A FEW QUOTATIONS.

Sir,—ln the first place I. would like to quote, but that they are too lengthy, the roports of various union officials as to'tho state' of till e labour 'market, the shipping returns, the building returns, and other iigures which have appeared in yoar columns, and . with which your readers are familiar. It, must suffice to recall them.

'Dion : "I am starving, and my child is dying. For God's sake, can yon help me?" These'awful words are from a bona fido working man; Tlien: "I am not awaro-that there has been any great troublo with the workers. My own impression has been that the labour market has brightened up a bit." : oame to pass at noon that Elijah mocked them and said, 'Cry aloud, for lie is a god; either ho is talking, or he is pursuing, or lis is in a journoy, or/peradventure he sleepeth and must bo awaked.' And they oricd aloud, and cut themselves after their mannor with knives and lancets, till tho blood jgushed out upon them.'.-ApdAit camo to midday was past', Jad''they prophesied until tho time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that, there . was:, neither voice; nor 'any that answered/nor-any .thatregarded." The difference between Baal whon bidding :for officii and Baal;its.occupant surely surpasses anything in our history;—I 'am, etc.' : ELIJAH. May 28.
