Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-03-05
March, There and Here.

About this time of the year the al
manac of the Eastern man, if he is
not located little too near the North
Pole, warns him to look out for rough
chilly winds. His days are rendered
disagreeable by mingled slush and
snow, followed by nights of nip
ping cold. His Winter stores of fod-
der are growing scant and his cattle,
pinched by months of storms and
cold, are pining for the return of
Spring, still long way off. The
toughest and dryest of his apples are
all that remain in his cellar, and the
only vegetable he can command are
the remnants of his last years crop of
potatoes and turnips that careful pro-
lection has preserved from the search
ing Investigations of Jack Frost
His fields are barren and his woods are
bare. Turn to Los Angeles, and how
changed the scene appears A coat of
verdure clothes the fields, and birds of
beauty sing in the fruit and flower
laden branches of the trees. The orange
trees hang full of their lustrous globes
of luscious sweetness strawberries
blush amid the leaves, and fragrant
uOWcTS VI tIOuSdIlu DIltlldflU uueS
fill the air with their matchless fra
GRANGE. Our verdant hills are covered
with happy children, or languid inva-
lids from some far-off northern home,
who loll lazily in the bright sunshine,
drinking in the soft yet vigorous air
and listening to the hum of bees and
the song of the mocking-bird and the
linnet. Over the rough mountain
sides and rolling foothills count
less bands of sheep are crop
ping the tender grass, while in the
valleys the sleek cattle are up to their
eyes in clover, and the farmer boys are
jolly in anticipation of fruitful year.
We don't grub around in the cellar for
frost-bitten potato, or dive in the
straw for a withered apple, but with
appetites made dainty by succession
of luscious fruits, we pick carefully
over the tree for the finest orange, and
turn away impatiently from anything
but the freshest products of the garden.
Who would shiver in the rough biting
atmosphere of a northern cline when
he can bask in the generous warmth
of our southern sun?
