  HEART, n.  An automatic, muscular blood-pump.  Figuratively, this
  useful organ is said to be the esat of emotions and sentiments -- a
  very pretty fancy which, however, is nothing but a survival of a once
  universal belief.  It is now known that the sentiments and emotions
  reside in the stomach, being evolved from food by chemical action of
  the gastric fluid.  The exact process by which a beefsteak becomes a
  feeling -- tender or not, according to the age of the animal from
  which it was cut; the successive stages of elaboration through which a
  caviar sandwich is transmuted to a quaint fancy and reappears as a
  pungent epigram; the marvelous functional methods of converting a
  hard-boiled egg into religious contrition, or a cream-puff into a sigh
  of sensibility -- these things have been patiently ascertained by M.
  Pasteur, and by him expounded with convincing lucidity.  (See, also,
  my monograph, _The Essential Identity of the Spiritual Affections and
  Certain Intestinal Gases Freed in Digestion_ -- 4to, 687 pp.)  In a
  scientific work entitled, I believe, _Delectatio Demonorum_ (John
  Camden Hotton, London, 1873) this view of the sentiments receives a
  striking illustration; and for further light consult Professor Dam's
  famous treatise on _Love as a Product of Alimentary Maceration_.

  Heart
     According to the Bible, the heart is the centre not only of
     spiritual activity, but of all the operations of human life.
     "Heart" and "soul" are often used interchangeably (Deut. 6:5;
     26:16; comp. Matt. 22:37; Mark 12:30, 33), but this is not
     generally the case.
     
       The heart is the "home of the personal life," and hence a man
     is designated, according to his heart, wise (1 Kings 3:12,
     etc.), pure (Ps. 24:4; Matt. 5:8, etc.), upright and righteous
     (Gen. 20:5, 6; Ps. 11:2; 78:72), pious and good (Luke 8:15),
     etc. In these and such passages the word "soul" could not be
     substituted for "heart."
     
       The heart is also the seat of the conscience (Rom. 2:15). It
     is naturally wicked (Gen. 8:21), and hence it contaminates the
     whole life and character (Matt. 12:34; 15:18; comp. Eccl. 8:11;
     Ps. 73:7). Hence the heart must be changed, regenerated (Ezek.
     36:26; 11:19; Ps. 51:10-14), before a man can willingly obey
     God.
     
       The process of salvation begins in the heart by the believing
     reception of the testimony of God, while the rejection of that
     testimony hardens the heart (Ps. 95:8; Prov. 28:14; 2 Chr.
     36:13). "Hardness of heart evidences itself by light views of
     sin; partial acknowledgment and confession of it; pride and
     conceit; ingratitude; unconcern about the word and ordinances of
     God; inattention to divine providences; stifling convictions of
     conscience; shunning reproof; presumption, and general ignorance
     of divine things."

     1. (Anat.) A hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting
        rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              Why does my blood thus muster to my heart! --Shak.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: In adult mammals and birds, the heart is
           four-chambered, the right auricle and ventricle being
           completely separated from the left auricle and
           ventricle; and the blood flows from the systemic veins
           to the right auricle, thence to the right ventricle,
           from which it is forced to the lungs, then returned to
           the left auricle, thence passes to the left ventricle,
           from which it is driven into the systemic arteries. See
           Illust. under Aorta. In fishes there are but one
           auricle and one ventricle, the blood being pumped from
           the ventricle through the gills to the system, and
           thence returned to the auricle. In most amphibians and
           reptiles, the separation of the auricles is partial or
           complete, and in reptiles the ventricles also are
           separated more or less completely. The so-called lymph
           hearts, found in many amphibians, reptiles, and birds,
           are contractile sacs, which pump the lymph into the
           veins.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     2. The seat of the affections or sensibilities, collectively
        or separately, as love, hate, joy, grief, courage, and the
        like; rarely, the seat of the understanding or will; --
        usually in a good sense, when no epithet is expressed; the
        better or lovelier part of our nature; the spring of all
        our actions and purposes; the seat of moral life and
        character; the moral affections and character itself; the
        individual disposition and character; as, a good, tender,
        loving, bad, hard, or selfish heart.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              Hearts are dust, hearts' loves remain. --Emerson.

     3. The nearest the middle or center; the part most hidden and
        within; the inmost or most essential part of any body or

        the chief or vital portion; the center of activity, or of

     5. Vigorous and efficient activity; power of fertile
        production; condition of the soil, whether good or bad.

                                                    --Dryden.
        [1913 Webster]

     9. A term of affectionate or kindly and familiar address. ``I
        speak to thee, my heart.'' --Shak.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Heart is used in many compounds, the most of which need
           no special explanation; as, heart-appalling,
           heart-breaking, heart-cheering, heart-chilled,
           heart-expanding, heart-free, heart-hardened,
