"And yet," as Mrs. Turner once said, "had it not been for our troubles
we should never have known each other, for it was those very sorrows
that knit us together."
"Ay, ay," interrupted Mrs. Grimes, "for your Pollie somehow made my gal
hate the streets, else she might a run there till now, and never a been
the rale good scholar she be."
"Ah, Pollie be a comfort to you," observed the other old friend; "and
how she do grow, to be sure! Well, well, bless her heart, she won't have
to rough it, my dear--leastways I hope not,--nor be led to go wrong like
my poor Nora; still she'll have her sorrows, like the rest on us."
Yes, that was true; she would have her share of the trials that fall to
the lot of all, and so would trusty Sally; but happily they knew where
to take their cares, and He who had led them to this peaceful home would
be with them still. And thus we leave them--living their lives in
peaceful content, grateful for the memories given, and trusting in Him
always.

And all this happiness had been brought about by--a simple Bunch of
Violets!
