TO-DAY'S QUOTATION.
THE POLITICAL LULL. We. of ten see, against some etonn, A silenco' in' tho heavens, tho rack stand still, The bold wind speechless, and the orb below ' As hush as death. —Shakespeare "Hamlet," 11., 2. THOUGHT FOR" THE DAY. You must remember that -we •vero never meant to enjoy quiet " lives. Quiet lives are for beings of a higher or lower nature than man's; for beatified spirits or the brute creation. It is tho business of man, and most of the noblest men,- to work, to strugelo, and to strive.- Life is a ■ battle, not a feast, and those conditions of existence are the best and most wholesome which must tend to . strengthen and harden us for tho combat. ~■■'•■ -rJohn Robert Godley, in farewell -address.
