WORK IS A GREAT COMFORTER.

Two neighbouring gardeners had the misfortune of having their crop of early peas killed by frost. The one called upon the other to condole with him. “Ah,” cried he, “how unfortunate we have been, neighbour! Do you know? I have done nothing but fret ever since. But it seems you have there a fine healthy crop coming up already; what is it?” “This?” cried the other gardener, “why, it is a crop of peas (S. 16, N. 10) I sowed (S. 48, N. 2) immediately after my loss.” “What, coming up already?” replied the fretter. “Yes, while you were fretting, I was working.” “What! don’t you fret when you have a loss?” “Yes, but I always put it off until after I have repaired the mischief.” “Why, then you have no need to fret at all.” “True,” replied the industrious gardener, “I find working better than fretting.”—ANONYMOUS.
