Our Casket.

“A little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts and almonds.” Gen. 43:11.
—THE worst of crosses is never to have had any.
—GOD comes to see us, or to look upon us, without a bell.
—BEGIN your web, and God will supply you with thread.
—A CRIPPLE on the right road will beat a racer on the wrong.
—PRAYER brings down the first blessing, and praise the second.
—IT is rough to be poor, but to be ashamed of it is putting salt on a sore.
—GOD has often a great share in a little house, and but little share in a great one.
—WE waste our time in moments, our money in dimes, and our happiness in trifles.
—SYSTEMATIZE your business, and keep an eye on little expenses. Small leaks sink great ships.
—LET nothing foul or indecent, either to the eye or the ear, enter those doors where youth dwells.
—ABSENCE destroys small passions and increases great ones, as wind blows out tapers and kindles fires.
—NEVER reflect on a past action which was done with a good motive and the best judgment at the time.
—FORBEARANCE is a domestic jewel, not to be worn for state or show, but for daily and unostentatious ornament.
—SHE who does not make her family comfortable will herself never be happy at home; and she who is not happy at home will never be happy anywhere.—Addison.
—“Piety,” remarked an Arkansas preacher to his congregation the other day, “does not consist in noise. The Lord can see you give to the needy just as easy as he can hear you pray the roof off.”
—THE Glasgow Times says, that when a preacher goes astray, men who have been all their years of manhood covered with the same slime of wickedness, will roll their hypocritical eyes and swear that preachers are the worst men in the world.
