than the nominal price of some other religious pa

There is one expression in the extract quoted
which we cannot pass over, "quids when re-
duced TO solids generally occupy less space."-
This is not the case with water, and zoophiles
cannot raise foot of coraline rock without ia
king the material from the sea to build il. They
do not make their ormations out of nothing,
therefore the waters of the sea cannot be grow
ing less, unless the corals have discovered way
to change the very nature of water itself, con-
vert it from water into their lime formations
a thing impossible. The coral formations in
crease very slowly. In some of the gaps in the
Australian reefs scarcely perceptible difference
has been discovered in their elevation, for fifty
years. If there are elevations taking place in
one part of the earth, science teaches us that
there must be depressions in some other. BY
the common laws of the Universe, no portions
of any kind of matter are growing less-such as
the drying up of the sea-by any organic or in
organic action. The sea will never dry up until
" the elements shall melt with fervent heat" and
when there shall be no more sea, there will not
be the same kind of inhabitants on the earth, for
our bodies are composed of about 81 parts of
water. Scientific American.

HIDDEN MUSIC.


Deep in my bosom's secret cell,
There ever dwells gladdened tone,
A voice of seraph melody,
To mortal spirits all unknown.
No harp Ger woke so sweet strain
No Tyre eer breathed so glad lay,
As that which in my bosom lone,
Swells in undying harmony.
Storms may not hush that spirit-voice;
Mol mid the tempest's loudest roar
More sweetly flows that hidden strain,
More glad the notes those harp-strings poul
All yes, mid the tolls of life,
Mid agony, and woe, and pain
How sweetly soothing are the tones
That swell within my sad heart then.
dwell on earth wand'rer lone,
Yet life ne'er seemed darksome way;
A lamp is Lit within my soul,
Which ever sheds frightening ray.
No mortal ear may catch that strain,
Or list that thrilling music-tone,
The souls deep chords alone are strung
Are touched by angel-hands alone.
1t is the voice of God that wakes
That gladdened echo in the soul,
And marvel not that human hand
May ne'er the magic power control.
