CHAPTER VI.
THE BLESSING OF A BURDEN.
"Then welcome each rebuff, That turns earth's smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand nor go.
Be our joys three parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the strain; Learn, nor account the pang; dare, never grudge the throe!" -- ROBERT BROWNING.
It is not always the easiest things that are the best things.

Usually we have to pay for any good thing about its full value.

In all markets commodities that cost little may be set down as worth but little.

All our blessings may be rated in the same way.

If they come easily, without great cost of effort or sacrifice, their value to us is not great.
