liver.— The waste of the organs has to be Parried away by the vessels of the organs.

By others it has. been confined to the communication of the ele ments of e thought, and the improvement of intellect ; and by a comparatively small num ber it hasbeenyeizarded chiefly as the form ation- of character, and the cultivation' of moral habits.
