At this sweet hour I'o.ul lovers' vows

Calhoun was so far superior to his cotemporarics,
that they were unable to com prebend
his political theories, or bin profound
analysis of the numerical and concurrent
mnjoritic3,which enter into the constitutional
governments. If it be asked, where
arc the proofs of their genius? AVe reply
that the system of government which was !
organized and inaugurated by Jefferson, |
jiuu which continued to no the policy ot his
parti/.nns down to 1814, is sufficient proof,
for lie overthrew the project of consolida- '
ting the government, which had been introduced
l?y John Adams and the Federalists,
and placed tho general or federal
government on the republican track, with a
strict construction of the Constitution of
the United States for its mainspring of acA:

nun. i ins was rcauy organizing a perfectly
original system of government, and is
therefore to lie numbered among the works
of genius.
And about equal praise is due to Mr.
Calhoun. lie perceived, on his accession
to the Senate, in I^JkJ, that the government
had strayed from the straight path, that it j
nau wandered front tlic track which had
boon established by Mr. Jefferson, and that
our FodeVal Union was fast tending to a
consolidation of tho State and Federal Governments,
that a great bank had been chartered,
which was corrupting the morals of
the people; that a vast system o internal
improvements was projected, rcq.iiriug immense
treasures for its prosecution; and1
that, to acquire this sum, a tariff of pro- I
teetion, not of revenue, liatl been created, j
by which the people of one portion of the ;
Union had been taxed for the benefit of I
another. lie declared war against these j
measures, and defeated them all, in a so- !
lies of intellectual combats that have had :
no parallel in the history of parliamentary '
discussion. The first foe that fell was the |
protective tariIV, by the compromise bill of
1883; then the United States Bank went

If the purchase of Louisiana was due to

What is Blood.
Thousands of our readers, doubtless, hnvo
soon a person bled. They have probably
observed, afterwards, that it divides into a

which is called coagulation. Thoy havohccn
told that, though the abstraction of a few
ounces is not very injurious, nay, is by many
contudercd useful in cnecsof fovers, tho loss
of any considerable portion is followed by
death. But hove thoir observations, porhaps
their curiosity, have ceased.
Yet there ave many who may have often
woiulercU what this blooil can bo, which in
so necessary to existence. What are its constituents?
In whet way is it so indispensable
to life? How much is there in a human
hotly ? Is there much waste, and if so, how
is the waste repaired ? Is the blood all alike?
Is the blood of a horse, do^;. or other mere
animal, similar to that or a man ? "Wo shall
answer these questions in ordor, beginning
with the last.

different from that of uuy other auini.il ; and
the blood of one animal differs from that of j
unother. The blood of a horse is poison in
the veins of a dog. The blood of a sheep,
transferred into a eat, kills the cat. The
blond of any animal, e::o"pt one of its own
I species, ft.rccd into the veins of a man, brings
1 on paralysis and death. Scionee has analyzed
wherein the blood of one animal varies
I from that of another, and lias shown tlnit
| what experiment linn revealed, can also be
[ demonstrated physiogically.
Even in the same animal there are two
kinds of blood, one called arterial, which
rushes from the heart, and the other venoas,
which pours into the heart. The first Ik
bright scarlet, the last purple. The first
passes into smaller and smaller vessels, till
it reaches sonic under the skin, a thousand
times finer than the finest needle's point: the
last flows from small into into larger channels

the heart. Tho arterial blood is pure; tho
venous full of wasted tissues. Tho office of
tho lungs U to cleanse the vonous blood.which
is then thrown back into the heart, and afterwards
propelled throughout the body. Thus,
it will 1)0 seen, a continual waste and repair
j goes on in the human body, of which waste
and repair the blood is the instrument. It
j has been estimated that, in the course of a
j year, tho arteries carry to the various tissues
j not less than three thousand pounds weight

from the hitter, us many thousand pounds
weight of wasted tissues. Both arterial and
venous hlood contain oxygon and carbonic
gas, the popular notion to the contrary notwithstanding;
but arterial blood contains
much the larger proportion ofoxygen. .n their
constituent.-*, the gases excepted, there is but
little difference between arterial and venous
blood.
In iv man of avcra^o weight, the ouantitv
of blood is about ton pounds. How much of
this can bo oxtraetcd, without emitting loss of
life, it is difficult always to toll. In tho medical
books there is a statement of a hysterical I
woman, who was bleil one thousand and |
twenty times in nineteen years. A young i
man, according to Ilaller, was bled seven
pounds and a half* daily for ten da\s, and '
yet survived?a story almost incredible. The
chief constituent of blood is water, which
forms nearly one-eighth of the whole. Albu
men '*ners into its composition in tho pro- !
portion sf seventy parts to a thousand. Sugar,
salts, fat and cell matter compose the
remainder, the last in the proportion of one
hundred and thirty parts to a thousand.
These colls or discs, as other* call them,
are tlio most curious part of the blood. It
would be idle to enter into nn explanation of
their composition, as scientific men themselves
are not agreed upon the subject. Nor is it
possimc, in me present singoot (minim know I I
edge, to tell how blood sustains life, except
as an instrument anil vehicle to carry on the
repair, and remove tie waste, which are indispensable
to existence.?Philadelphia Ledger.
