ranged, and its functions interrupted.
The steam engine, constructed as it is of
the lmrdestnnd most durable materials, will
run but a few months without some of its es-
sential parts being worn or disabled, even
though its action be frequently discontinued.
But the animal machine, though constructed
for the most part of the softest and most
flabby substances, can go on without inter-
mission in all its-diversified movement: by
night and by day for the space of eighty or
one hundred years, the heart giving ninety-
six 4housnn<l strokes every twenty-four
hours, and the whole mass of blood rushing
through a thousand pipes of all sizes every
four minutrs.
It is not wry generally known what an
immense :mmunt of labor is performed by
the various organs and parts of our body in
every yt'aruf our short lives We have
made some estimates relative to this point,
and will present the odd results for the ben-
cfit of those who seldom think upon the
subject.
()ur heart at each succcmivc pulse or con-
traction, by which it protrudes the blood out
of tllonrlerics into the veins, exerts a force
of one hundred thousand pounds. It con-
tracts four thousand times an hour, and in
one day seven hundred and fifty gallons,
or [\vvnly-lhrce and 3 half barrels, of blood
pass through its cavity, and at this rate up-
wards of eighth thousand, five hundred and
suvvuly-scvcn barrels in one year. This
quantity seems cuonnous The idea of over
eight thousand barrels of blood passing
through this little organ in this time. and it
capable of holding only about two ounces at
one time. ;Il seems almost incredible, but
then there are many incredible truths in
our strange existence, and “ figures very scl-
(lom lie."
Our liver sot-roles three burn-ls and one.
filth of bile, salivary glands, four barrels of
spitllc, stomach, five barrels of gastric juice,
and our kidneys upwards of eight barrels of
their secretions in one year. There passes
06 through the skin, by means of twenty-
-lnL-a . a . o..|_-—-.u -L....~
barrels or more of water in the-form of in-
scnsible perspiration, and about the same
quantity by the lungs through the breath.
In addition to this there are the secretions of
various other organs and glands of the body
in proportionate quantities, which in itself
cannot be less than lwo barrels at u very
moderate estimate. Making an aggregate of
' the whole, we find that there _are about sev-
en hundred and seventy-six gallons, 0! ncur‘
ly twenty-five barrels, of liquids of various
kinds discharged from our body by its. vari-
ous cmuuctorics in one year.
These calculations, based u;ou inclsgatll-
cred by the researches of our physiologists,
bring to light the huge amount of labor these
fragile organs of ours are capable of per-
forming. But there are other curiosities in
our economy, and we will pass on to them.
There are four hundred and forty-six dif-
fcrent muscles two hundred and forty-five
bones (sixty of which are in the hands), and
upwards of three hundred ligaments in the
human body. Each muscle acts in at least
ten different capacities, that is. it has ten dif-
ferent intentions or qualifications to serve;
each bone has been calibrated to have forty.
Taking these together, we find that the mus-
cles and bones alone have upwards of four—
teen thousand different adaptations or inten-
tions. If we were to attend to the many
thousand ligaments, tendons, membranes,
humors, fluids of various description, the
skin with its milliomof porcs,and every oth-
er part of the organics] system, we would
have another sum of many hundreds of mil-
lions to be multiplied by the former product
in order toexpress the diversified ideas which
enter into the construction of our wondrous
body.
One hundred and three muscles are brought
into use every time we breathe, and the com
bined force of these muscles in accomplish-
ing this act has been estimated at three
thousand pounds at each inspiration. As
regards the attend: ofthe other muscles of
our body, Dr. Dicks says that “ when a man
lifts up with his teeth a weight of two hun-
dred pounds with a rope fastened to the jaw
teeth, the muscles named the unwell: and
the W, with which people chew, and
which to perform this work,_ exert a force of
above fifteen thousand pounds. H a

Kieked by a Male.
Jake .ldinson had a mule. There was
nothing cmarknblc in the mere fact of his
being the possessor of such an animal, but
there wm something peculiar about this
mule. il:—-the animal—could kick higher,
bit harder on the slightest provocation, and
act uglier than any other mule on record.
Que naming, riding his property to mar-
ket, Jake met Jim Boggs, against whom he
had an old but concealed grudge. He knew
Buggs‘s weakness lay in bragging and bet-
ting ; therefore he saluted him accordingly
—“liow are you Jim? Fine morning.“
“ llcarty, squire," replied Jim. “ Fill
weather, Nice mule that you have. Will he
do to bet on?"
“ Bet on? Guess he will do that. I tell
you, Jim Iloggs, he's the best mule in this
country."
“ (in-at smash!
Jim.
“ Solid lrutll, every word of ii. Tell you
confidentially. Jim, I am taking him down
for betting purposes. l but be can kick a
fly off from any man without its hurting
him." -
“ Now look here, squire,“ said Jim, “ I am
not a betting character, but 1'" bet you some-
thing on that myself."
“Jun room‘s no use; don‘t bet.
want to Will your money.
“ Don't be alarmed, squire;
bets as them every time."
“ Well, if you are determined to bet,l will
risk a small stake—say five dollara"
" All right, squire, you‘re my man. But
who‘ll he kick the fly off? There is no one
here but you and I. You try it."
“ No," says Johnson, “I have to be by
the mulc‘s head, to order him."
“ 0h! yaas," says Jim, “ then probably I
am the man. iVa‘li, I'll do it; but you are
to bet ten against my five, if I risk it."
“ All right," quotb the squire, “ there is a
fly on your shoulder. Stand still." And
Johnson adjusted the male.
“ Whist, Jeevy l" said he.
The mule raised his heels with such ve-
locity and force that Boggs rose in the air
likes bird, and alighted on all fours in a
muddy ditch, hang up against a rail fence.
Rising, in a towering rage he exclaimed—-
“ Yaas, that is smart! I knew your darned
mule couldn’t do it. You had all that put
up. I wouldn‘t be kicked like that for fifty
dollars. You can just fork over them ere
stakes for it, any way."
“ Not so fast, Jim. Jeevey did just what
I said hecould do; that k. kick afiy off a
man without its hurting him. You see the
mule is not injured by the operation. How-
ever, if you are not satisfied, we‘ll try it
again as often as you wish."
“ The deuce take you," growled Jim, “I’d
ratherhaveaharnfall on me atoncethsa
that critter kick me again. Keq: the stakes;
but say nothing about it."
And .Bogga went ofi'in bitterness of soul,
murmuring to himself—“ Sold, by thunder l
and kicked by a mule."

Said my chosen one, “ Joshua, I am afraid

Said I, “ That‘s so—bic-my dear, I don't
seldom find you 'nangel in-—in anything."
“ And," she added, “ you are not always
the most pleasant man in the world.”
I did not feel called on to reply.
“ Now," said she, “ read‘ that.“
