A Cure for Weather-Growling

"What awful weather!" says one, with a snarl in his voice. "Terrible!" says another, "rain, snow, or blow all the time, and I don't see as we shall have summer or anything else! What do they mean? They would doubtless be shocked if they but for a moment considered that they found fault with an all-wise Providence. If half the breath spent in weather-growling was employed in finding fault with and correcting our own shortcomings we fancy that very soon we would not entertain the least disposition to fault-finding. Try it; and every time you feel inclined to growl at that which you cannot control, commence a tirade against your disagreeable temper. Depend upon it, it will prove a sure cure.
