Ecening setting ofthc sun is wclcom-

when he sets. Labor lays down his burden,
and Sleep visits the children of SORROW. No
moon hearlds or accompanies his rising; and
the star, his companion at night he speedily

Dcah.-Iii is a dreadful sight to see old
men making more provision to live than pre-
paration to die: for the steel being spent the
knife cannot cut, the sun being set the day
cannot tarry, and old age being come life can
not long endure Though thou maycst have
been nearer death in thine own apprehension,
than thou art now; yet it Is certain death was
never as near to thee as now. Death never
comes without n warrant, though !, often
comes without warning. When saint
dies he leaves all his bad behind, and carries
all his good with him. but when a sinner dies
he leaves all bIs good, aud carries all his bad.
Time and tide stay for no man. lie that
drives away time spurs free horse.
We need no pastime TO consume that day,
Which, without pastmc, flies too fast away.
To spend time in triilcs is like Ncro's
shooing horses with gold. Give away Thy
purse rather than thy time of all prodigaiily
that of time is the worst. Time past cannot
be recalled, nor time to come assured; there
fore improve time present, that only is in thy
power Tomorrow. lis period no where
TO be found in all the hoary registers OF 'inc,
unless perchancc in the FOOLS calendar To
morrow lis sharper that stakes his pcnury
against thy plenty; that takes thy ready cash,
and paws thee nought but wishes, hopes, and
