THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.
« ■ Ye men of gloom aud austerity, who -i-iint tho faco of Infinite Benevolence with an external frown, read in tho everlasting book, wido open to your view, tho lesson it would teach. Its pictures are not in black and sombre lines, but bright and glowing tints; its music —save when ye drown it —is not in siizhs find groans, but songs nnd cheerful sounds. Listen to a million voices in the .summer air and find ono dismal as your own. —Charles Dickens.
