MY SUMMER IN A G A It DEN. 90 



work. If you do things by the job. 

 you are perpetually driven : the hours 

 are scourges. If you work by the hour, 

 you gently sail on the stream of Time, 

 which is always bearing you on to the 

 haven of Pay, whether you make any ef 

 fort, or not. Working by the hour tends 

 to make one moral. A plumber working 

 by the job, trying to unscrew a rusty, 

 refractory nut, in a cramped position, 

 where the tongs continually slipped off, 

 would swear ; but I never heard one of 

 them swear, or exhibit the least impa 

 tience at such a vexation, working by the 

 hour. Nothing can move a man who is 

 paid by the hour. How sweet the flight 

 of time seems to his calm mind !
