Tns hour-glass and Truss - Coming hastily into a chamber, I had almost thrown down a er stal hour glass; fear, lest I had, made me grieve, asi I had ken it; but, alas! How much precious time have I cast away without any regret! The hour-glass was but crystal - each hour, a pearl; that, but like to be bro ken - this, lost outright; that, but casually - this, done wilful] A better hour-glass might be bought; but time, Let once, lost ever. Thus we grieve more for toys than for treasure. Lord, give me an hour-glass, not to be by me, but to be in me. Teach me to num ber my days: an hour-glass to turn me, that I may turn my heart to wisdom. - Fuller's Good Thoughts.
