TO-DAY'S QUOTATIONS.
OUR BAD WEATHER. What I'will the line stretch out to the crack of doom? Shakespeare—"Macbeth," iv., i.
THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
' .* " Tell mc not of the trim, preciselyarranged homes where there are no ■children j "where," as the good „.' ' Germans have it. "the fly-traps always hang straight on the wall;" /. toll mc not of the never-disturbed -. ' nights-and days, of the tranquil " unanxious hearts where children are - * not! I care not for these things. . God sends children for another pur- - pose than merely to keep up the race—to enlarge our hearts, to , make us unselfish, and full of ■' ' kindly sympathies and affections', „ to give our souls higher aims, and * to call out all our faculties to extended enterprise and exertion: to - ■ "bring round our fireside bright i ' faces and happy smiles, and loving, tendar hearts. My soul blesses the. Groat Father every day, that He ■ ' . has tOaddenod the earth with little ,* ■ children. ■ ' " • —Mary Howitt.
