The papers read before the National

OF much more general interest than
most OF those read on Tuesday.
The morning session WAS devoted to
reading and discussion of two, contri-
buttons upon allied topics. The Basin
OF the Cult Stream" BY Prot. .. =.
Hilgard. and ''Ths Origin OF the Coral
Reefs of the Yucatan and Florida
Banks. by Prot. Alexander iaAEssslz.
Recent surveys under Superintendent
Z. z. Patterson, OF the United States

"i Yucatan about 100 miles broad.
These plateaus show the actual CONT.
mental outline to be very different fron|
the shore lines OF the Gulf. Yrse9as-
siz, In his paper, showedItna these
plateaus, whatever may have been
their primal origin, are very largely
composed OF limestone. formed Of the
osseous carcasses Of submarine life, and
that whereas they had been in this way
built up to the depth at whloh coral
atolls or reefs begin to form, twenty.

Florida Keys and the coral islands
northwest OF Yucatan, coral atolls exac-
ly similar to those in the Pacific decrib-
ed by Darwin were found. But OAR
win had explained the Pacigc atells by
gradual, general subsistence of the
bed of the ocean, and his theory was
that all reel formations were accompa.
nied by subsistence. Here in the gulf
the formation accompanies an eleva.
ton, and as similar platsaus are found
in the coral regions of the Paclfio, it IL
concluded that Darwin was all wrong
aud that coral reef formations accompa-
ny elevations OF ocean beds In.
stead of subsistence. During the dis.
cussion the interesting TACT was devel-
oped that the guilt stream SO called
does not come from the gulf. ~ 10 rep

through the Caribbean Sea from the
African coast, is turned northeast upon

not connected with this great stream
and are very slow. The mouths Of the
Mississippi have already projected 50

THE UNIVERSAL PRAYER.
By ALEXANDER POPE.

Father Of all in every age,
In every cline adOrsd,
By saint, by savage, and by sage,
Jehovah, Jove, or Lord
Thou great First Cause, least understood
Who all my sense confined
To know but this, that thou art good,
And that myself am blind;
Yet gave me, in this dark estate.
To see the good from ill;
And, binding nature last in fate,
Left lrSs the human will;
What conscience dictates to be done,
Or warns me not to do,
This, teach me more than hell to shun,
That, more than heaven pursue
What blessings thy FREQ bounty give
Let me not cast away;
For God is paid when man receives,
To enjoy Is to obey.
Thy goodness let me bound.
Or think thee Lord alone of man,
When Thousand worlds Are round
Let not this weak, unknowing hand
Presume thy bolts to throw,
And deal damn alton round the land
On each judge thy ioe.
II am right. thy grace lmpart
Still In the right to stay;
II am wrong, o, teach nv heart
To find that better way
Save me alike from foolish pride,
Or impious discomfort,
Al anSht thy wisdom has denied,
Or aught thy goodness lent.
Teach me to feel anether's woe.
To hide the fault see;
That mercy l to others show,
That mercy show to me.
Mean though l am. not wholly SO,
Since quickened by thy breath;
U, lead Inc wheresoe' er 20.
Through this days life or death
This day be bread and peace my lot;
All else beneath the sun,
Thou know'st il best bestowed or moi,
And let thy will be done.
To thee, whose temple is all space.
Whese altar, earth, sea, skies
one chorus let all Being raise
All Natures incense rise

DEATH Of the OLD YEAR

Toll ye the church bell sad ana slow,

He will not see the dawn of day;
He hath no other life above.
He gave me a friend and a true, true-love,
And the old year will take EN- away.
Old year, you must not go;
So lsng as yeu have been with US.
Such joy as you have seen with Us.
Old year, you shall not CO..

He was . friend to me.
Old year, you shall not die;
We did so laugh and CRY with ysu,
I've half mind to die with ysu,
Old year, yeu must not die.
He was full of joke and jest,
But all his merry Quips are o'sr,
To see him die across the waste,
His son and heir doth ride post haste,
But he'll be dead before.
Every one for his own.
